Default Need some advice!

Hey guys,

Im new to the truck scene, im an irish guy living in Texas so I thought it was about time I got a Ram and got into the truck scene.

Im looking at a 99 single cab 4x4 v8 ram with 216'000 on the clock. Would I be insane buying this with the mileage??
Any feedback.help appreciated!

I think I might want to find a truck with lower miles if it were I.. but that's just me. Remember; anytime you buy used; your buying someone else's problem.

welcome to df.
find an 00 or 01 "off-road edition" which has a factory lift and 4.10 gears.
it'll be about $1000 more than the standard model.
you'll thank me later.

+1 if you can also get a sport model to. the grill is a little bit better looking than a standard pickup
