Is a Stealth right for me? - 5/6/2008 10:16:14 AM    rickjohnson   Posts: 2 Joined: 5/5/2008 Status: offline So I've been looking for a car to upgrade from my S10 because I'm going to college next year and want something different. I recently came across a 1st gen Stealth ES, don't know what year or any details yet but I looked the car over and the only thing I would say it needs is a little interior cleanup and maybe paint. It's going to be on an auction, it was probably a seized vehicle. Anyways, how would this car be for a college kid? Do they have problems, or need a lot of maintenance? How are they on snow? What does insurance run on them? I was also looking at a newer Monte Carlo SS that'll be on the same auction, but it'll probably go higher than my budget. Post #: 1
