If he does go with the dakota tell him to get a 5 speed, the automatics suck horribly.

visit http://www.dodgedakotas.com and look around before you buy a dakota.

But isn't that in Canadian dollars? :) Still a good chunk, though

Yeah, that's in Canadian. So if it were in American dollars it would equal to them trying to charge me around $45 500 but I got it for a deal of $36 000 so that's a 21% markup in price. So just consider that percentage when buying a vehicle. Then you know how much you can get them to go down. They always act like they're getting ripped off when giving you a deal. Puulease, they must laugh when people pull off the lot without bargaining.

Maybe a Tacoma? Not one of the short S10 sized ones, but the lifted, higher Tacoma's. They run forever and look pretty good too. I've heard rumors with Chevy's these days, that's why I bought a Ford.
