Well some of you saw my thread that the R/T died last week so I had to go and find something new. Wasn't looking for anything specifically due to the situation and my shitty credit so what ended up working for my budget was a 2008 Ford Edge color is copper. So needless to say other than selling parts I have in the garage and moderating the for sale forum I won't be on much!

It's been fun having a Dakota since 98!!!
1st one
98 Dakota club cab with the V6 a had 247,000 when it was stolen




2nd one
99 Dakota R/T club cab bought with 103k died at 215,000




New ride!

Ahh....
Traitor.
I hear ya. Once sold there's no sense slumming with us.
Enjoy the new car.
Maybe you'll come back to Dakota land.
I did.
Not a big step though. I've always been Dodge.
Have fun.

You'll be back. I bought my first Dak (02 QC 4.7) back in 2006. Sold it in 2011. Bought a volvo S60R..sold it cuz I missed my Dak, and bought my current truck in 2012

I didn't really have that many options to buy from with my budget and crappy credit lol I like it so far, it's nice having tons of room though! Lol
Thanks man

We'll see I don't like the new style and don't want an old truck anymore lol
I've had a Dakota for 16 yrs so it's time for something different lol

Oh I'm high risk and was expecting 24%+ but I was able to get it at 20%, my buddy is a manager at a dealer so he took care of me, he dropped over 2 grand off the price to get the deal done, it was already 4 grand cheaper than their original sticker price

20% sorry to hear

 

[y2krtaf]

Sorry to hear the Dak died Scott...,but congrats on the new ride buddy!

 

[RDuck]

Holy crap. 20%.
That's what credit cards charge.
But ya gotta start somewhere.
Talk to your bank in six months and get a loan to pay off the car and use the car as loan security. Should get you down to the six percent or something way better.
Plus paying off the car loan so quick will help your credit.

Weak.





Jk. I'm in the same process now. Come back and whore it up.

 

[Little Blue Guy]

Hey Scott..everyone here knows ya gotta do what's best for you...hope everything turns out better for ya in the future...

Ford Edge eh? Not a bad decision really. When it comes time to replace the dakota I already have a car in mind right now just in case but I don't really plan on getting anything for another 2-3 years. Trying to hold up on another car payment until my wife pays off her '09 Chevy HHR LT. Currently looking at the Dodge Avenger. Really like the body styling on those. I'd even look seriously at Honda Civics or anything else built in the USA.

Stick around man, you can still be of help to other members because you have 16 years of experience with these trucks. Just cause you no longer own one don't mean you're not allowed here lol.

 

[jmaack727]

Wait pee pee poo poo

 

[jmaack727]

My dodge is getting replaced my an acura for the wife. Weak sauce I know. Still faster than a kota rt ............next

 

[dakota g33k]

wow you must drive alot, since moving back to NY i drive my dak every weekday but i am still under 70k miles and having this truck for 10 years now (well, actually 8 years if not counting the times it spent rotting storage while i was on deployments)

at least you're still motoring

 

[DakotaLivLrg]

Yeah 20% sucks but its what I expected with my crappy credit, I am just glad I have a payment I can some what manage lol

Sorry to hear the Dak died Scott...,but congrats on the new ride buddy!
