Guys im looking into buying a new/used truck. im wanting to spend 20k or less and pay cash. I want crew cab and 4 wheel drive. Ive been looking at 2009-2013 silverado LT's,2009-2012 XLT and FX4 F150's, and 2009-2012 Rams. I was going to put the money down on a new 14 Ram Express 4x4 but have decided to stay out of debt, and just pay cash. I don't really want $20k of my money tied up while still owing 10-15k on a truck.
I've been running into the problem of used trucks being outrageous, are they like that all over the country? im seeing 100k mile 2010's going for 20+k. I've noticed the cheapest ones ive found are in michigan, and they get more expensive going south. At least that has been my gathering from a week or so of craigslist and autotrader shopping. Naturally they probably are in better shape south of the ohio which puts them mostly out of snowy climates. thoughts? id really like a 2011 or 2012 for around 20k with 50-70k miles on it, am i dreaming?
