Used Dodge Dakota trucks for sale under $5,000 near me

Very honest and upfront with any issues with vehicles, very honest. Great price for decent used cars. Great place to go for a kids starter car. Absolutely no pressure sales at all. Just wander the lot with the website open and look at the vehicles, pick out a few you want to test drive and ask for the keys

I've had my 05 dakota 3.7 quad cab for about a year and I have put 16000 miles on it without a problem I have found that it likes the finer fuel in life and premium gas ain't cheap!

Great experience. Brought a F-150 at a very fair price with a no pressure sales team. Worked with David primarily and found him to be genuine and honest. He was very up front on issues with the truck. DND Auto will be my first stop when shopping for cars in the future.

Very reliable truck. Have never had major problems. I am giving it to my brother. He needs a reliable vehicle. I am going to miss this truck!

Bought an ‘09 VW Jetta SE with about 143K miles, in early March 2022. Our son loves it. We even loved driving it. It was one of a select few vehicles on the lot that we even considered looking at. Yes, some of the vehicles are pretty worn out/neglected/etc., but you can thank the previous owners for that. Luckily, ours had no dash lights on, everything worked properly, and it drove great! Check every fluid under the hood, listen carefully for any unusual noises coming from motor, transmission, exhaust, etc. Carefully examine the wheels, tires, body panels and trim pieces. Check the function of EVERYTHING inside the vehicle, windows, locks, mirrors, power seats, radio, heater and a/c functions. Make sure sure ALL doors, hood and trunk open properly. Check all lights, turn signals, head lights, hazards, brake lights. If any dash lights are on, find out why before you buy. Cheap used cars are hard to find right now, but do your own inspection and make an informed decision. Even a super clean, detailed used car can have something major happen at any time. It’s used. Parts wear out and eventually need replaced. Just my thoughts...

This my 2nd Dodge Dakota, I would recommend another one to anyone who wants manual truck. My 1st was 1997 Dodge Dakota, I actually prefer the 97 style to the 2006 model, this year would make my truck 26 yrs old. Still on the road, just has a few maintenance issues, still planning on keeping my 97, gonna put it in the shop for some TLC. I guess what I am trying to say is that the Dodge corporation made one xxxx of a truck, I believe that if the 2006 last as long as my 97, then this will be my last truck. Nothing better than shifting gears with the windows rolled down, going 60 mph.

I have bought 4 vehicles from Zacs and they have always treated me good. I would and have recommended them to many people. If you want a good deal and a good car there isnt anybody better to deal with than George or Scott! there honest people!

Bought this Dakota Quad 4x4 new. It has the 4.7 V8. The absolute Best Truck I’ve ever owned. It’s still lookin and running like new with 250.000 miles on it. Never had any problems with it. It’s sitting in the drive way right now.

I bought a 2008 Toyota Sienna van from Mr Stenger a few weeks ago. The process was easy, the price was fair and the vehicle has exceeded my expectations. I haven’t bought a vehicle from a dealership in about 10 years. This was a much more pleasant experience than I remembered. The vehicle had a small unexpected problem with an engine sensor a few days after the purchase but Mr Stenger honored his warranty and took care of it with no issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a car from Mr Stenger again - a man of his word.

I bought my 2004 Dakota Club Cab SLT 4.7 Automatic in 2008 from a Dodge dealership used car lot. I love this truck. I've always owned mini/mid sized trucks. Datsun,Nissan,Ford Ranger, and this Dakota is the best. The comfort, drivabilty is superior. The rack and pinion steering, 4 wheel disc brakes,limited slip differential, 3.92 gears all contribute to the driving experience. I didn't know this until a few years after owning, but these trucks are classified as 3/4 ton. They have the highest towing capacity 6440 lbs. They have separate trailer circuitry independent from truck lighting. It's own trailer light fuses. The only extended cab with forward faceing rear seats with shoulder restraints. I have about 150,000 it's now 1/7/2023.

the truck is a workhorse, it has been used for hauling a camper to hauling a load of firewood while pulling a trailer loaded with firewood. despite having 31/10.50/15 tires (tire chains don't fit) it doesn't get stuck much in the snow/mud out in the woods while gathering the firewood. it has been abused but still runs with over 250,000 miles.

