'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.

Chrysler recalling 780k minivans over fire risk

Fri, 09 May 2014

Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.

Watch 1,414-hp worth of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat do stereo burnouts

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

When Dodge announced that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, automotive enthusiasts were shocked. The company had promised us that it would be powerful, but no one expected for the muscle car to post even larger numbers than the range-topping Viper.
Car and Driver recently got ahold of two new SRTs and decided that the only proper way to show them off was by lighting up the rears in stereo. With a combined 1,414 horsepower, the pair of them make burnouts from the Hellcat V8 look as easy as breathing. The tires start spinning at the slightest provocation and just don't stop. If you buy one of these, it looks like you and the employees at the local tire store are going to be on a first name basis.
Scroll down to watch these two Hellcats to lay down enough smoke to alert the local hook and ladder trucks.

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.
