Well, I'm finally in a situation with enough money on hand to go looking
for a Dakota this weekend. I thought I'd run my current options by you
folks and see if you have any suggestions on what to look for/weaknesses
of that model I should know about/general opinions. I'm looking for a
1992-2000 4wd V8 extended cab with either manual or automatic
transmissions, $3500-4000 range. Here's the ones I have marked for
perusal this weekend (one on Tuesday):
1995 Dodge Dakota Sport Club Cab 4X4 - $3995
VIN 1B7GG23Y9SW954124
"318 V8, 4X4, Tilt A/C Cruise Auto Trans Alum. Wheels"
Comments: Dealership, thus the high price, though cash talks. 133k when
sold at auction per Carfax.

----1998 dodge Dakota 4x4 - $3795 "v8 auto a/c 4x4 sport edition pw pl extra cab short box" Comments: Purple? Not sure on that one, it's the same color as my wife's van! Pictures: http://www.moparhowto.com/pictures/1998-sv-purple-01.jpg

92 Dodge Dakota 4X4 - $3500 "4X4 Clubcab Automatic, V8, PW,PL, tilt, cruise, air, reads only 83000 miles" Comments: Private seller, low miles, but I'm wondering how long it sat unused in storage. Pictures: http://www.moparhowto.com/pictures/otisorchards-1992.jpg

1999 dodge Dakota excab 4x4 - $3988 "4x4 v8 auto all power" Comments: Like the color at least. Pictures: http://www.moparhowto.com/pictures/1999-black-01.jpg

1999 DODGE DAKOTA - $3,850.00 "V8, auto, runs great. Financing available." Comments: Needs a bath. Like the brush guard. Pictures: http://www.moparhowto.com/pictures/1999-green-01.jpg

2000 Dodge Dakota - $3000 "v8 4x4, automatic, SLT package, new waterpump, new headlights, hit by deer on driver side door, aftermarket stereo w/sub" Comments: Private (female) seller, has a dent in the door from where a deer ran into the side of it (not unusual in these parts, my Dad had this happen to him twice in 2 months. Reaaally dumb deer around here). I have a friend with every auto body tool you can think of, so the dent is very low on my list of "problems". The price is appealing, though the mileage is not - 212k, supposedly mostly highway and she's said she's "babied it" and always changed the oil on or before time, though never believe the word of someone selling something. :) Pictures: http://www.moparhowto.com/pictures/2000-red-01.jpg http://www.moparhowto.com/pictures/2000-red-02.jpg http://www.moparhowto.com/pictures/2000-red-03.jpg http://www.moparhowto.com/pictures/2000-red-04.jpg http://www.moparhowto.com/pictures/2000-red-05.jpg http://www.moparhowto.com/pictures/2000-red-06.jpg
Thanks for your input,
Matt Beazer
