There are two rules here: it has to run and drive.

Above is a 1994 Dodge Dakota 4x4. It has a V8. It has a manual transmission. It has not one, not two, not three but four wheel drive. Nice. What price is asked of this excellence? No more than $400. Excellent.

According to the seller, the car has four “good” tires, the transmission “shudders” and the rust is described as “badly.”
