Good Deal?
I was going to be buying a 1997 3500 dually diesel. It has 240,000 miles with the five speed tranny, 4wd,towing package, sport no dents with a matching truck cap. Asking 11000. Deal yes or no how much is it worth.

KBB seems to be used both ways, people buying use it to drive the price down, people selling include all possible options to drive it up. I usually look at it but then go on cars.com and look up asking prices in my area, which give a decent idea about the offerings and what sells and not.

That was after two months of actively marketing it for $20 (+).
I can't see spending over 10 G's on something with a 250,000 miles.
Just my opinion.

A lot of what's on KBB is location dependent. But that price seems quite high. I only gave $12.5k for my '02 HO 6 speed with 134k on the clock. Then again, mine's a 2WD 2500.

I gave $9875 for my 1997 2500 with 181,000 miles and in need a few things and I think I got a good deal for my local market.
If that truck doesn't need anything, $11k would be a reasonable price in my neck of the woods.

It's also in Texas, where used truck prices are rather depressed compared to many other regions.

Yep. That's why on KBB.com you have to provide a location before they'll look up a value. Besides, almost everyone drives a truck in Texas.
