Dodge Cummins Envy

Ok,I've had Dodge Cummins envy for quite a while now. I currently drive a Dakota 4x4 with 4.7 liter gas engine. I tow a homebuilt 22' Tolman Skiff, and will also need to tow a horse trailer here and there. So it makes sense to me to bite the bullet and buy a Cummins outfitted Ram.

I've been looking at Craigslist for several years and have noticed that prices are coming down. Last year a 2001 2500 slt 4x4 would go in the $20k range. Now they are ranging in price from 12k to 16k. Either way the trucks are still being listed for more than KBB blue book prices.

Is KBB to be ignored, or is it reasonable accurate for what folks are selling and paying for Dodge Ram 2500 with cummins?

Seems like over $5 gallon diesel would make a lot of folks give up their trucks, and make dealers do just about anything to get them off their lots.
