Got mine for $14.5k with a GR warranty (6 yr 60000 more miles) Had 57k miles when I bought it a year ago.

It's not a super deal. The miles do scare me... not so much if I were the first owner, or one of just a couple owners and I got it with lower miles initially. I would look over the front end with great scrutiny. I could see loss of compression at those miles depending on how well it was cared for on the inside.

Personally, I would keep looking. As other suggested, take a flight or a road trip if you really want a Dakota for a good price with lower miles.

Good luck, and hope to see ya back with a Dakota soon!

Btw, thanks for making me an "All Star" with my 750th post lol

IMO, that price is a little steep. I got mine, although it's the 3.7L, for just under $12,000. Front end was just replaced before I bought it, almost new tires (3/4 - 5/8 tread left) and then later found out it had 4:56 gear ratio... Oh it also had 84,000 miles when I bought it, and this was in NY

I think that is really steep for such high miles. I got mine (06, V8, 4x4 Quad) with 38,525 miles on it (62,000 km) for C$14,000 out the door! Taxes, tags, minor touch-ups all in. At current exchange rates that is right around US$14,000 too!.

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I am just looking right now, I am not sure what I want to get yet. I want a full size, but really do not need it and cannot fit one im my garage. I just really want rid of my car and get back in a 4x4 V8 truck.
