Help with a decision/pricing.., Dodge Stealth Options

Don't let negative people ruin your hopes man.  It's Mitsubishi, it can't be too bad.  Parts for the Celica’s aren't real cheap either.  It's all about what you want, lots of people like those cars.  If you want one, get it.  Any car will have problems, just take care of it and run good parts and you'll be fine.

Wow...must control self....

Just cuz its mitsu, doesnt mean its good. To be truthful, mitsu arent going to rank up there with honda and yota or even nissan. Parts for the celica arent bad either. You fail to realize maintance on a 6cyl will be more expensive too. Yes any car will have problems, but I like to keep mine to a minaium.

I like em...

1. pick manual over auto. 

Auto = Dodge .. crappy and will die
Manual = Mitsu .. peppy and will live

2. Pick the DOHC and never the SOHC.  I've driven both, having said that, the SOHC was super slow and a ST Celica would give this car a run for its money.  The car is super heavy and the DOHC is needed just for the 'sports car' feel.

3.  Just a little FYI, just cause its a RT doesn't mean turbo.... I just hope you know that.

I get to scoff at you again. Its the same dang car. Yes dif options, but there both not reliable. As boostedk2 says, set cash aside to keep it running. If your looking for somthing thats going to be reliable and not need tlc all the time, get a honda nissan or toyota. From all three of these modles, that i and my friends have I have not been disapointed nearly as much as what i have seen from mistu/Dodge.

Doug Doug Doug...

let me put it another way....

The Automatic Tranny is made by Dodge
The Manual Tranny is made by Mitsu

thus... pick the manual.

I'm well aware they are made the same and the only thing thats different is badging and minor cosmetics. And stop with your "not reliable" stuff - we all got wrenches


Mark, answer and which RT model I'd pick. Well definately not the ES model, way way too weak. The RT is ok, and if you're only looking for N/A fun than thats the model to pick. I liked the RT/TT. It was fun and turbo spool will spank your pants. I'd personally not recommend a Mitsu for a first car. As others have said, you're safe with a Toyo or a Honda, possibly Nissan (just check for electrical work). Also, if you are in PA, i'm sure a 240SX or MR2 will not be a good first pick. In all the brands and all the cars I've owned, the Celica is the only one that hasn't given me a single problem in the exception of tire replacement . But if you must get a Stealth/3000GT, I'm sure you can work anything that might go wrong. But please pick the manual or you WILL HAVE TO REBUILT.
