Default Is it worth it?

I am looking into buying an '07 Ram 1500. Lift and tires (35's Toyos) were just installed by dealer. They are asking 23k and I am not familiar with the newer trucks. The truck looks good and driving it seems to be very tight. Is this to much money for a truck like this?...Or what should be expected?

What problems have people been having with this particular truck?

Also what kind of mileage should I expect with a lift and 35's like this?

Thanks in advance.

Price $22,995
Mileage 14,300
Engine 8 Cylinder Gasoline 4 wheel drive
VIN 1D7HU18287J622486

Seems kind of high. You could probably buy almost the same truck and lift it for less than they are asking for that one.

were you going to put a lift and tires when you get a truck? if you are then i think this one is good bc its actually not that bad of a price but you could go down a little

Its a suspension lift (rear 3/4 pic) and depending on the lift make id say its not a bad price you could prolly talk them down to 21k if you worked at 'em....

I just did a quick search on my iPhone and found 6 2007's around me all priced at $16495 or less. You can get a 2007 much cheaper, I would either ngotiate them down or keep looking.

it looks pretty good i think you could talk them down to about 20k which is a good price i believe with a lift and tires already installed but 23k is pushing the envelope

Going rate for a low mileage '07 4x4 is about $17,500. A budget end (Fabtech or Procomp) suspension lift is around $1500, tires and wheels are gonna be around $1500 as well. So, if you get them down to right at $20k, you are getting a good deal.

However, I can't be sure, but I think I see a gap guard in that rear end pic, if it's a body lift instead of a suspension lift, knock at least another grand off their price...
