The transmission, throttle, clutch and radiator were replaced in 2002 as a result of hitting something in the road. Not the car's fault. Replaced the drive belt and water pump early 2003. Some minor brake work 2003. Master and slave cylinders replaced 2004. I don't think both were bad, but garage threw out the old parts before I could check them. Harmonic balancer replaced 2004. Dealer says a problem with the A/C caused the damage and that is unhooked now. The driver side window has gotten a little temperamental of late. Other than that this has been an awesome car. Basic maintenance has been for parts that just wear out. We're pushing 200,000 miles here!! Gas mileage has been great, 25 MPG + depending on city/highway. Just starting to use a little oil. No smoking until the inspection station tromped the heck out of the engine repeatedly. No problem with windows fogging. No ticking. Just starting to use a little oil, but may be due to the damage to rings and seals by the inspection station. I will have to check out the stem replacement as the engine actually runs great. Otherwise I'm hoping to replace the engine, make a few minor repairs, take out a few dents and dings and have it repainted early 2005. I love this car!!! It is such a blast to drive. Definitely one of the best purchases I have ever made.
I love this car!!! Fast, fun and handles great.
25 MPG is great gas mileage? Even my '80 Malibu got 28 MPG with a V8!
Then again, the Stealth does look a hell of a lot better...
I have had my dodge stealth for 16 years and have barley changed the oil in it. It has 150,000 miles on it and now I drive it 80 miles a day. I love the car. The only thing I don't like is that I just put 18" rims on it and it has gone from 27 miles to a gallon to 20. Hopefully I can get my old mileage back...
