Well I drove it today, and it's as smooth as glass! The engine is very smooth and the transmission shifts seamlessly! I did a 24 hour test drive on it today and I'm probably gonna buy it tomorrow! My dealer is letting the TDI owners get new cars early instead of having to wait a few weeks for the paper work to be finalized. You put a down payment on the car with a check they don't cash until you tell them you got your settlement money, which is great because I really wanted this truck and I didn't have to worry about someone else getting it while I'm still waiting.

Congrats! Did you talk them down any? I just bought a 2015 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab V6 with 22k miles on it for 27,000. I think (hope) I got a pretty good deal.

I just bought a 2016 Tradesman brand new for 27k.

Not yet, still have it for the test drive. The windshield has some stars in it that I didn't see before and the sales woman said they can knock some off due to that. I haven't really talked price yet but I don't wanna go more than $15000. I'm already looking for upgrades ha ha!

Great find! Was it QC/CC? 4x4? V6 or V8?

I bought a 2011 1500 with the 5.7, it's an SLT with the Outdoorsman package. The truck had 31,000 miles on it and I paid 24k for it. The truck is spotless no dents or rust.

Well I'm the proud owner of a new to me Ram 1500! Did the test drive and with in the hour I wanted to buy it but the dealership was closed. I did pay $16k for it but they included a 2 year warranty in the price. Not to be a butthead but my whole life pretty much I've heard bad stuff about American cars but when I talk to an owner of one they love it. That's why I'd payed for the warranty. Already looking at intakes and exhaust, probably can't do a lift because it barely clears the carport and I hate parking cars in the street ha ha!
