'95 Dodge Dakota Sport Short Bed 4 Cylinder Engine No Reserve on 2040-cars

Up for sale is my 1995 Dodge Dakota Sport Short Bed. I bought this truck 9 years ago (if memory serves) and used it to commute to school. It has never been abused and has only seen pavement and a few gravel roads. After I graduated it got me to and from my first job reliably. It would always start, ran perfectly, and never gave me any problems. The exact day that I bought a new truck, it blew a gasket and started pouring white smoke. Since I had a new vehicle I didn't bother to fix it. Since it was such a good truck for me, I want to give someone else the chance to own it, drive it, and love it like I have. 

When I parked it two months ago everything (except the blown gasket in the engine obviously) worked perfectly. I have no doubt that once fixed it will be a great little truck for years to come. I performed regular maintenance on it, and did all small repairs myself. I will try and give a full and accurate list of all the positive things, and the negative things. If you have any other questions, feel free to send me a message via eBay, or txt / call me at 660-281-6505. Please no soliciting =P

Positives:
Very reliable. Started whenever I turned the key, and drove wherever I pointed it.
Got 25-27 miles to the gallon. (no joke, I kept track religiously!)
Got around in all the snow and ice that we have in MO without a problem.
Has a 10in subwoofer and updated Pioneer speakers / header combo. 
Upholstery is in good shape. No rips or tears, just a few stains (spilled my soda once or twice).
Being a 4 cylinder the engine is easy to get to, ie: plenty of space in the engine compartment.
Transmission is in great shape, shifts tight with NO noises, bumps, or clunks.
Clutch engages perfectly.
Has A/C
Has surface rust, but only surface rust. Everything is very solid.
Has not been messed with. Meaning it was made as a road truck, and that is what I have done with it.   No lift kit, no offroading, no punishment.
Passed inspection last summer.

Negatives:
The blown gasket which makes it burn coolant is the biggest bad thing.
Was in a minor fender bender. A well know delivery company truck was driving on the wrong side of a gravel road. Has been repaired, inspected, and driven since then.
Passenger side taillight mounting rim is broken. It still works, but you can see it in the pictures.
Windshield has cracks, all of which were professionally fixed by Fas-Break Windshield Repair

Hood has a small dent still from the accident, which makes it a little tricky to open. It does open fine however.

Bed is starting to get rust on the wheel-wells. Easily fixed right now. Can be seen in pic.


And that is everything. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I can take photos of anything else you would like to see. I have the clean and clear title in hand.

Payment and Shipping:
A $500 dollar deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end. Full payment due within 7 business days. I am jumpy because I have had several people not pay for auctions they won. So please contact me and let me know you mean business. Bidders with zero or negative feedback will have bids canceled if they do not speak with me first.

Shipping is the buyers responsibility. I will assist as I can. Note that the truck cannot be driven home, but could be driven onto a trailer and towed home.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).

Travis Pastrana signs with Dodge for another year, brings partner Bryce Menzies [w/video]

Sun, 14 Apr 2013

Dodge and SRT Motorsports announced that the Dodge Dart will be returning for its sophomore season of the Global Rallycross Championship with a two-car team fielded by Pastrana Racing. Travis Pastrana drove his GRC Dart to victory lane in the fourth race of the car's inaugural season, and his race team is looking for even more success with the addition of off-road racer Bryce Menzies behind the wheel of the second car.
The 2013 GRC season kicks off on April 21 in Brazil with plenty of dirt-spewing, ramp-jumping action. Scroll down for a video from the cars' main sponsor, Red Bull, and a press release from Chrysler.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
