Need Dakota advice
 

Been driving a 95 GMC Sierra (13 mpg) since 2003 and have 383,000 miles. Ready to upgrade. Found a 2005 Dodge Dakota, crew cab, 4.1 liter (I was told 4.1 but I suspect it must be a 4.7), 160,000 miles. $5400. Looks nearly new. A little rust bubbling on the pass rear wheel well. Leather seats look better than you would expect. New tires. I would attempt to get him down to $4000. My problem is I have never driven, much less owned a Dodge. What can you tell me about a Dakota. Quality, milage, etc.

Whoops! I put this in the wrong forum. Please move it to the Dakota forum for me.

Moving it now!

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you much about Dakotas... I do know that Rams and Dakotas hold their value much worse than their competitors, and I suspect there is a reason why
