I am looking into buying a 2011 Ram 1500 with 32,000 miles. Kicker is its a New York/New Jersey truck (possible rust) and it has been in 3 accidents. Carfax and AutoCheck show the three accidents with rear damage but they dont state value or anything else. I wish I was able to know exactly what happened but such is life. I am going to give it a good luck tomorrow and hopefully it isnt in bad shape but you never know.

 

If its been in 3 accidents id just stay away....

 

That's why it only has 32000 miles on it has been in the body shop more than in service , I'd pass on this deal if I were you.

 

How much money is it?

Is the cost of purchase low enough to offset the inconvenience of; time out of service for repairs, and new part monies spent? If so then go for.

If you expect it to look and drive like new..then move on. A truck with rusted body panels would be a red-flag for me. A crashed truck will likely show the obviousness of repairs, another red-flag.
