Hello,
I am a first time car buyer and I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 ST 4.7L 4WD truck in my sights. I am buying from the original owner who put 136,500 miles on it, replaced the spark plugs a thousand miles ago and has brand new tires on it. It was listed at $3,800 but I was able to bring it down to $2,800. However, there are a few issues, most notably the check engine light is on and had the code P0300 when I ran the meter. The truck is in good shape otherwise, but did hesitate some while I was test driving. I know this misfire could mean a number of issues but I am wondering if you guys think this buy is worth it. I am set to pick it up on Saturday but have raised my concerns to the owner based on the fact that in order to register the car in my state I need to pass an emissions test. All advice welcome.
Thank you
