is it a good buy?

[eugenesxyby999]

someone is selling a 94' 3000gt SL for $2500 (negotiable). Its 108k miles manual.

he says he has an oil leak, and his A/C is not working. would it be a good deal?

If you go by KBB it is , but my brother had one and it stayed broke worse than my eclipse does . Personally I would not get it but it's all if it's worth it to you.

I own a Dodge Stealth R/T... worse purchase ever.. -.- It hasn't driven correctly in 3-4 months. I've done everything under the sun to get it back up to just being able to move faster than 40mph, replaced countless things.. and it just keeps repeating itself.

These cars, the Stealths and 3kgts are ridiculous to repair, are expensive, and not worth it.

go to 3s.org or whatever the 3000gt forum is.

Def. do not buy it, these cars are about as hard to work on as a BMW.. And cost a arm and a leg to repair, that is why you see so many people selling them when things go wrong.

Those cars are less reliable then a DSM, twice as expensive to work on and about five times as hard. Plus its basically just a heavier more expensive dsm.

thanks for the comments

These cars are so cheap these days, dont settle for anything less than a turbo awd model. They may be hard to work on but its worth it in the end if you ask me.

My n/t stealth has been one of the more reliable cars i've owned and at 245,000 miles its still going strong.

^ God, if that's true.. come fix mine. It's a lawn ornament at the moment.

I've had mine for 6 years now and besides alt.,and rear calipers i have'nt had to replace anything that was not routine maintenace.

2 of my friends have 3KGTs. They both have rather large sexy lawn ornaments.

The one with the SL has had his on the road twice in 3 years.

The one with the VR4 keeps going broke on maintenance. Or having suicide dear run into him. Seriously 3 dear have rammed his car in 5 years.

I have an R/T...
My damned PTU went out. Running on 4 Cyls. Replaced that. Was driving it to get plugs and wires (4 blocks away) while it was sputtering and missing. Hit a puddle, transmission went into limp mode. Dropped the trans plate and changed the filter.. little better. Ran good for 15 minutes....then found out those two cylinder injectors were now dirty and clogged up. Located both to the front bank...cleaned them up.. ran good for about 2 hours.. started missing again due to the amount of buildup in those two cylinders. Cat was CLOGGED. Gutted the CAT. replaced plugs..ran fine for a half hour.. started doing the SAME damned thing. Reached down to check plugs, got shocked 5 times by one of the plug wires. Now I have to replace plug wires, spark plugs, and pray to god that it runs correctly.

I'm litteraly about to light it on fire.

But, I'd rather conserve thread space & use this one since I have the same question.

90 G60 Corrado with 134k. Possible brake booster vaccum issue.

Worth trading? I know I know, mine is potentially faster. But seriously, aren't Corrado's kind of rare? Why is the KBB so low on this.

 

[Tanro]

No one knows wtf it is?

It simply wasnt maintained. i ran into similar problems with the auto dsm.

 

[dsmdeliveryboy]

Corrado's are DOWN, I love those cars they're awesome cars.

 

[rEclipserGST]

How reliable? Hard to work on? Expensive to fix? I mean, they look sexy. More than likely handles like a dream. & 1.8 liter supercharged Volkswagen... figured I'd throw that out there since it's easier for some to type ignorance rather than research. God gave us google for a reason.

I love my car. But the stress of money, family, & the economy is draining me. Especially since mine is not awd

Man, I changed everything in this car the DAY I got it. =/ Drove great for 2 months and then just started self-detonating on itself.

One problem started it all. plus you ran into enough of a puddle to short the tranny harness
