Found a 14 I really liked, pretty high miles at 89k, Laramie with most of the options, dealer wanted $49k. Are you kidding me? For a 7 year old truck? Local dealers are asking more than new for 17 and 18s. Did they really screw up the 19s and up that bad? I've been reading some stuff about the exploding injector pumps on the 19s and 20s that do about $15k worth of damage when they go out. i,m waiting till this [censored] chinese virus is over to order my new truck.. no need to be in a hurry as my old one still works fine..

I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke! Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

Some of the dealers had no 2500s, or just one. I don’t think things will be getting any better anytime soon. And prices will likely be going up due to material prices like steel and rubber rising, along with tight supply of vehicles making it unlikely dealers will be motivated to negotiate much, or for the auto makers to be generous with rebates. I ordered a truck in February and it’s supposedly built and on its way any day now. Ordering was the only way to go for me as I couldn’t find anything close to what I wanted in a Big Horn trim. Even the salesman told me in February to order, as he couldn’t find anything around close to my desired specs.

He mentioned they can not buy any Heavy Duty trucks for the lot. They can only place Sold Orders. He said it is an issue because Ford and Chevy can not supply HD trucks right now?

They offered to buy out my lease on my Ram because people are walking in and paying silly prices for anything used, and they don't have any used vehicles. New inventory was pretty thin too. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

Typical cloth SLT type package. It had the bolt on fender flares, so very likely there was rust hiding under them. Still, pretty nice looking truck with good miles for the year. Wife was at home on her computer bidding on cars on Friday mornings. I give her figures on where to stop at.... on the truck....12k. Figured it was a 14,995 retail piece..trucking, service, etc Anyhow.... It kicked off at 16k, sold for 21,250.... a gas 2008!!

I had looked up KBB values on my 2015 1500 Laramie 4x4 back in about August and it was like 14500. That was with like 88k miles or so. When I sold my wife’s Ram R/T we went shopping for her a new ride. The dealers were offering me “absolutely top dollar” for my truck even though I wasn’t really wanting to trade it in. Finally I gave in and said look it over and let me know what you will give me. They started at 24k. I had a hard time not taking that. I finally let them talk me into trading it in for 27k. That was with 97k miles on it. I figure if it gained that much value in that little of time I better take advantage of it before they get the supply issues worked out.

hergfest top fuel Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 1,811 NW	I've got a 2007 Ram 2500 early 5.9 diesel Laramie with 155k miles on it. I paid $22,500 about 2.5 years ago and I put 35k miles on it. From what I've seen on craigslist I'm looking at $25k+, maybe close to $30k. I want a 14 and up 2500 and those are $50k plus, at least if I can get good change for my old truck it will take the shock out of the price on the newer one. For example, there was a 06 Laramie 2500 with 166k miles on the local CL for $27,500 and it was gone in a day and a half.
