I paid 4900 for a 98 4x4 with 86000 miles on it. it has some dents some 4x4 problems and other various stuff. so if that truck is clean and is a 4x4 I would say yeah that is def worth it. at least it would be worth it here in cali i cant be sure about where you are
 






that interior pic is not that ranger that is some other car
 






Assuming the mileage is legit, and it's in good shape, I would say it's actually cheap. With mileage that unusually low, you can't really compare it to other '94 vehicles. It's really more appropriate to value it in comparison to all similar vehicles (4x4 mid-size pickup), with similar mileage and equipment/capabilities. Yes, it is still a '94, and may not have some features that newer, 52k mileage vehicle will have, so knock it down a bit for that, if those things matter to you. What your left with is that the asking price is pretty low for a 52k mile 4x4 pickup, in good shape.

Of course, location will play a factor, when pricing something like a 4x4 truck.

While I'm sure there are geographical differences in value, between IN, and NJ (where I am), as an example, I'm going to be selling a '93 Ranger XLT soon. I'm asking a pretty firm $2500, and I'm confident I'll get it, or very close. It has 150k, it's a stick (4.0L-V6), regualr cab (unlike the extended cab you're looking at), it has all manual windows/locks/etc.., and no a/c. Of course, it also has many new parts, and will have a new inspection sticker before it's sold. It's certainly not and "apples-to-apples" compariosn, but it should give you some sort of idea about the value of the one you're looking at.
 






If I was interested in that truck, I would look at sites like kelly blue book to get an idea of the value. They factor in your location. Then I would look what other similar Rangers are going for in your area. Then I would get a carfax to prove or disprove that mileage! Ask them to provide it.
 






I don't think that's the original rear bumper, i'd guess the original was painted red like the front was. Could be a clue to something... Just a thought. It looks like it's really clean and has been maintained well though.
 






Went and looked at the truck today. DS is faded pretty bad. It needs paint and body work all over. The 4WD is non-functional. It had a different tire in every corner and the fronts were bald and down to the wire on the inside. Interior didn't look very clean. I'd suspect it's more likely to have 152K than 52K.
 






If your still interested. Make the seller get you a carfax to verify mileage. Tires have to replaced eventually anyway. and the 4wd drive could be an easy fix.
 






Yeah, my desire for the truck is now gone.
