Looking into buying a 99 Dakota sport with 164 thousand on it anything I should look out for its in good shape.

 

Welcome to the site. I will move this thread to the second generation Dakota section,
FF

 

great trucks, but remember that if alot of parts are original with that many miles you will be throwing money into it. as long as drivetrain is good IE. motor doesn't have a tick or knock, trans feels strong, 4x4 works, diffs dont make noise then everything else can be fixed without to much of hassel by DIY

 

make sure the trans has been rebuilt(if AT) and that the balljoints have been replaced.

 

Its a 5 speed no engine tick or noise at all fells strong. I did fell a little shake in the steering in 3 rd gear though pretty sure the 4 wheel drive works forgot to test it. But the Guy said it does and he wants 3300 for it
