Yeah, need the specifics on the truck. I'd also suggest looking on Autotrader or Vehix for comparable vehicles. Kelly Blue book or whatever they link you to lets you input the specifics and will give you trade in and retail info. Kind of helps with the negotiations. Most of all check, no demand a Carfax report. Lots of Dakota's where rentals and two I looked at had accidents. Both rental/lease vehicles.
Remember it's a buyers market now so don't be afraid to negotiate.

Mine would have listed for a little over 11K dealer. Dodge is still offering $8500 trade-in for it. I got it for $7500 , look around I'm sure you can find a good deal.

there is a site that helps with things like this: kbb.com

check the blue book and go from there, but as the other said, it all depends on the mileage and condidtion and options and mods (if any)...
