I think I would want to know why the first motor was replaced.

I'm different but I've always thought it's better to buy a new one that might not have as much stuff than to buy a high end used truck and pay to close to the price of a new one. That's my general idea, not saying it applies 100% here.
A new 4 door 4wd tradesman dually with a 6.7 and 6spd can be bought for right at or real close to 40k. So in my mind 25k is to much for a 8 year old truck with 58000 miles. Of course this bed may have cost 6000$, but do you care? Would you buy that same bed if it wasn't on it?. Another thing is diesel trucks are about the only vehicle's that hold there value really well and almost seem like a good investment if you use one.
I agree on buying a new truck. It doesn't apply on a passenger vehicle for my wife to drive, but it does a truck.
Especially diesel trucks. This 2007 dodge in question that Kenny is looking at cost about 34k when it was new, now it's 8 years old with 58k miles and they are asking 27000$. What vehicle besides a diesel truck holds value like that?. It's the reason why when I was 16 I got a new dodge dually instead of a used one, at the time you could buy one 5 years old with 100k miles and no warranty for 22000$ or a brand new one for 32000$.Bigfoot":3ik0dyzl said:Inyati,
I wondered when someone would bust my chops for that. Trucks just hold there value better for some reason. Even hard to find, if you are looking. Cars are on every corner. I guess because more people drive them. Idk. If you take $10,000, and go shopping for a used car, the sky is the limit. Blows your mind what all is out there. Take that same $10,000 and look for a truck, that will actually work for you on the farm, and your choices are limited.
Looking for an suv, is about like looking for a truck. I'm talking about 4 door cars. Mini vans are also a good buy when they are used.
A new one now with everything would be close to 60000$, I was saying personally I would rather buy something new without the bells and whistles than a really nice used one. I was just saying how I look at it, wasn't saying that applied here. A tradesman 4x4 diesel 4 door dually can be bought for just right or a touch over 40k.kenny thomas":1ap5a1m6 said:To me it is not as much the difference in cost of new vs used as it is I dont like all the emission controls and what goes with them on the new ones. John SD I love the thought of a single axle but I must have 4x4 and a realy slow gear. Denver new trucks must be lots cheaper there, a new one like this with all the bells and whistles here is just over $60,000. If this was a 6 speed it would have been gone the first day.
