UP FOR AUCTION IS A NICE CLEAN 52,000 MILE LIMITED EDITION 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT QUAD CAB 4X4 DAYTONA EDITION PICK UP TRUCK #05952 .....IF YOUR LOOKING AT THIS AUCTION THEN YOU PROBABLY KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT THESE SPECIAL EDITION PICK UP'S. BEFORE I GET INTO A LONG AND VERY SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION, LET ME START BY TELLING YOU THAT THESE DAYTONA'S WERE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR 2 YEARS AND WERE AVIALBLE IN "2" COLORS AND SEVERAL CONFIGURATIONS FROM THE DAYTONA REGULAR CAB IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE TO THE REGULAR CAB WITH 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND THE QUAD CAB OR 4 DOOR MODEL IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE AND OF COURSE THE TRUCK YOU SEE HERE WHICH WAS THE TOP OF THE LINE 2005 DAYTONA SLT QUAD CAB WITH 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT IS DOCUMENTED THAT THERE WERE JUST OVER 11,000 TOTAL DAYTONA EDITION TRUCKS PRODUCED IN VARIOUS BODY STYLES, COLORS AND 2 OR 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THIS BRIGHT SILVER METALLIC 2005 DODGE DAYTONA QUAD 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS 1 OF JUST 1,258 PRODUCED WHICH IN MY OPINION NOT ONLY MAKES THIS A VERY SHARP TRUCK WITH WONDERFUL OPTIONS AND STUNNING GOOD LOOKS BUT ITS ALSO A RARE TRUCK. I BELIEVE THAT ANY VEHICLE WITH PRODUCTION OF JUST 1,258 UNITS IS FAIRLY RARE ALTHOUGH THIS MAY NOT MEAN MUCH TO YOU IF YOUR JUST LOOKING FOR A NICE TRUCK TO DRIVE BUT WHY NOT DRIVE A TRUCK THAT WILL SURELY HAVE A DIEHARD FOLLOWING AND CERTAIN COLLECTIBILITY IN YEARS TO COME? THESE TRUCKS ALREADY HAVE A LOYAL FOLLOWING AND THERE ARE SEVERAL WEBSITES DEVOTED SPECIFICALLY TO THESE RARE SPECIAL EDITION DODGE TRUCKS. THESE TRUCKS ARE A LIMITED PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE PACKAGE WITH THE AWESOME 5.7 HEMI ENGINE MAKING 345 HORSEPOWER WITH THE 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND 3.92 REAR AXLE RATIO COMBINED WITH THE SPECIAL PERFORMANCE SCOOPED HOOD SHARED ONLY BY THE DODGE SRT10'S....THE DAYTONA EDITION ALSO HAS THE SPECIAL DAYTONA REAR SPOILER AND STRIPES REMINISCENT OF THE 1969 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA. THIS DODGE DAYTONA ALSO HAS THE FACTORY TUNED BORLA EXHAUST AND 20" CHROME CLAD ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS WITH PERFORMANCE TIRES. THIS PACKAGE ALSO INCLUDED BODY COLORED GRILL AND SPECIAL FRONT FASCIA WITH FOG LIGHTS, RUNNING BOARDS, SPECIAL BODY COLORED DASH CENTER WITH THE SPECIAL EDITION UNIT NUMBER "DAYTONA 05952"...... THESE DAYTONA'S WERE AVAILABLE IN 2 COLORS, ONE OF WHICH YOU SEE HERE IN BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT SILVER METALLIC OR THE GO-MANGO WHICH IS A BURNT ORANGE COLOR. BOTH COLORS ARE THROWBACK'S TO DODGE'S OPTIONAL COLORS OFFERED IN THE LATE 60'S. THIS SPECIAL EDITION DODGE DAYTONA IS 1 OF JUST 1,258 BRIGHT SILVER METALLIC QUAD CAB 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCKS BUILT AND WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE IN THE GARAGES OF BOTH DODGE TRUCK ENTHUSIAST AS WELL AS COLLECTORS. PERSONALLY I LOVE THE REASON THAT MY BROTHER-IN-LAW PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW AND THAT WAS JUST TO FLAT OUT ENJOY DRIVING SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND THAT HE DID WITH 52,360 TROUBLE FREE MILES. THIS 2005 DODGE DAYTONA QUAD CAR PICK UP WAS PURCHASED NEW AT REEDMAN-TOLL DODGE IN LANGHORNE PA. ON NOVEMBER 22, 2005 BY MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AND USED AS HIS PERSONAL VEHICLE FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS ONE OF THE OWNERS OF A SMALL BUSINESS AND THE DAYTONA WAS PURCHASED NEW ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER TRUCKS WHICH WERE TO BE USED FOR THE BUSINESS BUT THE DAYTONA WAS ALWAYS HIS PERSONAL TRUCK AND USED AS HIS TRANSPORTATION. SURE IT WOULD GO OUT FOR THE OCCASIONAL BUSINESS ESTIMATE BUT WAS NEVER "WORKED" LIKE THE OTHER TRUCKS. LETS FACE IT GUYS, THIS IS NOT EXACTLY WORK TRUCK MATERIAL. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW ALWAYS HAD INTERESTING VEHICLES FROM THE TIME HE FIRST SHOWED UP COURTING MY LITTLE SISTER SOME 25 + YEARS AGO. HE LIKES TO DRIVE INTERESTING VEHICLES AND HAS ALWAYS PURCHASED NEW VEHICLES THAT WERE A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING THAN YOUR AVERAGE CAR OR A TRUCK, REST ASSURED IT WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING COOL AND PERFORMANCE ORIENTED AND THIS DAYTONA WAS JUST THE RIGHT COMBINATION FOR HIM WITH ITS 5.7 HEMI- 345HP ENGINE WITH 4 DOORS AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE ALONG WITH ALL OF ITS COMFORT OPTIONS AND OF COURSE ITS OUTSTANDING EYE APPEAL. KEEP IN MIND THAT HE HAS 2 YOUNG DAUGHTERS AND THERE HAD TO BE SOME ROOM IN THE TRUCK JUST IN CASE HE DECIDED TO TAKE THE GIRLS ALONG WITH HIM ALTHOUGH I ASSURE YOU WAS A RARITY AS THIS WAS NOT HIS ONLY VEHICLE. LIKE I SAID, HE LIKES INTERESTING VEHICLES AND WAS ALWAYS INTO DRIVING CARS OR TRUCKS THAT NOT ONLY LOOKED GREAT BUT COULD PERFORM JUST AS GOOD AS THEY LOOKED. THIS TRUCK IS NICELY OPTIONED WITH EVERYTHING YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM SPECIAL EDITION VEHICLE FROM ITS POWER STEERING, 4 WHEEL POWER DISC BRAKES, POWER WINDOWS, POWER DOOR LOCKS, POWER SEATS, POWER MIRRORS, AM-FM CD STEREO, TILT WHEEL, CRUISE CONTROL, POWER MIRRORS, OVERHEAD CONSOLE, FULL INSTRUMENTATION AND SO MUCH MORE! THE TRUCK IS VERY NICE AND CLEAN INSIDE AND HAS THE BUCKET SEATS UP FRONT ALONG WITH THE LARGE STORAGE CONSOLE IN THE MIDDLE WHICH ALSO DOUBLES AS AN ARMREST OR EVEN A THIRD SEAT IF FOLDED UPRIGHT. IT ALSO SERVES AS A VERY COOL STORAGE COMPARTMENT WITH SEVERAL COMPARTMENTS OF VARIOUS SIZES....JUST A WELL THOUGHT OUT THIRD SEAT/CONSOLE. THERE ARE SEVERAL NICELY HIDDEN COMPARTMENTS IN THIS TRUCKS LIKE THE FOLD OUT ADJUSTABLE CUP HOLDERS AND OF COURSE AN ASHTRAY WHICH WAS NEVER USED AS THIS IS A NON SMOKERS VEHICLE AND WAS NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER SMOKED IN!!!!! THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL OUTLETS FOR CHARGING YOUR ELECTRONIC DEVICES FROM THE ORIGINAL LIGHTER TO A SECONDARY OULET ON THE DASH TO A THIRD OULET THAT IS IN THE TOP OF THE CONSOLE STORAGE COMPARTMENT....PERFECT FOR CHARGING YOUR CELL PHONE OR POWERING YOUR NAVIGATION SYSTEM OR YOUR DVD PLAYER, GAMES OR WHATEVER YOU MIGHT NEED. THE SEATS ARE POWER OF COURSE AND ARE QUITE COMFORTABLE. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW, MY BROTHER-IN-LAW GAVE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION TO LEATHER SEATS BUT THEN MY SISTER QUICKLY REMINDED HIM OF JUST HOW HOT AND UNCOMFORTABLE LEATHER SEATING CAN BE ON THE HOT SUMMER DAYS SO THE VERY TASTEFUL AND EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE DARK SLATE GRAY PREMIUM CLOTH SEATS WERE THE OBVIOUS CHOICE. LEATHER IS NICE, DONT GET ME WRONG BUT IT JUST MADE MORE SENSE TO GO WITH THE CLOTH SEATS WITH OUR HOT SUMMERS. HAVE YOU EVER SAT IN A HOT VEHICLE WITH DARK LEATHER SEATS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE SUN ALL DAY? OUCH!!!! THE FRONT SEATS ARE JUST SUPER NICE AND AS COMFORTABLE AS THEY GET...THE FRONT SEATS ARE OPTIONAL RECLINING SEATS AND ARE POWER OPERATED AS WELL AND THE REAR SEATS ARE QUITE COMFORTABLE FOR YOUR PASSENGERS. THERE IS ALSO A NICE OVERHEAD CONSOLE WITH INDIVIDUAL COURTESY LIGHTING AS WELL AS HAVING GAS MILEAGE READINGS, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AND MORE. THE SUN VISORS HAVE LIGHTED MIRRORS FOR THE LADIES OR FOR ANY OF US FOR THAT MATTER. THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS ARE QUITE HANDSOME WITH THE DAYTONA BADGING ON THE FRONT DOOR PANELS AS WELL AS CONTINUEING WITH THE EXCELLENT USE OF SPACE WITH STORAGE AT THE BOTTOM OF BOTH FRONT DOOR PANELS. THE REAR DOORS ARE FITTED WITH THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK SYSTEM WHICH I BELEIVE TO BE STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON THESE DODGE TRUCKS. DODGE DID A WONDERFUL JOB OF USING THE INTERIOR SPACE TO NOT ONLY ADD COMFORT OPTIONS AND STORAGE SPACE BUT THEY ALSO MADE NO COMPROMISE ON SEATING COMFORT FOR FRONT OR REAR PASSENGERS WITH THIS INTERIOR DESIGN. THEY ARE QUITE IMPRESSIVE TO SAY THE LEAST. THE INTERIOR IN THIS TRUCK IS EXCEPTIONALLY NICE WITH LITTLE TO NO WEAR OR AT LEAST NOTHING THAT I WAS ABLE TO SEE AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK. THE SEATS SHOW NO SIGNS OF ANY DAMAGE, TEARS, RIPS, STAINS OR PROBLEMS OF ANY KIND. THE CARPETING IS VERY NICE. ALL OF THE DOOR PANELS ARE EXTREMELY NICE. THE HEADLINER IS BEAUTIFUL WITH NO RIPS OR STAINS. THE DASH IS BEAUTIFUL WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS, NO DAMAGE OR CRACKS...ALL INSTRUMENTATION WORKS AS IT SHOULD. ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES WORK PROPERLY. THE STEERING WHEEL IS NICE AND THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED CRUISE CONTROL WORKS AS IT SHOULD AS DOES EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS DAYTONA SLT QUAD CAR 4X4 TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN WELL KEPT SINCE DAY 1 WITH ALL OIL CHANGES DONE RELIGIOUSLY EVERY 3,000 MILES. THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE RUNS VERY WELL AND HAS A WONDERFUL SOUND THROUGH THE SPECIAL FACTORY BORLA EXHAUST WITH THE TWIN CHROME EXHAUST TIPS THAT EXIT FROM BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL. THE ENGINE MAKES PLENTY OF POWER AND WAS QUITE A SURPRISE TO ME WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK OUT AND DROVE IT FOR A WEEK IN PREPARATION FOR THIS EBAY LISTING. I WOULD NOT WANT TO LIST ANYTHING THAT I HAD NOT PERSONALLY DRIVEN AND ENJOYED AND SO I INSISTED THAT THE TRUCK BE LEFT WITH ME TO USE AS NEEDED TO PROPERLY REPRESENT MY FINDINGS WHEN THE TIME TO LIST THE TRUCK CAME. