Hey guys so I am thinking about getting this truck.. I want to know if you think it is a good deal? also I am kinda worried about the paint peeling off the front bumper, I have seen it happen on some trucks like this one, but am curious if it was just a fluke or what..
Its an 03, 66k miles, 4x4, interior looks to be in good shape. for 13,500.. whatcha think? thanks guys

The paint peeling on the bumper could mean that it may have been in an accident at one time. Sometimes when they try to re paint a bumper it will peel. I'm not saying that it has but it may be worth checking into.

 

well this one hasnt peeled, and has a clean carfax, but I have seen it on others with the painted bumpers..

Just look at the underneath real good for anything that looks fixed or replaced. Also go to a site like kelly blue book to check the value. This will give you an idea of what it is worth. You can use your best judgement from there. Make sure it drives nice and is quiet within reason. Red

 

I have an '04 Laramie, with the painted front bumper, no signs of any peeling to date. The price seems OK, about average. If you could nudge the price down a grand or two you'd be about where I've seen the better deals on '03 4x4s with relatively low mileage.

 

Not a bad price, when you spoke of peeling paint I thought you meant that it was peeling. I have not had a problem with peeling paint nor have I seen many with this problem, if it has a clean record and you see no signs of abuse and it runs fine I think you will be fine. Check the oil, there are many threads that address oil issues and the engine being maintained properly with oil changes.

 

what kind of engine does it have?

 

4.7
