Here is what you get:

-1997 Dodge Dakaota sport V6 with Extended Cab and matching red camper shell!

Here are some good things about the truck:

-Engine runs good

-I bought this from a Dodge dealership used in 2000, and have always done oil changes on time.

-It just had a fresh oil change a couple of weeks ago and have been using the upgraded high mileage oil for a while.

-I am the second owner, although the title was changed to my Mom's name so technically she owns it now. (Title free, clear, and on hand)

-Has a nice matching red camper shell (see photo) that cost 1k$ new in 2000. Camper has brake light and interior light

-6 seat belts for passengers (3 in front, 3 in back)

-Non smoking

-Interior is decent for car of this age (see photo)

-Nice bench in back (see photo) w 2 cupholders (also 2 more cupholders in front)....storage compartments underneath rear bench

-Tires are good and fairly new (see photo)

-Brand new Registration and Inspection stickers (see photo)

-Kenwood tape player, though I mainly use the radio (there once was a cd changer installed on floor behind middle console) (see photo)

-Good battery and terminals

-Honest Seller with clean driving record

Here are all of the not so good things that I am aware of:

-Overdrive makes a noise when engaged (I've been disengaging it with the "O/D off" button so that I can drive around town when I have errands that require the truck)

-Paint is old and chipping (especially on hood) (see photo)

-Very small dent on passengers side front fender that has some rust (see photo)...There are other various small scratches, and maybe a few small dings (nothing you wouldn't expect out of a used truck of this age).

-A/C condenser is leaking I believe, so won't hold free-on. Also, there is a small amount of black foam material in the a/c vents that came loose.

-Glove Box latch is broken and won't open w/o screwdriver...Other than that, dashboard in good shape (see photo)

-Little plastic cosmetic piece on driver door is missing (see photo)

-The front end makes a little noise when going over a speed bumps...probably just needs some newer shocks in front...

-Driver visor is splitting at seam a little...does not affect functionality...(see photo)

-Ceiling fabric has fallen a little (see photo)

-Camper shell needs to have lights hooked back up (probably a simple repair you could do yourself for a couple of bucks)

-Camper shell needs to be reset so it will lock properly...

Here is a list of a few repairs that have been made over the years:

-Transmission rebuilt in 2002 or 2003

-Water pump replaced around 2005

-Radiator replaced around 2005

Basically, many of these things can usually be expected on trucks these age, but I wanted to be completely transparent about what you are getting. This has been my main source of transportation for 14 years with mostly local driving in Austin area. I would expect this truck to keep running for quite a while if taken care of. That said, there is no warranty expressed or implied and this truck is sold "as is", so bid accordingly.

Here are my terms:

-100$ deposit required though paypal within 24 hours auction end.

-Balance can be paid with Paypal within 48 hours auction end, or cash in person at a Tax Office in Austin TX within 3 days auction end.

-We will meet at a tax office in Austin, TX during business hours to complete transaction, and all necessary paperwork within three business days of auction end.

Mopar '13 Dart priced from $25,485*

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

For the past few years, Chrysler's Mopar in-house tuning division has created its own one-off versions of several cars in the automaker's portfolio, including the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and Mopar '12 300. For 2013, the black-and-blue up-do has been given to the new Dart compact, and Chrysler has announced that the limited-edition sedan is now available for order, priced from $25,485, not including *$995 for destination.
Like previous Mopar edition vehicles, the Dart is painted in a signature Pitch Black exterior with an offset blue racing stripe. The sedan sits seven millimeters lower to the ground and gets visual add-ons like a chin spoiler, decklid spoiler and rear diffuser, along with gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels.
Performance wise, the Dart's 1.4-liter MultiAir inline four-cylinder engine remains, producing 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The Mopar car gets a sport-tuned exhaust system along with revised power steering calibration and beefier brakes.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln

Sat, 26 Jul 2014

Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