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AT JUST HOW COMFORTABLE AND SMOOTH THE RIDE WAS IN THIS RATHER TOUGH LOOKING 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. IT RUNS DOWN THE ROAD AS NICE AS YOU COULD HOPE FOR AND THEN SOME. AS I SAID THE ENGINE RUNS GREAT, SOUNDS AWESOME AND ESPECIALLY UNDER A LITTLE HEAVY ACCELERATION...MAN THIS BABY SOUNDS GOOD AND PULLS VERY STRONG THROUGH ALL OF THE GEARS AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FLAWLESSLY. THE TRUCK HANDLES QUITE WELL FOR A 4 DOOR 4X4 AND HANDLES THE CURVES IN THE ROAD AS WELL AS ANY TRUCK IVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO DRIVE. THERE WERE NO UNUSUAL SQUEAKS OR RATTLES FROM THE TRUCK AND JUST NOTHING THAT REALLY STOOD OUT AS A ISSUE OF ANY KIND. THE TRUCK IS RIDING ON A FAIRLY NEW SET OF FIRESTONE DESTINATION TIRES AT ALL FOUR CORNERS WHICH IS THE TRUCKS SECOND SET OF TIRES. THE FIRST SET OF TIRES WORE QUITE WELL AND DID NOT NEED REPLACING UNTIL THE TRUCK HAD NEARLY 43,000 MILES. THE TRUCK ALWAYS RAN COOL AND ALWAYS MAINTAINED STRONG OIL PRESSURE. THE GAS MILEAGE WAS ACTUALLY FAIRLY GOOD WHEN I DROVE THE TRUCK UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS BUT WOULD USE A LITTLE MORE AS EXPECTED WHEN UNDER HEAVIER ACCELERATION OR AT LONG STRETCHES DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. I SET OUT TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND GIVE IT A GOOD WORK OUT AND I DID JUST THAT. IT WAS DRIVEN EVERYWHERE FROM AROUND TOWN TO A GOOD RUN UP THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE AND I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THE TRUCK PERFORMED WELL AND DROVE QUITE NICE UNDER ALL CONDITIONS. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER AND IS EASY TO USE WITH THE SIMPLE PULL OF THE SHIFT HANDLE MOUNTED ON THE FLOOR. THE 4X4 WORKS FINE WITH NO ISSUES. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS NICE AND CLEAN AND VERY ORIGINAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BASIC MAINTAINENCE ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED SUCH AS OIL, OIL FILTERS, AIR CLEANER ELEMENTS AND A REPLACEMENT BATTERY WAS INSTALLED OVER THE WINTER. THE BRAKES WERE ALL REPLACED AT 49,000 MILES. THE BIG 5.7 HEMI ENGINE MAKES NO UNUSUAL NOISES, USES NO OIL AND DOES NOT SMOKE OR HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. ITS JUST A WELL KEPT ORIGINAL ONE DRIVER TRUCK FROM NEW AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED AS NEEDED. THE EXTERIOR OF THIS DAYTONA IS A REAL TREAT. THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF THE COOLEST TRUCKS I HAVE EVER SEEN OR DRIVEN AND HONESTLY, I NEVER GAVE THEM MUCH THOUGHT UNTIL I DROVE THIS TRUCK. BEFORE THIS TRUCK THE ONLY OTHER PERFORMANCE TRUCK THAT I HAD THE PRIVLEDGE TO DRIVE WAS A FRIENDS DODGE SRT-10 WHICH IS AN AMAZING VEHICLE.... 488 CUBIC INCH MONSTER WHICH WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A VIPER WRAPPED UP IN A TRUCK BODY. THAT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE BUT THE SRT-10 WAS NOT EXACTLY DAILY DRIVER MATERIAL AND THIS DAYTONA IS AND QUITE COMFORTABLE AT ANY SPEED AND UNDER ALL CONDITIONS. THIS IS ONE VERY SHARP TRUCK AND IS NOT ONLY AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO DRIVE BUT I JUST LOVE LOOKING AT THIS THING. ITS JUST WAY COOL ALL THE WAY AROUND. THE EXTERIOR LOOKS VERY NICE WITH ALL OF ITS FACTORY ORIGINAL PAINT. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY PAINT WORK DONE....ALL FACTORY ORIGINAL. AFTER LOOKING IT OVER VERY CAREFULLY, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO FIND A COUPLE OF VERY MINOR SCRATCHES AND THERE IS A LITTLE DING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE REAR BUMPER WHICH WAS CAUSED WHEN MY BROTHER-IN-LAW WAS PARKING THE TRUCK IN A GARAGE THAT HE WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH AND THERE WAS A SMALL PARKING POLE THAT HE LITERALLY BUMPED INTO AND THEREFORE THE LITTLE DING IN THE BACK BUMPER AS WELL AS A CHIP IN THE PAINT ON THE BACK BUMPER. I FOUND ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER ISSUES ON THIS TRUCK OF ANY CONCERN AND I GAVE IT A PRETTY GOOD LOOKING OVER! THEN I WASHED IT BY HAND AND THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN WASHING A TRUCK AND DRYING IT BY HAND TO GET A REALLY GOOD LOOK AT A VEHICLES BODY OR DAMAGE THAT YOU MIGHT NOT NORMALLY PICK UP ON. I FOUND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OUTSIDE OF A FEW MINOR SCRATCHES WHICH WOULD LIKELY POLISH OUT... NO DENTS OR DINGS THAT I AM AWARE OF AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT COULD CREATE ANY CONCERN FOR ANYONE WHO MIGHT HAVE SOME INTEREST IN THIS DAYTONA PICK UP. THE TRUCK IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH THE ORIGINAL DODGE FACTORY BEDLINER WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE TRUCK SINCE NEW SO NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ANY DAMAGE OR SCRATCHES IN THE BED AS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROTECTED FROM DAY 1. THE EXTERIOR SHOWS QUITE WELL WITH NICE ORIGINAL GAPS ON ALL OF THE BODY PANELS. THE DOORS ALL OPEN AND CLOSE AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE GLASS IS ALL NICE AND CLEAN WITH NO CRACKS, SCRATCHES OR ANY DAMAGE. THE POWER OPTIONS ARE ALL IN EXCELLENT WORKING CONDITION AS I GAVE THEM ALL A SERIOUS WORKOUT TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANYTHING THAT SHOULD BE REPORTED TO POTENTIAL BUYERS. I FOUND NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER! THE ORIGINAL FACTORY CHROME CLAD 20" WHEELS ARE ALL IN GOOD CONDITION AND AS MENTIONED EARLIER, THE TIRES ARE ALL LIKE NEW. I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS TRUCK GUYS. ITS A GOOD ORIGINAL ONE OWNER, ONE DRIVER 52,260 MILE TRUCK THAT WILL LIKELY HAVE A FEW