haha I think they look like a toaster. But definately good on gas. Average black book wholesale on the vehicle including the deduct for miles is 8,125. So i'd say if you get it for 8 you would be in good shape!

 

Yeah, I know what he's trying to do. My point is this: anytime NOT spent driving the Ram is a major downgrade. Wouldn't everyone agree on that? And yes, I know not everyone can afford to use them daily anymore. I'm really glad I don't have a diesel now because it's up to 4.40 now. For me though, I just can't bring myself to drive anything else. The only car I would ever consider driving is a BMW M3. Anything else and I would have to wear a disguise while in it. Best of luck Mayfair!

 

Mayfair, that thing is BUTT ugly! I would rather walk than drive that. However beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Bottom line if you like it and it checks out ok with a mech, go for it. I would look at a vw jetta or the like if I were hunting fuel economy. Jut my $0.02 worth.

 

I'm with ya and will go a step further and say that it looks like shoe box.

To save fuel, I can understand making consestions where ever possible. I'm still considering a Yota Rav4 for my daughter later this year. ( I'll probably use it myself from time to time)

 

LMAO !!! You guy's crack me up !!

I'm glad that not too many people like them. I think that's why they're kinda under valued. Me, I think they're BADD AZZ !! Chop it, put a body kit one it with some custom paint, and I'd be ROLLIN baby !!



I'm not looking to dump my Ram at all ... EVER ... I'd be picking this up solely as a daily driver. I'm trying to be realistic here, and I honestly think that in "Reality Land" diesel is just going to continue to go UP in price, and not down, and therefore since I can't get away from driving 400 miles a week, I'm going to need someting more economical to drive. I already have a bike .... TWO actually that I love to ride, however once again in Reality Land, I can't ride them in the rain, snow, ect, and besides that for my side jobs I need to carry stuff that I can't fit on a bike. I sounds like almost ALL of you already have something else to drive that gets better mileage and is less expensive to drive than your Rams and you're already driving them. I don't have that secondary car yet, so that's why I was looking for one.

I'm going to go look at it right now. Thanks Ram It for checking with your friend for me about the reliability thing. I really appreciate it. That's kinda what I was hopeing to hear.

Now, for you HATERS out there, check these out ...











YEAH YEAH YEAH ...



This one I think is BADD *** !!!

 

Chop it, and paint it all flatt black, with flat black 18's or 20's. 5 thknk it would be sweet, especially for the price.

Personally i am with a couple other people on here, and am looking for a tdi jetta for mileage.

 

$8000 would buy a lot of fuel. I know most everyone wants to save money on fuel, but to me there isn't a justification if you spend $8000 to save $300/month in fuel. It would take a long time to make that back and break even. Now, find something for 1-2 grand, maybe. Are there other reasonsyour purchasing a daily driver other than fuel costs?

On another note, the TDI's are worth gold around these parts. I've been looking for a while just to see if I can find one and trade in my truck at the same time. I just found one today, 2000, 5 speed, 98k on the clock, $9999. And that's a little less than going rate around here too. My mom and dad sold their 02 last year with 90K on the clock for $13,500. Crazy what they are going for.

Good luck

 

just my .02, go with a buick park ave or a pontiac bonneville, they're cheap, they have the 3800 and 440t4 tranny combo, it's not unusual to see them with north of 250k on the clock, they just run forever and get upwards of 28-30 mpg on the hi-way. You can pick either of them up in the 98-2000 year range with 120k on them for 2k in these parts.

I too personally think the scion is among the least attractive vehicles on the road, it ranks up there with the element, the pontiac aztec, and the pacer/gremlin. It looks like a brick. I'm still driving my Ram cuz it gets the best mileage of anything I own. (Tahoe is lucky to break 13, and my old trans am with a t/a400 and 400 tranny is lucky to get 10)

 

Hell yeah! That reminds me of the old panel vans

 

Oh dude. Don't waste your money of a *** Wagon. I can think of a better cooler way to spend 9 grand. 2 words, Harley and Davidson. You can get a brand new base model Sportster 883 for $6,695. Hell, a Sportster XL1200R starts at $8,895. The 883 is the cheapest Sportster, and the XL1200R is the most expensive. The 883 fuel mileage is 45 city and 60 highway. Think about what you are about to do. Now wouldnt you rather be seen on a Harley than a *** Wagon? Cheaper, brand new, and its a Harley.
