So we’re giving LOW mileage stuff a go this time.
Yesterdays auction got me a MINT 2003 Ranger with 74,000 miles and a 2011 E-250 with only 28,000 miles. Also in damn near mint condition.
Let‘s see how this works out.

Well I’ll be keeping the Ranger for a while. It’s way nicer than I realized. I don’t think it was driven in winter lol.
E-250 drives as you’d hope for a 26,000 mile vehicle. Should look great once detailed

Diesel Gator and some baby Kubota combos coming up mid month.
I’ve got a strong bid on the Gator already. Waiting on the Kubotas to get posted online.
I’ll probably end up selling the backhoe off of it if I get one to offset the cost. Plus having the the rear PTO and 3-pt usable will be more useful for me. I’d rather buy another mini ex and just have two separate machines.

I’ve wanted one since I was a kid. Family friends of ours owned a John Deere dealer, and growing up, once a year they would drop off a shiny new Gator for me to drive around for a week from the age of like 6-10.
I personally don’t care if it’s gas or diesel, but the diesels are fun, and people have fabbed turbo kits for them lol.

Today’s score. Buddy’s wife old car. It died on them sitting at a stop light. He put a crank sensor in, now it runs but has no power and he gave up on it, he’s notorious for getting a project to about 95% and then scrapping it. Sensor needs to be learned. It sat outside for about a year and then in their garage for another year or so, had a weird engine noise. I removed serpentine belt and it was silent so that ruled out anything internal, thinking AC compressor or alternator. Victory offered him $325 I gave him $400
It’s a 2008 Patriot Limited. Heated seats, double din head unit already... 97,000 miles lol
I’d be tempted to keep it for a daily but from what I remember these things are iffy in the reliability department. Average Econ says 24.2 and she did a lot of city driving. If I can squeeze close to 30 out of it I might just run it.

Shit engine (NVH, depending on what engine it might not be that bad but...), IIRC most had CVT trans (shit), Chrysler electrical, shit front end components.
It’ll sell quickly and for a good amount because it’s a Jeep, so you have that going for ya.
yeah i helped sell one and it fucking sucked. the thing was such a huge fucking piece of shit.
some crack dealer who got shot in the foot earlier that week bought it from me. real fun transaction.

Ended up replacing cam and crank sensors with Mopar OE and it fired right up.
Trans is lame. Drives like poo. Perfect for some kids first car, it’ll be listed for sale tonight lol.
