Good Deal? - 10/26/2007 7:56:39 AM    xx216xx   Posts: 1 Joined: 10/26/2007 Status: offline Hi, I'm currently looking at buying a red 06 Dakota R/T with 10k for $18,300 and was wondering some things about the trucks. As far as looks, comfort, and power I like the truck, but would like some more practical info. I couldn't really find anything on popular complaints mechanically except that they seem to cut off every now and then when coming to a stop. But I was wondering if there are any drive train or engine issues with these. When I was test driving it, it seemed to have a slight thump when starting from rest, but I wasn't sure if I was imagining things. Anyone else experience this? What about resale value? Do they seem to hold their value decently or is it horrendous? I read some reviews on the base dakota and people were pissed about the resale value, is this the same with the r/t? Seems to me like they would hold their value decently. Anyways, any info or being pointed in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks. Post #: 1