MORE MILES PUT ON THE TRUCK BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS. KEEP IN MIND THAT ITS UNDER MY CARE UNTIL THE END OF THE AUCTION SO I MAY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING THIS COOL TRUCK TO RUN AROUND IN FOR A FEW MORE DAYS. REST ASSURED IT WILL BE LOVINGLY CARED FOR WHILE IN MY CARE. JUST A FEW MORE THINGS BEFORE I STOP AND GET TO THE SPECIFICS OF THE TRANSACTION. THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THROUGH THE SMALL BUSINESS THAT MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AND HIS BUSINESS PARTNERS OWN AND OPERATE. I HAVE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION FROM THE ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER, ORIGINAL FINANCING PAPERWORK, ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL AND WARRANTY CARD, ORIGINAL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE CARD FROM CHRYSLER CORPORATION GIVEN TO ALL NEW VEHICLE BUYERS, ORIGINAL SALES CONTRACT, ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, ORIGINAL BUYERS ORDER, ORIGINAL OWNERS PACKET, ORIGINAL SALESMANS BUSINESS CARD, ORIGINAL MAINTENANCE LOG BOOK, ORIGINAL WARRANTY BOOKLET, ORIGINAL TIRE WARRANTY BOOKLET, NEW VEHICLE OWNER RIGHTS BOOKLET, SOME MAINTENANCE RECORDS, RECENT PA STATE INSPECTION REPORT, CLEAN AND CURRENT PENNSYLVANIA TITLE, ETC ETC ETC. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW BY THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNED AND OPERATED BY MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AND HIS BUSINESS PARTNERS AND WAS THEREFORE TITLED TO THE BUSINESS. RECENTLY THE BUSINESS DECIDED TO BUY SEVERAL NEW VEHICLES AND MY BROTHER-IN-LAW DECIDED THAT HE WANTED TO KEEP THE 2005 DODGE 1500 SLT QUAD CAB 4 WHEEL DRIVE DAYTONA EDITION FOR HIMSELF.....AFTERALL, IT HAD BEEN HIS PERSONAL VEHICLE SINCE NEW EVEN THOUGH IT WAS TECHNICALLY THE PROPERTY OF THE BUSINESS AND TITLED TO THE BUSINESS. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW WORKED SOMETHING OUT WITH HIS BUSINESS PARTNERS AND HE BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM THE BUSINESS AND WAS THEN TITLED TO HIM PERSONALLY. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THIS WAS NOT HIS ONLY VEHICLE AS HE HAS ALWAYS OWNED VERY INTERESTING NEW VEHICLES AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER. HE HAS OTHER FAIRLY NEW VEHICLES AS DOES HIS WIFE( MY LITTLE SISTER) SO THE DAYTONA WAS NOT A NECESSITY BY ANY MEANS. MY SISTER OWNS AND OPERATES HER OWN BUSINESS AS WELL AND SHE IS EXPANDING AND DOING SOME RENOVATIONS TO THE BUILDING THAT HER WELL ESTABLISHED BUSINESS OPERATES OUT OF AND IT WAS DECIDED THAT THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THE DAYTONA COULD CERTAINLY GO TO GOOD USE WITH THE CURRENT RENOVATION PROJECT SO THAT IS THE ONE AND ONLY REASON FOR THE SALE OF THIS TRUCK......OTHERWISE I BELIEVE MY BROTHER-IN-LAW WOULD CONTINUE TO ENJOY THE DAYTONA AS HE HAS SINCE OCTOBER 2005 WHEN HE PURCHASED IT NEW FROM REEDMAN-TOLL AUTO WORLD DODGE DIVISION WHICH IS ONE OF THE OLDEST AND LARGEST DEALERSHIP'S IN THE COUNTRY AND I BELIEVE TO BE THE SINGLE LARGEST NEW CAR DEALER ON THE EAST COAST. TO WRAP IT UP, THIS IS A VERY NICE AND SUPER CLEAN BRIGHT SILVER METALLIC 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT QUAD CAB DAYTONA EDITION 4 WHEEL DRIVE PICK UP TRUCK AND 1 OF JUST 1,258 PRODUCED AND IT HAS 52,360 MILES. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED AND DRIVEN BY THE SAME GUY SINCE NEW(MY BROTHER-IN-LAW) AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL LOVED AND CARED FOR. ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ON THIS TRUCK WORKS AS IT SHOULD. THE INTERIOR SHOWS LIKE NEW. THE FACTORY PREMIUM CD SOUND SYSTEM SOUNDS GREAT. THE FACTORY 5.7 HEMI ENGINE RATED AT 345 HORSEPOWER RUNS FLAWLESSLY AND THE ORIGINAL 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AS NEW. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WORKS AS IT SHOULD WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE EXTERIOR SHOWS VERY NICE WITH NO MAJOR PROBLEMS OR ISSUES. PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND YOU WILL SEE THAT I HAVE 10+ YEARS AS AN EBAY TRADER AND I TAKE MY EBAY FEEDBACK VERY SERIOUSLY.

THANK YOU.....TONY On Oct-01-10 at 19:19:53 PDT, seller added the following information: THANK YOU FOR THE INTEREST IN THE DODGE DAYTONA! I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT THE POWER WINDOWS, POWER LOCKS, TILT WHEEL, POWER SEAT, POWER MIRRORS, STEREO CD PLAYER, HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING ALL WORK JUST AS THEY SHOULD WITH VERY COLD FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING. THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OR OPTIONS IN THIS BRIGHT SILVER METALLIC 2005 DODGE DAYTONA 4X4 QUAD CAB SPECIAL EDITION PICK UP TRUCK! THIS TRUCK IS VERY NICE INSIDE AND OUT WITH NO SERIOUS DEFECTS. WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES IS WHAT YOU GET AND THE PICTURES ARE A VERY GOOD REPRESENTATION OF THE CONDITION OF THE TRUCK. THE BED IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH THE ORIGINAL DODGE BEDLINER THAT HAS BEEN IN THE TRUCK SINCE NEW. THIS IS A PRIVATELY OWNED TRUCK WITH A CLEAN CLEAR PENNSYLVANIA TITLE AND THE