First dodge purchase

Decided to ditch the F350 and get 2 94-98 dodges.

how do these deals look. Seems like the price of fords went down and dodge went up.
$8500
1998.5 Dodge Ram 2500 extended cab long box.
5.9 liter 24valve cummins turbo diesel w/ automatic transmission, 203,000miles,
75% tread on 245/75R16 GoodYear Wrangler RT/S tires
4" MBRP side exit exhaust
Aftermarket Turbo
Bd exhaust brake
Brand new Edge Juice w/Attitude cs monitor
FASS High Performance lift pump
Recon smoked clearance lights
Over the rail bed liner
Bed liner on the rocker panels
Sony HD radio head unit and speakers
Interior is in good shape aside from missing cup holder and some capet stains.
The truck runs great and has a lot of power
There is body damage on the driverside
I am asking $8500 cash

or #2 I am looking at.
I have a 1995 Dodge diesel autu truck all power except seat for sale or trade 220 miles,, $6500 20+ MPG

Rebuilt tranny i can understand but rebuilt motor i would for sure ask WHY ????

If the body is nice you might have an ok deal.

I payed $6900 for my 96 ext cab 4x4 with 125k on it 2 years ago had to make a little trip west to Nevada to get it rust free from original owner was well worth the trip very nice truck.

Hope yours works out as good for you.

Just me, but i avoid buying trucks that are modified - such as #1 in your original post.

These all seem too high in price, and I would want to see reciepts before I proceeded with the "rebuilt engine" uint. That's just not normal. I bought my 2wd for around that much 9 years ago, and it has 358k on it and not needed a rebuild anytime soon.
