A friend of mine has a real nice late-model truck he'd like to sell and is wondering what it's worth. The famous local dealer offered him a price and then on inspecting it took off large amounts from their offer due to what sound to me like very small problems. They're an outfit that basically wants to take in trades on new trucks but isn't very interested in buying used ones outright.

Anyway, here's the description. We'd appreciate any ideas of what it might really be worth in a private sale:
2005 Dodge Quad Cab P/U
4 Door, 1/2 ton 4WD
V8 gas engine (doesn't know displacement)
Camper shell
81K miles on truck
~10K miles on snow tires, plus a set of summer tires on rims with maybe 15K miles on them.

The dealer's inspection listed the following faults for which they took $3000 off their original guesstimate:
Radiator leak (owner says there's no sign of a leak and fluid has never needed topping off)
Pinion seal leak (owner didn't know what a pinion seal was)
Worn tie rods (he says the steering feels very tight to drive it but has not jacked it up to check himself)
slight damage to a bumper
very slight damage to one seat
"rust" (unspecified where or how much. Doesn't look rusty to me)

He has a price in mind that he'd like to get for it, but I have no idea if it's high, low, or spot on.
