Here's a couple more things to think about: The Cumminss for 10k-12k is going to be a long way from new - if you think you've spent money on your Toy, wait till you start PAYING someone to fix your late model Dodge. Diesel repairs are way expensive and a lot tougher. A friend just dumped his when it got to a 100k miles cuz the repairs were eating him alive (he bought a 68 Suburban 3-dr for a daily driver). Also the newer you buy, the harder they are to fix yourself and the DD miles pile up pretty fast. Not to mention, higher insurance costs, etc. Good luck.