NEW OWNER WILL GET ALL OF THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION THAT CAME WITH THE TRUCK WHEN IT WAS SOLD NEW. THE ORIGINAL PAPERWORK SHOWS THIS TRUCK TO HAVE COST MY BROTHER-IN-LAW'S BUSINESS A TOTAL OF $43.564.80 WHICH INCLUDED THE COST OF FINANCING. THIS IS A WONDERFUL TRUCK TO GET IN AND DRIVE TODAY..... IT DRIVES BEAUTIFULLY AND IS VERY FAIRLY PRICED IN TODAY'S MARKET. THESE TRUCKS ARE LOW PRODUCTION LIMITED EDITION PERFORMANCE MODELS WITH THE GREAT LOOKING OLD SCHOOL STRIPE PACKAGE AS WELL AS THE LARGE REAR SPOILER AND THE AWESOME SCOOPED HOOD, SPECIAL BORLA TUNED EXHAUST WITH THE FACTORY CHROMED EXHAUST TIPS, 20" CHROME CLAD ALUMINUM WHEELS, BODY COLOR PAINTED GRILL AND BODY COLOR CENTER DASH PANEL WITH THE DAYTONA LIMITED EDITION NUMBER. THESE ARE JUST OUTRIGHT COOL IN SO MANY WAYS AND ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT THESE DAYTONA'S IS THAT EVEN WITH THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE THATS MAKING 345 HORSEPOWER COMBINED WITH THE 3.92 REAR AXLE RATIO AND THE 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THEY STILL MANAGE TO GET FAIRLY GOOD GAS MILEAGE.... ADD THE OPTIONAL 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND THE QUAD CAB AND YOU HAVE A TRUCK THATS NOT ONLY SPECIAL IN SO MANY WAYS BUT ITS CAPABLE OF BEING USED YEAR ROUND. COMPARE THIS DAYTONA WITH SOME OF THE OTHER SPECIAL PERFORMANCE EDITION TRUCKS THAT WERE PRODUCED BY OTHER MANUFACTURERS AND THE DAYTONA HAS IT ALL OVER THESE OTHER TRUCKS HANDS DOWN STRICTLY BECAUSE OF ITS ABILITY TO BE USED EVERYDAY IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO. MANY OF THE OTHER PERFORMANCE ORIENTED SPECIAL EDITION TRUCKS ARE STRICTLY 2 WHEEL DRIVE AND THEY ARE VERY LIMITED AS TO THEIR USES WITH MOST OF THE ATTENTION ON HORSEPOWER AND AESTHETIC APPEAL. LETS FACE IT GUYS, THERE ARE SOME REALLY COOL TRUCKS AVAILABLE THESE DAYS AND THERE WERE SOME SUPER COOL SPECIAL EDITION PERFORMANCE ORIENTED TRUCKS BUILT IN THE LAST DECADE BUT THERE WERE FEW OF THESE FAIRLY PRICY "SPECIAL EDITION PERFORMANCE EDITION" PICK UP TRUCKS THAT MADE SENSE FOR DAILY USE OR I SHOULD SAY YEAR ROUND USE. THATS WHERE I THINK THAT DODGE JUST GOT IT RIGHT WITH THE LIMITED EDITION RAM 1500 SLT DAYTONA QUAD CAB 4 WHEEL DRIVE. YOU NOT ONLY HAVE THE SCREAMING GOOD LOOKS AND THE EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE OF THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE BUT THESE TRUCKS OFFER COMFORTABLE SEATING FOR 6 AND HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO LIMITATIONS WHEN ITS COMES TO YEAR ROUND DRIVING. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS RIGHT THERE AT YOUR FINGER TIPS AND IS EASY ENOUGH FOR EVEN THE NOVICE TRUCK OWNER TO ENGAGE WITHOUT ANY PRIOR 4 WHEEL DRIVE EXPERIENCE. THE BED IN THIS TRUCK OFFERS ENOUGH ROOM TO GET JUST ABOUT ANY MOVING JOB DONE SHOULD THE OCCASION ARISE BUT SHOULD YOU NEED A FEW EXTRA FEET OF BED SPACE THEN THERE ARE SEVERAL OPTIONAL PIECES AVAILABLE THAT EXTEND YOUR LOAD SPACE AND ARE INSTALLED IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. THESE ARE JUST MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO THESE DODGE DAYTONA'S EQUIPPED WITH THE OPTIONAL QUAD CAB AND OPTIONAL 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THEY JUST MAKE SENSE. I DONT TAKE ANY OF THIS LIGHTLY AS I WAS SURE TO DO MY HOMEWORK BEFORE I DECIDED TO TAKE ON THE TASK OF LISTING THIS TRUCK FOR MY BROTHER-IN-LAW. I NOT ONLY INSISTED THAT I TAKE THE TRUCK FOR AT LEAST A WEEK SO I COULD REALLY FEEL THE TRUCK OUT AND SEE WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT AND DECIDE FOR MYSELF WHAT I FELT WERE ITS GOOD POINTS, BAD POINTS, ASSETS OR SHORTCOMINGS AND REST ASSURED I GAVE THE TRUCK AN AMPLE WORKOUT. DONT GET ME WRONG, I DID NOT BY ANY MEANS ABUSE THIS TRUCK BUT I MADE SURE THAT I DROVE THE TRUCK IN WHAT I FELT WERE NORMAL DAY TO DAY DRIVING CONDITIONS AROUND TOWN AND WAS SURE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK ON A FAIRLY LONG TRIP UP THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE TO VISIT WITH SOME FAMILY MEMBERS. I DROVE IT IN HEAVY BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC ON A FEW EXTREMELY WARM DAYS FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR AND I ALSO DROVE IT IN SOME NASTY RAIN STORMS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. I MADE SURE TO DO ENOUGH RESEARCH TO SATISFY MY OWN CURIOUSITY AS TO THE DAYTONA'S ALL AROUND PRACTICALITY AND IM HAPPY TO SAY THAT I FOUND NOTHING THAT WOULD KEEP ME FROM BUYING ONE OF THESE TRUCKS. