2006 Dodge 3500 Price Check

I know the used market is not in favor of the buyer but how close to a "good deal" is this truck

This place does seem very proud of their trucks or at least some of them.

No such thing as a good deal in this market, but this looks like a pretty clean, and increasingly rare example the diesel good ole days.

I agree, I also find the manual transmission trucks even more difficult to come across.

That’s a really, really nice truck but at $40k they’re as high as a whale.

Dodge once made (newer style) a no frils 2500 4x4 with the diesel and a 6 speed. Workman, sportsman, trademans, etc..., not sure what it was called but it had almost nothing in it. Rubber mats, pretty basic, non fancy wheels but it was an interesting truck.

Nice truck and I’ll be honest I don’t follow diesel truck prices but I would be hard pressed to pay half that for that truck

 

[LS WUT]

That’s gonna be a no from me.

Gorgeous truck but.... no at anywhere near that price... just get a 2013+ and delete it

For comparison, a member recently asked about this 2003 with similar miles.

Loaded six speed manual in mint condition for $22k.

Buying a diesel

Could anyone familiar with 2003 Ram 2500 diesels tell me if there are any issues I should be looking for? It's a 6 speed, 5.9 Cummins, 183k miles... interior is immaculate, no rust, no dents and damn near no blemishes in the entire truck, including the bed and tailgate. The tow receiver even...

This just confirms they are way too proud of their trucks which I could tell. I was mainly looking for the pre emissions trucks. I'm also looking for the man pedal because I do miss rowing some gears.

Anyone know a few good places to possibly source a truck like this?

Honestly, you just have to do daily searches on sites where trucks are sold and try to find one at a reasonable price before someone else does. I found my 03 on a boat forum in their classifieds almost two years ago. I remember PM’ing the guy not too long after he posted the ad and he got back to me an hour later. He said I was the first to contact him and he had four people in the queue already. I believed him based on the posts in the thread - I think there were close to 10 “PM sent” before he posted it was sold (to me!)

I hope I can get that lucky! Thanks for the information!

I just realized that’s same member I bought my truck from in November 2020. I’d buy from him again.
