common rail diesel

I agree with em' it could have had a hard life, there's a lot of wear & tear on a all the other components, drive train etc. in saying all that ,depends on price and what you intend to use it for.

Depending on the year of manufacture, I would not be touching it, to many maybe's that can and probably will go wrong, 375k is a lot of miles and you don't know where it has beeen or cared for. Just my opinion, with some experience.

Are you sure its common rail? If it is fig $5000 for a new pump and $4000 for injectors if not already done. And they have head problems like most alloy head/cast block motors that will set you back another 3 to 4 thousand if not all ready relpaced.
good luck Pete

Make your decision based on the condition of the vehicle, service history etc - the fact that the engine is Common Rail is not really relevant.

thanks all. might leave it alone as service history is a bit patchy.

There is nothing wrong with common rail diesels for reliability and longevity.

Common rail has been around since 1997 but more common in Australia from about 2005.

look at all the heavy trucks running common rail....... I'm sure there are many nudging over 1m kilometers.

And as for this specific Ford Ranger your looking at....... any thing with 375k on the clock is getting to it's use by date and can cost big money, not just CRD engined vehicles.

Seriously anything at 375k you would have to expect to spend money (brakes, suspension, cooling system, air con, drive train, engine, electrics and all sundry and trim items), 500 for that, a grand for this and two grand for that soon puts you in the price range of one thats done 100k.... it's not a new car.
