First truck?

Gjohnson · Dec 15, 2011

I'm in the market for my first truck and I saw this on craigslist what do you guys think? Is it a good deal? Also what was your first truck? =======2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie *HEMI* DUAL EXHAUST* NICE TRUCK=========

My first truck was a 2006 Dodge Ram. Then I upgraded to my current truck.

That seem really really cheap. So if its a decent driving truck I would say so

EJM05 · Dec 15, 2011

Oh yea. It does seem really cheap. Call them up and test drive it. Try and get a carfax report on it.

Gjohnson · Dec 15, 2011

Well it has 149k on her so that's what I am worried about. It's from a dealer so I can get an extended warranty aswell

wermbang · Dec 15, 2011

Well thats the price of a 2nd gen truck, so it would be a hell of deal if it doesn't need much.

Gjohnson · Dec 15, 2011

I will also try to get a car fax. Anything inpreticular on the 03 ram hemis I should look for

HemiBabe · Dec 15, 2011

Hmm... that is REALLY cheap... I would be worried about some underlying issues with it being that cheap, I dont think the mileage should knock it down that low. I'd check all the fluids and for leaks, etc

quietpeen · Dec 15, 2011

wouldn't hurt to have a mechanic take a look at it.

My first truck was a 2001 Ford Ranger Edge

Price seems too good to be true. I'd be worried about issues and if it is a real laramie. Also the 03 hemis have a lot of issues when it comes to certain mods

My first truck was this one, 2011 R/T

EJM05 · Dec 15, 2011

I didn't know they made the Laramie in a reg cab....

WhiteExpress · Dec 15, 2011

Looks like a nice clean truck. Doesn't mean it's a good one.

Then again, for $4k, you could afford to fix pretty much anything other than a bent frame!

Badger · Dec 15, 2011

Cheap!
First truck was a 79 f100.

My first truck was a 1978 Chevy 10 4x4. That was in 1992. Been quite a few since then. But I still miss that truck. Had a 350 and would just eat mud. I was young and abused it way more than I should have. I held up great. I miss that old truck.

ol'red02 · Dec 15, 2011

this is my first truck 02 sport quad cab with the 4.7l in it and i bought it with 153k miles, honestly that is way cheaper than my truck was i dont know if its the model or what. But if i could go back id stay away from those miles, ive had some costly problems with this truck. But then again that is a really good deal, so my advice is really look into it and if you feel anything is wrong or making any noise make them check it out.

Badger · Dec 15, 2011

I would say take it to a mechanic outside of that place and have them give it a good run down. I picked up my ram on the cheap but I knew it needed balljoints and u joints jumping in to it. That's why is was cheap.

suzukiquadrider · Dec 15, 2011

They did make a laramie in a regular cab i test drove one.

KGBIGCOUNTRY · Dec 16, 2011

Take it for a spin and listen for anything out of place. Its a good starter setup.

TheSatinPumpkin · Dec 16, 2011

Didn't know the Laramie comes with a chrome style bumper and grille that is common w/ SLT models.

I would double check carfax to see if there was any front end damage in the past.

My first "truck" was a 90's Holden Ute. First truck in the States was a 03 3.7 Dodge Ram 1500 QC.

Captain McGillycutty · Dec 16, 2011

Hmm just be careful.
First truck was a 99 ram 1500, then 07 ram 1500, now 11 power wagon
