#14 of 43 RE: considering purchase... by inte Jan 11, 2004 (7:35 pm)
desertrose1 -   $13500 is over blue book, so I guess you would just have to consider the condition of the vehicle and the cost of the extras - also, it's decked out for off-road - are you going to be using it off-road? If not, no need to pay for the extras. The point your mechanic had about it's previous off-road use is well-taken - as long as your mechanic is confident that the trans & drivetrain is in good shape, I guess that's a good sign. Check the ball joints!!! There is a current investigation by the NHSTA regarding Dakota/Durango ball joints.   I have a '98 Dakota Club Cab SLT 4x4 with a front guard, carpeted 12-v wired shell, upgraded shocks, and upgraded XM/CD stereo/speakers that unfortunately, I'm thinking about selling. I purchased the truck new & have had no major problems - runs like a top - kids are getting bigger though & I'm considering upgrading to a Quad-Cab. Only complanint I really have is a mixed one - I got the 3.9L V6 instead of the 8 - I miss the power of the V8, but the better fuel economy is worth it.
#15 of 43 04 Dakota Purchase by dak1 May 09, 2004 (2:18 am)
I just purchased an 04 Dakota SLT Quad 4x4. Options include 4.7 V8, 5 spd Auto Trans, Deluxe Conv Group, Power Conv Group, Anti-Spin Diff Axle, AM-FM Single CD, sliding rear window, fog lamps, Deep Molten Red / Silver Two Tone. The sticker was $29,360. With $3500 rebate and $400 recent grad discount I paid $22,973 plus tax, title, license. Got 5% financing for 60 months. So... How did I do??

I think you did pretty good, nearly $6400 off the list. Maybe you could've done better, maybe not. I'd be happy!   Best regards, Dusty

#18 of 43 2001 Dakota QC purchase by jamow2 May 23, 2004 (4:03 pm)
Last month, I purchased a 2001 Dak SLT Quad Cab, 3.9 V6, auto, 2WD, Dark Green, power everything, with 34000 miles for $12500. I faxed over this offer to the dealer, and they called me back accepting it. This price was well below Edmunds dealer price, so that is another reason I jumped on it. So far, I'm pleased. Had a few issues which the dealer took care of under warranty, which expires 2 months after I purchased it.
#19 of 43 04 Dakota Purchase.... by horn1 Aug 21, 2004 (6:44 pm)
How did I do guys?.....   2004 V6 Dakota Quad Cab SLT Plus (2x4) Sticker Price: $25,600 Negotiated down to $21500 ($1830 below invoice) Rebates: -$5000   New Price: $16500 (that's $9100 below the sticker)   We put $3000 down and got out the door with a loan around $14600 (TTL included). I'll sell my old truck for 5-6K, and refinance in a couple of months. Replies to this message: dustyk (Aug 22, 2004 8:22 am)

Replying to: horn1 (Aug 21, 2004 6:44 pm) Horn,   Well, in '03 I took a $23,480 list Dakota Club Cab Sport Plus to $17,400. Your list was higher and you got below my price, so from my vantage point you did pretty darn well!   Good luck with the new Dak.   Best regards, Dusty
