Isn't there some reliability issues with the 2007s?

2007 could be either the 5.9 or the 6.7, it just depends on the build date. A carfax report should tell you what it is, as should the seller. To be honest, the price seems kind of high. I am selling my 04 with 44k miles on it, laramie package and many other extrasfor $29,500 and that's about going rate around MN. If you're interested in what mine all has on it for comparison, just let me know. But either way, if it were in this neck of the woods, I wouldn't pay over $28,000, maybe $29000 for it.

Most of the 07 6.7's have alot of bugs. My 08 hasnt had any problems yet.

If your looking to spend that much on a truck, just buy one BRAND NEW. You can get a new 07' or 08' for $32k. I wouldn't pay that for a used one. I bought mine brand new with 7 miles on it for $32k last July.

Looking at the engine pic it is a 5.9, it doesn't have the cowling that the 6.7 does.

no exhaust break button either...5.9

31.5 for a STOCK truck...seems a bit high...at least for here.

Something to think about, New truck % rates are alot better than used. Most of the time even lower monthly payments

Price this on Kelly Blue Book (trade in value) and figure the dealer didn't pay a penny more than that. Negotiate from there.
