Another 10 grand you get a new truck with a HEMI and pretty much loaded. Also if you are financing the difference between the rates on used cars and new cars might make you see you can get a new one for the same payment maybe less. Food for thought.

not a bad deal if it's 4x4, but you can get a brand new quad cab ST 4x4 4.7 NEW for about 23,500, compare that vs New

here trucks are expensive and a new one is $32,000 for about the same options

the used truck looks like a pretty basic Quad cab, not a crew cab... you can buy a $37,000 MSRP quad cab Big Horn HEMI in Pennsylvania for around $29,999 right now... I work at a Dodge dealership

That gray truck should be about $35,000 or so MSRP new for a basic SLT quad cab 4.7L... so $22k+ is still not a terrible deal but I would keep what you have and wait for a crazy deal on new

There ya go. That price for the truck you were getting is high. Besides a new truck has 0 miles and and extra 2 years warranty. Don't forget that finance rate too. You will pay more in the long run for that truck. I would offer them16500 then tell them you are working on a deal somewhere else for whatever you wanna pay, make it up in your mind be reasonable. Thats basically what I usually do just tell them well so and so will give it to me for this and throw in rust proofing and undercoating and even paint sealant . See those things are cheap and easy for them to give you. They even were willing to give you an extra year gold plan warranty. Works for me.
Basically tell them they are hosing you on that truck.

If Chrysler still has the 0% you automatically save about 5 to 6 thousand on your financing. I think that price is kinda high compared to a new vehicle. It might be worth the stretch to go new. See what the difference would be.
