Good deal or not?

Jgc1986 · May 25, 2017

I thought it was priced a little high (due to mileage) from my research but wanted to let you all take a look and let me know what you thought...

Maybe I'm wrong but imo the price is high for the mileage and the age of the truck

Jgc1986 · May 25, 2017

I felt that way too...I feel it's a solid $6,000 truck, maybe a little more, but definitely not $9,900.

Probably why it's been sitting almost a month and no sale yet.

if you actually go look at one and it has fender flares, check under the flares for rust. Alot of people try to cover it up with flares.

That one is really clean and also a decent price.

It's gone too. I'm considering the white one still if I can get the price down and it has recent history of mechanical work like transmission.

Looks like this guy buys cheap vehicle, does some upgrades and flips them. Even with the new lift and 35s, I'd be scared because it already has 200k miles. I'd keep looking!

I drove 2hrs to get my truck, have you looked farther away?

02ramboi · May 28, 2017

Don't rush and buy a truck it took me a very long time to find my truck like I wanted it's very hard to find a older truck not used and abused for work. Even if you find a stock one for way less and way less miles you can add all the upgrades yourself so you know it's all brand new.like usaf2006 said look outside of where you live something will pop up and catch your eye. 10,000 for that with 200,000 miles is very insane I live in Miami where everything is expensive and it's not that bad.

I found this at a dealership, but its in GA, and I am in VA...They will transfer it up here for "$849 to $1,000" they said which is insane to me

Somethings off with this one though I have a feeling, if you look at the Carfax it recently failed emissions then passed a few days later...and that hitch is for towing something larger than just a trailer isn't it?

You're exactly right, its being sold by a shop that does lifts, accessories, etc on vehicles as their main business.

I have looked farther away in the state of VA but may start looking at surrounding states, the only problem with that is I have never bought an out of state vehicle and it would have to pass VA state inspection.

usaf2006 · May 28, 2017

Nah the hitch is normal

Found this one and they'll do $6200 they said, it's tempting but kinda higher mileage than I wanted.

The gunmetal one was really nice but I didn't see the miles and red one is nice too it seems really clean

Gunmetal one (Used Truck 2004 Graphite Metallic Dodge Ram 1500 SLT For Sale in Virginia | 1D7HA18D54J124817) had 152422 miles

Jgc1986 · May 29, 2017

I found a 2003 quad cab with 177k miles on the 4.7 engine, 4x4, only issue is brake light bulb and radio doesn't work. Asking $5k. Nice newer off road tires and possibly a small lift from what I can tell.

chrisp2493 · May 29, 2017

I paid 5k for my 03 with 140,000, but it had a Hemi. It is had some other issues I had to fix. That was kinda cheap for my area

Damn yeah that was a pretty good deal then, wish i could find something like that around here!

Jgc1986 · Jun 10, 2017

I found a 2002 with 84k miles,. 2 inch lift, cold air intake, nice tires and wheels I'm going to be getting.

Good deal or not?
