Hey guys
First off I want to say I’m new to the boards so take it easy on me. I have a question for you all, I'm in the process of getting a truck. I found this one around my house and wanted to know what you all thought of it. It is a 1997 Ram 2500 (3/4 ton), v8, white extended cab, dual exhaust (I think there aftermarket), 70 some thousand miles (no more than 75thousand) and the rest of the features you can see in the pictures included. The only thing that worries/concerns its a R-TITLE, he said it was wrecked or totaled cant remember what he said, but he said he had a new frame put on and it runs like a champ. It looks really nice and I like it. I'm just concerned with the title. He also wants around 6thousand for the truck. What do you all think? Is it a keeper or not. Its either between this truck which I really like or a 95 Dakota 5spd 4cyc and I’m not to fond on that because of the body style and the fact its a 4banger. Thanks for any input and sorry for the spelling/grammar its not one of my best qualities .

Thanks
Rich

See if you can do a carfax on it. That will tell you the exact history.

 

Thanks, but do you think it is worth it? Especially the price? Should i be worried that it was totaled?

 

Carfax will not tell all, it'll only tell what made it to the databases it checks. I'd pass on it if it were me. I've had salvaged cars before and they're never quite right, but that could just be the ones I've come across... Plus I think he's asking too much...

 

I think Steve00 is right on this one.
