2022 Ram with 176 miles?!

[panthermike]

I'm helping my brother look for a Ram pickup. He's interested in a '22-24 w/ the Hemi engine. I came across this 2022 RAM. The oddity of course is the low miles and that it's never been registered to an owner. The Carfax shows dealers touching it but no sale. In Aug 2023 it was listed for sale in NV and then nothing until now; listed at this dealer. I called the first dealer listed and he was able to look into some records. It was shown that it was "stolen and recovered", possibly at a port (can't say for sure) prior to being serviced by the first dealer. This partially makes sense but I can't figure the large amounts of time that passed with nothing happening with it.

The history is too weird to recommend to my brother but now I'm just so curious as to what happened to this thing. Any ideas or theories? This is just for fun, NOT for purchase.

First strike is it's at Bill Luke, that's enough to run. The stolen and recovered is also a big red flag, if that's what they're willing to admit to I'd hate to know what else happened to it.

The long period of time was probably processing and fighting over insurance payouts and repairs.

Held as evidence in a court case ? Someone die or killed during its recovery ?

Yes, but this will not be purchased, so no worries on BL Makes sense to me on the payouts but around 3 years is crazy.

I would take that one. Simple and useful. Probably sat around as crew cabs got sold all around it.

The difference in creasing between the driver and passenger front seat is interesting at that mileage.

They're discounting the heck out of the 25's. Just buy a 25.

Do you think the platform is reliable? I've read some horror stories, but it is the internet after all.

Honestly, that's the last thing I'd want in the desert southwest. An all black vehicle with black leather seats.

I had National try to give me a black convertible with black leather seats at the Phoenix airport, and I refused to take it.

I have no experience with the refresh.

Yeah, Bill Luke is notorious for selling lemon-law buy-back vehicles, hail vehicles, etc. so not surprised.

Bad Juju. Avoid.

Dead fat guy sitting in it for 9 months?
