So I'm in the market for buying a Ram 1500 R/T or Sport, and i found a very clean 2014 RAM 1500 R/T with only 40,000 miles for $26,900 up in michigan and im down south in arizona, is there anything i should look out for in a R/T or common rust problems and any advice on buying these trucks is appreciated. (As side note i do not have time to fly out to michigan to go inspect the truck as i am very busy.)

Now that's different.... Someone from AZ buying a truck in MI? Usually, it's the other way around.

Truck looks good, but, I would be real tempted to see if you couldn't find someone to go look at it in person. We do use salt on the roads here, though, from the pics, it doesn't appear to have suffered too much from that.... (not driven in winter??) I don't know anyone up in that area, maybe someone else around here??

 

Well it is odd someone from a rust free state buying a truck from a rust belt state but there isn't many R/T trucks around here and if there is, it either sells real quick or asking way to much. The truck doesn't seem rusted at all has low miles and has every option, overall it looks like a clean truck. i know 2 people up in michigan but 1 doesn't know anything about cars/trucks and the other is way to busy with work and is probably on the other side of the state.

Sports are another option but again they're asking like 33, 32k and they don't have much options.

 

It's quite a distance from me as well, else I would go have a look.... Have you contacted the seller, see if they have some manner of inspection report? (if it's a dealer, they generally do a pretty thorough inspection on the high-dollar trade-ins.) Worst case, buy it, have it shipped, and if it has more problems than you want to deal with, flip it?

 

I haven't contacted the dealer yet but i will ask for a inspection report thanks for that tip, if all is well i would most likely buy it and have it shipped, Also i noticed something weird where on the dealer's website the video showcasing the truck has chrome headlights but the pictures have the blacked out headlights which i found odd.

I think that's just a trick of the photography..... I think.

 

Doesn't seem like it, hmm i'm going to ask to dealer about that also how is it with engine mods on the 5.7 hemi's can you push 500 hp with them on stock bottom end

 

Don't know how tolerant they are to mods.... but, look at some of the numbers the stock engine is putting down.... Realistically, if you didn't abuse it too much, probably eminently possible. Gonna be some work to get to those numbers though.

 

Dam i thought our truck prices were dam high in Canada till i seen this one,,,,, wow I paid 31,000.00 for my 2015 sport quad cab 3 years ago with 42,000 kms or about 26000 miles and its loaded with 4x4 to... was looking at original window sticker on that truck and looks like it was 36,400.00 new ,,, to me the price is very high,, but what do I know,, i am just some dumb *** guy living in Canada LOL
