I am wondering what everyone paid for their Dakota.  The guy who had mine wanted 4k for it, but when he heard the chain slapping around in the transfer case, he went to 3500.  It was a 96 Dakota Sport with CD player and tow package fender flares and sliding back glass.  The truck is a V6 five speed with 115k on it and the AC was still cold.  The truck runs out great since I put the new transfer case in it.  Was that a pretty good price?

Hey. I paid 1800 $ for mine. It's a 1993 5.2 liter V8 with short cab and box. Power windows and locks, 4X4, and cruise control. Everything works great. Front bumber is messed up and the paint is peeling on ther sides near the two- tone paint job. Other than that its a great looking truck. It had 157 K when i bought it and now it has close to 170. still runs great even with the high milage. Only thing that sucks is the ugly tan interior.

I gave $700 for mine,it's an 87 2wd standard cab a little rusty but not too bad.about $500 and some labor and she's running well.of course when I got her she had 3 different style wheels on and three different branded tires so I bought some wheels and tires to match you know the usual used car stuff...but I'm happy!

my dad got the 88 dak from my uncle about 6 years ago with 145,000kms on it for $2000. 

It got given to me 2 years ago when my dad passed away and then I started "fixin her up"  it's been a good truck. it now has only like 175,000kms on it. in the summer I will be putting either my 318 outta my parts 5th av. or my 360 outta my 82 ram. I havent decided yet. 

these trucks go forever

I bought my truck in Jan of '06.The stealership wanted $8,000 (yea... right!), they lowered it to $6,000 after a few hours of talking. I rushed into the sale because I was leaving the next day to go back to training for the Air Force, and wanted a vehicle waiting for me when I got done. Otherwise I would have tried to talk them down even more.
1996 Dakota SLT, 3.9L, automatic, 4x4, two-tone paint (flame red is the primary), 10 inch rear brakes, 8-1/4" rear axle, 3.55 axle ratio, limited slip, sliding back window, tinted windows, power locks windows and mirrors (elephant chrome mirrors), A/C worked until my accident, instrument cluster with the tachometer, the chrome front and rear bumpers, 22 gallon fuel tank, I even have power rack and pinion steering which amazingly looks like recirculating ball (which, if you have a 4WD, you don't have rack and pinion) . The only noted "mod" on the truck was the spray on bed liner.
Truck is running very well. Interior is in great condition, and the exterior is as perfect as a 10 year old truck from the north could be (minor rust starting on bottom of drivers door, and the all too common rear bumper rust).

i bought mine new in 1989, $17500.00.  its got 42000 miles on it now, have really only used it for 4x4 fishing trips, but just put a new motor in a 72 landcruiser so now the dak will be my daily driver and the landcruiser will become the off road vehicle. the dakota has had brake work,shocks, thermostat, dimmer switch, new convertible canvas, and will be getting the origional plug wires replaced this weekend, other than that its all origional.

I bought mine in late August 06, for $400. I have replaced the tailgate, and removed the horrible carpet. '88 5spd manual. It runs great, hardly any rust, but she will go to the body shop and get some dents out, and a new paint job...a new thermostat will be in tomorrow, and maybe i can finally have heat

Oh yea.  There are great deals out there on new trucks (but I don't like to make payments).

Might be he added the doc fees to the loan amount. At least thats what we did on my truck.
