1999 3500 Lamarie dually Advise
Hi Guys,
I found a dually in my budget. It's 1999 SLT Laramie V10 8L. Color white. Auto transmission, quad cab, cloth interior. 120K miles.
The good: excellent engine and good transmission.
The bad: the front fenders are damaged near the lower part and the cab corners are perforated. I got quoted between $4 and $5 gran for a repair. There are also four holes in the bed where was the mount for a fifth wheel hitch, that are rusted and have 6 inches diameter. The outside tires in the back are cracked on the side wall, so I would need to replace at least two and they are discontinued Michelin LTX.
The guy is asking $ 6500.
Is it worth it ?
Thanks,

Take into consideration the cost of repairs(either doing them yourself or elsewhere) then subtract that from the price. This in not something you want to use for a daily driver but if you tow a lot possibly. Don't know what dually prices are in your neck of the woods are but might want to look around for a better one.
