 Subject: '93 Dakota?
IP: Logged
Message:
Hey all...
I'm currently shopping for a used truck. Leading my list at the moment (ie, I'm going to buy it if there's no show stoppers when my mechanic checks it out monday) is a '93 Dakota, extended cab, magnum V6, automatic, 2WD, 87K miles, bucket seats, and a camper shell. The interior is in darn near perfect condition, and the exterior is close, except for a few minor paint chips. I've heard the transmissions tend to give problems in these vehicles, but this one had the tranny replaced 4 mo's ago.
Anything I should be aware of about these vehicles before I put down my money on one? The asking price is $5K. This sound like a reasonable deal?

Sounds like a good deal. My 95 has 82k and is a 4x4 but the book value is over 13k so the price is right on yours.
If it checks out mechanically, I would take it. Get the warranty paperwork for the tranny rebuild though for insurance.

I just bought a 96' Dodge Dakota with 41k mile on it. It was in mint condition. I only paid $4995 for it. It was a great deal though. It had nothing wrong with it. Here are some details below:

I have almost the exact same truck with the only difference being I have the 4X4 version and love it. I got it 4 years ago and the only problem I had was the pressure relief valve on the A/C blew oil and freon all over the engine compartment, got it fixed under the extended warranty that I got when I bought the truck. If your mechanic finds nothing wrong HAPPY TRUCKIN.

My '93 CC V6 AT has over 145K and never had any tranny problems. Had to change the Water pump once
Oil chg every 3K - still getting 19.7 mpg every week
A good investment IMO

Thanks for the input!
I just got back from the mechanic with the vehicle, and there were a couple of fairly minor things found, but no show-stoppers (no 9 year old truck is going to be in perfect shape!). Looks like everything is set to finalize the deal this afternoon :).
