i bought my 2012 2500 from a leasing company 5 months ago.it had complete service records,no damage claims and a warranty till 2017.52 thousand kilometers on the odometer,and the hour meter was reasonable. over 20 grand less than a new one.i looked a a diesel for 8 grand more but i really dont need that much torque.sure a diesel lasts longer than the hemi,but will the truck last for 300,000 miles?i don't think so.up here gas is cheaper than diesel by around 15 cents a litre.makes no sense to buy new when you can get a really good pre owned if you look around.i found an f250 almost the same as the ram,for even cheaper.the wife liked the ram better
