2007 mega cab 1500, 5.7 hemi, 4x4, SLT, cloth interior, Basic sound system.

Its got 20,000 miles. A pretty go dent on the under side of the body on the passenger side. It my uncles truck so I can offer whatever.

Extras:
6" Fabtech or Procomp lift
20" Black wheels
Procomp 35x12.50r20 tires (both steer tires need to be replaced)
Amp research power step

What would you all expect to pay for this truck, Blue book says $20,000 but since of the economy and the need of big gas guzzlers I was thinking of offering $15000. I would ultimitaly want the same truck but with the cummins but this is the best I can find for now.

it would be a steal at 15k, but I would imagine it would be worth closer to 19k. economy or not trucks are still selling, and if you uncle tried very hard he could probably get 20k

look at kbb it will give you an estimate or go to carmax.com and do a trade in estimate its free and no obligations. that way you can get a fair idea but i guess that all depends on how much you like your uncle vice $$

I agree with SMKN. That truck would normally be above the average blue book because of the low miles and the extras installed. He probably could sell it for 18+ pretty easily.

Also the fact it's technically a 2500, raises the price. 20k seems on the low-mid end for it.

I paid a little shy of 18k for my 06 with 21k miles so i would think 19 -20 would be a logical price for that with all the extras and the low mileage..15 would be a steal.

yeah i would say you would be robbing him at $15. Especially with lift and tires and low mileage. But then there is the dent and the 2 front tires need replacing. u'r call buddy.

I made the offer of 18k. He is going to check his payoff on the truck but I hope it goes through. My plans however if everything works out is to put some nice 35x12.50r20 A/t tires like the open country or the terra grapplers. Limo tint. And for the dent in the quarter panels, i would have line X spray the bed along with the whole lower part of the doors and the bumpers. I have a 2000w system in my current truck that i would reinstall, debadge to take of the cheesy 1500 symbols haha. I hope it works out.

20k sounds about right. General consensus is what I was thinking too.
