Well there is a 92 Dodge Stealth RT TT on craigslist that i've been interested in and am not sure if it's worth the buy.
It is cheap, but it has 170k miles on it :eek:.
He is asking $3500.

"It has wrx 13t modded turbos- down pipe- 3 inch exhaust - lowered springs- etc- I even have all the stock turbos and parts."

Here is the "details"

"No ridiculous offers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 speed- 170k miles
lots of mods.
cd player, leather, all power.

Car runs good I drive it to work every day. Smokes a little - I use lucas oil treatment between oil changes and it smokes white smoke . "

^ what he said, i would definitely make sure he has proof of 60K, 120K maintenance. If it was taken care of it could be a great car, I would honestly take it to a mechanic and have them do a compression test, check the oil and coolant, and go for a long test drive to make sure when everything is warmed up you dont get any noises. My stealth has 231K miles on it, granted it has a new 60K mile motor (old one was running strong but the crank pulley broke and made some valves hit some pistons) but it still has stock suspension and brakes and they work fine.

depends on if you are looking for dependability as a daily driver or not or understand that there will be some mechanic type work needed as you drive it daily. Car looks good, price is low, smoking can be an indicator of needed engine work, or just a bad gasket somewhere, its something to beware of though. Just be aware that TTs can be costly to maintain, and you should be fine. At this stage its easier to maintain a good running car than to fix a broken one.
