Question Should I trade?

Should I trade my 1997 Chevy Cavalier (that I paid $350 for) for a 1994 Ford Ranger? I haven't checked out the truck yet, but it looks decent in the pics. Only problem is, its PURPLE. Not dark toreador red, we're talking Barney freaking purple.



It's a 4 banger 5 speed (which is what I want) with 182K miles. My brother has a newer one with 200K on it, on the original clutch (dad's owned it since new). My Cavi has 250,4xx miles on it, but runs great.

I've owned two 4-cyl, 5 speed Rangers. A 95' and 00'. Great little trucks! Never had a purple one but for the right deal I could drive one. Good luck in your decision!

Seeing as it doesn't have the dreaded 3.0 V6, go for it.

I'm going to look at it this weekend, although I was just thrown another twist by my parents... They know I want my brother's (dad's old) Ranger (its white). Mom wants to get rid of her Jeep, and my brother wants that, so they would trade him the Ranger + cash for the Jeep, then I'd buy the Ranger after selling my Cavi. Problem is, they'll take forever for her to find a new car. I think that the purple Ranger would be worth more than the Cavi though. Need to look into it all.

I'd be inclined to keep the car. You already have a truck, what do you need the Ranger for?

This coming from a guy who has an F-150 and a Ranger.......:o

What are you talking about, the 3.0 is a great strong motor. Its not the fastest in the world but it will last forever if you take care of it.
