I am looking at a 1997 dodge 3500 slt laramie, 85k original miles, auto, club cab, 2wd, totally decked out. An old man's toy and he pulled his 5th wheel camper. Dealers asking price is 11k.

Guys what you think its worth ?

Anything to look out for ?

Thanks !

 

If it were 4wd I'd buy it now myself. Do a compression check if you can and drive it in all gears and make sure the tranny works correctly. Drive it on the road and jam on the brakes at 50mps and see which way it pulls if at all. Is the KDP fixed? It will need to bel.Oil leaks, tranny leaks, wheel hub leaks, differential leaks.........it all add up. You can usually get some wiggle room on the guy for the rig, just take advantage of it.

 

Thanks !

 

gota say i jump at that if it were 4x4 seems little high for 2x but depends on were your at i guess. i agree with those other test

 

Trac bar.. Easy fix but a good bargaining chip for the deal..

 

ok so i looked around here for that truck....every thing i found had 200k+ im thinkin at 85k you got deal even if it has a few repairs needed

 

I totally agree........... Thanks !
