hey guys, I need some advice Im looking at a 1999 cummins has a couple mods cold air intake, edge ez 5in stacks but the only draw back for me is it has 240000 miles is that too many to risk, I dont have much money to invest in it if i purchase is what do you guys think??

is that to many to risk and should i keep looking

its listed as 12000
also has 5 in lift tint and new 37s on new 17s

 

Seems like a bit much for the truck to me. It depends on what its condition is, and how much you really think the lift and bigtires/rims increases its value, if at all. I would look for an unmodified lower mileage truck, that you can customize yourself. That way you know if its been beaten or not Thats my two cents anyway. If it hasnt had a new transmission and injecton pump installed, you might get a nasty surprise in a short time.

 

yeah its got an air dog 150 and its a converted 5 speed with heavy duty south bend not many imperfentions no rust

 

those are very good additions, it makes that truck seem alot more valuable. I might not be the best for insight, considering im from canada, our values are totally different here

 

I would say that he is a little on the high side for the truck. I would look for a different one if I was looking around.

Happy hunting!

 

Too high for a 12 year old truck. A more realistic number would be around $8000. I may have some goodies on it but there not worth that much imho. I had a 99 and it had 285,000 miles when I sold it with the original injector pump, a edge ez. 80hp injectors and straight pipe. Sold it for $6000 in 08, and the truck was in really good shape then.

 

IMO thats too much by about 2-3k. The 5spd swap isn't worth that much when you can just get a different truck that already has one for less. If you like the lift and tires/wheels, those would be the deciding factor.

 

Way high, even for a private party. Im seeing 98s-01s with original 5 spds and some mods going for way way less. Most in this area for that yr are going for 8500 with that mileage. The mileage isnt too much of a concern for me as it is a cummins and they can last forever but the price is way high for that mileage since the rest of the truck wont live near as long as the motor. my advice, find you one with no mods for way less, take that 4-5k in savings and upgrade some stuff and do some good TLC to it and youll be happier that way.

 

id offer him $9k,you should look around some at dealerships,autotrader or cartrader if ya really like then go for just talk him down some outa that price

 

Thanks for the Opinions guys, The truck is really clean i know hes way high on the price the miles scare me a little i had a 7.3l but i got hit during a snow storm by a dumb B@#$!
so its out of order so im in the process of finding a new coal roller
