I had my 2006 RAM in my sig in for the air bag recall. When I went to pick it up, 3 mechanics met me and asked if I were interested in selling it. I asked how much they'd give me, they asked what did I pay for it. I told 'em $32,000 and they said SOLD! Then the bidding started. I whoa'd 'em and asked what a new one cost. Well, that ended that! Who in their right mind would spend $60,000+ for a brand new truck?!! My first house, in California yet, was less than $50,000. Ha!
I'm sure glad I bought that truck when I did. It will be my last truck I ever buy barring any catastrophic event.
I went to pick up my 2004.5 Ram dually from the dealership after my airbag replacement. It was sitting next to the showroom with the doors open and the hood up. I asked them what the story was and they said they just wanted to show it off, don't see many that old in that condition. Said they could have sold it three times that day. Last truck for me so we didn't discuss money.
My buddy, Reddog has that truck. It's sorta a maroon, rootbeer colored truck. Never seen that color before. I've driven it towing a lifted 5er and again with a Bigfoot camper while towing a Samurai and I gotta say that thing is the smoothest ride I've ever jockeyed.
But I don't like the headlights. Ha!
