My suggestion: Don't buy tomorrow, unless you get what you feel is a steal. At least go in feeling just as comfortable walking away as you do purchasing. Work them over, if they don't get low enough, tell them you'll sleep on it. Come back the next day with a few reasons you feel they should lower the price. It also helps to bring a mechanic friend if you've got one.

Just FYI : I got a console door straight from the dealer brand new for $28. Also - try to get an idea what other comparable trucks are selling for in your area. I mean private party sales because dealers generally want a higher price than a private party.

Price seems steep.

I wouldent pay that unless the truck is in PERFECT condition.

Make them an offer, if they don't accept it, walk out and tell them if they want to accept it call you. Worked for me. They called later that night and accepted my offer.

I picked up the 01 in my pic for 10k had 77k on it absolutely loaded leather pwr seat tow the whole bit with a warranty. I would go low. My dad always says if you dont feel embarassed by the offer it is too high. All they can do is say no.

I walked in, and I offered them $9,000. They hemmed and hawed and wouldn't go lower than $10,000. Then I found out that the t-case wasn't engaging the front wheels. They then offered to sell me an extended warranty. I decided I didn't want to buy it at that point. I left, and they called me back about two hours later and I didn't return the call. But that's ok, I just sold my truck to my father in law for payoff (I owed about $2K more than trade in value). I will wait a little longer and look again.
