Vehicle Detail
Hi, up for sale is a 1998 Dodge Dakota 2wd pickup truck with the 3.9L V6 engine and an automatic transmission. It has 156k miles. This truck runs and drives with a clean title, but does have it's imperfections. It has keyless entry and automatic start. It does come with the 17" R/T wheels as pictured and the shock assisted bed cover. Also has an aftermarket C/D player head unit. No check engine lights are on. It runs, drives, and shifts. The transmission does have some hesitation though when shifting, probably the band adjustment which is a common occurrence on these. It would make a solid work or run around truck. It needs the two front tires and a new inspection, otherwise no major mechanical problems that I am aware of that would prevent it from passing inspection. It rides a little rough, so it probably could use shocks or bushings. I recently replaced some bad brake lines and fully bled the brake system with all new fluid, battery is newer, rear tires are good. The front bumper and grille are rattle canned with factory match paint. Body has some rust such as on the front bumper and at the bottoms of the doors. No major frame or floor rust that I can see. As mentioned, the trans is a little jerky / has hesitation on upshifting but it does shift and has reverse (probably the band adjustment). Heat works well, A/C is a bit weak so it might need a re-charge. Headliner is starting to sag in the front. The driver's side door ground effect is off the truck as you can see in the pictures, but I do have it if you'd like to re-attach. It has a fiberglass roll pan in the back which does have some cracking and chipping. It could be repaired and re-painted if you choose, it's not beyond saving. The truck also has a dual tip flowmaster partial exhaust which outlets through the roll pan.Taking into consideration the issues it does have, along with the upgrades and recent work I'm asking $1,700 obo. The truck is located in Trevose, PA 19053. I will not ship, and will only accept cash as payment (no money orders or paypal). A non refundable $100 deposit is due via paypal / credit card within 24 hours of the listing close. The remainder of the payment is due in cash in person along with vehicle pick up within 7 days. If you are interested please send me a message and set up a time to come see the truck. Again, this truck isn't perfect and has some issues typical to a truck that's almost 20 years old which is why I'd classify it as a work truck. Ask any questions and feel free to set up a time to see it if you are serious about it.To recapThe good- clean PA title- runs and drives- newer battery- good rear tires- good brakes- 17" R/T wheels - Keyless Entry- Automatic Key Fob Start- Heat works - Shock assisted bed coverThe bad- Minor body rust and dings / paint issues- Some hesitation in the transmission- Needs front tires for inspection- headlight clips are broken so they are a bit loose- rides a little rough, could probably use shocks or bushings
