    Do a rig dig report ..also do a dyno...if that is good I wouldn't pay that for a day cab...offer like $7500...see where he's at but have a number in your head that's a final ...let's say $9000....stick with your number

    Check what the sellers definition of brand new is. I've heard lots of guys label used stuff brand new just because it is new to them.

    10k. We all know maintenance in your first year could run 10k plus.

    If it's everything he claims it is I would say the price isn't to far off. A nice daycab will fetch a good dollar.

    My honest opinion? It is 14 years old. Regardless of the amount of maintenance and "new things" that's been fixed on it or replaced.. it is a old truck. Truck parts become obsolete/rare or very hard to find.. ect.

    On the old truck you can spend $30k and it will outlast the new truck, which costs $150k

    I wonder how hard the front was hit...

    No way I would pay $15K for it, maybe $6k
