Title: Truck Purchase
Post by: Wazukie on September 23, 2018, 08:21:33 PM: Looking at purchasing a 1998 Dodge 2500 Laramie SLT 24v Turbo Diesel, it's in great shape and only has 118,000 miles. Any idea a good price for this truck would be? Want to make sure I don't pay to much. Thanks

I had a couple of 5 speed sticks I spun the 5th gear off of towing other than that it was an awesome truck.

Anyway with older non smog diesels KBB and NADA become less relevant. Especially for clean, low mileage, 1 or 2 owner trucks that were babied. I could see that truck selling in the high teens easily.
