looking at buying a 2002 dodge cummins ext cab long bed 4x4 auto trans with 206k miles for $9k, with that many miles should i stay away or go for it?

I would not worry about the miles at all. It might need some minor things done but the engine is just broken in. I have 2 98.5's, one has 413K and the other has over 200K. Neither truck has had any major problems.

I couldn't "hear a thing".

I would pass on that one. It sounds like they dogged it (very fast truck) and if you look closely they misspelled some of the "goodies". If you look you can find some with similar mileage for a better price.

 

both make good points, i drove it tonight, it is a kid round i say maby 19ish that lost his job and cant afford it anymore. im going back up tomorrow morning to give him a final answer.

 

Just traded in a 2004 with 5.9 and 90 K miles for 12000 dollars. First gear was starting to slip, but engine was best I ever owned. average 21 MPG.

Bought mine with almost 200 on it. Best thing I have done.

As far as the spelling goes... you would be amazed how many people cannot spell much more than their name

 

Too much money. I've seen cheaper trucks with less miles & more mods.

 

If its got the original trans (not rebuilt) in the truck, its not worth it.

*at work, can't see the ad....

 

it has a stock trans, but a new one... its the cheapest i found near york, pa and i can do payments on it. the front end makes a weird noise and handles funny, he said its because he didnt put longer shocks on it when he put on the leveling kit???

 

Run away. Funny noises from the front end can be very expensive.
