who in their right mind???

would purchase this truck at this outrageous price!!!! and i though I got taken to the cleaner! i actually drove up from socal to san jose to look at another CTD this guy had. i think he wanted something like $7500 for the one i looked at. it was great in the ad photo but basically a waste of my gas and weekend to go look at.

I'd say $9k tops if it's in mint condition which it ain't.

Man, I paid that for my 2000 with 68,000 miles. For that I would expect it to be better than new.

We would call that a money laundering operation in progress.

What you want to bet that Chong is selling the truck to Cheech, aye?

(Either that, or maybe the seats are filled with reefer. )

I wouldnt pay that unless it was a 94-98.5 pre 24V. then i would be really picky but no way i would pay that for a truck i think is ugly to begin with.

I would love to have a 1st gen, but I don't want one bad enough to pay 16 large for it, I only paid a bit more then that for my 01.

When I see that price it reminds me of the movie Used Cars. If you've seen it you will know what I mean .

I thought i got the shaft when i bought mine, but geez youd have to be an idiot to pay that much for a 14 stock truck. i dont care if it hadnt ever rolled off the dealer lot, i still wouldnt pay that much. Cummins are gettin to the point john deere is at. just cuz its got a deer emblem and its green and yellow people think they can charge out the butt for it.
