im looking to remove my 3 inch lift, you can have it if you come take it off

 

if only you didn't live so far away.

 

hometheaterman...wanna trade trucks? yours is awesome.

 

Nope but you can buy mine as I wouldn't mind selling it. Yours is nice though I just don't want another Dodge. Or I might would trade wheels. I think the wheels you have on yours look 100% better nowadays than the style I have. I just don't want to pay to put new wheels on something I'd kind of like to sell.

 

I can understand that. Just wondering...how much are you wanting to get out of your truck? I've been thinking of upgrading to an extended cab. I don't think I could get much for mine. It is almost 13 years old but at least it has under 85,000 miles still

 

Yeah mine has a lot more miles. Mine is a little under 124k miles. In the places I have it for sale I'm asking $9500 but willing to work on the price a little.

I know that's expensive for a Ram of that age but at the same time I've got a $3600 transmission in there from APS as well as quite a few other mods/upgrades. I've got some mods and some that are upgrades to fix the common problems these trucks have. Like the LSD in the rear has been changed to a Auburn, it has the APS pleneum kit, stuff like that.

 

Not to burst your bubble, but you'll never get that much for your truck. "Upgrades" don't raise the resale value unfortunately. Granted you put in a much better transmission than the stock one, but whether it is a $500 junkyard special or a $3600 custom one, it doesn't affect the price. In other words, a tranny is a tranny as long as it works. Now, if it didn't work at all, the price would be affected. I've seen lots of lifted and "souped" up vehicles for sale at such a price the owner is obviously trying to recoup the cost of those upgrades. And they stay for sale a very long time. I hope you keep your truck. You've done a lot of work to it and it looks great.

 

I have to agree with rammman18, i hope you keep your truck. It is probably one of the nicest 2nd gens i've seen. I think if i were to sell mine it would be in the 5500-6000 price range

 

Well, KBB is $8190. I realize mods don't help the value but when I've put 10k or so into it in the last 2 years in mods/repairs I don't want to just give that all away. I also figure if I'm asking $9500 people are really going to try to talk me down on it anyway. So I'm not expecting to get that. However, if I start it at $8500 someone is going to try and offer me $7500 which I wont take.

I'm not going to just give it away but at the same time I don't want nearly what I have put into it. If I can't sell it I'm just going to use it as a hunting truck or when I need to pull something. Basically just for when I need a truck. However, those times are fairly rare that's why I figure I don't really need it anymore.
