1994 Ford Ranger

• Dark blue paint with silver side graphics and grey wheel-arch flares looks glossy from a distance, and the truck sits level on alloy wheels.
• A black tonneau cover is fitted over the bed in every rear view, so the bed floor itself can't be judged.
• Dozens of ruler close-ups document small paint chips on the hood, including a scabbed chip near the centre of the hood.
• The same close-ups show scratches and chipped paint along the tailgate and the upper bed sides.
• Chips and white scuff marks are also documented on the grey front and rear wheel-arch flares.
• The headlights, grille and front fog lamps look intact, with light hazing on the headlight lenses in the close-ups.
• No interior, engine bay, underside or odometer photos are in this set, so the cab, motor, floors and frame can't be judged.

Money: At $13,900 the money buys a presentable-looking Ranger whose documented hood, tailgate and flare chips mean budgeting for paint touch-up, and the unseen interior, engine and underside are what matter most and can't be judged at this price.
