2014 RAM Diesel 1500

I am going to add another comment or two about what has happened to the used prices of the Dodge diesels. I traded my 02 diesel in on my 05 diesel in 2008 after the stock market crash. I got $8000 for it on trade with 190,000 miles on it.

I actually traded in my 05 in 2011 for a 11 Hemi. I received $18,500 trade value for the 05. The Hemi price was $28,550. In 2012, I traded the Hemi, 33,000 miles, for a 12 diesel and received $28,500 trade value for the Hemi. Go figure!

Now, if you can find one, a 05 or 06 Dodge diesel with reasonable mileage will sell for $22,000 to $28,000. The reason, fuel mileage! And that is the reason I traded my 12 diesel for a 14 Hemi, poor fuel mileage as compared to the older diesels.

If I were going to go back to 2011, I would have put some money into my 05 and would still be driving it! But, that is history.
