So what did you pay for you Dakota?
I paid $1500 for my 2001 Dakota a few years back with a blown 3.9. I put the engine in with my father in 5 and a half hours. I sold it though, because my friend was trading in his 2003 Silverado and I snagged it for 6k.

First post here and my first ever Dodge Truck in 20 yrs of driving (I have owned 3 F-150's).
I just purchased a 2007 SLT Dakota 4x2 Quadcab with the 4.7L, only 52,000 miles and a brand new set of Yokohama tires in immaculate condition for $14,600 with a 6000 mile warranty. When I saw the truck I knew I had to have it.
I am really digging this truck. Now I need to look for a tonneau cover.
I have attached a pic.

I just bought a 2000 Dakota SLT quad cab 4.7 to go with my 2000 Durango SLT+ 4.7. I paid more than I wanted @ $8,500 but it was a one owner and has only 21,000 original miles! It's loaded and looks brand new inside and out. Came with a great matching shell that I've since stored in my garage. I couldn't pass it up once I ran the vin number and everything checked out with it. I was looking for a '03 or '04 but with only 21,000 , it looks and drives like its new. My Durango I bought new and has 108,000 miles and it runs great, I plan on doing some of the same things to the Dakota that I did with my Durango. Here's my Durango: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...urango-21.html
I paid 1000 for my 1992 dakota 3.9 4x4 5 speed...bought it from an army guy that had bought a brand new truck with literally all the bells and whistles.
Anyways, it had 218k when i got it. After 2 winters, a "new" motor, four shocks, a posi rear end and a few other things later it now has over 233k on it and more things are dieing as i drive it farther but thats the same with any vehicle you buy. lol

Everyone seems to have 4.7s around here though, I feel like the black sheep around here.
