I currently drive a 97 dodge dakota thats falling apart and ive had enough of it and am in a hurry to find a new vehicle, i found a 2004 Dodge 1500 with a 5.7 L V8 and 181,000 km. The truck is in excellent shape im just unsure about the km. http://rainbowford.autotrader.ca/cer...4fe1e6a00a.htm
The price was dropped to 10,300
If any one has any advice
Thanks!

 

And its even 4wd, that's a nice truck and now its $10,300, I say crawl underneath and look at everything, if your satisfied, get it, you'll love it , especially compared to your Dakota. Either way, keep us updated, Good Luck man.

 

I miss my 87 dakota, she was a beauty and a beast, she's still alive at 300k miles. I sold her to a dodge mechanic and still all original except for the usual brakes tires etc but powertrain is all original including tranny. In hindsight I shoulda kept it.

 

When I run the numbers, I get a dealer retail of $9,950

 

i just bought an '04 quad 4x4 in mint condition with 91K for 14,000.

here i can find rams all day long for about 4k less than ford or chevy with similar usage. (Tennessee)

 

Keep in mind that the OP's link is to a Canadian seller, thus pricing is not US dollars!

 

I think that's a bit overpriced. Oh nevermind that's Canadian, sorry. Definitely check the vitals on it, check for any noises etc.

 

Well, a couple years ago I picked up my truck for $15k with 31000 on it. Not sure how the prices changed

 

Even with the dollar about par all of our prices are still much higher. $10,300 isn't bad for an 04 with that mileage. My 03 is for sale at $11,000 OBO but I've done a lot of work to it, and it'll be a good truck for a long time.

 

You leaving the horns on the front?

I checked a bunch of dealers around Edmonton/Red-Deer/Medicine Hat... I'd say if its a clean truck, it's a good starting price.. go in there with some brass knuckles and beat them down a bit on the price... You'll feel good for it.
