Been there done that lol. Im just saying be very patient, you should be able to find a truck like that for 8500-9000$ american. I wouldn't want to buy something that comes w/ a problem at 60k miles. Just not what I'm looking to get, im going through the same thing as you. My current dak is hell and I think it is a lemon. I go to college in Vermont so I know you need a truck lol. If you really like it and are confident go for it, but I'm just saying don't hit your self when you see a similiar truck for 2k less.

 

so did you get it?

 

I will decide on friday. I am test driving a chevy blazer on friday. The truck has 100,000km on it btw. I work in the oil patch so my best bet would be a cummins BUT those trucks are too big for my tastes. I drive around town alot so the dakota or blazer would be my best bet. The Dakota is my number 1 choice though because it is in the best condition so far. It is also the best deal. To the south west of me is the rocky mountains and to the north and east is the plains of alberta. That is the terrain i get to drive. Everything you can throw at me

 

BTW I have taken the better part of 4 months looking for at trucks so I think it is time with winter around the corner and once the snow hits then the minus 40 degrees isn't far behind.

 

its snowing here in Vermont

 

I hate you haha but you get the wet snow don't you?? Up here... uhhh at 55°45′38″N 120°14′08″W lol we get dry snow haha. here is info about my town: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawson_Creek

 

keep your snow up there, pa doesnt need anymore

 

haha well winter si coming slow here. We normally get 10 feet or more per year.

 

Anyways back to the truck. I intend on deciding on friday. If this blazer doesn't blow me out of the water then it is the Dak.

 

get the dak regardless. blazers have a high rollover rate. ef that. and ef 10 feet of snow..
