Thank you for viewing my auction. After being disappointed by all the ratty other Ranger's out there and looking at this one, please feel free to message me. Very rare to find in such excellent, garaged kept condition. Beautiful and rare Oxford White Supercab with XLT package ( power mirrors, extra sound deadening, chrome bumpers, carpet, rear bed lights, chrome grill insert, and Premium Sound system), power windows and locks with keyless entry, flareside bed, interior upgrade package ( silver faced instrument cluster, silver trimmed radio bezel, and gray insert seats), tow package, 3.73 rear end gears, chrome wheels, Ford bedliner, and 5 speed manual. Most of the loaded ones, such as this were automatics. This was ordered with the manual transmission, specifically to tow behind RV's. You can't tow an automatic behind an RV with out disconnecting the driveshaft . Very hard to find one not messed with and hacked up. 1 family owned since new. Original owners manuals and handouts. No dents, scratches, or dings in the body or bumpers. When being towed it front was covered with road wrap to prevent road rash. No accidents ever. All rubber and trim not faded or rotted like all the others. Washed weekly since new and waxed at least once per month. Pride of ownership shows in every aspect of this immaculate truck. The 2003 is also well know to be the best year Ranger too as it is the first year of the larger front brakes, last year of the well loved 2001-2003 front clip, last year of the comfortable seats, last year of the extra sound insulation for the XLT package, & the last year for the Stelite valve seats on the 3.0 engines. The 2004+ 3.0's had poor valve seats that would sink in to the cylinder heads, thus needing a valve job with in 100K miles & better valve seats installed. The 2003 & older already had the Stelite valve seats, as well as a roller cam from the factory. 2003 also had the highest HP rating of the 3.0 Vulcan engine. Pay a little more and get A LOT more with this truck, over the others out there where you are most likely buying someone else's problems!!
This 2003 Ranger XLT was purchased new at Palm Springs Ford, in CA on 12-10-2002. It was special ordered with the options they wanted. Original owners were in their 80's and towed it behind their $800K Marathon RV. Once the RV was completed, this truck was equipped with the tow bar brackets to tow behind the RV to use at their stops. Was always garaged kept in Palm Springs, CA when not being towed, and covered when at RV parks. In 2005, they decided they no longer wanted to RV any more and gave the truck and the RV to their son who worked at Palm Springs Ford. He was able to get this truck certified with a 7 year 100K warranty and then continued to RV with his family, and storing the truck when not in use with the RV in a storage warehouse. In late 2009, he gave the RV and the Ranger to his sister after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Her and her family enjoyed the RV and truck for several cross country and Canada trips during the summer months until 2013 when the RV had an electrical fire and burned inside. It was totaled by the insurance company, and luckily the Ranger was at home in their garage and did not get damaged! They then gave the Ranger to their 40 ish daughter who owns a property management company and drove it for business use. She is the one that gave me the history and I bought it from her when she needed a larger truck and bought an F150. It was in her family since new, so on paper, you will be the first owner of record, not in her family. The condition speaks for itself. Less than 25K miles where this truck was actually driven under its own power. Being that it was towed for 120K+ miles with the key on (for lights to work with RV connector and coil packs disconnected), it is safe to say the truck has LESS than 25K driven miles. It drives, looks, and runs like a 25K mile truck even though odometer reads 136K from all the RV towing. I will include the tow brackets that attach to tow bar if you want them. No leaks, knocks, or odd noises of any kind. Smooth power, transmission shifts perfect, clutch doesn't slip, no overheating even in 110 degree heat!! Truck needs nothing. Nothing leaks, drips, or seeps, You will not find a nicer, immaculate, no worry truck for this price!!
I am both a PS and TRS on ebay, which less than 1% of seller are, and have a 100% positive feedback score, so have no worries. Please take the time to allow the 160+ detailed photos to load (scroll down), it IS WELL WORTH the wait, and PLEASE read the entire description before asking questions (I know it is long, but I wanted to cover all bases.) If you are serious, I know you will read every word, and look at every picture! This is the type of person I am looking for. This Ranger is priced for a quick sale to the discriminating enthusiast/collector that appreciates all the details, cleanliness, and correctness of a nice, solid, ready to go truck with out the worries of the gas hog 4.0 that throws timing chains, or the under powered 4 cylinder. Great daily driver, or to use when you need to haul things. Perfect advertising vehicle for your business too and can even be a tax write-off if used as such!!
Shipping available at buyer's expense by a licensed, bonded and insured auto transport company that I have used for years with no issues. Message me for a shipping quote from my door to yours.
Stops very well with no pulls and straight. Has front power discs and huge rear drums with ABS. Does not get hot even idling in 110 degree heat for 25 minutes. It starts right up and sounds great! Engine oil, oil filter, and air filter are all new. Transmission fluid, rear end fluid, and power steering fluid are also all new. Windshield original Carlite with no chips or scratches. Tires are all matching size and size and are around 80%. Wheels have no scuffs of any kind. Many original marking on the immaculate underside, which has been detailed frequently since new and protectant applied to preserve all finishes. You will be the second owner not in the family of this truck on record. Clear signed CA title and signed bill of sale for easy transfer. Truck needs nothing at all. I drove the truck to San Diego and back and the truck got 28 MPG!!
