Default 2004 Dodge Ram

I am looking at a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT HEMI. It has 85,000km and is in immaculate condition. They guy is asking $18,000 for it.
It has two sets of tires.
It has an AEM Brute Force Intake system as well. I was wondering what y'all thought about this truck? any opinion is accepted.

$18,000 for a 2004, with that many miles? Doesnt seem like a very good deal to me. I got my 2005 QC with 18,000mi for $17.5K almost 2 years ago.

Isn't Dodge doing like a free Hemi upgrade or something right now with the 2009's? I would check into something newer than an '04, especially at the price he is asking...

Yeah I think its a bit high also. Although 85k kilometers is about 52k+ miles. Thats about right in mileage for the year but too much for the price. Have you taken the time to get a KBB value on it? I think you will be surprised.

The average truck in my area has about 140,000km by the time it is 3 years old. My friend bought his 2004 Ram 1500 HemiSport with 60,000km for $25,000CDN or $20,210.33USD
This one is $18,000CDN or $14,547.15USD
It seems that the price hasnt been converted.
I also test drove the new Ram and I would personally choose the new F-150 over it due to my drives. I have driven every 2009 Half ton pick-up on the market and would pick the Tundra as my top. But, I want to buy used for now because I am buying a house next January.
With this truck, the guy is asking that I give $5,000CDN and take over 24 months of payments at $560.00CDN a month.
