New car for me!
I picked up a 1993 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo. Had a fun road trip to go get it. Need a bunch of matanice but it is doing ok. Needs a little help in the looks department too, but it was cheap enough.

Can't pass up a good deal! How long 'til you get dibs on one of the LSE bays?

Re: New car for me!
Well, it was a good deal, but I'm stil broke. $$ is what dictates the schedule for this thing. As far as plans, a 60K service, fix all the problems and start modding.

Re: New car for me!
Thats awsome, glad to see you got a 1993! A lot of people dislike that green, but I personally really like it.

Re: New car for me!
Congrats!
The Stealth TT has been my dream car now or years!
What did you end up paying?
What's the history on the car?

Re: New car for me!
What I ended up paying isn't quite determined yet. I got it on ebay. The guy moved to Arizona and left the car with his brother. There were a few things body wise that were not in the description or not described well. And the pictures must have been from before it happened cause it doesn't show up in them. Also the tires were not 50% as the auction said, two were ~90% one was 10% and the other 0% (down the wear indicators) So I am seeing if I can negotiate a discount.
As for history, I didn’t get much. Came back with a clean car fax, so no major accidents. Apparently his wife drove it. Was parked about 5 years ago cause she got a bunch of speeding tickets and insurance was $2000/6months.
As far as a dream car, they arn't that much, sell the 2G, throw in $1000-$2000 and you should be able to get a really good condition 1G 3S. If you want a 94 or newer though that's were they get into the $10K-15K range.

Re: New car for me!
What's wrong with Green? I have a Green car also (talon). It's not a bad color, especially after a few days...you get used to it and start to like it alot. Plus, you dont see too many Green Stealths around. Nice Car! |

Re: New car for me!
If you need any help getting the paint back to glossy condition, I have tons of products over here you could try out. I anticipate taking a ride

Re: New car for me!
Needs a buffing definately. But first it needs plates with tabs that arn't five years old.

Re: New car for me!
And another one comes home .
All I have to say is chicago sucks with a 2500 suburban and a stealth on a dolly.
Other than that, fun trip, and good buy ryan!