In my 20 years in the Mustang business, I have rarely seen, owned, or driven a nicer, well maintained, immaculate truck! I have owned over 1000 Mustangs, Shelby's, Big Block's, Boss's, Pantera's, Saleen's, Roush's, Cobra's. Lightning's etc, mostly collector models, and rarely see a vehicle (of ANY type) that are 11 years old and still look and drive better than new. Interior even still smells new. Cigarette lighter never used. Does not have the power steering moan like most have. Nothing leaks, drips, or seeps. It is very easy to drive and maneuver, much more so than full size trucks, plus gets much better gas mileage. This truck will get 25+ on the freeway. It starts the first time, EVERY time. It has the improved design fuel pump already done, so no waiting for it to start like most. It idles smoothly and does not smoke. Original seat belts are excellent. Factory interior buttons look like new. None of the original silk screening has worn off anything inside. You simply can NOT find another like this!!! This is a one in a million truck, hands down!
Underside, and engine box kept clean since new as is the exterior and interior. Carpet is clean (has a few burn marks, but does not smell like it was ever smoked in). Original Ranger logo floor mats have always been covered when driven since new. Seats look great too. No holes or unraveling. Still has new car smell. Has Ford installed alarm that locks door when vehicle is in motion. Nice 2013 model CD player with MP3 and cable for phones and I-pods. Just look at the pictures, they really explain this truck, hands down, better than I can.
A/C is ice cold, and heat hot. Everything on this truck works. No squeaks or rattles. No vibrations, odd smells, or odd nosies.
Truck is available for inspection and can be shipped anywhere. Out of country buyers welcome too, if you arrange shipping. I can have the truck delivered to the Long Beach Port, if need be at your expense. Clear title in hand. I have used several reputable shipping companies that are insured and bonded over the years with no issues, and will be happy to arrange for a serious buyer with BUY IT NOW at your expense, or you can fly into Palm Springs International Airport and I will pick you up and you can drive this gorgeous truck home. Tags good thru December, 2014. Passes smog with flying colors. Don't wait, once this Ranger is scooped up, it is gone and you will never find another like it!!
Please email me with phone # and I will call you with any info you're requesting. The underside is as clean as the the rest of the truck and still has all the original markings, line codes, inspection marks, stickers, etc. The pictures speak for themselves. Please allow the time for the 160+ pictures to load, scroll down (and over for full pictures), and enjoy!!
Any questions, please message me and I will respond promptly. This is a like to sell, not a must sell, or a desperation sale. I have 30+ high end vehicles in my collection, so it is not the end of the world if this does not sell. Most are $100K+ in my collection. I did a Buy It Now, so you don't have to bid an and wait, and hope to get it. Outright price for this truck is $9,900 to sell immediately. There is no reserve. No taxes collected by me or any document fees like others charge. I choose to do Buy It Now, fixed price auctions over regular bid auctions because many people put on their watch list, then forget to bid at the last minute, then are upset that they missed it!! Don't miss this one, you will never find another like it!! Deposit of $500 must be made immediately thru Paypal upon the use of BUY IT NOW and remaining balance due with in 3 days of winning auction. If you need more time, please message me first. Any questions and/or inspections if wanted must be made BEFORE using BUY IT NOW. Please do not use Buy It Now unless you already have the money. You are welcome and encouraged to come and inspect the truck or send someone to look at it before buying. I am not a dealer, so no sales tax will be collected by me. Truck is sold as is with no warranty by me expressed or implied. Shipping must be paid by the buyer from Palm Springs, CA 92262 or I can help arrange for serious buyers, or you are welcome to pick it up yourself. Must be paid for in full with in 3 days. I have the clear title in hand and CA Bill of Sale. I work with several shipping companies that offer very reasonable transport too. Truck will not leave and title will not be sent until car is paid in full (and cleared) with either cash upon pick-up, direct deposit, loan check, or cashier's check/money order. Feel free to ask any questions and I will answer promptly. Check my feedback, I have sold several very high dollar ($200k+) vehicles on ebay over the years with no problems and have a 2300+ positive feedback score and am not only a PS, but a TRS. Less than 1% of sellers have achieved this status selling on eBay, so you can trust how I describe what I am selling by the feedback I have received by those that have purchased from me that give these ratings. I have never had a person buy a vehicle from me on ebay sight unseen that has not been 100% happy. I reserve the right to end this auction early as the truck is advertised on several other sites and publications, so if you want it, use BUY IT NOW before someone else buys it!! If you can not meet these simple requirements, please do not use Buy It Now and waste your time, mine, and others that are serious. I am VERY picky with vehicles I sell. Again, I have 30+ vehicles and none are a must sell, just trying to free up some space as I can barely walk in my warehouses they are so full. Truck is rarely driven as I have several trucks. Mileage may vary slightly as I do drive this truck sometimes and people may drive for test drives with me in it. I am not interested in magazine coverage, picture collectors, or time wasters that just want to come and look at my collection.
In summary. This Ranger XLT is a no excuse, honest truck, that needs nothing. Get in and drive anywhere. Everything works, it has been babied since new, and always garaged, covered, and/or warehoused. Remember, you get what you pay for, this truck does not need anything. No excuses, issues, or stories. No other truck for under $20K compares to this one for the money. Ford no longer makes the Ranger, and clean, low mileage ones bring much more than Blue Book!! Have a great day and thank you for looking and (hopefully) reading my long description..I just want to be thorough. Each time I think of something else, I revise the listing, add more pictures, and before I know it, it ends up this long!! Very few read what I end up writing, but I write what I do for those that are serious so you can feel 100% confident in knowing what you are getting. Feel free to contact me with any questions and have a great day. :)