Although I couldn’t quite find the car I set out for, working with Johnny Lee was fantastic. Low pressure, honest and had a pretty sound idea of what I was looking for and trying to accomplish. I’ll definitely be back.

I bought this truck when I turned 16 and I really abused it the first few years. I took it mudding and about everything else that's hard on a truck even high centering it. after all that its still a very reliable tough little truck. its has a ton of get up and go when you hit the gas and can haul a lot for its size. the biggest load ive had on it so far was 2 tons and it handled it like a champ. after owning it for three years ive put well over 20,000 miles on it and over 2,000 miles was spent in the mud and after all of that the transmission finally went out, which I am told is something that rarely happens in this truck, and I feel that the truck is worth every bit of putting in the new transmission over buying a new truck.

It was a mildly pleasant and fulfilling experience.

Bought my SXT model new in 2002, Traded my 1994 Dakota. Still driving the 2002 daily. It has been an excellent truck. The only problem I had was when I was a mobile technician and drove a company van so my Dakota was mostly parked for about 4 years, the rubber hose on the evaporator canister deteriorated and the check engine light came on. since replacing that, no problems. 156,000 miles and still going strong.

I like to thank Tim Jr and the service department for helping me with tires for my truck. As always was greeted with great customer service and the service tech did a great job . Thanks again Tim and team great experience every time.

2004 3.7 2wd Club Cab 265,000 miles, daily driver, original owner. I had it undercoated and despite all the Michigan winters, there is very little rust. I pull my Searay 250 Sundancer to the marina and back each year and it does a fine job. I have a limited slip differential which helps in snow and rain. MPG is 17 to 19 no matter how you drive. Currently on the 2nd set of spark plugs and 2nd muffler/tail pipe. Changed upper and lower ball joints and engine valve lifters 225k. Everything,except brakes, tires, battery, radiator, hoses and belt, is original. The AC still works great. She still has plenty of power and has never let me down. I've had many vehicles throughout the years and this one is without a doubt the most durable and reliable I've owned.

great experience no issues !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a 2004 Dakota Quad Cab 4x4 with the 4.7 V8. I loved it, while the gas mileage was not great it was rock solid. Only thing I had go wrong was the transfer case went out on it.

Mark gives the best customer service! Go see him! We have bought all our cars from him and he has never disappointed!!

I am so blown away at the power/performance that my 4.7 v8 2000 Dakota has. The 4x4 has been A God send those winter (philly) with all the snow we’ve had. Now here’s the killer part... I paid 450 dollars for it, 109,000 miles with a little rust on frame. But it passed Pa inspection. Keeping this little truck forever!!!!

The staff is amazing and very helpful! We will be back! The car has been great and very clean inside and out. We are very happy with the purchase.

Its a great truck, good sound system, simple interior design, a lot of room. Great for commuting or for hauling items, the only issue that I can think of is that its a bit short.

I have purchased two cars from Eckenrod (one just last week) and have had a great experience both times. Our salesman Andy has worked with us to find the car with the features we needed at a price we could afford (even taking phone calls after hours). No high-pressure car buying experience here - it's like buying from family (in fact, probably better). Highly, highly recommend Eckenrod Ford!

This was a very reliable truck! Still is! It can go forever! Given the age it's more of a worktruck or starter truck but will take you where you need to go.

Great service and I had a very fun awesome sales rep ( Danita Graham help out on choosing a car. I’d recommend her to anybody 👍🏾

Overall this truck is solid by 2022 standards. The dakota is very reliable and comfortable and easy to work on. Sometimes my truck has its crank position sensor wear out fast, but it's not that bad. The 4.7 still has power and the 5 speed auto is still reliable for a dodge. Gas mileage can be a issue, but if you drive it nice you can get about 16 in the city. Overall, a solid truck.

