Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I bought a 2001 Ram 3500 SLT Quad Cab HO/6 speed limited slip 2wd new in June 2001. I put 325,000 miles on it and sold it to my son-in-law and daughter in early 2006 when I bought a 2006.
It was used for about a year as a work truck by one of my s-i-l's job superintendents and has mostly sat around for the last four years. My daughter has used it on weekends occasionally to haul something with it and my sil has towed trailers with it a few times. The odometer shows approximately 355,000 which is accurate miles.
My son-in-law wants to sell it and my daughter says she is willing to let it go. She asked me what it is worth. I don't know how to value it.
The truck is white, clean, has good Michelin tires, and is in overall good shape. I always serviced it every 10k miles with Rotella and Fleetguard filters from Genos. It has a Jacobs exhaust brake, gauges, and a mechanical fast idle box. My mechanic buddy and I misdiagnosed an off idle stumble years ago when it had about 100k miles and we replaced the VP-44 with a Cummins reman. I replaced the Jacobs brake that was sticking shut once at about 250k miles. I had the transmission rebuilt by Standard in Fort Worth at 305k miles and a new clutch was installed then. It has a Mag Hytec differential cover. Interior is still in excellent shape but I think the leftside, outer edge of the driver's seat fabric is frayed. The electric window lifts and door locks still work fine.
I wouldn't be afraid to put it to work pulling trailers.
What is it worth? Anyone know what its actual cash value is?
