That lifted silver 4x2 is old news, it's just the one that got me interested in looking, besides, I've never come out against lifted 4x2's. Ask oefootball, I've defended them in threads AND nominated him for TOTM...
But the HUGE DIESEL ain't happening anyway. I can't see it budging off the used car lot. Dude wants $39,995 for it. Would come down to about $35,000 but swears he's got $36k in it (yea, right
, someone that does this for a living overpaying by $12k over KBB retail!). Tries to tell me that's because it's got $20k in mods, but at the same time is offering me $14k for my truck, which is about KBB wholesale, because MY mods aren't worth anything extra!
I don't know where he's getting $20k in mods anyway, I only see lift & tires. Engine compartment looks stock and so does the exhaust. This guy is trying to retire on this one sale. Plus he lied and told me it just came in Thursday and will be gone by the end of the weekend. I've already been told it's been there since at least May.
So I walked. Stopped at the Dodge dealer on the way home (had to pass right by the place) and shot the breeze with the GM (golf buddy). Even though I'd not get a 6.7, at least until they get the bugs worked out, I can get into a new '08 CTD 4x4 Dually which stickers for $47k for about $34k, of course if he discounts it that much he'd only be able to give me about $14-15k for my truck too. But that shows how out of line the corner shlylock dealer is on that lifted '05.
Unless I just happen to see a deal on a 5.9 diesel 4x4 that blows me away, I'll just stand pat. I got three different compliments on my truck just during my two stops this morning, and that kinda makes you feel good and satisfied with what you got - for a day or two anyway...
