Used Dodge Dakota trucks for sale under $8,000 near me

Although I did not purchase a vehicle there they responded very quickly to my inquiry. They were very helpful but not pushy which is exactly how I like it. I would definitely recommend them to other customers. Chris O'Donnell

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.

Great car buying experience, no problems. Kim & Dennis were great to deal with. Yes I would buy another car from them. Thanks D& D !!!!Glenn

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!

I BOUGHT A BMW 7 SERIES. THIS IS A REAL NICE CAR. I WOULD RECOMMEND ZACS AUTO SALES TO EVERYONE!!!

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.

They were extremely patient and kind to me when buying a car. I bought a 2006 Toyota Prius and I am absolutely loving it so far! I had a few mishaps in the buying process, and they were the epitome of patience and kindness. They were willing to work with me through every part of the process and I cannot stress how thankful I am for it! I went to the Plainfield location and would highly recommend it! Karl is a wonderful person to work with!

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!

I had a great experience at Salem Autosports buying a Subaru Forester. Mike was super responsive and helpful. Not pushy like your typical car salesman. I'd highly recommend Salem Autosports to anyone looking for a vehicle in the area.

This truck meet all my needs but a car or suv is better since I have grand kids to take to school events.

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!

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.

My wife & I found this small dealership, and from our first phone call to shaking hands on a truly fair deal, we had a fantastic experience. This father and son operation exudes authenticity. Zero pressure, 100% honesty, just a joy to work with. I would refer anyone to this dealership. The prices are exceptional, and the inventory is varied enough that just about anyone could find a vehicle to fit their needs. They’re older, higher mileage cars ours was a Carmax trade in that they would not retail due to its age (2007). There were a couple issues with the car, but Brandon immediately acknowledged them and we worked out a deal to have these areas addressed. We had a friendly conversation with Brandon and his dad after the deal was worked out. We felt like they received a fair price for their vehicle, and so did we. You should take the time to visit this dealership if you find a vehicle in their inventory that suits your needs. Great people, excellent prices, and unquestionable ethics.

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

This is a family owned businesses and one of the nicest dealerships I've ever dealt with I will go back to them on my next vehicle purchase I'm very pleased with the company

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.

We found a Volkswagen suv that i absolutely loved and Jeff made us a great deal! He and his employees are very personable and helpful..made a possibly stressful situation very easy and we love the car!

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!!!!

I read the other reviews and was a little skeptical. Well, I can tell you they must be under new/different/better management because non of those old opinions were true!!! Honest, accurate, fast, and polite! Old car dealership methods are dead. New style when people truly come first are here and hopefully to stay. Thank you all!

This gem trucks all over town and has been reliable since buying it in 2002. I hate to sell it, but I have nowhere to park it anymore.

A big shout out for Don Parry at Imperial Motor Company! Don went above and beyond to help me buy a fishing boat for my retirement enjoyment. His knowledge and courteous salesmanship is impressive. Don knows boating and is ready to help you find your dream boat. Thank you

Bought this truck in'03 with 110k miles. I'm proud to say, it now has 348k. Very dependable ride. Always starts, gets 15 mpg combined average mileage, and has enough power to pull my car trailer with way too much on it, lots of times. The downside of the Dakota's are the body rust. Door bottoms, wheel wells, and now the rocker panels are falling apart. Got my money's worth!! Looking for my next Dakota right now.

Sal was awesome to work with, made the buying process really easy and fun, I would highly recommend John Deery Motors! They value every customer!

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.

My family car broke down,Jeff at kadlec kia,took care of everything for us.With just a phone call to him.Give Jeff a call today at Kadlec kia in Rochester,Mn

Bought with low miles, have owned it for many years without any problems. Used it for camping & kayaking for fun adventures. Great for carrying furniture, gardening products and home maintenance materials. Four wheel drive reliability in bad weather and snowy conditions. Club cab provides extra space. Solid performer!

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.

Had a really great experience with Mike today buying our vehicle he had great customer service . We were in and out in a reasonable amount of time. Would highly recommend them we will consider them again in the future when we need to buy another vehicle.

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

Nice people. They were pretty honest with me, no beating around the bush. Everyone I worked with was solid and super easy to talk to!

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.

Great experience, on the top Chris Larson salesman, couldn't be happier. Would highly recommend. Going back for service too. Great service department. Why go anywhere else?

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 Sam in service department he did what he said took care of my Rav4 inside and out will return to Sam in the future for service and car care.

Dante was easy to work with and answered all my questions. He even advised me to look at other vehicles, but I was pretty much sold on the Sienna since I had one that just died at 400 k miles. I tested 2 different ones and was very happy with the one I bought. After I drove it at night I realized the interior dash lights weren't working and Dante quickly got back to me and I brought it back, and had a loaner car while they fixed it. I rated average on the facilities, it's no frills and parking can get a little tricky, but I guess that's why they can keep the prices low. I wasn't bothered by it but just giving a heads up to others. The indoor area was fine though and had some really cool looking classics.

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

Great process. No pressure at all and got everything done in a timely manner. I really like how laid back everyone was, but I still got all the attention I needed. Highly recommend.

I bought this truck new, a WT (8' bed) with the 3.9. It has 110,000 miles on it now, I've used it for construction, driven cross country - Mass to Wash - 6 times, once with a canoe on the camper top, once towing a Geo - and it has never stranded me, never not started, still has original engine, clutch, tranny and exhaust system. With the 3.9 engine has plenty of power, quick off the line and got (not anymore) 24 mpg. With the rack & pinion it handles better than a lot of sedans. This was a great truck. Too bad they don't make 'em with the real bed anymore.
