Hello all,i am looking at buying a 2004 ram, but it has a salvaged title due to it being in an accident. the guy said the frame is bent a little bit from the accident. he stated when driving the steering isnt straight while the truck is going staright. if you let go the truck drifts to the right i believe...i havent got a chance to see of all panels and doors are lined up but on quick look, it looks like yes. jus wondering if it is worth buying at 4k and how much estimated gettin the frame work done....the listing for the truck is posted below. he has posted pictures...thanks in advanced for the feedback....

I would stay away from it unless your buying it just for off road applications.

Just walk away. You don't want the hassel: uneven tire wear; wandering over lane when youre inattentive or tired; possible weird handling on snow/ice etc. Just walk away.

That truck will never be the same even after "fixing" the frame
