Good morning or evening depending which timezone... I'm in Georgia. I got here by googling Ram forums. I have been driving by a 2013 Laramie Longhorn (limited?) for sale for almost 3 months now...
Its a beautiful truck and I would love to be its new home.... I have been burned so many times by purchasing used vehicles from private sellers.....3 times in the past 2 yrs now... It has every option I can see.... I don't know if it has the block heater.... I have not contacted the seller yet.... I am leery. It has 196,000 miles on it. Despite being clean, the interior shows every one of those miles. I am for more concerned with mechanical reliability at this point. more about the truck. 2013 Laramie Longhorn, full size 4 door, 6 ft(?) bed, 5.7, 4x4, tow, bed cover, sun/moon roof, leather, dial shifter, button option transfer case, step rails. Cpl minor scratches and scuffs, like I have to look for them... They are not obvious until you get two feet or closer. I have run the options list and the vin through kbb... they are asking $14k, and its worth it... but at this point its been there for 3 months and hasn't sold. The owner appears to have upgraded to a newer heavy duty clone of this truck...
What should I be wary of and/or expect to replace or repair if I buy this truck? I really cannot afford another lemon.... let alone a loss on a loan... Thanks anyone and everyone in advance.
