I recently found an 2006, 3500 SLT 4x4 Diesel Quad SRW 6-Speed Lifted, little dent in tail, looks great tho.... I found it in Texas for 26,000$ hoping to negotiate. Apperently its been in one "accident." (I have to find out what it was) Does this sound like a good deal to anyone or do you guys think im outa line? I have a F-150 right now but its lease is up in Aug. Im hoping to get a diesel lined up before then. Any help is greatly apprecieted Looking forward to hearing from you guys...

 

miles???

 

98,000 miles

 

you can find a better deal i bought an 06 2500 right before xmas with 39000 miles and got it for 27000 i wouldnt buy it unless you can get the price down if you have till august i would keep shopping around you never know what kind of deal you might find

 

yea i hear ya, I'm going to keep looking. I thought i'd ask around see what I can find. Thanks for the help

 

also if you don't need 3500 a 2500 will prob be a little cheaper

 

also a great point . I figured if I can get the most truck for the least amount of $$ and work on it, itd be painful but fun. I love working on my gas f150 intake exhaust etc etc.. but working on a diesel and a 3500 oo baby

 

well i found an 04 lifted, piped and bunch of other goodies, mostly show stuff for a little over 20g's. i think it had about 55,000 on it then. i didn't think it was too bad a deal, little more then i wanted to pay, but it was the best deal i could find in my area for about 4 months. these things are gold right now, i would hold out as long as i could. there are kids all over the place that are buying these trucks and only driving them for a year or so and getting sick of them, those trucks usually go pretty cheap. thats how i found mine. and they usually have a little done to them, which will put you ahead of the game a bit.

 

okay so the best thing for me to do is wait and save up till just about August time and see what I can find ?

 

yea thats what i would do just keep an eye out looking on craigslist and autotrader
