Default Buy a Ram with 90K on it?

There is this quad cab, 4x4 06 Ram with the Hemi going for $15K. What gives me pause is the mileage. 90K. What should I watch for? There is an 06 with 37K but for $2K more.

Im coming up on 90k, and she seems to be holding together. but $15k seems a little high for that mileage. Everyone on here says the dealers are giving new ones away... but no one has given me one yet...

I wish there was $90K on it and he would sell it to me for $15K! Anyway, dealers don't deal much on used ones. At least I haven't been able to. Couple of hundred dollars. Private party sellers are very few, except for clunkers. As for steals on new ones, don't you believe it. There might have been one but not now.

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.

Just got the wife a used 2005 Cadillac CTS luxury sport with 41K on it (nice car). Dealer wanted $16995 for it but when I started to walk out the door after test driving 4 cars and wasting 2 hours of there time they dropped 2k off the price without even a blink. Show a lot of interest and spend some time in there and then start questioning the purchase and then start to walk. They will deal in this economy.

Why do you keep saying $90k? That means $90,000 dollars. 90kmi is 90,000miles.
90k is 90kilometers or something. Are you from Canada?
