Buy a Ram with $90K on it?
I wouldn't buy it....$15k+ taxes (without warranty) for a truck that'll be over 100k before you know it? No way in hell...look at the one with 37k on it and still talk them down. If you can't negotiate get someone in there that can...if they won't deal in this economic environment than go somewhere else.
K is the prefix kilo which means 1000(units) so 90k to everyone south of canada it means 90,000 miles, I am somewhat confused myself why there is a dollar sign in front of that? 
I think that is a little high for that many miles keep looking for a lower mileage truck or get them down closer to $12-13,000 on that one.

I'd go with the lower mileage for $2k more if you had to make a decision on the 2. Forget about what they are worth. Everyone has their own idea. So, if it's within your budget and you like the truck, I'd go with the 37kmi turck over the 90kmi one any day of the week. It's a no brainer. Especially if the 90kmi doesn't have maintenance reciepts or neither for that matter as the 37kmi one is Just due for the first round of service. I wouldn't buy either unless they service the transmission(flush) and the differentials. They are all DUE. Including the spark plugs. Don't let a Dealer sell you a truck that hasn't been properly serviced as they loose money on fluids so they will not do them just because of that.

definately too high...i got my 04 qc hemi slt with 62k miles on it for $10,800 after title and tax. my buddy got his 06 regular cab 4.7l slt with 500 miles only on it for $13k. that is too much for a truck with that many miles.
I know good deals are to be found. I traded my 96 mustang gt straight up for an 03 hemi 1500 with 133,000 miles on it. The guy travelled for the coal mines and went from state to state with it. Only downside was that the rearend had to be rebuilt. It looked like an old mans truck with a toolbox in back and chrome rocker panels, but after removing that stuff and adding some tires, lights and some wax its a solid running ram. Mileage doesn't dictate dependability, so I'd beware spending too much. You never know what problems will show up. Changing drivers seems to be a downfall on vehicles. Upkeep is the key!!!!!!!
Because, most people who know they will trade something in will slide on the maintenance part to save a couple of bucks. The when the new guy buys that car say from the dealer, they expect all the services to already have been done. Most of the time, the dealer will not ever change fluids unless you are specific when making the deal out and then they will "hold out" a portion to cover those expenses. Changing engine oil and just making sure the other fluids are topped off is the only thing they do.

All other things being equal, if I was you I would pass on the truck with 90k miles. Like Dog said, in no time at all you will have a truck that is over the 100k mile mark. Pay the extra $2k and get the truck with 37k.
