Your budget is a little low. The 2011 Ranger I sold in 2021 sold for $21,000.

There's only one on Autotrader within 50 miles of me in Phoenix in that price range, and it has a salvage title.
As mentioned above, your budget seems a bit low for this generation of Ranger.

Check out your local classifieds and see what they are asking. It probably is more that you think.

Is it a banked 15-20k amount, or is it you financed buying power?
Either way if you’re in the states (I’ll use California as my example since it’s where I’m located.)
If you have the 15-20k use half as a down payment $7,500-$10,000. And try to get a good rate (financial rates are pretty crap in Cali right now.). You’ll find one around $25k-$32k but it’ll likely have around or over 50k miles..(speaking of a XLT trim +2-5k for a lariat).
If your finances are 15-20k financed.. you may be in a bit of a bind there…

Hope you find a good deal..

but the likely hood of getting a clean title one at the 15-20k price point is not zero but pretty close to it…
Might find one with a blown transmission for around that price..

also this is just my opinion.

Welcome to the forum, Leigh. The majority of the active users of these specific forums are from the USA, so you're likely to receive USA-based advice. We got our 5g Ranger in 2019, so that is why you're seeing folks insinuate that prices might be higher. Seeing as you're from Suffolk (England I presume?) you may want to be sure that when you're searching Ranger5g.com, that you're filtering your results to focus on models available in your region.

Here's the "Europe" region-specific forum for this website: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/forums/europe.63/

Additional keywords such as "2.0" or "diesel" might help you filter Euro-spec results, as our specifications are different.

Good luck!

I had only thought of Suffolk, VA.
My bad.

First, I'd suggest using car-buying websites to gain a better understanding of the market for the trim level, configuration, and option list that you want.

Second, if the site provides that type of filter, set your max price and mileage to see what is left to choose from.

Third, check service records for anything you'd consider buying and factor in the cost of an extended warranty as part of the purchase.