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRUCK FROM ITS IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE AND THE NICE THROATY GROWL OF THE EXHAUST TO ITS SURPRISING ACCELERATION THROUGH THE POWER BAND AND THE EXCELLENT DECISIVE SHIFTS OF THE 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND ANOTHER BIG SURPRISE WAS THE HANDLING CAPABILITIES OF THIS TRUCK, ITS NOT A PORSCHE OR A CORVETTE ZO6 BUT A GREAT HANDLING PERFORMER FOR A 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT GAINED HIGH MARKS IN MY OPINION WAS THE COMFORT OF THE FRONT SEAT EVEN ON A LONG TRIP I DID NOT FEEL AS THOUGH I NEEDED TO GET OUT FOR A GOOD STRETCH AS THIS TRUCK PROVIDED ME A PLEASURABLE RIDE ON THE 2 HOURS DOWN THE TURNPIKE.....THE ARRANGEMENTS OF THE FULL ARRAY OF GAUGES WAS EASY ON THE EYES AND NICELY LIT WITH THE WHITE BACKGROUND WHICH MADE THINGS MUCH BETTER FOR THESE OLD EYES AND I LIKE A FULL SET OF GAUGES. DODGE COVERED IT ALL FROM THE LARGE SPEEDOMETER & TACHOMETER TO OIL PRESSURE AND WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGES TO AN AMP OR VOLTAGE GAUGE WHICH IS SOMETHING RARELY SEEN IN LATE MODEL VEHICLES. THERE WAS ALSO THE ADDITION OF THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE WHICH WAS A REALLY COOL PIECE IF YOUR INTO THESE TYPE THINGS WHICH TELLS YOU NOT ONLY WHAT YOUR GETTING AS FAR AS GAS MILEAGE GOES BUT ALSO LETS YOU KNOW JUST HOW MANY MILES YOU HAVE LEFT BEFORE YOUR LIKELY TO RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS OVERHEAD CONSOLE ACTUALLY HAD OTHER USES BUT HONESTLY, IM NOT MUCH OF A GADGET GUY SO I FOUND THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE'S LIGHTING TO BE MOST HELPFUL THING UP THERE. THE SEAT BELTS WERE EASY TO USE WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE FOUND TO BE A PAIN IN THE NECK WITH SOME OTHER TRUCKS AS YOU CAN SPEND SEVERAL MINUTES JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THEM SNAPPED TOGETHER AND THAT WAS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS DAYTONA....EASY TO FIND AND EASIER YET TO USE. THE HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS WERE SELF EXPLANATORY WHICH WAS A PLEASURE AS I HAVE FOUND SOME HEATER/AC AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS IN SOME VEHICLES TO BE AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. THE HEAT AND AC CONTROLS WERE WELL PLACED AND YOU DONT NEED A DEGREE IN ENGINEERING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE THEM. THEY WERE NOT ONLY EASY TO USE BUT EVERYTHING WORKED AS EXPECTED WITH NICE COLD AIR AND NICE PLACEMENT OF THE VENTS. THE POWER SEATS / RECLINING SEATS WERE ALSO EASY TO USE WHICH WAS ANOTHER NICE THING ABOUT THIS TRUCK ALTHOUGH IT DID TAKE ME A FEW MINUTES TO FIND JUST THE RIGHT SPOT WHERE I FELT AT HOME BEHIND THE WHEEL. AS FAR AS THE BACK SEAT GOES, WELL I CANT TELL YOU TOO MUCH AS ALL I DID WAS GO AND SIT IN THE BACK TO SEE IF IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR A GUY THATS 6'2" 220 LBS. TO GET COMFORTABLE BACK THERE. WHAT I FOUND IS THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET COMFORTABLE BUT IM NOT SURE I'D WANT TO SPEND 3-4 HOURS BACK THERE AS IM USED TO STRETCHING OUT AND IM ALWAYS THE DRIVER SO IT JUST FELT COMPLETELY FOREIGN FOR ME TO BE IN THE BACK SEAT AT ALL. I DID HOWEVER HAVE MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND 2 OF HER FRIENDS TAKE A TRIP WITH ME IN THE DAYTONA WHICH REQUIRED ONE OF THE GIRLS AND AN 18 YEAR GUY WHO WAS A FAIRLY BIG KID TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE TRUCK. THIS RIDE WAS ONLY 30 MINUTES OR SO BUT I WATCHED TO SEE HOW THEY LOOKED IN THE BACK SEAT AND WHEN I ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD ENOUGH ROOM BACK THERE, THEY BOTH REPLIED "PLENTY". THE TRUCK ALSO OFFERED EXCELLENT VISIBILITY FROM EVERY ANGLE WHICH WAS QUITE A SURPRISE AS I HAVE FOUND BLIND-SPOTS TO BE A PROBLEM IN MANY VEHICLES AND NOT JUST TRUCKS, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS DAYTONA. I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS SEEING EVERYTHING THAT I NEEDED TO SEE FROM THE FACTORY ELECTRIC MIRRORS AND THE REARVIEW MIRROR. AT NO TIME DID I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE MAKING LANE CHANGES ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DASH HAS A GREAT LAYOUT FROM THE GAUGES TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE STEREO CD PLAYER AND THE NICELY INTERGRATED FOLD OUT CUP HOLDERS WERE CONVENIENT AND TUCK AWAY NICELY WHEN NOT IN USE. THERE WERE MANY USES FOR THE CENTER CONSOLE WHICH MAKES FOR A NICE ARMREST AND DOUBLES AS A THIRD SEAT AS WELL WHEN FOLDED OPEN ...ALL THE WHILE UTILIZING EVERY SQUARE INCH OF THAT CONSOLE/3RD FRONT SEAT FOR VARIOUS STORAGE COMPARTMENTS INCLUDING A 3RD POWER SOURCE IN THE TOP COMPARTMENT. DODGE DID A WONDERFUL JOB ON THAT CONSOLE/ARMREST/THIRD FRONT SEAT/MULTI COMPARTMENT STORAGE BOX. I EVEN FOUND THE TRUCK TO BE EASY TO GET IN AND OUT OF WHICH IS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVE WITH SOME 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCKS BUT ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH THIS DODGE...AGAIN I WAS IMPRESSED...NOT ONLY EASY TO ACCESS BUT I DIDNT FEEL ALL BEAT UP AFTER EXITING THE TRUCK AFTER A 2 HOUR RIDE. I THINK IVE COVERED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF ON THE INTERIOR BUT IF I MISSED SOMETHING THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME OR EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. ON ANOTHER NOTE, I WAS SURPRISED AT THE AMOUNT OF ROOM IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. NOW I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY AROUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF MY OLDER VEHICLES AND WOULD OFTEN DO MY OWN TUNE-UP WORK AND OIL CHANGES AND GENERAL MAINTENANCE. THIS DODGE RAM 1500 DAYTONA 4X4 HAD LOTS OF ROOM UNDER THE HOOD SO IF YOUR INCLINED TO DO ANY OF YOUR OWN WORK OR BASIC PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE THEN I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM IN THIS SPACIOUS ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I PERSONALLY DO NOT DO ANY OF THE WORK ON MY NEWER VEHICLE BECAUSE I OPEN THE HOOD AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE THAT IM EVEN ABLE TO RECOGNIZE LET ALONE DO REPAIRS IF NEEDED. WITH EVERYTHING BEING COMPUTERIZED THESE DAYS, I JUST DONT BOTHER TO DO MUCH OF ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR OIL CHANGES AND OIL FILTER CHANGES OR CLEANING. I BELIEVE THAT MODERN TECHNOLOGY HAS SURPASSED MY LIMITATIONS BUT ASK ME TO DO A TUNE-UP OR CHANGE A WATER PUMP ON AN OLD DODGE POWERED BY A GOOD OLD 225 SLANT 6 OR ANYTHING ON AN OLD CARBURETED 318, WELL IM GOOD TO GO! THE POINT TO THIS PARAGRAPH IS THAT I WAS VERY SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH ROOM THERE WAS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AS IM USED TO SEEING THESE NEWER VEHICLES WITH EVERYTHING CRAMMED IN THERE AND VERY LITTLE ROOM. THIS 2005 DODGE DAYTONA HAS NEVER HAD ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES AND IS A TROUBLE FREE TRUCK AND IM SURE THAT IT WILL REMAIN THAT WAY FOR MANY YEARS TO COME IF TREATED PROPERLY. OVERALL I FOUND THIS TRUCK TO BE AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO DRIVE AND I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE DAYTONA'S OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT AND INTERIOR DESIGN. AS FAR AS THE EXTERIOR GOES, WELL I THINK ITS JUST A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK. I WISH THAT I WOULD HAVE HAD ACCESS TO SOME OF THE FORD AND CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE PACKAGE TRUCKS BUT I AM JUST ONE GUY WHO ENJOYS THE CAR HOBBY AND UNFORTUNATELY I DONT HAVE ACCESS TO THESE THINGS LIKE THE WRITERS OF CAR AND DRIVER OR MOTOR TREND.

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT THAT THE DODGE DAYTONA WOULD HAVE SCORED HIGH ON THEIR COMPARISONS! I THINK IVE COVERED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I POSSIBLY CAN ON THIS DAYTONA.

I SHOULD BE BUYING THIS TRUCK!On Oct-04-10 at 22:20:29 PDT, seller added the following information: This 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab Daytona 4x4 Limited Edition is an excellent value for anybody who would like to own a wonderful driving truck. The Truck just does everything right and there are absolutely no mechanical issues with the Truck and it can be driven anywhere confidently. The cosmetics are also very nice with the only issue being that little bump on the passenger side of the back bumper which can be left alone of you can choose to have it touched up by your local shop.... I assure you that its no big deal and wouldnt bother me in the least to leave it alone. There are a couple of very minor scratches which will likely come out with some polishing but other than these things, I cant think of any cosmetic issues. The Truck is just beautiful. Keep in mind that the day that these pictures were taken was just a week or so ago and the truck has not even been cleaned or detailed. I took the pictures just as the Truck was and Im sure it would have looked even nicer had I taken the time to give it a nice detailing. I just didnt feel the need as the truck is a good clean and very original 52,000 mile truck and you guys know the difference between a mess of a vehicle and a Nice Truck and this is a Nice Truck! Please call Tony 215-499-2693 with your questions or concerns. This auction ends on Thursday evening and keep in mind that I still reserve the right to end this auction early or to add a buy it now to the auction at anytime. Thanks again for all of the Phone Calls, Emails and especially for your Bids. Somebody will be the Trucks Happy New Owner by Thursday Night! Tony 215-499-2693On Oct-05-10 at 15:31:11 PDT, seller added the following information: THIS IS MY LAST REVISION TO BE MADE ON THIS AUCTION. I HAD A GUY EMAIL ME AND ASK ME IF THIS DAYTONA WAS "FLAWLESS". WELL GUYS ALL I HAVE TO SAY TO THIS IS THAT I HAVE OWNED MANY WONDERFUL CARS AND TRUCKS OVER THE LAST 4 DECADES INCLUDING MY SHARE OF NEW TRUCKS, NEW CARS, BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC CARS THAT WERE RESTORED TO AMAZINGLY HIGH STANDARDS AND STILL AFTER HAVING THE PLEASURE AND PRIVILEGE OF OWNING AND CARING FOR THESE MANY WONDERFUL VEHICLES, I STILL HAVE YET TO OWN ANYTHING THAT WAS "FLAWLESS" OR "PERFECT". THIS 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT QUAD CAB 4X4 DAYTONA EDITION IS 1 OF JUST 1,258 AND ITS 5 YEARS OLD WITH 52,000 MILES. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK AND IS ABSOLUTELY AS DESCRIBED IN THIS AUCTION...NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS.....ITS A USED 5 YEAR OLD DAYTONA AND IS A SPECIAL TRUCK BUT IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN 52,000 MILES SO OF COURSE IT SHOWS SOME WEAR BUT NOTHING UNUSUAL OR ABUSIVE. ITS A WONDERFUL TRUCK AND I WOULDNT HESITATE TO DRIVE THIS BABY ANYWHERE! KEEP IN MIND THAT THE TRUCK BOOKS OUT ANYWHERE FROM $19,100 TO $24,300 AND EVEN THE WHOLESALE PRICE IS HIGHER THAN THE RESERVE ON THIS TRUCK....SOMEBODY WILL GET A GREAT DEAL ON A NICE USED DAYTONA 4X4 WITH THE 5.7 HEMI AND WITH THE ONLY REAL ISSUE IN MY OPINION BEING THE SMALL AREA ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE REAR BUMPER WHICH HAS A SMALL DING WITH SOME PAINT CHIPPED FROM MY BROTHER-IN-LAW BACKING INTO A POLE IN A GARAGE THAT HE WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH. OTHER THAN THIS, I SEE NOTHING THAT IS AN ISSUE OR PROBLEM AND YOU WILL SEE FAR WORSE ON MANY OTHER LATE MODEL VEHICLES. THIS TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN A BODY SHOP AND HAS NEVER HAD ANY PAINT WORK OR ANY BODY DAMAGE OF ANY KIND. