Looked at a few this weekend, none were as clean and all were priced in the 17K range. Maybe trucks are super popular in my area?

I dont know how that kind of price would even be possible. KBB supports the 17K, more importantly the guy was already offered $15500 from Carmax. As it is he would only make 500 more and have to deal with me vs walking out with a cashiers check from Carmax.

KBB is a little high IMO too. Edmunds is usually more typical of what actual sale prices are.
Keep in mind though. He can go get $15500 from Carmax, they will turn around and sell it on their lot for 20K. The lowest he is going to go is 16K, I would have to be a hell of a BS'er to get him to sell me his truck for less than he can go get for it in 30 minutes at Carmax.
The Chevy and Ford trucks sell for more anyway, not sure I could use that as a bargaining chip.

No offense or anything but I know 3 people with 02s and every one of those trucks is problem stricken. The 02 was released too early in my opinion they should've waited longer to work out the kinks and what not. It also is 11 years old too so that's a lil understandable to start wearing down.

Yea those 5.9's are gas guzzlers for sure. Btw I'm not saying all 5.9's are bad, they just tend to have the most problems out of all the 3rd gens, but they are also the oldest

Are there any common problems with the 02's I dont know about? Ive got an 02 qcsb 4x4 with the 4.7 and havent had a single problem that I havent caused, well with the exception of dodges crappy limited slip differential. Im never easy on the truck so a few problems are to be expected, but I keep up on the maintenance and shes holding together great.
