that 5.9 is a stout motor. has some great potential for power and long life. just dont expect to get anything close to decent gas mileage. i got my truck with around 50k miles on it, lot was asking $14,999. and thats for a 2500. good thing i know the owner of the lot. got it for 8 grand out the door.

heres a link if you all want to look and give opinions. it has had 3 owners but the first bought it brand new and had it for 6 years and only put 30,000 miles on it weird right. then a lot bought it, then another person bought it from them and drove it for like a year and traded it in on a hhr for my room. atleast thats what the dealer said about the carfax over the phone.

Not a bad looking truck at all. You could probably squeeze them down a little on the price. The nice thing about the 5.9 is that you can pull a lot of power out of it with the right mods.

yea i was going to call them and ask them but I just havent decided what im going to do yet. I have an 03 lincoln ls that im trading in and dads not really happy about trading an 03 for an 03 and still having a $5000 loan. hed kinda like me to get into a 05 or so but you cant get a 4x4 with low miles with that for 11 or 12. im looking for truck around 11 all said and done out the door. what you think i should be looking for. once again i dont really care about motor because i dont tow and dont care about quad cab because quad cabs are big trucks to drive around to college and stuff, I just want 4x4 and good miles atleast under 90,000.
