Congratulations on the sale Mr Page. The price you got for an 11 year old vehicle just confirms how well these trucks hold their value. I bet Ford and GM lovers wouldn't spend that much coin on a Duradud or power choke of the same age (and rightfully so!)
For a quick comparison, a co worker just flew to Texas to buy an 07 Chevy crew cab long bed 4wheel drive with the Duramax/Allison package. I forget the exact mileage, but it was a hair over 200k miles and he gave $16K for it. I don't even know what they are valued at, but you have to factor in air fare plus the cost to drive it 1800+ miles home, plus hotels and food. They simply don't hold their value like the Ram CTD do.
