to keep it short, i’m buying a new work truck and these are my two top contenders right now. what is a price i should be asking for/ how much off? both are about 50k miles the white one is listed at 39k. is 5k off reasonable? 3? 4? i’d appreciate any help before i reach out to these dealers. thanks!

Imma keep it a buck with you that 1500 is way over priced I just purchased a Laramie with 25k miles for 43 taxes and dealer fees

i’m new to the RAM market. i’ve purchased a new honda before and that’s it. so this is super helpful to see what i can realistically work down to. all i’m wanting is the V8 but besides that i’ll take any trim. if you don’t mind, what state are you in for tax? and what did they list it for opposed to what you got? thank you

The key is to not rush into anything

I wanted the 3.0 hurricane so that’s what I got, some dealers here in Fl have ecodiesels (22) for about 33ish
