Looks like there was some ghost bidding going on.

Did you get the vin number to be sure it wasn't totaled? Ton's of used vehicles are on the market on e-Bay that were flooded. There was a report on FOX about it.

Looks like a nice one!

Enjoy the six-shooter and remember - real trucks have 3 pedals.

That's what I mean. He's a paid bidder.

Sorry to tell you this Herb, I ran the VIN number and it came back as having a Lousiana salvage title.

Hi Herb,
That's one nice looking truck. It should easily fill your needs.

By the way, just because 1st is to the left, don't let it go to your head.

could be, i know i used to frequent a lot of horse carriage sales and learned to recognize buyers numbers from sale to sale.
Ran vehicle checks and checked KBB and i bought it for a little under suggested retail .

3400 miles of warranty left so it's over to my friendly Chrysler dealer for a complete going over. The mecanic there is my shadetree mecanic afterhours so he will "inspect it " as if it were his.
I have three vehicles he services at home that are no longer under warranty

my biggest hangup going to a dually is that you can't take em thru automatic car washes===and being black on top of that !!
i am a stickler for keeping my trucks clean===this is going to be a real headache

ps someone needs to go into the classifieds and buy the truck i listed on there so i have money for grocerys next week !!

The only thing missing from Geico's post was the offer to "Take it off your hands" for 1/2 of what you paid.
