Currently I drive an 88 jeep cherokee that is getting weak...

Recentlly I came across what I think is a really great deal. I found a 97 dodge ram 1500 long box for sale. I might be able to trade the bombardier for that and 1300-1700 in cash. ok now before you say something is wrong with the truck...here is the story behind it.

The truck was a DNR officers truck. it has 190k miles on it. The body is dented and scratched and the bed will need a spray in bed liner in it....Everything else seems great on it. I am going ot take it for a test drive soon hopefully and get a better feel for it.

what do you think about the deal?

 

sounds pretty good to me. is it a diesle or a gas. either way you cant go wrong but i like the diesles more becuase of their growl

 

One of the good things about getting one from a gov't agency is, they keep up on the the maintenance[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Of course, it probably has seen it's fair share of off roading too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] make sure you check the under carriage good and drive train including suspension. For the right price, it could be a great deal[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I know how much the guy bought it at auction for...1400$ I also know that the dnr vechinles are taken care of very well, my dad serviced the truck in rice county for a good number of years untill he moved to south east minnesota. I have gotten under neither of the truck earlier and it seemed to be in pretty good conidition.
