The 2008 Dodge Ram for buyers
No 2008 Dodge Ram is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2008 Dodge Ram is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 227 owner complaints on file, mostly about steering, suspension and electrical system. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Who the Ram suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Practical details
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Ram for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Ram is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Ask us
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2008 Dodge Ram from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2008 Dodge Ram for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the 2008 Dodge Ram
Does CarmaCars sell the 2008 Dodge Ram?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a 2008 Dodge Ram before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Does the 2008 Dodge Ram have recalls?
NHTSA lists 12 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
