Used 2003 Dodge Dakota for Sale

I purchased my 2003 Dodge a year ago, nervous because I had never owned or driven a Dodge, let alone a less than full size truck. The first think I noticed was the exceptional space in the back seat. I have two children and with car seats installed there is still room for a person to sit if necessary. I appreciate this as often times my youngest needs to be soothed. I also was very impressed with the overall driving experience. This truck handles like a car which I am very used to. It is easy to park and back up and this is normally a task for me. After driving only a car or large truck in the past this vehicle turned out easier to maneuver than either of the vehicles in the past. The truck is sharp looking, being black and we have added touches of chrome to add to the aesthetics. All Dodge emblems had already been removed when it was purchased, so this adds to the cleanliness of the overall look. I take great pride in my vehicles and really feel Dodge has created an almost timeless look. This truck will be in my possession for a while!

I bought this truck as a third vehicle. I use it to haul larger items and to pull a camper. We don't use it very often, but it is very handy when we need it. It pulls the rather heavy older camper very well, never a problem. We have made a few 500-mile trips pulling the camper, handles well. It's a V6 with the tow package, so not too bad on gas mileage. Since it is a four door, it is comfortable for four people on a trip, will carry six passengers. It has a short bed, six feet, but is good for moving an appliance or a couple pieces of furniture. With the tailgate down, it can haul sheets of plywood if you strap them down. It has about 150,000 miles on it now, but runs great. I get the oil changed about every 3,000 miles, which is sure to prolong engine life. Interior is in good shape, even after all those miles, no saggy seats or tears in the cloth. Everything works, radio, heater, turn signals, wipers, everything with one exception, the air conditioning compressor is frozen up. It was like that when I bought it, and had no idea how expensive it would be to get it fixed. $900 is the best estimate I got, out of 3. 8 cement blocks in the bed in the winter makes it ok to drive in the snow, no 4 wheel drive. Overall, a great truck for our needs.
