Lowest Mile 2011 Ram In US?

[GsRAM]

Very nice and great find! Congrats !

 

[unxpctd]

I bet the dealer was drooling when that guy traded...as they knew they'd sell it right away!

Congrats on the find!

 

[BWL]

Nice find. My 2011 was my favorite truck to date.

I just took ownership of my father's 2013 Ram 1500 Express Mega Cab 4x4. I had tried to buy it from him for the past several years, but he just couldn't bring himself to sell it although he couldn't drive it anymore. We think he would be admitting too much that he was going too far downhill, if he sold the truck. So...he would loan it to me or my brother when we needed it and we always did his chores around the yard with his truck too. Recently he passed away and one of the first things mom told me is, "now you can buy dad's truck". Timing was a little off, but it was a way she could deal with his passing. And she knew that dad always wanted me to get that truck.

So...for $21,000 I now own a 2013 Ram 1500 that had 7,500 miles on it. I had put nearly half of those miles on it myself borrowing it for a hunting trip here, a family trip there etc. etc., had rotated the tires and taken it in and paid for its first and second oil change. Most of the other 4000 miles had been put on by my brother running errands for mom and dad and a family trip or two as well.

Not quite the same find as the OP, but I am sure pleased with my new truck. Especially the sentimental bits of reminding me of dad.

Hope you enjoy your new truck.

My condolences on the passing of your dad.
I bet he is smiling down from above knowing that his baby is still in the family and being owned by his other baby

What a great find!! That trans is just fine and you got a great truck for your efforts. I would post about that other dealer on yelp, trip advisor or any public site you can find. Dealers like that need to be put out of business! Congrats!

 

[tbird71]

Firehawk; Sorry abt your dad passing he'll be ridin with you now!

Trucknut; Thanks, each day goes by and I'm lovin it more and more. I had a 645RE in my 14 Express so it's not like I'm not used to the trannie. It must have been Providence, I was looking for an impossible deal all summer, then this once in a lifetime find comes up.

WHAT'S UNCANNY IS....If I was custom ordering a Ram dream truck, this Deep Ruby Red would have been the color of choice, Crew Cab 5'7" Box the model, Big Horn, console with buckets, and a 4x4. Then the wheel to wheel side steps and the Hard Ram Tonneau lockable cover the truck is EXACTLY what I wanted. And all that stupid computer market pricing crap cannot even BEGIN to put a fair value on something like this. At $21,900 I feel I stold it, I dont care WHAT year it is!
Got my first accessory on it. A front license plate

 

[anchorsaweigh]

Great find! Happiness truly is a new old truck.

 

[SkylarMelo]

Congrats on the truck, amazing find. I still love the original 4th gen front face of yours and my RAM.

Now something to keep in check, oil changes. My 2011 had the cam/lifters go at 120k kms. Not saying all are like me, but MANY with 2011s are, so please for my sake change your oil regularly, maybe with RP or anything that's recommended on this forum and cross your fingers!

Enjoy the truck, I've been spending money on bumpers and OE options to make mine look like yours, so it's nice to see! Cheers.

Hi Guys, I posted awhile back about buying that "nice" 2017 Laramie for $24,998.00
It DID look good (In Pictures) and everyone here liked it.

Well, one takes a big gamble buying a truck solely off pictures as I found out.

So I get back down to FL, drive over to the lot, and look at the truck.

THIS THING WAS A PIG

Had 3000 more miles than advertised, was FILTHY, drivers seat very worn, scratches
all over body, was rode hard and put up wet every night of it's life

TO TOP THAT OFF, instead of 6000 or so like we talked on phone this POS was NOW going to
cost me right at 10,000 difference and my 9000 mi 2014 express reg cab.
I PASSED IMMEDIATELY...(still working on getting my $500 deposit back, I disputed and pretty sure I will)

So I'm pissed...no crew cab for me...or so I thought

Thursday night I was looking at carfax and THIS pops up at a Ford dealer
2011 1500 Crew Cab Hemi Big Horn 4x4 with 14,200 actual 1 owner miles!

I thought, "yeah, right" after that last fiasco.

I get there, and there sat a basically brand new 2011 Big Horn!
They said some elderly guy bought it new and never drove it
Traded it in on a new Mustang Bullit

THIS TRUCK WAS GARAGE KEPT FROM DAY ONE!

Done in Deep Ruby Red Pearl Metallic, the paint is virtually new on this truck
Original Wrangler tires (feb 2011) still look new no rot no nothing
Underneath, still looks new as well, I could not believe it!
Has the premium cloth seats with console, all other Big Horn equip
He installed a Ram hard tonneau cover, and wheel to wheel side steps
Just a beauty, and EXACTLY what I was looking for with the exact equipment

Yeah, it's a 545RE 5 spd, and has the regular radio but still gets sirius xm and has an MP3
CD in case I want to hear my tunes (110-120 songs per CD)

IMO they had it priced too low for what it was (21,900) I think you throw the book away on this one.

$4900 and my reg cab later, I was driving it home!

Unbelievable find, I'm still looking at it to make sure it exists...LOL

So...I finally DID get the right Ram (for me) at the right price

What do you guys think?

Great find, tbird 71. Believe it or not, I bought my 2010 RAM 1500 Big Horn last year and like yours, it was/is in cherry condition...one-owner truck with 14,000 miles. The guy bought it new to tow his boat to a local lake, but right after the purchase, he was diagnosed with cancer and then only drove the truck when feeling good. I love my truck!!

 

[Mudders Beast]

Found my 2017 Laramie crew cab, one owner, 6700 miles. He traded for a 2500 after 7 months.

awesome-I bought my 2012 Bighorn with 30k on the odometer in 2015 for half price as new. It also came with 4yrs extended warranty which I didnt even need to use Yours is pretty much the same-love the color--I hope yours is as trouble free as mine has been!

 

[tomb]

Make sure you undercoat it if you live anywhere that they salt the roads--it will help you sleep at night!--and get a good tonneau cover too. I couldnt see from the pic if it had one.

 

[tomb]

oh yes you do have a tonneau--great deal on a low mileage Ram Bighorn!

 

[tomb]

Found my 2017 Laramie crew cab, one owner, 6700 miles. He traded for a 2500 after 7 months.

View attachment 184715

with 6700 miles on it you probably saved thousands and its still a new truck!! BRAVO!

 

[Firehawk54]

Finally took a few photos of my Ram. Love driving it and love keeping it shiny.
