Branded titles are harder to insure, finance and resell, so check the exact car first: run its VIN against the records.

How fast price falls with mileage

Measured on the 2018 2500, the model year with the most listings, so age does not mix in. Between the 25–50k and 200–225k bands the asking price falls 45%.

From the 25–50k band to 100,000 miles the asking price falls about 33%; the next 100,000 miles take off another 19%, so most of the loss comes early.
