2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Need to find a truck

[dbryant]

Fellow TDR members, Please Help.



I live in NE Ohio and

I've been on the prowl for a 99 through 2001 2500 QC 4X4 for about 8 months. Every time I think I find one, there is something wrong.



The truck I'm looking for needs to be manual shift. Preferably less than 50K on the Odometer.



What do you guys think I should expect to pay for the truck I just described.



Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

Don

99 Ram pricing

Pricing is like opinions - Everyone has a different idea.



Soooooo - Here's mine:



I sold my 99 Ram 2500 4x4, Q-Cab, CTD, 5sp, SLT, Tow/Camper pack, HD T-case, tow mirrors, 2-tone paint and infinity CD last year (late Summer/early Fall) with 32,351 miles for $24,500 USD.

Add-On's included front receiver, upgrade rear receiver, full length running doors, commercial tools box, brake controller, mud flaps, 275 RV injectors, boost module and husky floor liners. The shop manual and a few extra filters also went in the deal.



It was very clean and still took about year to sell.



That spec truck goes for 15-30 around here depending on the variables like mileage, condition, private party or dealer.



Also - 50,000 miles would be low mileage for a 5 year old truck.



JMHO



Happy Shopping

Theres a 2001 5-speed In the classifieds for $23,450 I think. The guy is in New Hampshire if you're willing to travel.

There looks to be a clean (from a distance) 99 SWB 4x4 5spd at a dealer here in Columbus. If you want I can swing by and look at it and get ya a number for the dealer. I think they want ~20K...

Sweet Deal on a 2001

There's a real nice 2001 Dodge, 4x4, Long Bed, Quad Cab, 6 speed, H. O. 24-Valve, Spray in bed liner, just sitting on the local dealers lot for a low asking price of $29,950 "Genes' Chrysler" 907-458-3400 or 907-452-7117 ask for "Lee", I'm sure they could cut a sweet deal, it only has 13,500 miles on it. :--)

I really admire your patience in finding a truck. The time from me deciding I was going to buy a new truck and driving home mine was 3 days. I have always had a problem with being a compulsive buyer, heck this last 4th of July I bought another dirt bike that I took riding once. It's not like I have money, believe me I don't, it just seems that when I want something I go and get it. So, basically I have no advice in this situation since I've never been that patient, oh wait, I do have some advice, just go order what you want you won't regret it.



Broke but Happy,

Matt

Try Vin Devers Dodge in Sylvania Ohio {419}885-5111 Email or call them I dealt with them a couple years back and they were pretty helpful Then they had a guy working for them named Bob Lutz He went to all of the chrysler auctions from the try state area [OH,MI,IN. }including the Chrysler executive one in Auburn Hills. He told me he could find me anything I wanted,given the time. But I found one before he did,and lost touch with him. I dealt mostly with Sandy Montgomery. She is the one who knows how to get a hold of Bob as he is on the road constantly. Hope this helps and hope they still work there. Good Luck!

Sorry, That one's sold.



Good friend of mine was on the prowl for a CTD when we found that one.

I'm driving him up tomorrow to pick it up. Oo.

He' thrilled.



Now we have 5 CTD's in our Fire Dept Parking lot. They were all Phords when I first came to the Dept.

How times change.

Truck

If you are going to finance the truck you should seriously consider a new one. If you will figure the finance charges on a used truck verses all the perks they are now giving and the lower interest rates for new truck you will be surprised. bg
