I'm going to look at it later this afternoon, and will have a better idea and some pics as well.
I got a couple of texts after I made this thread...... The owner said that the back seats have never been sat in by anyone, other than to clean the back window.

So I just bought the truck, going to pick it up on Monday.
It has 224K and a LTZ package, with a Curt 5th hitch in the back, locking rollup tonnue cover. Full length running boards, aftermarket exhaust, slight hail damage on the hood and hasn't been driven in winter since 2014, interior is immaculate, other than typical leather drivers seat.

Now my dilemma......... keep the 08 dually and sell my 10 2500HD, or Keep my 2500 and sell the 3500???

He may be confused if you have 2 different 3500's or are you considering just flipping this new 3500

Depending upon what you find for a camper you may want the 3500, or if you're just parking it at the lot you're renting and not moving it then maybe it doesn't matter as much.

Used trucks are crazy, I'm thinking of ordering a new 3500. My 2014 3500HD diesel has 110000km, the dealer wanted to buy it "outright" now for 56k or trade & get the tax credit on top of the 56k. I paid 64K + tax in 2014. All good if cashing out, I'm not so I still need to suck up the 100k plus to replace it......I'm struggling with that Ha! Dealers are order takers now, here is MSRP, that is price.......same as sleds Ha!

I'm on ten year cycle for new trucks, it runs under 4k per year for ownership. That is just the capital cost, no maintenance or major repairs such as motor & transmission. It has worked for me, each time I've upgraded to a higher model. I've also dodged the major bullet of repairs. This time I'm looking @ the Denali or equivalent should I switch brands, The 4k per year will go out the window this time if I move forward.

What dealer is offering that price
I have a 15 ltz 2500hd. Missing lane dept, cooled seats & dvd 130k. They only wanted to pay 50
All stock cold air intake, upgraded hid lights, fogs added 5th wheel hitch
Mr hunk I’m going to keep it now and upgrade suburban. Wont have as many options as can’t get them but it sees more daily use

Dmax prices are insane in Sk, The red truck apparently sold 58g.
