put a dakota and a honda together in a wreck, and the dakota becomes unsafe
for the honda driver :).
        if you want a deal on a dakota, there is a 98 dak sport 2wd v8 (red) w/ 7k
miles here in VA that a used car salesman was trying to sell me .. they
were asking 21k (hah!), bluebook on it is 19.5k (i believe), and so far
i've talked him down to 17.4k . and i'm sure that he can go lower. i'd get
it, cept that i just bought a new white 99 dak sport plus 4x4 (5spd v8 of
course ;) for slightly more than that. (and that's how i know he'll go
lower than 17.4k)
well best of luck to ya.
