let me know what you guys think. it looks very clean, it has low miles and its everything i want haha. It comes with a plow the the dealer told me didnt look like it got used at all and it also had a hard bed cover both is wich I will most likely be selling. Over the phone the dealer also said $17,500 and its mine. I am going to look at it tomorrow but do you think this a good price? I think it is but a few people are telling me i should only be paying around 13 or 14

I think they are high on the price. Book value is one thing, market value is another. There is a glut of used vehicles out there and few buyers. I'd offer them $15K to start but not go too much beyond $16.5 as long as they offer up some free oil changes and lubrication services...say 5 of those.

If they want $17,500 they better include a 3 year MaxCare Extended Warranty as part of the package.

Personally I find 18,800 a bit high... i paid just over 20,000 for mine and its an 08. I don't think i'd be paying more then 15,000 for that truck. Mileage on it is good though, which i'm guessing has something to do with the price of the truck. Also, if i was going up to a 3/4 tonne, i think i'd be wanting a ctd... but thats just personal preference. One other thing, it looks like they've got the tiniest tires possible on that truck lol. they look so itty bitty haha. I'd definitely be putting bigger meats on first thing so theres another $1500-2000!

Good luck with whatever you decide, seems like it could be a good truck for the right price!!

its high, but I wonder how many are thinking its a 1500 vs 2500. Little difference in price there too.

I did get it down to 17,500 like i said and i will be trying to get it lower. under 17 would work for me personally. I just love the bigger truck i wouldnt be happy with a 1500

Unreal, blue book on that truck in the 11780 zip code, in EXCELLENT condition is $22,400...private party in FAIR condition is $17,600.

If the dealer is proud of that truck, you might not get him down much further.
