St. Louis. The under side is immaculate. I have dug through every compartment trying to find a name so I could call the previous owner. The guy that had this truck must have been very particular because the condition is incredible.

I am going to negotiate a tune-up.
That sounds like a really good deal. Plus they've only had it for a few hours so if your serious about buying they should come down on the price a whole lot since they would be turning it around so fast. My parents did that with a jeep we bought last year and talked em down like 3000 dollars because the dealership just got it that day. And they replace the stock tires. Just really try and talk em down! Good luck BTW

Did they come up from kc or further south from previous owner?

I am trading in a 99 Durango. I don't really want to haggle much on price.....I would rather negotiate a tune up. From NADA they seem to have it reasonably priced. Here are some pics of the under side.

Wow that sure is a clean truck! I'm sure you will be pleased with the trade in as long as its mechanically sound and I'm sure getting the free tune up will be just as good as talking them down

Yea there's a good chance. The frame was also covered in dirt. And it had been on the lot for a while so I don't think they cleaned it very well. I got it from roper Honda

Just got my 06 with 98k miles.
I had them do all fluids! I forgot the fuel filter. Also had them do spark plugs.
You may want them to do shocks and struts. If they are original then they should be replaced. Other then that if its in great shape and well cared for then the mileage doesn't bother me at all
