Cool Low Price?
The Dodge Dealer has a gold 2008 Ram 1500 QC SB 4.7 with 43K miles on it listed for $15,899. From what I see on Edmonds it sells from dealer around 20K. How could they sell what looks to be a near perfect truck so cheaply?

Because in todays economy they know if they list it at book price it will sit on the lot till 2012. People dont buy our trucks unless they are avid truck owners or need them for work.

Typical everyday person wouldnt even touch it with the gas prices the way they are.

Because nobody wants to buy a used Dodge truck. Dodges have horrible resale.

Being a 4.7 doesn't help too much either.

Thanks.
It's first time checking out prices on the lot in a few years, makes me want to buy one. Having never purchased from a dealer I felt their prices would be much higher than Edmonds' estimates. Was shocked seeing a sweet Gold '08 QC with 40,660 miles at 15K, thinking they would go even lower once serious bargaining started.

It is a V8, are you saying it feels weak, low on power when driving?
