Is 75,000 miles on a 2009 too high to consider purchase?

What do you have estimated as trade in value for it? Nada and Kelley.
At first glance that seem pretty high for 75k miles and it's 3 yrs old.
Go thru and book price it at trade value with the major pricers, kelley, Nada and etc. Your low offer should start a little above trade in value.

The trade in value is 33,725....but we are becoming a little annoyed by the dealership so we may just forget it. I requested pictures of any and all flaws this vehicle has since we would be buying it sight unseen and just keep getting the runaround. Something tells me this truck photographs really well from a distance and not up-close....ha-ha....we found another one that is absolutely perfect, but it is equally as far and it is by owner. My job today is to find out how difficult it would be to arrange private transport for it to get it to us! Anyone have any experience with that?

I would not recommend buying a higher mileage vehicle sight unseen. You really need to look around under the hood at the fluids and belts etc... to see if it was taken care of. There are companies out there that will do a pre purchase inspection for you. Then you would need to add the inspection price and shipping price in to the purchase price. I would be patient and wait until the right truck becomes available in your area.

I agree with MDTAHOE 100%. Then you can avoid buyers remorse. If I were spending $30 + K, I want to touch and feel it first for my own, before I dropped that amount.
With gas prices increasing, the probability of a local used unit will increase.
