Need some input

I'm looking for a 3500 HO 6 speed. What do you guys think of this one? Is the mileage too high? Any concern there? Here's the link to check it out and tell me what you think. How about the price? Thanks! 2003 3500

I didn't see anything regarding the engine. Is it an HO or SO? Sounds like a lot of miles - not for the drive train, but all the rest of the stuff.

Looks like it has to be an HO engine. They only mated 6 speeds with the HO engine. But for the mileage, the price should be much lower. Plus it is only a 4X2 which is also less money. There isn't any leather, so it must be an SLT with either the upgraded cloth or less. You are miles and $$$ ahead buying new. You can get one for about 6,000 more and have something new. If you have to have it, offer 19K but no more than $22K. Too many miles under it's hood.

My $0.02 worth.

You could certaintly find one for the same money with under 30K miles on it. There is an 0-3 dually where I live a on the DC lot with around 30K miles on it. I have no idea what they want for it.

There are a lot of these around for that price. Just search a bit more. 90K miles is high for the money.

my 2 cents

And the winner is...
Truck

I'm going to get this one as soon as I close the deal on my truck. I got it for $29,500. I think it's a fair deal considering the mileage and options. Comes with an exhaust brake too. I can't wait to fly to San Antonio and drive her home. I sent the guy a refundable deposit to hold her for me..Yeeee Haaaa.

I specifically wanted a 2003 HO 6 speed and they aren't available in California. With so many guys unhappy with the 04's mileage, I thought this would be a safe bet.

I forgot to mention, it has the Laramie package...the good one. There are two Laramie packages. One is about $2000.00. The other $4,000.00. Here in California they get about $41,000.00 for those trucks!
