2001 Ram 2500 4x4 Cummins...How much should I pay?
 

A diesel mechanic friend of mine is selling an extremely well maintained 2001 Ram 2500 4x4 diesel club cab fully loaded with leather. It has a few very small rust spots (Michigan truck) and a very easy 111,000 miles. The truck has many extras including a programmer, auto meter gauges and $7000 into the tricked out tranny. He's also quieted the truck down by 10 decibels. This truck has too many things to list and even more that I can't appreciate as this would be my first diesel truck ever. He's asking $16000 and I trust the guy completely but I just wanted some input based on what I've listed. Thanks

there is some rust you cant always see

Thanks, I'll make sure I take a real close look at the less obvious areas....I appreciate all the tips and advice I can get.

it sounds like a VERY nice truck though! if you get a diesel you will love it:c:

but be careful because i bought my F350 from a "friend", now we are no longer friends after i found out he lied about things he did to the truck and i had to spend $2,000 to get it corrected:argh:

$16k is too much for an 01 model.
remind your "friend" that you rarely
get out, what you put into a truck.

i would offer maybe $9k - $10k and
see what happens. also, keep your
eye out, you can always buy a cheaper
truck and mod it yourself. that way,
you know whats been done to it.

:hellox::hellox:

What these guys stated before is accurate also receipts prove everything your friend says, it would suck to have a " built" trans and go off and do mods to the truck and the trans goes after you dropped a big stack of bills for it.
