Default Is this worth it? 01 2500 4X4

So dad's thinkin about gettin this truck, it's an 01 2500 QC, 360 auto, Comes with a Curtis plow. We stopped and looked it over today, it's in really good shape, except its got some rust on the rocker panels right up at the front. No rusty wheelwells or bumpers though! Got 108K (miles) on it, it came from New Hampshire so the gauges are in miles, not KMs. I dunno if they use salt on the roads down there or not, but it's in really good shape underneath. Motor sounds great, nice and quiet. We never took it for a drive yet though, so dunno how it drives or if it's got any leaky plenum issues. I did not find a deathflash sticker on it.

He's asking 8900 on the ad but dad got him down to 7900 w/plow before we left, but he doesn't care aboutt the plow. If he buys it with the plow, he's gonna sell it and get a V plow for it. The guy is willing to sell just the truck, dunno what the deal would be there yet though... I know dad can get him down more, but what is a reasonable price to pay?

if i were to buy an other ram it would be a 2500 looks like a nice truck. i wouldnt buy it with the plow and see how low he goes with just the truck ?

2500 have better axels and sus. and sometimes you can find em with a 5-speed

If the rust is minimal on he body and frame and the powertrain itself is running smooth with no problems and the interior is looking spiffy and clean I would offer $7700 top dollar.

05 Power Ram 2500, 5.9 Cummins Turbo Diesel! Might go check it out this week. Apparently it's in Prince Edward Island which is a few hours drive from here. If he goes that far to look at it, there's a good chance he'll drive it home lol.....

Maxx you like maroon and silver or something? You cant claim to be Purpl with that ****.

I'd buy that truck for $7900. But I wouldnt buy it unless it has a NV4500 behind that 360.
