If the truck is what you're looking for and you're willing to pay their price (or close), go for it. I ignored hundreds of trucks that were cheaper and closer to me to get this exact one.
You're the one that'll be driving it all the time. It might as well be exactly the truck you want. If it costs you a few hundred extra, do you care?

Taking all into cosideration, I don't know if I am seeing better deals. Following Edmunds, KBB, and NADA, all say the value of my certified used ram is 18K - 20K retail, This doesn't include the warranty. I paid 17K w/ including the lifetime powertrain,registration and taxes for a Re-certified 22K mile 4x4 QC SLT Bighorn hemi truck w/ tow.
However it kinda depresses me reading all this because it makes me wonder... If I hadn't been so happy to find a truck that had just about every detail I wanted in a truck and tired from work at the same time I went to the dealership, if I couldn't have held off for a few thousand and gotten it all for under 15K. I wonder if maybe the salesman didn't have his way with me. Oh Well, In a few years Ill have it paid off and won't even care anymore.
And yes I am seing Private party deals for a better price, Infact I saw an SRT the other day with 44K miles for 11K, I wanted to take that 10cyl for a spin sooo bad.

Pricing seems to be regional. 06's with 20k miles or so are advertised at 18-20k in my area. Actually it's very hard to find a 05-08 trucks for sale in my area. This is due to most owners being way upside down on the loans, and they are holding on to them.
