Cheap small truck

[Revolvers4Life]

Hello, my brother in law is just turning 16 and needs his first car. Ideally looking for a Ranger/S10/Sonoma but open to whatever.

He has a budget of 2,500 max which I know is low, but there are actually quite a few listed on Facebook for that or lower, would much rather deal with someone from here though.

Needs to run and drive outside of that don’t care about if it has a radio/good paint/dents…

Let me know if anyone has anything for sale.

Cheap and truck are almost impossible to use in the same sentence anymore. Good luck in finding the right vehicle.

There are a lot on Facebook right now when you are talking compact trucks like what I listed. Like I said would rather just not deal with the random strangers from there

rangers are tougher than S10's but are rough and cheap inside,, S10's ride better and have nice interiors compared to rangers..both will last ..have seen some of both at impound auction,,cheap and beatup,and needing work just to drive.

If you're looking at a Ranger or S10 that needs an engine rebuilt or a transmission rebuilt you're looking at $4k-$6k for the engine and $2k-$3k for an auto transmission, just depending on where/who does the work. Swapping in a used one is about a fourth of that or even less.
