Though it's now the oldest design among current fullsize pickups, the Dodge Ram may still be the bestlooking truck on the market. Clearly, it's the most stylish. It drives and rides well with quick steering and excellent brakes. Like the other domestic pickups, it offers a wide range of engine choices and an even wider range of cab and bed configurations. Last year, the Ram received a host of significant changes aimed at improving performance, ride and steering response, including more powerful engines, a new front suspension and steering system and new brakes. For 2001, there's a new highoutput diesel engine available. (An allnew Ram is coming out for 2002.)
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2001 Dodge Ram 3500, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 for less money than when it was new. If the 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 will have a very good resale value. This assumes that the 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
