RE: Looking to buy a Stealth - 9/17/2004 8:37:22 AM    thestealth Posts: 3558 Joined: 2/3/2004 From: United States Status: online How many owners? Does it have reciepts for service performed? DOHC or SOHC motor? Auto or manual? Has the 60k or 120k preventive maintenance been done? If not, that service alone can cost a couple grand, depending on who does the work, ie. dealer, reg. mechanic, you. This service is a must. They are generally pretty well put together cars, but they do have their demons. (in reply to StEaLtHLoVeR) Post #: 17

IF it hasn't had preventive maintence would that be bad for the car? if it hasnt my friends dad owns a shop so he will cut me a great deal on whatever i want. Ill try to find out who has done all the service on the car so i can contact them but i still think 3500 is a great deal. Also if it hasn't had the maintance maybe i can get 500 or more off?? Im not sure what will be happening but i will sure post whatever the owner says and mechanics. Thanks "thestealth" for all your comments. (in reply to thestealth) Post #: 18

They consist of plugs, wires, fuel filters, T-belt, applicable pulleys and tensioners, oil pump, water pump and some other stuff I may have not thought of. The T-belt and oil pump are of prime concern. It the t-belt breaks, major damage COULD occur to the valve train and pistons.(on the DOHC motor) The DOHC motor is what they call a "Zero Tolerance" motor, which basically means there is no margin for error. I have close to 150k on my Stealth and other than preventive maint. items it has been very reliable. I have put a few grand into keeping it in good running order, better safe than sorry type deal..... 3500 sounds pretty good. Just for reference the SOHC motor is about 170hp the DOHC is 222hp and the twin turbo has 320hp. In case you didn't know. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to post em.
