Do you think I'm asking too much for this truck?

Default Do you think I'm asking too much for this truck?

I've been trying to sell it for as little as 9k for some time now.

2006 Ram 1500 SLT
4.7L V8
Reg Cab Long Bed
RWD
Only 60K Miles
Power windows/locks, keyless entry, ac/heat, overhead display,

Maybe I am way off with the price. It is getting lots of traffic on the sites its on but no one replies. Its not a bad looking truck either.

Regular cab and rwd are probably detracting. Low miles are good though.

Someone here is trying to sell their '03 QC 4x4 5.7L with over 100K on it for $19,000. No, that's not a typo.

RC 2WD trucks just aren't in big demand. With that mileage, in very good to excellent shape that's about an $11k truck sitting on a dealership's used car side so for private sale you are in-line.

As far as $19k for an '03 QC Hemi 4x4 with over 100k miles, the guy's dreaming, my '04 QC Hemi 4x4 with 50k miles and over $13k in mods wouldn't fetch $13k from a dealer on a trade and I'd be lucky to get much more than $16k on a private sale...

It's been continuously advertised for a while now... possibly as long as I've been here, which is a year and a half, now. I think he's just got it up there (free online Craigslist-style listing) and seeing if any of the locals will bite. I imagine he'd take quite the cut, but I can't stop laughing when I read it. The only mods are a big front bumper like you have, and Line-X bed and lower body all around. But, "it's great for winter!"...

Yeah, I've made the conscious decision a couple of years ago to keep mine "forever". I always traded my trucks in every 4 years on average, but I usually did just a 3" body lift, bigger meats and some mild performance mods like exhaust and intake.
I went a "little" overboard on this one and knew I wouldn't get a hint out of it as I put in it. I guess my only saving grace is that aside from the gears and LSD I did all my labor myself.
So this time, instead of trading, I went and got myself a daily driver so the truck doesn't get more than about 7k miles a year on it...

That's one of the positives about being here with limited resources and Ram-specific commercial mechanic options. I'm learning to do a lot of things, myself. Starting small, with mostly bolt-on stuff. Working my way up to major surgery!
