2008 Ford Ranger Fx4 Extended Cab Pickup 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars

Year:2008 Mileage:66400

Madison, Wisconsin, United States

Madison, Wisconsin, United States

This was pretty much the top of the line model and most expensive option package Ranger available in 2008.  I'm the second owner.  It spent the first 58,000 miles and four years of it's life in the moisture and salt-free environment of New Mexico. For the past two years (and only 8,000 miles) it's been in Wisconsin-- but kept in a heated underground garage the entire time. 


I'm asking near the high end of the blue book range because it's a Southern truck and has some features not shown on the Kelly Blue Book website. I've installed an epoxy bedliner, new battery, recent coolant flush, new thermostat, and a brand new clutch (with lifetime warranty). It also has (legally) tinted windows and comes with detached factory running boards (which I removed because they just seemed kind of pointless).


Carfax shows that it had a minor accident in 2009 (before I owned it).  It is truly impossible to find evidence of any body repair anywhere.  The salesman I bought it from believed that the windshield had gotten cracked and the previous owner had filed an insurance claim to get it replaced-- hence the entry.  The tires are good and no mechanical issues whatsoever.  This is really a near-pristine example of the now-extinct compact pickup class, with most of its life still ahead of it. 


**As far as the transaction goes, the bank still owns a chunk of this truck-- and in WI they hold onto the title when that is the case.  If I get a couple days lead-time after payment (and before delivery), I'll obtain the title.  Otherwise, the successful buyer will likely have to make a quick trip with me to the bank (during normal business hours) with cash or cashier's check to complete the transaction and get the title transfer document.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid

Thu, 02 May 2013

No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.

How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.
