Ok, I hate bringing this stuff up, but I am still on the truck hunt. I thought I had my hands on a 2009 Dodge Ram Sport 4x4 QC BUT since I am 18 I can't get financing in my name until I am 19. This is law in British Columbia. I could get it with my father co-signing but he doesnt want a 50 thousand dollar loan in his name. So we drove around town and found a 2002 Dodge Dakota Sport QC 4x4, with the 4.7L V8. It has 62,000km or 37903miles on it and is in near mint condition. SHe is asking $12,000CAD or $10,375.12USD.

 

not a bad deal at all. with those miles and if it is as mint as you say it is, plus in canada your gonna need that 4x4 i assume. show up with 9k CASH and drop it in her face and she'll take it and like it.

 

Well, she is kind of clueless. She said that it was her husband's but he passed away two years ago and doesn't know where to start on the cost. $12,000 is a great deal up here considering I paid $5000 for my 2002 intrepid with 180,000km and msot trucks go for about 20 grand if they are newer than 2001. I am in Northern Canada. So 4x4 is a must haha

 

sweet then go for it. oh, and if she's a hot widow, then maybe you take HER for a little 'test drive'

 

try 10 or so. see what they say. 12 is about right. pick it before someone else grabs it.

 

that's not a bad deal!...just go for it!...good luck!...

 

nice deal....

 

Hold on a second... she wants $10k US??? That's like WAY over book value.

I just paid $6,125.00 for my '02/4.7/5-speed/CD/LSD with 97,000 miles and in excellent condition. The Edmunds True Market Value in my area was $6,800.

But if you REALLY love the truck and intend to keep it for a long time there's an old adage in negotiations... "Any deal that is okay with the buyer and the seller is a good deal."

 

yea but the truck he is looking at has like 37000 miles on it, and probably an auto trans, both of which will add to the value of of the truck

 

Yea, you're right... a qc with that many miles should sell for 11k. My bad.
