[Muffinmanjoe]

yea i wouldnt mind having it shipped here but the thing is i dont trust it, like pay over the internet or the phone i got to see the person and this person selling me his GT SL is my freind from boot camp so, although 6500 may not be the best deal but he spent 4k on putting a new engine one in like 2 weeks ago and it works good now and he paid 8k for it i think when he got it. and im paying 6500 so yea

I've got a 94 base model rebuilt 6k miles ago with minor body damage (its an SOHC) but still I cant even get 2k for it so search around. I understand what your saying however it is a bit over priced IMHO

How is your 94 Base a SOHC when all bases were DOHC until 97?

I was referring to the GT, which is what I thought he was referring to. Lots of referring going on!

I would say get the SL. But dont bother TT'ing it, especially in the service. I'm also in the marines and I can vouch (especially as an E-3 and below) You won't have near enough time/money to do that man. I own an SL atm but am selling it and goin Vr-4/TT (soon hopefully). Get the SL and get familiar with it. Don't make any stupid impulse buys. I know it's cool to "have the fastest car" and all that but after a couple years in the service when you make more money and have more time, and more knowledge of the car sell the SL and get the Vr-4/TT. This is my best advice from personal experience.

i'm going to weigh in on the side of the vast MINORITY.

i have a fwd-tt ATX. it's an awesome dd.

you can buy fwd-tt's for <$6500. for 4 grand, your friend COULD have tt'd that car. it's just not really worth it. you can get 99 bases for ~5k, and 99 SL's for sometimes ~8-9k.

you're young and new to this game. if you're looking for a reliable, fun car--my advice is to start with an n/a DOHC. if you're looking for something to tinker on while you drive something else--get a vr4. worst case with an n/a, there are PLENTY of people/shops on here that can perform a tt-conversion to your n/a. i had my car for over 4 years before i got it tt'd. it took 2 years to get most of the age-related kinks worked out of her. she's the most reliable car i could imagine now.

two final things:

1. fwd-tt's can hold up to 300fwhp just fine. put 275's or 295's on it, and you'll have much better traction.

2. atx is worlds of fun. until you've driven a fwd-tt atx (or awd atx-tt) you can't knock it. it's not better or worse than MTX, it's just different. and yes, selecting "pwr" shift points & turning O/D off makes my car accelerate very, VERY quickly. but...if MTX is what you want, start with an mtx car.

Consider your words thrown to the trash, i tried all last night to tell this guy what to do

Where the hell do you live? i was 18 when i got my 91 stealth TT and my ins was only 1200 a year. Now it dropped to like 620 (im 19)

and as for the guy who said you can pull into a dealer and have then finish a job your too lazy to finish...where can you do this? I work at a dodge dealer and they couldnt find me Any parts, even a T-case for the recall.

new engine one in like 2 weeks ago and it works good now

better make sure that engine has a transferable warranty from the shop that did it. If i was going to pay to put an engine in (which, i would never do because luckily enough, im mechanically inclined) i wouldnt do it just to sell it 2 weeks later and make 2500.
