Replying to: jboehm (Oct 30, 2007 1:48 pm) Avoid used 1year old cars. New cars can be had for not much more, if not less, especially trucks. You should be able to get a leftover 07 30000 msrp dakota quad cab for 20000 or so. A used 06 wholesales for about 18500. The machine you describe is about 30000 msrp. A new 07 36000 msrp ram 1500 sells regularly for 24000. The kbb wholesale on a used 06 is about 21000 for a dealer sale price of about 23000+. You be the judge. The 08s large discounts will become larger with the holidays into next year. 07+ dodges bought new have the factory lifetime powertrain waranty too. So my advice on a used 07 is ... don't. Duuuummmmb. Think 07 or 08 new. Good luck --jjf Any advice on purchasing a used 2007? I am finding it difficult to get "accurate" used pricing info since there are not that many that are getting traded. For instance I did find pricing on Edmunds and Kelly but NADA says that it does not have enough info. Since there are new ones still on the lots do the "Trade-in" values include any cash back offers or do I need to take that off as well? 2007 QC SLT 4x4 4.8L Flex-fuel Bench seat Sliding rear window Power seat single CD Sprayed on bed liner step rails $23,300 Replies to this message: jboehm (Oct 30, 2007 7:57 pm)
