I've been looking for a truck for next summer to pull my camper around, I don't need nothing too fancy. Just down the street from where I live, someone is selling a beautiful brown 1997 Dodge Laramie 1500 4X4 extended cab with a 318 V8 5.2l engine in it, short box, automatic tranny and other basics like cruise control. The only bad thing is that it has 220,000 miles on it which he claims to be highway miles, but some people like my brother and dad say "miles are miles".

The guy is asking $5600, but I've been thinking about seeing if he'd take $5000 for it. What do you think ?? We don't really need some big fancy truck, it's mainly just a second vehicle to pull our camper in the summer and perhaps put a plow on it eventually. I think that if I could get it for $5000, that'd be a great deal for a newer four wheel drive truck like that, but I surely wouldn't wanna be rebuilding the engine on it next year, ha ha ha.
