I’m sorry, but I can’t. $1200 is worth it as a parts car. Do it.

No.

Buy it in hopes of a cheap fix; if not youll get your money back and some in parts

I’ve watched it go from $2500 to this over the course of the week. I was actually going to call last night when it was $1500..

I’m sorry, perhaps I wasn’t clear. TALK ME OUT OF IT!

I can’t. It’s worth more than $1200 in parts, and if you fix it, it’s a 150+ mph car. Those things are nuts.

Do it. (As long as you are mechanically inclined.) Tons of potential for an awesome car and/or a profitable flip.

Do it !

Wildly complex, probably difficult to find parts for, Letterman had one, noise under the hood? Might be haunted. How am I doing?

I’d buy it at that price, and I don’t even care for these things. They are worth gold in some markets

Better than everyone else so far! As a masochist (that’s what we E39 owners call ourselves) wildly complex doesn’t scare me. Now the Letterman association on the other hand...

Were I not across the country, I might have already called...

I just remember someone writing about Dave getting pulled over in his 3000GT going ludicrously fast.

I thought old 7 series owners were the masochists? I know what you mean, though. Only had mine for a month before I hit a deer, but I wonder if it was for the best. I loved that car but God it hated my wallet.

You know why it’s cool, but you have to explain to everyone else why your car is cool.

Plus, the 3000GT VR-4 was a car that tarvish tried to flip but ended up keeping for himself.

I realized earlier today that I’m basically turning into tavarish, what with the 540i and the strong possibility of a 3000GT in there as well.

Decay buys too many beaters > Matt Nichelson
02/27/2016 at 17:38

It’s a great car and I love it to the point where I totally ignore that annoying voice in the back of my head that can add.

JDMatt > Decay buys too many beaters
02/27/2016 at 17:39

Don’t purchase a car just so you can look cool on the internet

Decay buys too many beaters > JDMatt
02/27/2016 at 17:44

Oh I could care less what the internet thinks, much less whether people think I’m “cool”. I’m just always on the lookout for decent interesting cars when they hit rock bottom, just happens these two have also both been recently written about in various tavarish articles.

Also, I wonder if those things eat tires?

yea if i was in portland it would be in my driveway right now. Buy it buy it please. Tho not a v4-4 so it wont be worth as much but its still a damn fun car

It is though, same car, same engine, same drivetrain, but ‘murican name

Decay buys too many beaters > Steve in Manhattan
02/27/2016 at 17:49

I bet they do considering the weight

NP! I rarely find working non-turbo Stealths for that price.

As a former DSM addict I can see where you’re coming from on that.

Friend had one just like that. Don't remember the year. He went from a stock 3000GT to that. It was awesome

If it breaks and you can break even by parting it, do it

$1200? The good reason is so I don’t drive up to Oregon and buy it and piss my wife off.

Also, this would be a dominant lemons car.

You should definitely not buy that boring Honda Accord. That Stealth is the shit though ... you should buy that.

Decay buys too many beaters > 190octane
02/27/2016 at 21:08

This is also one of my primary fears, wife would not be happy if I “rescued” another car.

Decay buys too many beaters > 190octane
02/27/2016 at 21:09

If you could get it to race reliably, pretty sure the real dominant cars are the simple ones that last a whole race.

We’ll see, going to look at it tomorrow morning :)
