Tell me what you guys think...
So, i'm faced with shipping my cobra out to Ohio @ $1700 or driving it, which will cost alot in gas and depreciation... about the same, if not less...
neither of those I like, but if it happens, i'll drive it.
I can't tow the Cobra on a flat bed due to the ranger only having the 2.5L motor and a standard..
Here's what I'm thinking...
Trade my truck in for (hopefully $2500 to 2700) this guy ----> http://www.truckworldusa.com/vehicle/387/
I figure with tax, and other fee's it would be like $10,800. Doing rough math, guessing my trade in for $2500 that would leave me with $8300 to pay. I could do about $5,000 cash and then put the rest on a card.
I already want to get rid of the ranger, and I bet this 00 4x4 4.0 should be able to handle the cobra on a flat bed fine.
Do you think it's worth it? Yes/no, why? I'm really stressing over this one, so any input would be helpful!!!

How abour these? I know it's a pain... but I'm relying on the ranger experts now!
I basically want the 4.0 4x4, so that I know it could haul the cobra, and get me through the winter months there in Ohio.

sell the ranger here, drive the cobra there.
Think of how boring a tow run of that length would be changing lanes, getting up to speed, gassing up every 200 miles from the tow weight
VS
A real adventure and time to bond with your Cobra.
Think about that drive in anything but the cobra.
I have a 2003 Mach 1 with 9,000 miles. I think of all the fun I could have had putting another 20,000 miles on it.

BUT
Uncle sam will only pay for me to move to Washington state... which is about 800+/- miles from here. Beavercreek, OH is about 2350 miles... they will only pay me for the 800. Kinda poopy.

I really don't like the idea of towing a car long distances with a ranger. I have a 98 4.0 and I wouldn't tow a car 500 miles let alone from cali to ohio.
As for the prices. I bought my 98 with 62,000 miles 2 years ago for 8,000. So that first one is highly over priced.
I would say sell your ranger. Rent a truck of some kind do the tow. Buy a truck in ohio.
