My Silverado costs way too much money so I'm looking to get into something else. I found a nice little '03 Dodge Ram 5.7 RCSB up in McKinney that I'm checking out tomorrow.

The truck's got a little over 71,000 miles and it's the navy blue color. I really want one in the lighter blue metallic but I'm being picky enough as it is.

I really can't argue with the $8,800 asking price... if anyone can run a CARFAX for me I'd appreciate it... the VIN# is: 1D7HA16D43J632259

Here's a pic:



I'm looking forward to tearing into the 5.7... Although the aftermarket is lacking alot on these new Hemi's as far as tuning goes.

 

good luck with that junk

 

Does anyone know the digit in the vin # for the 5.7?

I've found a ton of them locally online but most just say "8 cylinder gasoline". I dunno if its the 4.7 or 5.7... they don't include engine shots on most of them.

 

So you're selling your truck for $1600 and you're going to end up spending $10000 on that truck after TT&L. That seems like a great economical decision.

Sorry man, but it just seems foolish.

 

Selling my truck for $1600?

 

$16000 you know what I mean. You're probably going to lose money on your truck and only for $6000 or less depending how much you sell your truck for.

 

Yeah but $6000 is alot of money to me right now, I'm in college and wait tables for a living so saving $200 a month on truck expenses makes alot of sense.

 

How do you figure you'll be saving $200 a month on payments? What kind of loan do you currently have?

 

Whatever you do i'll be seeing ya in my rearview.
Nah i'm jfwy good luck with whatever you do end up doin man.

 

I got approved for the loan today at the credit union on the '03 Ram... it's $220/mo.

My '04 Silvy is $348/mo. and requires a $500 deductible which makes my insurance $248/mo.

The credit union also agreed to carry a $1000 deductible on the '03 which would drop my insurance to $190.

So I'd be saving $128/mo. on payments and $58/mo. on insurance... assuming it wouldn't go up with the Ram. I doubt if it would, given it's an older vehicle... what do you think? I'm calling Allstate tomorrow to get a definite figure.
