-This Dakota runs well, with no mechanical issues. For the 6 years that I have owned, I have kept up regularly with the required maintenance. -There is a small rudt patch one front fender (which is common in this model). - Interior is in good shape, except for usual wear to the driver's seat - Having a canopy gives extra protection (peace of mind) for your valuable possesions and tools etc. Plus protects them from the weather, especially in winter