We had purchased a vehicle last Saturday. Did not pick it up because it had a check engine light on. They were going to fix. But it had a bigger problem and the told us. So we got all are deposits back. Very honest dealer. Could have just sold it to us. Ron was the salesman

Great , love it . We bought new 1 owner and still have . My hubby drove it to farm for daily driving. Now , I use as my vehicle I haul wood in.Gonna drive till it can no longer be fixed . Now , it is irreplaceable

Saw the 2000 model available here in the area, and even though the front had been crushed in a rear end collision in stop and go interstate traffic, the frame rails appeared to be straight, and no damage was sustained beyond the front clip and engine compartment. The radiator had been shoved back against the water pump pulley, so in addition to the front clip body parts, it required the auto trans cooler, condenser, radiator, electric fan, mechanical fan, upper and lower shroud halves and the water pump replacement. It was a low speed collision, and the airbags remained undeployed, and that one detail was enough to convince me that it was a prime candidate for being rebuilt. It would replace the standard cab 1993 4x4 we had piled up over 350k miles on the original 318 ci that was about ready to either be rebuilt mechanically, retired or sold to someone else who could redo the power train in time. I had personally rebuilt and upgraded the automatic transmission and transfer case both twice in the 17+ years we had been driving it daily or close to it, but the 5.2 was factory original and with the decreased oil pressure and a little light smoke on cold starts, it was needing some tlc soon. I paid $1000 for the wrecked Quad Cab sitting in the guys front yard, and considered that a good deal since it was sitting on a set of 4 Nexxen all season rubber, had a custom Cat-back dual exhaust system that was nearly new, a new 6 year Interstate 920 CCA battery and a shiny new alternator under the hood as well as an ARE fiberglass topper on back. All the receipts he had totalled quite a sum more than the thousand bucks he was asking for it. I line locked the trans cooler lines, sleeved the upper radiator hose, topped the water and drove it the 7 miles home in the crumpled condition. An additional $1300 spent on all the parts to put the truck back in shape both mechanical and cosmetic, along with a new windshield, and the hours of labor I invested in the project, it was ready to drive. Turned out the 4.7L had been abused somewhat, primarily due to the owner's lack of mechanical inclination or aptitude, and all because of a faulty thermostat, the heads were both slightly warped. I milled .006" from the driver's side head, and .007" from the passenger side. New valve seals, all 3 timing chains and sprockets, tensioners, and a new oil pump while I was that far into it since 6 of the 8 cylinders still had tolerable compression numbers, so I figured I would spend a bit to refresh the top end and cross my fingers. That 4.7 runs like a champ now. Starts at the mere bump of the ignition switch and runs out excellent, especially considering it's got over 205k miles on it. I did end up swapping the factory 195° thermostat for a slightly cooler 180° Stent, since I pull my mower trailer with a heavy ExMark zero turn in the hills here in NW Arkansas, causing the engine temp to be a bit higher than I thought necessary in the mid-afternoon heat. The 180° did the trick. The truck doesn't get the best fuel mileage in comparison to the old '93 and the 318, but driven normal it stays in the 14-17 mpg range so it's affordable. Compare it to the 383 stroker I built for my son's '85 SWB 4x4 and it gets excellent mpg... Hahaha

This truck handles very well. Even though it's an 03 it only had 97k miles on it. Handles great, no play in steering, good acceleration, and being its a 6cyl the gas milage is good.

Aaron Brown and his crew do an excellant job every time.They always try to save me money and their work is always top notch. i have never had a complaint .

Good running little truck, the 3.9 is a little bit of a slouch but it never stops trying, interior is nicely designed and having a full 4 door with a bench front and rear makes for plenty of room for the family, the bed on the quad cab is too short but big enough to haul the old 98 warrior around so I'm satisfied.

Great experience with Peterson Toyota. They found a very hard-to-find car, and sold it to me at MSRP while their competitors were marking them up $2,000 over MSRP. They kept me informed along the way and did a great job facilitating the sale. I had a great experience and highly recommend them.

It all started one night i was just going so fast cause the Dakota is so fast then out of no where a deer appeared, and I smoked the xxxxing deer so god xxxx hard the deer was dead before impact. The deer obviously didn’t survive. The truck is so durable that there wasn’t a scratch on the best truck on the market. 110% recommend purchasing this truck. These trucks are deer proof. Peace out homies! Time to hit another deer.

Bought this truck in 2006 with 140,000 miles on it. It now has 300,000 miles on it. Has never left me hanging. I will miss her when she finally gives up.
