Looking fpr an 06 crewcab 4x4 diesel for approx 30k (So Cal prices suck). Either way I came across one with 68k miles, which is a lil more than I wanted even though I know diesels will run forever its the rest of the truck. Either way I came to an interesting question I have been pondering and looking for input. The truck is a Certified Pre-owned which gives it a 12-month 12,000 mile bumper to bumper and it extends the powertrain to 5yr/100k miles. So even though it has more miles being CPO will give me more warranty. What do you guys think, look for lower miles or is CPO worth it. I am aware of the pricing in my area and this one seems on par with others. Thoughts?

if your willing to travel i bet i can find you a much better deal here in az. for 30K you can probably get into a lightly used lmm or a really really nice lbz with low miles.

just saying that it may be worth your while to shop craigslist here in phx az and the surrounding areas. your easily within a half days drive of here. plane ticked would be a couple hundred bucks and fuel going back and you will probably be around $500. that seems like a small price to pay to save a few thousand and maybe get a nicer truck.

hey can u send me the link to the ad from the first one at the dealer? Also, I looked on craigslist here in So Cal but I could not find any. Any idea how difficult it is to get a truck registered in another state (CA mainly). Thanks. I am sticking with an 06 or 07 without emissions crap.
