    If it was less than 1000 bucks?




    Yea, I'd probably buy one as well :laughing: that 99 echo was plagued with so many issues though

    Must be a lemon cause they have pretty high reviews for what they are.

    Just noticed where he's from; that'd be an automatic pass for me :laughing:

    Dealing with rust on a vehicle is the equivalent of a Californian driving a 2WD Silverado with street tires on the snow for the first time visiting Colorado; not prepared to handle that shit :rofl:

    The fact that you took the time to look is bothersome.

    If you would prefer to buy and repair it yourself, I can do that too. I'm probably 8-10 weeks out on this at minimum. I wish I could find a damn technician. Nobody wants to work anymore evidently.

    So i'm slowly digging into this. Looks like it won't matter what year dakota I grab them from, they're pretty similar through all the generations. Any idea which years you had good results with?

    Technically, it isn't. It is Chenese made and somewhat of a POS, but that's what you pay for I guess.

    Girls tend to get in more fender benders more often, where guys will have years with no accident and then one day get into a catastrophic high speed front page police chase wreck that costs the insurance company $$$$$$$$$

    If I had to guess

    Literally every person I've ever heard of closeish to me totaling a vehicle has been a female. Some plural. I don't get it either.

    Every generation is uglier than the last. And then mitsubishi even took it a step worse.

    Looks like we've got a bunch of that gen in the local picknpulls, might wander over there this weekend.
