should I buy this

[drdon51]

hi I'm new to this forum, I don't know much about diesels that's why I'm asking my neighbors have a 1999 Dodge standard cab 2500 Cummins diesel with 35,000 miles on it they want 6500 or is it worth it. It looks pretty new as a camper shell on the paints a little faded on the camper shell and has a fogged up headlight on it but otherwise it looks brand new

Recently I've been looking at early diesels and from what I have found that is an excellent price. Are there any outstanding issues with the truck? What's the mileage?

 

[drdon51]

Truck has 35 thousand miles on it with auto and tow package cruise.ac.power windows and camper shell with running boards

Welcome. If that's what you want, do it.

The truck isn't even broke in with that mileage. I would jump on it. Where are you located? I think it would be great fun to cut the frame and put a short bed on it. It would make a sweet street sleeper. Go for it. And that's advice from someone older than you.... lol

I've always had a truck but I gave my last one to my niece thinking I wouldn't need one and that lasted for about a month U always need a truck. I just don't know much about diesels. I assume this is probably one of the 53 blocks.I just want this truck to last I only put on about 10000 miles a year oh yea I live in Indy

I'm pretty sure it would be a good investment. Before deciding look it up using KBB. That should seal the deal.

Ok thanks I'll figure out what kbb is and check it out .What the hell did we do for info before the web.I must Google 10 questions a.day.To bad they didn't have this when I was in school .I might have passed history the first two times. Alright kbb (kelly) says 6800 to 8000. Thanks

Haha I do the same thing. I was shopping with my daughter and she started scanning bar codes and giving me more information than I could use.

As nice as that truck looks the street value may be several thousands above KBB. The mileage is incredibly low for a 2g diesel.
