i would say any were between 20-23k... just depending on where you are located and where you will be listing it.

Is this one of those rare 6 speed trucks with the SO engine?

 

[Sticks]

Combination of market value and book. Market value is the primary. Look through your local newspapers (or closest major newspaper) to see what they are selling for. Check out a few dealers for the same truck as yours to see what they are asking, then whack off about $2500. This should give you a good idea where to base yours at.

Ken, yes it is a 6 speed SO.

OK . . . I will bite. What is a SO engine and what is special about this with the 6 speed



Thanks in advance

"SO" stands for standard output, "HO" stands for high output.



I would say that it's worth 19,500-21,500.

 

[klenger]

If my information is correct, Dodge introduced the 6 speed in late 2000 with the standard output engine. There were not very many of them made. In 2001 and after, the 6 speed is/was only available with the high output engine. The 2000 version of the 6 speed has a smaller input shaft to mate to the SO engine. I would think that this version of the transmission would be worth big bucks as salvage because it could be easily installed in trucks with the 5 speeds in them. (Not worth parting out the 2000 to do it though).

i have never really understood why people will pay so much more for a truck on a used car dealer lot then they will pay for from a regular everyday person trying to sell his truck... atleast he/she knows some history about it and is not trying to make a living off it!



people are pretty dumb sometimes... and why should there be 2 different book values??one from a dealer and one as a private party??how is that??!!!:-{}

Klenger is right except the 6 speeds came out in late 99. I have heard there were only 1500 or so 99's made with the 6 speed. And being as 2000 was a short production year, its probably safe to say there were only a few SO 6speeds.
