Should i buy this truck?
 

Hello all! I just sold my 06 3500 because i got offered a pretty sweet deal. I think i may go back to a 2nd gen 24v and buy a boat for this upcoming summer. I have a friend that is selling an 02 Dodge 3500 dually with a 6 inch lift, 6 brand new tsl super swampers (i believe their 35's), its got stacks, cowl hood, brush guard, 6 speed with an hd clutch, motor is mostly stock but i think it may have an edge, the truck has around 140k miles on it. The bad is that its been through hell and back... (Like running it through a house trailer because he was pissed off at the people living there) he knocked the thing off its foundation :td:. Its gonna need a new paint job because of the whole house thing. The motor and trans still seems strong and its got a clear title.

It also just got a new power steering pump but he wrecked it drifting yesterday so now it needs a new bumper)

He's asking 10,500, what do you guys think?

my opinion would be no not for that price if it needs paint and a bumper that and with the history behind it i would have a very hard time convincing myself to buy any vehicle thats been run that hard but thats just my opinion

i wouldnt give him anymore than 3K for it with all you just described and the only reason i would even give that is for the drive train.

I wouldn't buy it. If he has ran it through a trailer, imagine the other things he's done with it. There's other trucks in better condition I'm sure and I would just keep looking.

Its not much of a deal anyway, even if the truck wasnt all beat up he's still a little high on his price.

There are better trucks to be had for less money.

imo no i wouldnt buy it, like someone else said, if he was stupid enough to run it into a house trailer i couldnt imagine what else he did with it. guy seems like he needs a little mental help..:scare2:

There is no way I would buy the truck unless you would get it for around 4,000. Just think of all the other things he did to it.:td:

If you can get it for cheap, it would be a nice build truck on a stock and not punished motor :w2: but for 10k, hell to the no! If u can get it for like 5k, go for it.
