Great truck, but precious owner hadn't taken care

I loved my ranger, but the previous owner didn't take good care of it. That being said, it was quite reliable for the year and was a great commute vehicle. It's a great trick for someone who wants both a trick and halfway decent gas mileage. I would definitely buy another one, but if want a six cylinder in a newer year.

At 320000 the engine and everything else still working. Engine light is on and off. It burns only one quart of oil whenI change the oil every 5k miles. Of course, I've changed the clutche a couple of times as well as alternator and few other parts. In California I get 20 mpg.
