 Subject: Inspecting a used Dak
IP: Logged
Message:
I'm going tomorrow to check out a Dakota I might buy. It's a 99 SLT 4X4 5.2V8. Anything in particular I should look for when going over it and/or driving it? I also plan on having it checked out by a professional mechanic if tomorrow's inspection goes well. Anyone know of any good ones in the SF Bay area, specifically San Jose (I know I just aksed this, but I didnt get any responses and it seemed an appropriate time to ask again). I may just go to one of the dealers around here, but I dont know what kind of reputation they have, so I am kinda inclined to steer clear. Thanks for the help, any other tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.

tires, belts, hoses, oil, and all fluids.
before you drive it feel both sides of the rotor on the front to see if the brakes have started to cut grooves into it.
