Default Looking at a New Truck

Hey there, new member here, I used to have a 2000 Dodge Dakota but had to give it up when my son was born. Now I'm looking to get a truck again, but a Ram this time. I'm going to go look at this 2005 1500 Hemi Sport 4x4 today. Anything specific I should look at or ask about? What kind of price should I be trying to get it for, it's listed at $21,8xx with 30,000 miles. Here's a link to the cars.com page.

nice looking truck.....my dad has the same year with about the same miles and it still seems like its new....
as for the price it seems about average for a truck like that....you could try to bring it down a little but at 21k its pretty good.....

Thanks for the reply, I haven't seen it in person yet, but I really like the look of the Hemi Sport from the pictures. I thought the price looked decent too, I'll of course haggle for less, I'd also like them to throw in a bed liner for it. Hope it looks as good in person.

Any other opinions?

Nice truck, i really like the hemi sports. You could try to get them down to 21 but i think if you ask for a bedliner they arent going to drop the price at all.

Well, I went and drove it after work tonight. It looks cool as hell, love the hemi sport package. The size of the Ram is really great, definitely feels more like a truck than my old Dakota. It drives well except it pulls slightly to the right when you let go of the wheel. I'm not really all that truck saavy but what do you guys think about that? I'll probably end up passing on it, I only started my search a week ago and have only driven one Ram, I'm not really in a hurry to buy.

could be something as simple as low tire pressure but you'd have to look more into it

I emailed the salesman, told him to have it looked at and to get back to me. It very well could be tire pressure, it didn't veer very much, just enough to be noticeable and make me question it.
