Right after I put a deposit down on the 05 laramie, I came across this little guy here

05 2500 laramie, 160,000 ks (100k miles)
http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rc...054890727.html
It's minty inside and out .. and I get $8000 on top of it for my jeep .. I know it has high miles, but kinda hard to say no to 8 large !

I drove it, it felt a little less ballsy than the 3500 .. perhaps because the 2500 didnt get the HO motor ? I'm not sure .. guess i'll have to do some research on that... but I'm pretty sure I can get a smarty jr to sort out that issue in a hurry.

I'm also going to keep my msd dashhawk from the jeep and install the EGT gauge as well.

The dealer says the front end has been done.. I'm thinking about taking it into a dealership or a diesel shop to have them go over it before I pull the trigger

In 2006 mine was $51325 on sale,reg. $58325,I cant believe the prices now,low 60s to mid 70s and used ones almost dont exist.
I bought my 2007 dually mega 5.9 4x4 Auto SLT(32,000KM) from these guys on Dec 06---2008,flew out from Calgary after doing the deal and was back 14 hour later with this used ride----$38,000.00 with no warranty because it came out of the US(i bought a aftermarket warranty here).I looked around for this one for a bit and happened to stumble across it.Three similar truck across the country wanted 45-52k used.At the time deals were out there because all the hype of cross boarder vehicle buying and any dealer here would try to suck you in on a similar ride advertised at 40-45k range for new but after tax/fees/similar options,the real deal it put them over 50-55K---i checked.Only problem so far(knock on wood)is frozen batteries the day after i drove back cause its old life was in milder climates(Wash/Oregon).45,000 KM by me in 2 years.
