'95 Dodge Dakota Sport Short Bed 4 Cylinder Engine No Reserve on 2040-cars
Nelson, Missouri, United States
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. |

Australian consumer activists destroy a Dodge Journey with a tank
Thu, Jun 30 2016An Australian couple held an event where they crushed their unreliable and frustrating Dodge Journey with a retired army tank. According to Drive, Kate and Joe Masters owned an infuriating 2010 Dodge Journey that they claim was plagued by mechanical and electrical issues. After numerous failed attempts on their part to get the issues fixed by Fiat Chrysler and Dodge Australia, the couple decided that they'd had enough. Working with Queensland consumer advocate Ashton Wood, the Masters held an event where they smashed the Dodge with a sledgehammer and fired arrows at it. Finally, they rolled out a retired Centurion Mk.V tank and proceeded to crush the doomed Dodge monster truck-style. Fiat Chrysler issued a statement refuting many of the Masters' claims about both its vehicle and the steps taken to remedy the situation. The company claims that the vehicle was serviced outside of its dealer network and that the Masters did not work through established consumer complaint channels established by the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. "We had attempted to work proactively with this customer, offering free service work and free genuine parts after their warranty had expired," FCA said in a statement. "While Dodge Australia was keen to resolve this issue, we weren't in the position to issue the demanded refund of $43,000 for a vehicle purchased in 2011, that was driven for more than 100,000 kilometers (62,137 miles) and that has no known manufacturing defects, nor had any evidence provided by the owners to substantiate these claims. Queensland senator Glenn Lazarus, who was involved with the tank event, stated that Australian motorists need better consumer protections against automotive dealerships and manufacturers. "Countries around the world have successfully implemented lemon laws to provide consumers with protection and I believe it's about time we did the same in Australia," he said. Destroying cars in a public act of frustration is nothing new. In China, a Lamborghini Gallardo owner smashed his luxury ride with a sledgehammer after he felt he wasn't given a premium experience at the dealership.

eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show
Fri, 24 May 2013As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars
Thu, Mar 14 2024In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in. By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
