Used Dodge Dakota trucks for sale under $7,000 near me

My wife and I were in need of a second vehicle and checked out lpm. I'm very skeptical of any mechanic or car salesman but we were greeted by one of the owners Jimmy. That day we were unable to buy anything but jimmy gave me his personal cell number and kept in constant contact with me over the next few weeks. He found something that he thought would fit my family and texted me with all the details. Since purchasing the vehicle any concerns or questions I have I reach out to him and he almost immediately responds. My family is blessed to have met such amazing people who truly care. I am skeptical but not of lpm and their staff. They truly care and are there for you. They made what can be a hard and difficult time easy smooth and as stress free as possible. They are still here for me and I will absolutely not only recommend them but will be going back in the future when the time comes for any other purchases.

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.

Recently called here to ask an information for Toyota Prius 2004 model. The lady was honest and told me about the car had two accidents reported. She explained me the accident in detail and gave me the virtual information related to the car.

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.

Jack was friendly and very helpful. I got a car I absolutely love!! Great experience. In the market for a used car? Shop here!! Thank you :)

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.

Helping my parents buy a car. Johnny helped us find exactly what we needed. He took his time, listened to our needs, and was not pushy. Great service. Very happy!!

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.

I've not been to the lot yet so can't rate anything but customer service. And their customer service is A . By far, the nicest and most honest dealership I've ever spoken to.

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.

My experience has been awesome so far! They got me into a very nice car, for an awesome price, in less than 2 hrs, and Monique literally saved my life, lol! I would recommend this place to any and every one! Amazing prices, reliable, decent vehicles, and alot to choose from too! They will take care of you, I can promise you that!

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!

Salem Autosports has gotten some bad reviews from people who buy vehicles from them only to have them end up having mechanical issues. It's important to keep in mind that salem autosports is essentially a car flipping dealership, meaning they buy used cars from a couple of sources (such as trade-ins from a local dealership), and then turn around and sell them for a good deal without doing much mechanical review or cleanup of the vehicle. This method of business allows you to find some pretty good deals here, but you have to know the above to know that you need to do your own review of the vehicle and you're not going to be guaranteed that you won't have to put a little money into it after you buy it to fix a few things. All that said, I got such a good deal on a 2002 Toyota Tacoma with low miles that it was worth me flying here all the way from Omaha, Nebraska, to buy the truck that I had not even seen in person. Yes it was a bit of a risk, but it paid off and the truck is very nice even though I did have to put about $1,300 into it after buying it to fix a few things like some ball joints. That said I got the truck for probably like $4,000 under Blue Book value so I'm still well in the money on it and love it. As far as service goes, these guys were great to work with from afar. They answered all my questions kindly and promptly and even went as far as sending me video footage of them hammering on some areas under the frame so I can make sure it was just spot rust. Overall I would definitely recommend this dealership with the caveat that you have to be ready to do your own research on the vehicle and thoroughly check it out to make sure that it is good as far as you can tell and be willing to potentially put a little money into it after you buy it, but that's not really that uncommon when buying a used vehicle anyway. I caught a few minor issues with the truck when doing my in person review, (such as the passenger side door handle being broken), and they knocked off a couple hundred dollars right on the spot for me. Thanks guys! Appreciate the good deal and service!

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!

Eckenrod Ford was easier to deal with than all the other dealerships where I was looking at vehicles. They were also willing to give me a lot more money for my trade-in than anyone else offered.

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.

When I called into the sales department, I was greeted with enthusiasm, professionalism, and expertise for the vehicle I was interested in. Salesman was not pushy and asked for minimal information just to make sure they could get the right deal and car for my needs. I’ve never been treated so well at a dealership before. I would strongly recommend going to speedway automall if you are looking for friendly, professional service without any hassels

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.

We have now bought two of our cars at alphorn. We went back to alphorn because of the great service and ease of the last purchase. Wonderful people and easy to work with! I cannot say enough about Larry our salesman he truly made trading in a car I loved to a even better suv When I forgot a iPass he had it in the mail to me. He has gone above and beyond. Thank you alphorn team you have truly made my purchase enjoyable.

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.

Bought many cars from this dealer over the years mostly because we can count on them to do the right thing. An informed customer can be reasonably assured that they will get a fair price, respectful treatment, honest and straight-forward information, and most importantly they they will do what they said they would do.

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.

Plenty of room for 6 footers, takes a lot of rugged use by young men and dogs, dependable and solid, fold up seats in rear - dogs go right in or 2 people and groceries! Great truck.

first time experience was straight forward, given a lot of information, good conversation and friendly environment. Was very reassuring and very helpful. overall good experience.

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.

Mike was great His follow up to make sure everything was good was spot on. I had a small issue. They gave me a loaner while I was waiting and a full tank of gas. Very quick approval and we are so happy with the vehicle. A great experience

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!!!!

It was very laid back. They are not your typical “used car sales people.” They were not pushy at all and helped me find what I wanted and needed.

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.

We were extremely pleased with the salesman, Chris Larson who sold us a 2019 Subaru with only 1,584 (yes it is correct) miles and took our Toyota FJ in trade. Chris is very professional and personable. I would definitely ask for Chris if I go back. I would have given a 5 star rating for the buying process based on only Chris, but the overall time was too long, but better than some previous experiences at other dealers.

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

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.

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.

Fast, friendly, and thorough. The waiting area is clean & comfy. The techs are highly skilled & they always get the job done quickly. Highly recommended for sales & service.

I first owned a 98 Dakota and fell in love with it when it was time for a new vehicle i chose a newer Dakota because your getting a lot of truck for the money. Theres space for your family amd friends to sit comfortable and plenty of space and power to haul large items and tow small to medium trailers. Interior is straight forward with a nice sounding radio all displays nice and clear. The only thong i wiah was dofferent about MY particular truck is I wish it was a v8 with a stick. However with that being said this lottle v6 gets the job. I do everything i ised to do with my old truck in this newer one and this one does come with a v8 6 speed option which ill be sure to 'pick up' in the future so yeah i recommend it.

We were happy with the service we received from Zane & Jeff. They made the process easy and also gave us a tour of the van and all it's neat options!! We look forward to getting it wrapped and on the road! Thanks so much!!

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

Bought a used Ford Taurus. They fixed the window that didn't work without any fuss. The car runs well and my experience with Brandon was very very pleasant. No hassles or problems. Professional and easy to work with.

Put it this way, I just bought another one, same year/model. I sold the old one to my nephew who's already driven it to Az from San Diego more than once & its never once over heated in the 15 yrs Ive owned
