1987 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"A good bargain!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went out at about 95,000.
AC went out twice, probably bad seals.
Exterior paint has deteriorated.
Recently replaced the muffler for a second time.
Still has the original clutch!
General comments?
Excellent purchase - have really gotten my money's worth. Only a few mechanical problems.
