IS this truck worth buying
Is this worth buying as my first truck? And how much?
1998 dodge 12v QC/SB 4x4
198k miles
3.54 gears rebuilt rear axle D70 with power lok LSD
184k miles Reman auto with ATS billet torque converter
new interior/ stereo
#8 plate
gauges
Scotty air II
4" exhaust
Engine resealed by cummins at 150k miles
New t-case 16 months ago
No blow by
Only leak is ps pump/vacum pump and that is being fixed
truck is dry otherwise.
Box isnt dinged up and truck has a TJM winch bumper in front and Ruenel look alike in rear both setup for winches
AC recharged last summer
New Alternator
KDP to be tabbed by owner monday.
Flip out towing mirrors
Hiem joint trac bar
Dss stering box stabilizer
new batteries
new starter
new lift pump and over flow valve
New intake boots at intercooler ect
New tie rods and drag link
Brakes at 60%
5.5" skyjacker lift with 70% left on new 315/75 R16 SXT AT's
Down side it has salvage title but we have known owners of truck since day one and salvage title was not related to any serious damage just box being replaced from a rear ender. Frame checked out Ok after the accident.

Sounds nice. To me, the most valuable feature is always knowing the previous owners. If you trust that fluids were serviced regularly, and it was never overheated, that's worth its weight in gold when buying a used vehicle. If you saw the damage, and trust it to have been minor enough that you still want the truck, and it's still licenseable, then you seem to be getting a good unit. The only worry you have is if you ever try to sell it to a stranger, they will naturally be spooked by the salvage title, and you won't get much for it.

My guess would be around 12ish. Its good that you know the original owners, that helps. Again what torque said if/when you sell it the buyer is going to be real hesitant on buying it or at least want a real good deal on it, I know I would.
