You can get anytruck for cheaper, It all depends on how hard you want to look.

With that said,

If you have a loan secured or just have the cash.

Print the ebay add out, Print out the NADA, Goto a dealership, Tell them You want THIS setup, Tell them You want a Lifetime Powertrain and tell them you can drive it off the lot today if they are willing to give you a DAMN good deal (Don't give a price, Let them come up with the first price), If they offer anything above 16K, Say thanks, I can get it for less elsewhere, Start to walk away. If they ask a price tell them what you have in mind.

If they offer 16K w/ warranty, I say take it. After that, Take pictures and brag about your deal to the rest of us. I also think that if I had been better prepared I could have gotten a better deal for my own setup, But what can I say I was taken by surprise by a truck that had everything I wanted in a truck combined with warranty and a very pushy salesguy from a stealership with a good rep.

I think 13K to 14K is little low for an 07 4x4 with that package, But then demand in my area seems to be a little higher than most.

I think if you could get the truck at 15k-16k out the door, that would be good. Keep in mind, it is an 07... screw it, throw in tow mirrors and youve got yourself a deal...

Let me clarify... I'm set on buying "a" 1500 4x4 w/ 5.7 Hemi - not necessarilly the one in the link - otherwise I wouldn't be asking for opinions.

BTW... Thanks for all the feedback. The ebay listing is a BuyItNow or Best Offer. So based on all your feedback, I may just shoot him a nice low price. We'll see what happens.

What's the best place to look for a truck like this on-line?

thats way too high, seeing that you couldve gotten an 08 for around 20k with NO miles. make sure you get a warranty on it too and dont buy it without looking at it or driving it. its a sweet truck but over priced, talk those ****ers down.

So how's that price for your area? I'm searching all over on-line and the price doesn't seem that bad. I thinking if I could get it for 16,500 - 17k, that would be a fair deal?

I don't doubt you, but where do I find such a deal as that?
