So guys here is my delima. I need a short term bigger truck. I had a 04 quad that got smashed and I'm rebuilding it as we speak. But life has gotten busy with parents passing. Starting a business. Personal and so on. I just did that speel for the people that wanna know why I'm doing this ha ha.

So I've been doing all my work with a 1500 ram. It honestly does better than I expected but its really not up to the task we will be requiring it so I found a 2007 dodge megacab 6.7 I want to pick up till my other truck gets completed. Question is how easy has it been to get rid of them? The reason I'm buying a 30k new truck compared to a 10k 300000 mile truck is so I know I can sell it! Just seems not everyone will be able to cash out a new truck from private party. Any tips?

 

By the way the mega is a good deal at 25k book is 31. So not too worried about lost value that Way

 

why dont you just keep the mega and get rid of the '04?

 

why not just buy a 1gen for cheap?

 

I had to sell my 08 Laramie Megacab and really took a big hit on it but it sold pretty quick since it was low mileage and heavily optioned. I've seen some guys have a very hard time selling their SLT Megas though.......

Find a nice Mega Laramie and I'll trade you for it....

 

i wouldnt sell mine for $30K i find that around here megas are highly desirable wether it be laramie or slt. or 30k miles or 300000k miles

just keep the mega and toss the 04

 

well the 04 will go up too when done, whichever sells first will go honestly but with the 04 wrecked. we shall see. i dont want to take a huge hit on tha its only got 39k on the clock haha

 

speaking of which anyone from the Minneapolis MN area that wants to lend a hand? haha no shop will take it on!

 

Around here, 30k mi Mega Cabs regardless or 5.9 or 6.7 seem to go for $30k+.
Friend sold his 06 Mega SLT, 50k mi, BEAT UP. Missing taligate, one side all dented up, not clean inside, crappy tires,etc for $22k and he dumped it to a used car dealer to get out from under it!
Unless it's a problem 07.5, if it has the auto trans/e brake and is in good condition, I think you could still get $25k for it with 70-80k mi on it. You won't want to go back to your 04 though!

 

Is the new setup that much better? I'm thinking all I wanted was the 6 spd.trans. Seems I could make easy power on 5.9 and sounds like the new setup didn't like the upgrades? Weak head gasket and the trans can't be beefed up?
