im looking at buying a 2010 ram 2500 with 5.7 hemi. it is a crew cab long bed. paint is in good shape, no rust except minor surface stuff. truck has 250k miles on title and carfax. the cluster shows 160k miles. im not worried about the mismatch, but about the total overall mileage. i dont see many hemis with that many miles.
good side:
its a 1 owner trade in, that was resold at auction a couple times. its at a dealer local to me.
1 owner serviced it at toyota dealer most of its life.
the engine is quiet, i was expecting some ticking or cam noise
tires are in good shape and it drives /shifts fine.
its had a LOT of maintenance work done, trans cooler lines, radiator and hoses, brakes, diff seals, bushings, oil changed every 3-5k
bad side:
suspension is rough and stiff, would def need shocks at the least. (maybe moving from 1500 to 2500 is why it feels like that?)
tpms is all over the place, 2 sensors dont work, other two showing 60 psi in tires
check engine light is on for gas cap (p0456 p0457) the cap is not oem
has a small dent on rear bed bottom side. not worried about this, barely noticable.
overall: carfax says its retail value is 12400. was asking 12k, i got him down a bit, but im second guessing myself buying a 250k mile hemi truck.
appreciate any opinions or comments
