Hi everyone, as the thread title states I am thinking of buying my first Dodge! (Also my first truck )
The dodge in question is a 06 2500 5.9l with only 113000 kilometres. (Vancouver truck) Apparently it's has only been used for towing a fifth wheel(the guy wants to sell the hitch too...I don't want it)
I am a steam fitter and am looking for something reliable for travelling and also to carry a quad out to the bush.
25k is the tentative price we have settled on.
My questions to the community are....
What should I be looking for besides the obvious? (vehicle history ect...)
Is there anything I should be wary of?
A lot of me mates own a dodge and are generally quite happy with it.
25k seems like a lot for a eight year old truck, but when I look at comparables 113000 kilometres (70000) miles seems like the engine is being just broken in.
Thoughts?
