Mileage plays a role.

I purchased my White 4x4 Hemi Quad Cab with 20's etc, for 13.9k over a month ago.

It had 79k miles on the clock, and was driven only for a traveling salesman.

this was at a stealership even.

I feel bad for those of you that bought new

Be carefull when you go to the dealer and bring a copy of the KBB and NADA values with you. I had a dealer show me the KBB site (at the dealership) and they didn't add the Hemi option (about 1K less in value). When I mentioned it they said they made a mistake but never changed their price. I left them and will never go back.

Later,
Rough

Depreciation sucks, but it's reality. The giggle is when one conciders how much they would ask for the truck, in turn.

Just sold 94 Ram 2500...slt ....4x2....cummins, with only 352,613 miles on it for $4,500

Paid $31,500 for 06...2500....4x2....cummins....quad...luv the radio.

Had six calls on the 94 all wanting a 4x4.

The 06 has......> "POWER TO SPARE"

Cummins and a 4x4 is like owning a gold mine. and I own one

KBB lists my truck as being worth $32K which is about 6K less than what I payed for it back in 04

CTD, 4x4, 6spd, off road package, and all sorts of other goodies being just shy of the laramie edition[8D]

Depreciation killed us when my wife totalled her 04 Trailblazer last year. We got a hell of a deal also with the GM supplier discount and rebates. Insurance paid only 20,000, we still owed 22,000 and didn't have gap. Even with the discounts and rebates, we still coudn't get pay off on the totalled trailblazer. After we paid the additional $2,000 to GM we turned around and bought another GM (Envoy) but paid for the gap insurance this time!

I sold a 95 Ram 1500 Sport last year with 70,000 miles on it for close to $6,000. Owed nothing on it so that money went down on my 02 1500 that I have now. After I can no longer find any other mods to put on or get bored with this one, it will sell locally also and I'll probably look at another truck a few years old. I've always made a profit on my sells by going this route...

Carmax won't give you jack unless they want the car/truck. If your vehicle isn't in one of their desirable categories they'll lowball you to death to get one of two outcomes. 1. You'll leave 2. You'll sell it to them and they'll wholesale it for a decent profit.

for a diesel with that many miles, the engine is good and broken-in. if it is maintained it could easily go for another 350K

I know a guy that has a 99 f-450 TD 4x4 with 789k miles on it. It's hard to believe some1 could ride in a car that long. Just think of his gas bills over the years

If it had been a 4x4 would have gotten mo $$$$ Truck had been well cared for,inside for 10 of the last 12 years.
The ad broke on thursday and sold it on friday....phone still ringing.

Ford and chevy are pick-ups....Dodge is a "TRUCK"
