I found a 2000 Dodge 2500 2wd, 56k, 1 owner, will pass 101 point inspect at a huge dealership before they will sell, asking 14k.
Going to look at it today !

with 56k on it? that would be a good deal. around here 03 with 150k are 15k and up. buddy just got a 06 3500 srw 4x4 115k 4 door and it lived a hard life for 22k was 3-4k cheaper then other 05/06's i looked at a 04 last month 2500 4x4 4 door auto with 125k dealer wanted 24k$. no warranty. it was nice though.
dealers call'em crack rocks around here. (stl)

Here is the story.
An old couple owned the truck in southern Ohio near WV. They used it to pull their bumper pull camper. Sold camper then they sold the truck with 30k on it.
2nd owner owned a construction business and used it as his runner truck.
The truck is a Dodge 2500 Slt Laramie, auto, 54,000 original miles, 2wd, quad cab, never a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch, undercarriage is as nice as a arizona truck. No rust period on truck.
The dealership is putting new tie rods on, axle seals, and a few other small things.
I can get the truck for 15k out the door before trying to beat them on the price.
