IMHO Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Just sold my 3 year-old Ranger 2.2 XLT with 60k on the clock and traded up for a new Wildtrak 3.2 4x4. The only problem I had with the former was a bad battery from stock (which I replaced out-of-warranty). So apart from that and the cost of all the diesel, the oil and filters from 4 services, a new tire after I buggered one up on road accident debris and all the car washes, I managed to get 450,000 baht for it (cost me 808,000 baht on the road in 2012). I am looking forward to at least another 3 years and/or 60,000 km of comfortable and economical driving. losing 358,000 Baht in 2 years or so is economical?

I mentioned in another thread that the true value is probably at least 100k baht more but that aint gonna happen. It's the Thai second-hand car market. We don't have a dog in that fight. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Ford called me yesterday and confirmed that I was a new Ranger owner and it was my second Ranger in 3 years. As a loyalty award, they are giving me free services for 3 years. So I will tack that onto the freebies that the saleslady already gave me.

The shock of a repeat buyer resonated pretty high up in the Ford heirarchy?

Keep on truckin Good news:) A decent truck should go 300-400K kms with no issues as long as it is well maintained. Still a bit early as the Ranger was only release a bit over 4 years ago but I reckon if one got 100k out of it without issue that would be a good thing but does not seem all that common though.

Don Mega Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 No, mines the white model Ok but the model is correct..... One would hope all the bugs have been sorted from a vehicle that effectively had a lifespan from 19961 to 2011. The Ranger I was talking about is the newer version which had many issues, Issues which hopefully Ford have sorted out with the facelift model coming.

Just kidding... Yup, that's why I bought it, plus they were offering 0% finance on the old stock Not interested in new release models... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were many issues, I am pretty sure they would have gone way beyond the remodeled interior and new grille on the 2015 makeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iam sure there are other differences as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minor change is a little more than just a remodeled interior and new grille Both engines have been revised - the 2.2L gains 10HP and 16% fuel savings. The 3.2L maintains it's output, but achieves 18% fuel savings. The suspension has been retuned for more comfort, while also improving handling. All models now have electric power steering, which improves FE and adjusts assistance with road speed. Inside there's now an 8" color touchscreen with Sync2, and another 2x 4" screens left/right of the speedo, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
