i have been looking at a 98 SS/t for about a month now its at a used car dealer and dont really wanna go and deal with them but i have seen it sitting there for about 4-5 months dont know how long it has been there before then. just wondering if it was worth going and haggling em for it. i might wait a month or 2 more to see if it goes. it has 97,000 on it which aint bad other than that stock

 

what are you waiting for? the longer it sits the more likely your going to have to have something fixed on it because its not being used.

 

thats true. just was wondering if these are decent trucks or not i plan to do alot of performance mods on her and was wondering if this is a good model to start with or look around for a regular ram. they are asking 6900 for her and i dont know if that is a reasonable price with 97k miles on her

 

a little high...

if your gonna make it fast try and find a Reg cab/short bed with a v8, pull the motor and then do your stuff.

 

+1............... also make it a 5-speed manu while your at it.....

 

alright thanks i am headed down there gonna offer what bluebook is around 5K might take it since its cash i dont know we will see. but i dont think i really wanna go higher. kinda hard to find motors here in hawaii if thats what you were suggesting by pulling the motor.

 

o ok i see!

well... is it a stick shift? i wouldn't buy it if it wasn't. that stock auto tranny won't hold much. the NV4500 on the other hand is pretty damn powerful.

 

no it is auto.

 

well i got my 98 ram with the 318, and nv4500 trans, sport. i got it for 6500. so i guess i paid alittle to much. but i i would try to go for it. if your doing proformance mods to it. just pull the motor thats in it. do what you want to it and put it back in. well just let us know ho wya made out and if they get it to ya

 

well i went and talked with the used car dealer. he didnt really seem to know much about it. it was a trade in and he kept emphasizing how RARE! this truck was. i offered him what i thought was a good price 5500 which was about 500 more than what i went thinking i was gonna offer him. he didnt like what i offered him and went on this speach about me lowballing him. i then told him i had seen it there for the last 6 months and it prolly needed alot of work and i then turned around and walked out of his office as he was following me trying to say sorry. i gave him my # and told him to call me if he changed his mind. i guess we will wait and see huh?!
