07 3500 QC 4x4 300mi $39k-$32k told them maybe at $28
07 3500 QC 4x4 CC 0mi MSRP 47k-$34k now 32k
08 3500 QC 4x4 0mi MSRP $48k-$33k
All the 07's are 6.7's
All these trucks are SLT or better most are automatics.
i would vote for the 04 or '07 3500 QC 4x4 CC 0mi MSRP 47k-$34k now 32k' but offer $28k... from what i've heard the 04 would be easier to BOMB

I do like the 07 CC I think if I were going to buy it I'd offer them 27 and buy at 28.
Not really wanting a auto but the info I'm getting on the clutches in the newer trucks is that they don't last. Why buy a truck and have to replace the clutch for $2k+/- when the auto will work. The CC has the aisin which is what I'd prefere if I got the auto.
Most of those trucks are dually. Here's some more I'm looking at.
99 2500 QC 4x4, LB (long bed), 57kmi, $15,750, SLT, auto
99 2500 QC 4x4, LB, 99k, $11k SLT auto
02 2500 QC 4x4, LB, 97k, $11k Laramie auto
03 3500 QC 4x4, 65k $19k SLT auto
03 3500 QC 4x4, 57k $20k Laramie auto
I haven't tried negotiating these prices yet what should I offer them? Most are at dealers.

I called the dealer in Mt Grove and they said those trucks had been bought back by Chrysler so they couldn't sell them.
I'm still looking. Some of the dealers I've talked to act like it's hard to find a used deisel right now????
I'm going to look at a few tomorrow 06-07 with 40k+/- for around 20-22$

You make the deal and let me know what it is. I doubt they would give me the same deal.

What would it cost to OH the motor and who knows maybe upgrade a little in the process????

Call up Matt Gilmore at 573-220-0153 and see what he would charge to R&R the engine. I need to get my Stage 2 water/meth system installed and working and finish up my nitrous set-up this winter. 70/30 water/meth for towing and the nitrous for the track.

Matt would be the guy to ask wouldn't it. I almost bought a new 07 today the sales man thought he could get it for me at 24k$ but the dealer would only go to 27k$. I could buy a similar MSRP value 08 truck for 25k$.
I called about a 03 with 82kmi this morning going for 14750$ but it had already sold.

The dealer with the CC called me yesterday, in fact it was the general manager that called.
I had called them last week to tell them I'd rather have the ST model since it had the PTO prep. MSRP on it is $40,760. He offered the truck at $30k last week and then droped to 27k$. I told them $24 was what I'd pay.
When he called yesterday the new offer was $26 then $25k. I told them I'd think about it. Last new truck I bought was a 01 for $21k I think.
It is a CC so I'll have to get a bed. Anyone know where to get a good quallity bed at a reasonable price. I've priced one here for $1600.

Yes I sold it about 2 months ago. The truck was ok just time to replace front main seal and fix leaking fuel pump and start rebuilding the front end. Why put all that money into a truck that I couldn't get my money back.
Truck had 180k sold it for 14,5k. I'll pick up my new 07 in the next couple of days. It has 29mi on it for $24k see sig.
