How bout' this one??

[Wheezy]

As some of you know, I am looking to get out of my Furd and back into a Cummins... I have been looking for a while, with no luck. I found this one the other day, and called on it. The sales manager said he would sell it for $29,950. What do you guys think?

On Edit: This truck has a build date of 6/04, does this make it an 04. 5 with the 600, or a 555? I would prefer a 555, since I already have some goodies for it.....

Call Tomeygun or someone at Dave Smith Motors.



They can get you into a brand new one for a similar price. You'd have to go and get it, but it would be worth the trip.



I would think you could pick that truck up for $27k or maybe a little less if you were there with check in hand.



If they have it listed at $31. 5k, you can bet they gave the person that traded it in $23k or so. With the way rebates and family discounts have been for the past few months, the dealers were able to steal trade-ins from customers.

JCleary... Thanks for the advice, and the recommendations... Those will come in handy if I decide on a new truck, but I am going to try and get a 305/555 before I seriously start looking into the new ones. I had great mileage and reliability with my 03, and would like to find another one... .

It seems a little high in price, but its a nice looking truck. My 2004. 5 w/11,000 miles on the clock books for 32,000 and its a loaded SLT.



Good luck!

26k tops. Cash in hand offer=sold. If not walk. The salesman will call in a day and say ok. Was in the car business for 13 years.

What is that in the Bed???? Kinda looks like it lines the walls of the bed.

Looks like he put on some cheap bed caps before the bedrails and Headache rack... . These would be the first items taken off if I get this truck

VIN check tells me its a "600" with a NV5600...

PS - shows a ring and pinion was replaced too,

Call me if you have any ?'s



EDIT - Funny thing too, It shows CA emmisions

 

[Wheezy]

Thanks for the VIN search TomeyGun, it is appreciated... . I guess I can go ahead and scratch that one off the list. My fiance wants me to find a new truck by this weekend, so we can get it out of the way, but it's hard to find a decent 03-04 with good mileage that hasn't been beat to death with a gooseneck.

If you are going to spend that much on a used one you can look around for some leftover 05s still on the lot and only pay a price similar to their original published asking price or less. That is what I would do If I was looking at spending that much.

Here is the next runner up..... More miles than I wanted, but it's a Cummins, so it shouldn't matter Should be considerably cheaper as well. What do you guys think?

I like the T-Handle shifter! I wonder if it comes with some extra hp?



According to the listing it's a SO. I would bet it's a LOT cheaper.

 

[Wheezy]

Most salesman don't know the difference between the two... . It is a 6 speed, so therfore would be a HO. I am waiting on a call to find out the pricing.

I would have to agree with all previous posts, to high. My 2004. 5 went of the Idaho dealers door for $32,700 (pre tax). That included several upgrade groups.

OneBucsFan - I have one that I will sell you for 32k firm... I have thousands in extras... I have a company truck now and would like to pay off the loan... Just moved to South Carolina from Washington...



2004 - 3500 QC-SRW 4x4, HO, NV 5600 Laramie... 16,000 miles on it!



You can go to my readers rig and check it out... I can send more photos. .

 

[Wheezy]

I think I have found it..... It's about 4 hours away, but should be worth the drive. It's a little more truck than I was looking for, but will do the job just the same. I figure I can probably deal down to about $26,500 or so.
