Well i need a "car" for college. maybe some of yall have some good ideas on what too drive but i would prefer a v8 car of choice... something that gets at least 17mpg. I thought about the charger r/t and maybe a mustang cobra. so maybe you guys have better ideas... thanks! also sad to say but my truck has to go and if anyone is looking for a clean, fast, and nice dodge ram just shoot some offers... Thanks again!

What's the main reason your getting rid of that truck? MPGs?

I personally have a huge passion for mustang cobras. It's always been my little dream to own my ram and an '03 Cobra Mustang. I just love those things, and the way those superchargers wine, ahh just gives me shivers down my back lol.

If you want more of a DD with racing on the side, go with the Charger R/T. If you want more of a race car with DD on the side, go with the Mustang.

Just my two cents.

If I can get my wife talked into an automatic/autostick rather than her stubbornly sticking to manuals, we'll look into getting an Avenger or Charger after she wears out her current Jeep. Nothing wrong with manuals, its just the cars that would be 99% perfect for her don't come in manuals.

LOL.

Its not a stick shift. I already talked her out of getting a stick once. She liked the Jeep so much (its a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 with the I6) she gave up the stick for it but now wants to see about going back. And now she wants to look at the Kia SUVs because they come in sticks and that was her very first car, a little Rio. [sm=smiley5.gif] God help me!

Mustang Mach 1, Cobra; just not a regular GT. Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am with the LS1, or a Camaro with the LS1. Those would be my pick. Eventually I am going to get one myself.

Please take this as constructive criticism and nothing more, but you've been told many times that your price is too high. You've posted in here trying to sell your truck before, you tried to sell on ebay and it should be obvious that... if no one was interested, your price is high. Lets get some more accurate figures in here now. For the blue book value, I find you to be just over 1500 off. you can verify here and enter the zip code 74502. I went off of good condition value because your dash... well, i wouldn't be able to live with that (color mismatch). You said yourself scratches and a dent in your paint etc... The paint job looks nice, but its almost the value of the truck itself. I know you have been wanting to get rid of it for a long time now, but... I don't see that happening till you come down to a reasonable cost for a 2WD

Link to ebay for more pictures / reference purposes




I wish you the best with your continued sale attempts.

- - - EDIT

I assume you were looking at the "suggested retail value" That is not what you get. Thats what the dealer will sell the truck for around. The trade in value is 2500. If your selling it on here, we are private property value. Just wanted to set that straight for ya.
