Where abouts & what dealership?

I'm in the Hammer... happy to assist if you need anything.
I also have a friend at dealer level that can do some VIN checks for anything hidden behind the scenes.

Having LL'd a truck, I'd say no. Bad memories. You KNOW you are buying a very problematic truck. IMO, the odds are not great it is all fixed up. If you do decide to get it, have them throw in a Mopar warranty for 100K miles and little or no deductible. I would not pay anywhere close to book for it either. Maybe 1/2 to 2/3 what a similar non-LL truck is worth.

A word of advice,don't believe anything a salesman tells you,he'll tell you anything to get you to buy the truck.

This. If it's not on official dealer paperwork, etc, it does not exist.

Yes but I went on the highway mainly and it was super windy that day. Couldn’t tell. I will take it out again now that I know About the weatherstripping and possible gap in the doors

sometimes the mirrors themselves will create noises like a leak. try folding them in
your original post comment is the most concerning "I did notice on one of my visits that there was some frost build up or small flakes around the drivers door jam inside the vehicle which I thought was weird. (I’m in Canada, yes it’s very cold)". And it occasionally gets to -20F here. Never seen frost inside a parked car. To do so would require humidity from somewhere which is strange unless the interior has been recently cleaned with a wet method

With that many service calls for the same issue, something is really wrong. Door could be slightly bent, which could be why seal won't work, which could let water in, which could explain moisture. I would pass on this.

Carfax doesn’t catch all the wrecks. Open each door and run your hand up and down all around the jambs. On the painted surface of the doors as well. They should all be equally smooth. Any roughness is paint overspray from a repair that hasn’t been disclosed.

Right....didn't catch the bent frame on my 2016 until I took it to Carmax for an offer to take to the dealer for trade in value. Dealer didn't catch it either even though it had been in their shop for a bent axle [result of the accident where the frame got bent].

You make a lot of sense about inside frost ! I am in Northern MAINE and get weather like you !
If I were him I would look for a water leak !
Third Brake light?
Vents ?
Somehow moisture got in the cab

early on I took my "19 laramie in for what I thought was a leaky door seal. had experienced a whistle coming from somewhere around the driver side door. they said all looked fine but replaced the door seal. as I looked back on the event, I got to thinking that the noise was probably caused by the strong crosswind that I was driving thru in Wyoming. probably created enough suction on the downwind side of the truck to pull the door/seals enough to make the whistle. never had any frost on the inside and made many ski trips with that truck.

Wind in Wyoming???? Can't be, LOL, one of the more miserable states to drive through IMO. I do recall coming out from the side of a mountain and damn near being blown across I-80 by a cross wind. Then there was the time I stopped in a rest area to try and get some sleep and the wind was blowing so hard it was rocking the flipping car not to mention the howling noise.

Your $$, your call. I would not be concerned
