RESIDENTS-MVA REGULATION THIS IS THE ONE YOU HAVE WAITED FOR NO ''SKY HIGH'' BUY IT NOW PRICE NO ''UNREACHABLE'' RESERVE NO FEES-WHAT YOU BID IS WHAT YOU PAY JUST THINK NO TRUCK PAYMENTS LAST BIDER WINS-REGARDLESS OF THE BID PAY PAL ACCOUNT REQUIRED-RESTRICTIONS APPLY-PLEASE READ SELLERS TERMS You are bidding to purchase a 1997 Dodge Dakota SLT Club Cab pickup truck that has been driven on average less than 4,000 miles per year far less than 15,000 the industry average.These miles are confirmed thru Auto Check,the prior owner and without question the remarkable condition of the vehicle.These are the kind of miles you would normally find on very pricey 2011 and 2010 models but hardly ever on a 1997. ********************* In these unpredictable economic times and with the future price of fuel anyones guese we feel the fairest way to sell this vehicle is for you the buyer to set the price,yes you!!!.Isn't that the best way to buy,you price it? ********************* The Dodge Dakota has been Americas favorite mid size pick up for many decades and remains so today.Known for their generous fuel mileage averaging 19 highway mpg.,rugged durability,ability to rack up countless miles with only routine service they are right up there at the head of the class just where they belong.This is true value for the dollar,no question. ******************** This handsome guy comes to us from a very well to do neighborhood just outside our nations capital.We find this truck clean from front to rear and top to bottom with minimal cosmetic imperfections,dings,dimples,scuffs ect.All lenses,trim and moldings are clean and straight.We see no corrosion on the doors,fenders,panels or underneath.The factory bed liner shows very little wear.The original factory finish still has that ''new truck'' luster.There are a very fresh looking set of all season radials riding the factory rims with all original wheel covers present and the unused full size spare and all jacking hardware are stowed properly.The windshield shows no stone bruises,cracks,chips or wiper mar.In our opinion this appears in every way to be a ''garage kept'' vehicle.So so rare to see on a vehicle of this vintage. ****************** The interior shows almost no wear with no signs of neglect or abuse.The dash shows no sun fade or degradation,the original head liner is clean and tight with no sagging of the cloth. The upholstery, (the rear seat looks unused) carpeting and trim panels are crisp and clean with no evidence that this vehicle has ever been smoked in. ****************** Mechanically there will be no surprises here.The well proven 3.9L V6 engine fires to life with the click of the key coming to idle at specs.We see no oil leaks or smoke around the block or from the exhaust.On the drive the acceleration is strong,the front end is tight and pleasing and the track is true and straight.The brakes stop the vehicle confidently with no pull or shudder.The air conditioner works quietly while producing excellent cooling.We see no issues with the heat,defrost,original sound system or safety features.It is without question this handsome fella has been very well looked after and if continued by the next fortunate owners they can expect many years and many miles of trouble free service. *********************** Whether you need a great little truck for those weekend chores,a economical daily commuter or the perfect starter vehicle for that ''new'' driver in the family this guy should fit the bill. Please keep in mind 1 owner vehicles are always a better value because 99.9% of the time they have been consistently driven and very well maintained.Vehicles such as this in this condition of this vintage with these kind of miles are few and far between and are very rarely offered on a ''NO RESERVE'' auction but are normally passed down by senior family members and not offered to the public.Bid with 100% confidence you have found the true ''needle in the haystack''. ************************** As always you are welcome to come take a look,listen or drive prior to biding and we encourage this.We are just north of Annapolis,Maryland,zip code 21061.To our out of town guests we offer free shuttle service from close by BWI airport and AMTRACK rail station.Any questions or concerns please e-mail or call Tom or Mike @ 410-207-2168.
