Default My first truck

Hi all...

I am getting ready to graduate soon. I found this truck and am really interested in it.. I am scared to death about the miles on the truck. Would 208k miles be a concern.. I have always wanted a dodge truck.. The price is somthing i can afford... Here is the link please give me feed back so I dont make a mistake.. Thank youl.

You can find a way better truck for that money. Hopefully somethin with 50-75000 miles less.

I would shop around a little I picked my truck up for 7200 with 89000 miles and still kinda kick myself for not trying to get the price down on it. Oh well I fell in love with her!

you can find some nice trucks with low miles at dealerships. Grandpa trade-ins with less than 80K miles.

Check auto trader.

AND LOOK AT THE TRADE IN VALUE of the truck you are getting. 15% above trade in value is a fair offer for both parties (the hard part is determining the condition).

I got my 2001 two and a half years ago. 41K miles (yes forty one), still had the chrysler extended warranty (bumper to bumper through march 2011) and it was pristine with all service documentation. Got it for 10K.
