Good evening sir. I was going through the same considerations that your are.....used vs new diesel. They hold their value well. I had a former military buddy buy a new 3500 Tradesman dually for 42k 2 yrs ago.....drove it for a year and put 30k miles on it criss crossing the country for a year after he retired.
Anyways, I opted to go new because the new price was not significantly higher than a used model. Then, since we keep our vehicles 20+ yrs, I opted to go with a higher trim. It should arrive in about 1.5 months as it is being special ordered.
You should easily still be able to get a new 3500 tradesman for 41-43k; and you'd get the full warranty.
If you continue to pursue this one, I'd consider a reputable pre buy....and focus on the coolant and oil systems.....and maybe offer low 30k's.
The best of luck! That is a great looking truck! I am excited to join the ranks of Ram owner with you!!
