I've been looking to buy a used Dodge diesel pickup and it seems like the best place is Texas. It also seems that the prices are lower. I'm looking for a truck that isn't rusted. Texas seems to have a better selection than here in the pacific northwest. Where is Arlington Texas? I'd fly in and buy two trucks and a trailer to haul one home to resell. Anybody have any wisdom on this idea? Thanks

 

Look on auto-trader the zip for College Station TX 77803 the zip for Austin TX is 78733. Dallas TX is 75215, Houston TX is 77479 good luck.

 

Try www.freedomdiesels.com all they sell are diesel trucks. Pretty good guys also. One of the partners was a heavy equipment diesel mechanic so he knows diesels. They're not your typical used sales boozos.

 

Arlington is in the DFW metroplex. don't buy from a used lot in Arlington or Irving! LOL

 

I bought mine off ebay. DFW Dealer Sewell GM/Pontiac. Very nice, came to airport to pick me up, were ready for me. Very quick and professional.

 

May I ask why? My 01' came from arlington. No probs and was like the ad stated.

 

out of curiosity, Ive noticed a lot of used dodge's Ive done carfax on, were first registered in texas. Why is this???? We have a lot up here with needing
4x4 a lot and to haul around all those big alaska toys. But whats going on in texas that demands so many CTDs

 

we've got a lot of ground to cover, and we've got good taste



as for the used lots, you can do alright, but be aware the Arlington and Irving are notoriously ghetto when it comes to used car lots.

 

texas usually has a good market for trucks......can find some good deals if your willing to drive a little ways to get it

 

arlington is where i work, the zip is 76011

 

More and more people here, mainly ;'city people', no offense to anyone, who have no reason for anything more than a honda, buy a diesel of some sort, lift it up on 35s or 37s, and put a bully dog or similiar street chip on it to compete against the others like it. I know because at my old high school, about 10% of the seniors would get a brand new truck and do this. As for Arlington, Ive seen some good finds around there. My bro lives there. If you wanted someone to check out mechanically, just ask. If I cant make it out there, there are plenty of people on here who would probably be willing to help. Good luck!

 

those guys sure dont like Duramax!

 

You can find one that a laywer or Dr. used as their daily driver. Bed has never seen anything but groceries. Now that diesel has been so high, they have gone back to their luxury cars.

 

where in the pacific northwest are you?

 

Yeah they also "know" what to sell one for.......I'd look around unless you like paying a premium.
