Ok, so I am know looking at the Stealth TT. The reason for this is beacuse the VR4's iv bein finding r just way to expensive. So far i havnt really been able to find much about the stealth tt (trust me iv been lookn). So i was wonering (if you own one or just know about it) if you could help me. All I am wondering is if its a pratical daily driver and is it reliable

So far those are my only questions (but by the time anyone respondes to this ill remember more questions)


Thanx to anyone who helps!

Mine is my daily driver in the non-snow months, always been reliable to me. It all depends on how it's been cared for. Check out the 'common questions' section.

reliable if taken care of.

but, like any used car, i wouldnt blow all of your money on it...keep some just in case money. odds are if someone's selling a car, theres something wrong with it.

Same here, except I do drive in the winter.

it's ok for daily driving...dont expect great gas milage. but the tt allows for a lot of things. it's not a true sports car, but a grand tourer(cheaper for insurance that way). therefor u get luxeries but u still get thrills when u want them.

i like mine, it's been ok to me. just an ecu issue and hit a tree thanks to some bald tires

They are the same the car, the stealth and the 3000GT.

if you could say there is one rly bad thing about the car that you cant stand, what would that be?

[jason_bet]

...age?

also they are addictive. You'll find quite a few owners who have multiple 3/s's. Doesnt sound like such a bad thing...but it can bankrupt you. I pay off my 93 in a few months and i think im gonna get a '99 SL

they are addictive. i've wanted to sell mine for a while, but just can't part with it. my ex can't part with hers either.

weight, granted power kinda makes up for it

age...parts arent gonne get easier to find unless u know someone

I am goign to say no, its not a good daily. While mine has never left me stranded and always started I couldnt think of having to rely on one as a daily. There are alot that do though. The only problem with it is when something goes, its not cheap, and its not easy to get to. Plus not a whole lot of places will work on it, so you HAVE to learn to work on it yourself unless you have $$$ to blow. Plus the urge to mod is unreal and there goes all your money.

yea i know we all know someone...

[EhyBrah123]

so your saying that if i got one and had to use it as a daily drive it wouldnt be smart, on account of finding/paying for parts if sumthen goes bad? so pretty much money problems? right?... also i wont im not that old and dont have the best of jobs, is the car really had to keep on the road? like with keeping up with part and insurance, n all tht other stuff.

(thanx for all the help also)

like I said, it has never left me with a towing bill. Cant say the same of my 00 blazer with less then 100k on the clock. But the alt that went out on my blazer was 50 bucks. Its around 200 for the vr4. Unless you know how to take it off and get it rebuilt for 20 and then put it back on yourself. (kind of get the idea?) Plus people didnt buy these cars to drive them nicely. They are all driven hard so then its really up to how well that person kept up with leaks and fluid changes. Good luck finding a 1st gen that doesn have some sort of syncro problem, and then good luck finding the synco to fix it. On top of that, ever drop an awd tranny? Not fun. I dont want to scare you away from one because if you ever get to drive one then thats all you will want and you will not care. If you want a 3/s then I suggest you start with a DSM. Cheap to find, cheap to fix, and cheap parts. With a better aftermarket. Then if you want to get a 3/s later, almost everything is the same. Or get a 3/s and a cheap honda to daily while you do have fun with your 3/s.
