Used RAM Mileage Question updated w/Photos and Carfax

Be interesting to see what the hour meter reads, but that price seems to high.

Not exactly apples to apples but I paid $47K plus taxes and fees for my new loaded 2016 CTD 2500 Big Horn Mega Cab 2wd. Yes, the Laramie is a more expensive trim line, and the 3500 is about $500 more, but I still think the price is a bit high. The high mileage would be a deal-killer for me.

I too paid only 41000 OTD for 2015 tradesman. mine came with many extras camera--backup monitor--chrome--
not sure I would go that high
good luck looking.
love my truck

I don't think that is a lot of miles for the truck, but I do think it is a lot of miles for the price. Personally, I think if you looked for something with a few less options you could like get new for not much more $$$.

Seems priced high to me and I own a 2015 Ram CTD. The 100k miles on the engine may not be much in diesel life but that is a lot of use (wear and tear) on the rest of the truck. Seats wear out, carpet gets wore, shocks wear out and lots of other parts on the truck other than the engine wear out.

I paid 37K for a 2014 2500 with only 17,000 miles on it.

A 2015 with over 100K miles for that price just seems too much to me. I totally get that 100K+ miles is not a 'big deal' for diesel's, but remember, the rest of the vehicle has the same amount of miles.

a truck New of 50k..

and lots of miles at 43k...

go NEW. or PASS.

Do not use NADA for pricing. It's owned by the National Automobile Dealers Association.. there's a huge conflict of interest there. KBB is just as bad, owned by the same parent company as AutoTrader.

Edmunds.com is much more likely to be accurate as far as real sales prices. You don't say if it's 4x4, what bed length, cab size.. but guessing at those things I got roughly $32,000 for private party sales price in my area.

For me, it's too close to a new truck price to consider it even if I did have 40+ grand to blow on a truck.

This is pretty much the key bit, in my opinion.

For comparison, I paid a little over $50k for my new '16 3500 Big Horn, equipped exactly the way I wanted it. Not cheap, but roughly in line with what they cost these days.

Is a new warranty, and 117k fewer miles, worth $7k? In my book, yes. Sure, I don't have the leather seats, but I'd guess most other options are comparable.

117k may not be a lot of miles on a diesel, but what about everything bolted to and around it????
