worth it or not?

I think i got ripped off when i baught my 03 bout 4 monthes ago. Realizing now that i think i got screwed on my deal, paid $23,500 then taxes and extended warrenty. Now they wont even give me half of what i owe. Maybe i shoulda got the 06?

um yes..sorry to say but 23,500 is extremely high for what the used diesel trucks are worth as of now..

How many miles does it have? I paid that for my '06 with 70k on it about a month ago. I may have paid too much too but I thought it was a decent price.

What options does yours have? Mines the Lariat that's hard loaded leather heated seats and all.

but yours is an 06..different ball game..

05^ coil suspension newer frontend and a 100k mile motor and trans warranty..

03 leaf sprung 100k mile motor warranty..no trans warranty after 36k

you might not have been ripped off, but they are worth less now. it happens. sorry bud. I paid a bunch for mine about 8 months ago, and now i can get a newer one for the same. just the market now.

I wanted the 03 mainly bc of the leaf sprung frontend and it only had 65,000 miles on it which i thaught was good but now not to happy. And everything is much higher in VA, the commenwealth!

I was just making the point that he gave just as much for his as I gave for mine. Nothing at all against his truck but I feel I got a better truck for the price. But he may have a lot lower mileage I dont know. Mine is pretty high mileage for an '06.
Again not putting his truck down in any way!!

[Abrannan19]

no I wasnt saying you were.my bad if I came across that way..I agree with you 100%

leaf sprung trucks are alot cheaper to lift..

But I would rather have the smoother ride and tighter turning radius that you get with 05^

i knew what you meant. its all good.

worthless is such a strong word. if you can drive that thing and be proud of it and its a reliable vehicle then thats worth a lot. yeah you might not have gotten a real good deal but all you can do now is love it and make it your own and be glad your not driving a duramax or cummins. its time for some upgrades and mods!!
