'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.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

Dodge celebrates big B-day with 100th Anniversary Editions muscle cars

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Being in business for 100 years is a HUGE milestone, so we hope Dodge has more in mind to celebrate its centennial than just a special edition package for the 2014 Charger and Challenger. Called the 100th Anniversary Edition package, this collection of cosmetic enhancements will be available in limited quantities for both cars at a cost of $2,500.
Ordering a Charger or Challenger with the 100th Anniversary Edition package means starting with either a V6-powered SXT Plus or V8-powered R/T Plus model. They can each be ordered in many colors, but only the High-Octane Red Pearl Coat above is an anniversary exclusive. Each car also comes with an anniversary-exclusive set of 20-inch, five-spoke wheels with what Dodge calls "Granite Crystal pockets," a texture that's also mirrored on each car's grille.
Of course, there are commemorative badges galore affixed to the exterior of each car, including "Dodge Est. 1914" fender badges and "100" logos on the center caps of each wheel. The styling theme of each car's interior is a bit more interesting, with Dodge designers trying to evoke "the patina and machinist legacy of John and Horace Dodge," the company's founders. To that end, the leather interior can be had in Molten Red or Foundry Black Nappa, and each features a custom cloud overprint that makes the hide look like a working man's dirty dungarees. Designers also used brass-colored accent stitching on the interior's leather trim pieces, and affixed more "Dodge Est. 1914" badges to the front seat backs and floor mats. We do like the flat-bottomed steering wheel, and the Challenger 100th Anniversary Edition gets exclusive white gauges faces and the Charger black. The "100" on each car's speedometer is also highlighted in red.

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
