New to forum, new to rangers and looking to buy

[RideEverything]

Hi all! I'm almost the proud owner of a 2004 Ranger 4x4 500cc. I occasionally sell stuff for people on the side to make a little extra dough, and my dad's best buddy wants me to sell his '04 Ranger 4x4 with a nice Zieman Trailer. The ranger is bone stock and was owned by some lady who lived on a farm in Temecula. It has 600 hours and is a little beat up, but it was just serviced (brakes, oil, etc) and runs like a champ. Brakes, steering, power, all feels good.

It's in my garage now and I'm thinking of buying the whole set. He wants to get around $4.5 to 5K for the lot, but would be willing to sell it to me for $3,500 for everything. My thought is, sell the trailer ('cause I don't need it) for $900 or so, which would leave a price around $2,500 for the ranger. Sounds pretty good to me, thoughts?

I've been going through it the last couple of nights, cleaning, charging the battery, etc. Anything in particular I should check? I'm mechanically talented, with the exception of engines. I haven't committed to anything yet but I sure would like to make the purchase. If I don't get this one, who knows when and if I'll ever get one!!

Thanks and looking forward to contributing!!
