Yeah thats actually a real good deal. For once someone is not trying to get 5k more then what it is worth. If it checks out alright and everything looks good (which is should for 30 something thousand) take it. Good luck and we love pictures here so asap if you buy it.

so an update.. couldn't test drive the truck today because it has no plates. the lady ahs storage insurance on it. Fire Theft Vandalism, the works. She has had it since new. She also has had it serviced at the Dodge Dealership for every change. Even while it was sitting. She has every receipt for any work done to it since new. including things like Wiper Blades and fuel ups. It is in amazing shape except for a small dent where a stupid teenager hit her truck with a cart in the walmart parking lot. It ahs the tow package as well.

I would buy it. 12k is about right for that year. Millage wise ect... I would try and get it cheaper. Unless you really want a mid size, full size trucks go for around the same price maybe a couple grand more. for the same year with approx 100k.

Just things to keep in mind though those 4.7 and the condition i hear from the motor ect... sounds like it's in mint. Now, go through the fuel recites and find out if it was mostly town driven or highway. (Look at the dates on them and see if there were filled up only every so often or they did it a fair bit) Or just ask.

Try offering bellow. 10k like I said on the first page. Start it up, let it idle. Come to full temp. Check everything. See how it shifts. From slow to WOT.

but looks like a good deal and say for the ding you would like a deal off it

Haha thanks. and we did let her run for a while.. sounds beautiful haha. and it was a good mix of both driving. the oil changes were every 3 months rather than every 5000km. I am about 95% sure im gunna go for it. The only thing holding me back is it takes 2 weeks for me to get an appointment with a loan officer. Even though i make more than he does haha
