forgot to state that for the 2000 model year
it is highly likely that
your Ram's Dashboard plastic will probably crack soon
due to sunlight on the poor quality plastic blend,
which is about a $500 repair
(do search)

Use this plus the odds of plenum gasket repair cost ($400)
to bargain the price down with the current owner

I'm going to get it today. One + is they are giving a 5yr 100k warranty on drivetrain. So I can't really use the plenum since they'll fix it if it goes or is gone already. The interior is really mint. No cracks/fading at all. The big bargaining point I have is it needs tires bad. All 4 are almost bald. So I can probably get at least $400 off for that.