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. ITS A GREAT RUNNING AND EXCELLENT DRIVING TRUCK. THANKS AGAIN AND I HOPE IVE ANSWERED ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS. THE RESERVE IS VERY FAIR, IN FACT ITS PROBABLY THE BEST DEAL ON ONE OF THESE TRUCKS OUT THERE! On Oct-06-10 at 18:39:05 PDT, seller added the following information: This is a truly wonderful Daytona Pick Up Truck with its 5.7 Hemi that runs flawlessly and the Transmission works absolutely perfect as well. The Truck is in very good condition overall and absolutely everything in this Truck works as Originally intended by Chrysler! The 4X4 works fine, all Lights, all Power Options, Heater and Air Conditioning, Stereo CD Player, Power Seats, All Dash Lights, you name it, it works! Even the Cargo Light for the Bed Lights up from the Dash! The Interior is absolutely Beautiful with no unusual wear or signs of any abuse. Its just a very nice and clean, comfortable Truck. The Trucks exterior is very nice but as I said earlier, its been driven 52,000 Miles and although it shows itself nicely, its not brand new in the wrapper. It has light signs of use with your typical minor scratches which will likely polish out and of course there are some very minor nicks or chips which just can't be avoided when your out driving down the highway. Other than these things the only thing that bothers me in the slightest bit is the small ding on the back bumper along with the paint chips in the back bumper which occured when my brother-in-law backed into a parking lot pole in a parking lot that he was not familiar with. This is by no means the endof the world nor is it a big deal but its there and I wanted anybody with any interest to know. There is also a small crease in the very lower corners of the tailgate....again no big deal but they are there and they appear to be quite common on many pick-up trucks. If this were my truck then I would likely leave them alone but some of you might consider having the lower section of the tailgate painted at the body line that is about 3" from the very bottom of the tailgate and while your at it, you might paint the lower part of the rear bumper below the factory black pad and these things would definitely make an improvement on the truck although these things I mentioned might not bother you in the least or you might not even notice them as it is a rare pick up Truck but at the end of the day, its still a Truck and these things are not a big deal even to a picky guy like me.....stuff like this happens and if you choose to do so, they are easily corrected. My ebay feedback is very important to me and even those these things didnt really bother me, Im going to offer to give the high bidder a discount of $350 from their high bid to take care of these things should they decide to have them addressed. Like I said, you may choose to leave them alone but I wanted to make sure that you have that option and that I take my ebay feedback seriously enough to make this offer to all potential buyers. Either way, the high bidder will receive $350 off of their winning bid and they can do with the extra money whatever they choose. This is just typical of me being very anal, picky or whatever you'd like to call it and I wanted all potential buyers to know that I am looking out for your best interest and Im looking at this Truck hard enough so that you feel comfortable buying from me. I am literally looking at this Daytona as though I was looking at it for you! I dont want anybody to be disappointed in any way. I am a very fussy, picky car guy as Im sure you've figured out by now. I just wanted everybody to feel as though they were given every bit of information on this 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4X4 Limited Edition Daytona Pick Up Truck. I want anybody who is interested in this Beautiful Low Production Daytona to feel as though they received as much information as absolutely possible and that the seller not only went above and beyond the call of duty but that I also made sure that all potential buyers are treated fairly. I cant stress just how important it is to me that my ebay transactions go well. I strive for excellence and want this to be a great experience for both the buyer and seller. Thanks again for taking the time to read my very long and precise description and thank you for your very kind comments, emails, phone calls and especially for your bids. Please feel free to call me, Tony at 215-499-2693 and I will go over this Cool Daytona 4x4 Hemi Quad Cab with you from Bumper to Bumper and from Tires to Roof....literally every square inch of the truck will be covered if you take the time to call. Thanks again!
