I love the cummins motor but still not sure in my case. Im looking at an 2004 dodge 2500 4x4 slt with 90000 miles for $14995. do you think its a good deal?

 

Sounds too good to be true. That's a very low price. I'd do an OASIS on it first. Get the vin and see what history the truck has. Good luck!

 

Same here, doesn't sound right. I could not find a 03 for less than $20k around here. That is why I went ahead and bought new $32k and a warranty (though it seems debatable whether or not the warranty is any good.) Is it truly a diesel? I found several trucks advertised as diesels (03 Dodge Ram V8 diesel for $15k) that were obviously not diesel. I wouldn't touch it because something, somewhere is wrong.

Later,

Seems pretty low to me too

 

Is it a regular cab? Even so, then that price is a pretty good.
NADA has it at $18,600-$22,000

Better buy it if the title is clean.

 

I know exactly what you're saying here. There are guys (mainly dealers) trying to sell 04-05 CTD Rams with up to 50K miles on them for $30K, all while you can buy a brand new '07 CTD SLT 4x4 quad cab for $34K or an '06 leftover for $31K or $32K. Some of the used truck prices are insane.

 

I got my 03 Crew Cab Dually for $14k at a non Dodge dealership. It had 128k on it. I thought that was a pretty good deal.

 

Once it pops 100k price falls big.Two I knew of that were clean,everthing worked etc.with 150k on them traded in value wasn't but in the 14k range.Both sold off the behind the scene lot(wholesale)in a couple days for a few bucks more.

 

I'd say it mainly has to due with a lack of factory warranty. Well, for the diesels anyway.

 

if its clean and checks out i would jump on it quick

 

Definitely do a vin check, make sure the vehicle was not wrecked or burned. Price is definitely too low! Usually a 2004 will run you around 20-22k minimum.
