So I’ve been lookin into getting a truck for the past few months. Not really in a super rush so waiting for the right deal.
Don’t want to bug anything new so been lookin for used.
At first I was looking for one with lower miles between 100-130k. They aren’t cheap. So started thinking maybe one with a. Rebuilt engine.
I found a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi with 246k and a rebuilt engine at 180k. so about 60k on the new engine. He’s asking like 8k but the truck looks like it’s been taken care of. I am not the most knowledgeable so I will be having a mechanic look at it as well.
My question is, would it be dumb to buy one with that many miles on it even tho the engine was rebuilt 60k miles ago?
Or should I try to find one with the lower mileage, and expect to get a new engine sooner than later?
Any advice would be appreciated!
