Used 98 Ford Ranger - 73K Miles for sale in Scotts Valley, CA

Ford Ranger, 73K miles, two-wheel drive, manual/stick, bed cover, hitch package. This is not an extended cab version. I have owned it for two years - has been a great vehicle, am selling only because I now need 4wd.

I had it inspected about a year ago and got new ball joints on the left and right front of vehicle and new brakes. Mechanic told me that the shocks could be replaced, but was not a safety issue. I also added the hitch package.
I've used the truck for household dump runs, moving, and every now and then when I wanted a change from the daily driver. (Same use as prior owner). It has always started right up and has never left me hanging. No leaks or issues that I am aware of.

This is a very basic vehicle.
Roll up (manual) windows
Heating, but no AC
Vinyl Mat (not carpeted) flooring
Seats (vinyl) seem mint and appear to have been covered for entire life.

The interior is in excellent condition. The exterior is "ok" solely due to the passage of time. There are no major dents or obvious damage.
There is rust on the front bumper (see pic). There does not appear to be any indication of rust in engine etc.
There are patches where the paint has chipped/peeled. Not really visible from afar, but the blemishes are clear when you stand next to it (see pics). The tires are not all consistent in make or tread level (see pics).

I am being as up front as possible in descriptions and am happy to answer questions. I do not want to haggle or nickel-and-dime. If thrive by being an aggressive negotiator, then we can double the price and you can work me down by 50%.

I can show the vehicle during the work week in Scotts Valley.
