Well, time to change it up.

[LilRamMan]

that was a bust... called the guy again and as soon as he picked up he said "thats not my ad" soooo on we go.

 

[RompinRam]

Yeah I checked the ad and it says flagged for removal. Guess it was a bust. Sorry man. Keep your eye out!

 

[wermbang]

[LilRamMan]

Thanks Werm

I think I found one!! 95 Dodge Ram Pickup Extended Cab

Its got 190xxx on it which is a bit more than I wanted to buy, but I can deal.
papers for the rebuilt trans 2 years ago, 318, 2wd, and the interior is really not bad at all. a tear in the seat that will be covered.
I sorta played the sob story of oh I'm only 16 so I dont have a lot of money (which is true lol) and she said just for me she would do $2,000 cause she has a 16 year old son and thinks its so great that I'm saving my money. I'll tell more when I know!

 

[LilRamMan]

Oh and its Red, my top choice!

 

[PinkCamoDodge]

Looks GOOD! Let us know how it goes after the test drive! Man that's a cute lil' Frenchie pup in that one pic, LOL

 

[loki223]

yeah looks pretty good. only downside i see is 2x4, than again i am off the road more often that on it, so i'm not a fan of 2x4s. lol.

 

[LilRamMan]

Yea Loki I wanted a 4x4, but I really dont have a use for one at the moment. plus thatd extra $$$ I dont have. I'm checking this one out tmorrow.

I would personally hold off, thats just going to be a money pit with those miles in my opinion. If your buying used shoot for the 120-130k range.

But if you really like the truck then I say go for it. ( I cant stand to have a truck that isnt a 4x4, I may as well get a car )

 

[loki223]

Yeah, 4x4 or bust man. Widen your search area to places within an hour or two drive. hell a 4 hour drive for a nice truck and several hundred less than what your willing to pay for is worth the drive. and you can usually talk 'em down even more if you add in the sob story about driving for 4 hours, than act disappointed and point out things they didn't mention and make a big deal out of little things. there are always ways to get people down, but you also need to be able to figure out what their lowest price is and how they are with negotiating before you even start talking prices. its a skill that i am glad i learned

It's clean... and a 2500 4X4 , but just know that if it's a 5.9 Magnum it's going to get like 10 mpg...

 

[Needaram]

Wow prices are wayyyy different down there

As in lower I assume?

 

[the codes]

well that also had a lot of miles for a gasser, but alot of people dont know how tough the magnums are haha id be prepared to do some engine work though on any magnum you snag, and have a little money set aside. most people dont know or care enough to take care of the plenum prob, and that can **** all kinds of **** up.

 

[LilRamMan]

haha I'm actually not too bothered by the mileage. I know that all trucks are different and it depends on the maintenence, but I'm just glad its not 240xxx like my last truck.
