Hey
I was offered a trade today for my 2000 Dodge durango straight up for a 1999 dodge dakota. my durango has a 4.7 engine, auto tranny, 4x4, 210 000 KM (130 000 miles is a rough translation) Every option dodge offered except heated leather seats and it has a tow package.
The Dakota is a club cab, has a 3.9 liter engine with a manual 5 speed. It looks clean inside but its not leather, no power windows, or air. It has a cd player n tilt wheel and im not sure if the 4x4 is electronic or a linkage and the truck does not have a tow package. It has 130 000 Kilometers which translattes to about 75-80 thousand miles on it.
The way i see it. My rig is newer but has alot more km on it. It also has a list of recipts back to the day it was bought for maintenence at a Dodge Dealership. It comes with an aggresive set of winter tires and a set of all seasons which the Dakota does not get. It is fully loaded, I beleive it is more capable of towing more then the dakota and seats an extra 2 people. The dakota is more of an as is sale. The guy bought it,...had 2 kids and needs something more family friendly. It just took an inspection sticker but not many maintence recips as it has not had it that long.
Should I be asking for some cash with this trade because my durango has way more perks to it accept the high milage? I was thinking of asking for a few hundred dollars and I keep the aggresive tires because they will fit my new truck.
anyone with any experience with these trucks please fill me in. Are they problematic or a decent truck ? tell me anythign you think i should know.
Thanks guys
sorry for the long read
