Did you say $7,000? as in three zero's? Let me tell you this, I paid $6,000 for my 93 4x4 with 5.2 and auto but its a long bed/reg cab. It had about 98,000 miles on it plus it was an LE(like the SLT) with chrome trim, fender flares, power everything, etc. If you plan on getting a tow package and lift kit with that $7,000 then you have quite a task ahead of you. Then again, I live in California and everything seems more expensive out here. Let us know how you do and good luck!

i have a guy telling me that his dakota "turns over a few times before it starts"
could this be the 'Battery Feed Wire to the Fuel Pump and ASD Relay' problem that i've read about?

its a 1994 SLT V8 4x4 club cab - 83000 miles - $5000

thanks

It could just need new plugs and wires, I bet the wires have never been replaced and it's possible the plugs are in the same boat. That seems like a good price otherwise, is it beat up or something?

I woudl go with cap and rotor along with the plugs and wires. ALso a little fuel injector cleaner the first few tanks. If it still has factory battery, I would think about replacing the battery as well.
