well the ranger is still here but not for much longer it seems the problem was more serious then we thought after i got a new tank of gas the service engine light went off so we thought ok just might have been a bad tank of gas. well yesterday the light came back on and i thought ok its just the emissions thing again. well today me and my dad looked under the hood and the radiator was empty didnt see that coming cause the engine hasnt been running hot or anything so we refilled the raidator and when i got home from my friend shiken house i poped the hood to see it it was still full and low and behold it was empty but the engine still wasnt running hot so it seem that something is seriously wrong with the truck and were not sure how long it will last. man im going to miss that truck i've put about 40,000 miles on her in the year and a half i've had her.

I hope that Firebird has a V8. I know I can get a similar '00 V6 Firbird for 5k~ off the lot, no trade in. Same for a Camaro of similar year. I really have no faith in dealerships unless you're buying something new. Otherwise, pay a visit to the smaller private salesmen and find one who is honest and likes to deal.

So it does have a V6. Factory warranty transfers despite who sales it, as long as the years/milage aren't up... Unless you got an extended warranty? As for tires, over paying for a warranty on tires doesn't justify the price. You can buy a new quality set of tires for under $1000 easy. How much credit did they actually give you for that Ranger? Sounds like they came out ahead on the deal. I'd watch myself before dealing with them again and shop around.
