i mentioned the fact that i was in the market for a DAKOTA 4x4 ... well i found one locally..i went and test drove it today ...i really liked the truck here is a little backround of the truck ... '98 Black Sport EXT Cab 4X4 with 37000 miles ( very low) it has the small V8 everything i am looking for in a truck .
WELL .. we get in to do the #'s .. they were originally asking 12,900 ....before i even drove the truck i mentioned the fact i was looking to be under 10k out the door.
after driving the truck i found 2 very small issues with the truck . one the steering wheel is slightly off when driving down the road . no biggie probl just a camber adjustment
the other is a ever so slight pulsating feeling in the brake pedal . could be rotors .. not sure .. but none the less not major by no stretch...
i come back from driving the truck for about 2 hours ... they hit me at 10,680 out the door ...i say mmmm i dont think so ... he comes back and says 10,300 i said here is the deal .. i work 6 days a week and this is my only day off i dont have time to sit here all day . i counter offer them 9500.00 CASH out the door. they tell me to have a good day
here is my big question to you all ... was i being unreasonable in my dealings ? ... sorry for the long post but we are 500.00 from making a deal .my bank said anything under 10K would of been a good price . again its the whole dealing with a dealer issue .. $ 500 to a dealer is not as major as opposed to us everyday workin class folks .
as a matter of fact here is the link to the autotrader add ....http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?c...8&start_year=1998&isp=y&lang=en&cardist=0#top
