You should be able to get them lower on it. I paid $33k out the door for mine (06 5.9, quad/short, 4x4, Laramie, 7 miles) in June of 06.

They are advertising brand-new Mega Cab SLT 4x4 6.7l for $37k around here (S. Idaho/N. Utah), quads were around $34k last I heard.

Are you financing? Sometimes they will give better rates for purchasing new over used. It may be worth it in the long run to purchase new, and for the price you are talking I would definately be looking at the new.

Sounds like a great deal to me. Those trucks run 55000 here. We in Canada have been screwed by the Manufactures for so long. Man with our dollar now those numbers seem almost free. I paid that for my 05 last Christmas and it had 130000km on it.

That dealer I posted the info on before now has basically the same truck you're looking at, new, for under $33k.


(BTW, they are also advertising a loaded Laramie Mega for under $40k, not sure which tranny...)

Most times new financing is cheaper than old. With it being that close, I would either drop down to an 06 or pony up for a new 08.
