I stumbled across a 2000 Ford Ranger pick up at a used car lot, i just drove by, but didnt check the mileage, but it was $2695.00. My questions are is this a good price, and would this be a relilable car for a 16 year old kid to drive to school everyday?

I think it would be a great deal and a nice vehicle for your kid to drive.

My 88 Ford Ranger died while I was driving. I took the fuel filter off pumped the gas but no gas was flowing. The car and both its tanks have a full tank of gas. The car turns over but wont start. Could this have anything to do with the fuel pump and why its not running. Everthing else works but I cant understand why its not running?? Please help me if you have any clue of what I am saying LOL.

Thanks

I'd get it to a shop and have a professional take a look at it, could be a fuse, a relay, fuel pump etc....
