Someone said this was the "holy grail"
 

Just wanted to let everyone know that I found a 98 Quad cab 12v 4x4 Cummins short box SLT Laramie. It has about 163k mi on it and is for $18000 CAD, or about $14500 USD.
Is that worth buying?
Ian

Auto or stick??

Give me the phone number and Ill check it out for ya.....;)

There's a 5 speed down here for 15K if , only it's a long box. The add didn't specify if it was 24 or 12V, but it only had 61,000 on it!

She's an auto, but its the best of both worlds IMO. Quad cab s/b + 12v [roll]
ok, Evil the number is 604 75....hey...you wouldn't try and scoop this deal up from under me, would ya?[laugh]

I paid 13,700, the exact same truck, last September with 170K on it, It never towed just a commuter back and forth to work, all maintaince records DSS, KDP timed at 16.5 all from Mass diesel with receits, new front rotors and loaded calopers, track bar, used nothing but Fleetguard and mopor filters and ATF+4. And I LOVE this truck others think it is brand new.
I found it in the 4 sale section on this site and TDR.
Hope this helps.

Me, nah....I only need the other 4 numbers.....I will (well actually mimime will) just dial the numbers in sequence until I find the one that has the 98 12V for sale......[laugh]

actually, I just found one with LOW mileage (how about 44 k)?? :D unfortunately, its an auto too

44k sounds pretty good...why don't you shoot me the number so I can compare
the trucks?[whistle]
mrwaters, thats a smokin deal! How often do they come up in the classifieds on this site?

A truck in this configuration is very hard to find (especially in BC)...Ive only come across a few of them....If its in good shape and you can veryify proper maintenance - buy it you wont be sorry - just be prepard for the possibility of doing some tranny work in the future. Price is a tad high, but you are in BC - everything is expensive.

Are you from BC, Dr. Evil? You seem to know what its like up here pretty good:D
The truck is a buddy's, so its pretty good. He wouldn't sell it to me if it was crap.
Cheers,
Ian
