WOW,
Talk about regional supply/demand driven prices!!
I bought my '94 3500 4X4, Auto, SLT Larime with 117,000 miles on it for $16,000. THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO!!!!
In this part of the country diesels (especially with miles on them) go for CHEAP!!
Check classifieds (online) in the Appleton Post Cresent, Milwaukee Journal (aka Milwaukee urnal) Green Bay Press Gazete and the Wisconsin State Journal (Madison). It may take a while but they are out there.
