Where to buy a dodge cheap but realiable?

Well I'm in the market for a 94+ Dodge Diesel. But I have a few stipulations (who doesn't?) one it has to be diesel. 2) Should be a crew cab or ext cab (whichever makes sense to you), 3) Shortbed.. now where do I find a vehical like this for say aroudn 13k? Please list places to look and ads around the country if you have them. Thanks all

Ebay. It might take a while, but you will find the right truck. That's where I got mine.

as far as ebay I would contact the seller b4 auction ends and make good contact a lot of sellers on there get trade ins from dealers. email them get their phone and make actual contact check them out a little and I didn't pay till the truck was here and I got a look at it and I paid the shipper seperate I also had 40 something pics to look at before hand and shipping and everything figured out before i even bid and then I did the buy it now option because it was a fair price for it. after I got it I was actually happier than i thought I was at first because of a few bonuses I didn't know till I got it. did you lokk in the classifieds on this website? there are alot of vehicles for sale on here.
Good luck

I like ebay also. I bought a miata on a credit card and it was interest free for a year. At the end of the year I paided it off in cash. That was a good deal for me. good luck Jim

Im sure you can find one for that price. It will probably have over 100,000 miles on it, and may require some small maintinance, but that shouldnt be a problem. We just gave $8800 for my 94 after taxes. So far, ive had to do both front U-Joints, an axle seal, front brake pads, and i changed the transmision fluid and filter, and of course an oil change. Ive also put some better used seats in it that i got for free, and we put new front shocks on it. Its in pretty good shape now with a little over 163,000 miles on it, and the engine runs great. You'll just have to look around, and try to get places down on their prices. If you see a truck you like for $15,000, try to work them down to about 12 or 13 thousand. Good luck.

Eric
