magifesq Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Looking for a mid to late 90s 4 cylinder manual transmission with good engine, dents and dings ok as long as engine, tranny, brakes, etc are good, I have around $1k to spend cash, I checked out a 96+/- Dodge Dakota Magnum sport 5 speed cylinder, extended cab, looked like it would do the trick if anyone has one for sale in my budget, thanks , my cell is 740-358-3666 for text or call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 yeah man I hate to be a dick about it but $1k isn't going to get you anything worth the gun powder to blow it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron505 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 As long as you're not in a hurry, I don't think it's impossible. Once in a while a deal will pop up. But as stated, if the motor, tranny and brakes are good, most likely the exterior, interior, clutch and everything else may be shot.I would keep your eyes open in southeast Ohio/WV.Good luck.

idodishez Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 It's possible. I bought said s-10 for $950. But im the kinda guy who takes months to make a purchase like this, looking for the best deal. It was also trashed on the inside. I stripped out the seats and did a thorough cleaning/pressure wash. I know it's worth more than $950, esp now that I did work to it. NoBama 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 i sold a 94 f150 with 5.0 and 160k miles and not a single problem aside from having body damage, for $1000and we bought a 95 f150 with straight 6, under 200k miles, and a good body for $800 at an auctionOP - early 90s ford trucks usually sell for good prices and you get a decent truck for your money...start scouring craigslisttheyre full size - not a 4 cylinder like youre looking for ...but its hard to be picky with 1k budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carwhore Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Got a 96 blazer I can sell for 1200. 4x4 too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbgt89 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah you can usually find a "decent" full size for a grand. Good luck finding a small truck in that price range that isn't a total pile. I paid 700 for my old sonoma, And it needed a clutch, 5th gear was out, brake lines were blown out and it was wrecked in the front end (due to the brakes). Few hundred bucks and a ton of work i ended up trading it for something better. The only way you're gonna get a decent deal is if you have to tow it home.
