Also at least up here a diesel pickup new or used is more expensive than a gas.

Nice catch.

I dont get why people pay so much for vehicles

Buy something from the 80's or older, learn how to fix it. Have a cheap truck that can do everything you need for a couple grand. People have been using cars everyday as long as we have had them, no reason an older truck can't work for you. Also it is a fun hobby.

New cars are the devil!!!

even if it isn't that old, i prefer keeping one, and doing my own maintenance and repairs, because after you get to know a vehicle, it gets to be pretty easy to maintain (long as you started out with the right vehicle in the first place).

Dodge= POOP

130K dodge @ $6900= PooPoo POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
The end!

Not true haha! That V10 truck is way overpriced though. I have 3 dodge diesel trucks (89, 91 and 95) and a 96 ford diesel van (only because dodge didn't put Cummins in the vans) and they're the way to go. And all of them cost me 1/4 to 1/2 of what this guy is asking for his V10 gas hog.

We run diesels and I wont get into why. TO the OP I recomend you stay away from the V10. We buy junk cars from alot of lots and see the same V10's sitting around. Expensive to drive for very little if any improvement over a V8. Nothing wrong with a gas truck, but not for us.

I honestly wouldn't recommend buying a Dodge. Not to sound biased. But, if I were you I would buy a Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, or Nissan. Or most anything that isn't a Dodge. At least not with a gas motor. The Cummins diesel is an excellent motor, just paired with a not so excellent truck ( in my opinion). I know some people swear by them, and I'm really not trying to start the huge truck debate. But, I just don't think you'd get your money's worth.
Just my two cents!

I've had tons of dodges with gas and v8 motors and they've all been reliable for me. Fords and chevy's, not so much haha. I use to consider myself a chevy guy but now I'm more of a dodge guy as well. But I'll drive anything if the deal is right on it.

its all in what you want or need.I like all truck have owened everything but a chevy.I have a 1994 dodge cummins and i put it through the ringer and it has been going strong for almost 4 years now.I havent done anything to it either!
