Second: damnnn i'm jealous at you guys and girls.
The don't sell the prowler in the netherlands.
So i'm thinking about importing one here.
Cause i just love the car :-)
But i need info.

What is a good price for a second hand prowler?
Are things that i should look at when i buy one?
I mean like known engine problems if there are any.
And other stuff like that.

Hope you can help me and come up with good advise and tips.
Thanks a lot.

No engine problems,,,,,,just the little things pop up once in alittle while. Where could you have it serviced would be my question to you?

Price? What it will bring in CASH today! Varies alot. Mileage, condition, warranty?, and how driven would be important factors to consider in pricing. Good luck

There are no "engine" problems that I know of. There are a few minor mechanical issues... such as the center caps on the wheel break easily, and there are some squeaks in the dash and under the hood. There are a few other things that may or may not occur - I have heard of problems with chrome on the wheels. Especially since you are out of country and will probably not qualify for warranty work, be sure to check condition of the chrome on the wheels (check for peeling, rusting). Check the headlights for condensation.

I have isolated all the squeeks in my car - so I can help you with that if that is a problem with your vehicle.

What color do you want? Just let us know and we will provide you some leads. If you find one that you want inspected, again, just let us know - We have members from east coast to west coast who are happy to help out.

"The Chairman". Is that something like "The Godfather"??? (Bear in mind - the trunk is not large enough to carry bodies... lol...jk)

By the way, your english is perfectly fine...
later,
Damon.

Thanks for your answer.
So if i find one i can just post it here and put on a friendly face and ask someone whois lives near by to check it out. A reward will be paid offcourse.

Well the orange colour looks amazing.
And it's the supporters colour of our country.

And then my nickname.
I use The Chairman because i'm in a wheelchair.
I broke my neck when i was 16.
But luckely they can adapt automatic gear cars in such way that i can drive them with my handicap.
I know the boot wouldn't allow a fould up wheelchair in there.
But i will just dump it on the passenger seat.

Thanks again for your answer.

If you are interested I will go get a firm price. Let me know if you are serious about an Orange Prowler and I will check it out. It has not been sitting outside. It should be close to perfect.
On the downside, I do not know if a wheel chair will fit in the passenger seat. There is not much room in the car. i don't want to throw a wrench in your plans but I don't think a wheel chair will fit.

Ed thanks for the tip,
But first i have 2 get all facts straight about the total import cost into the netherlands.
I think when the kat will be finnaly imported the total price to get it here and street legal tax and all that other stuff to squeeze money out of you will become a total of 2 prowlers in the us.
So i have 2 find ways to bend the rules here and there. :-)

And the about the wheelchair.
I managed to get it into a mini cooper so i think that a prowler shouldn't be that big of a problem.
If it is i will by a smaller wheelchair wich will fould up smaller :-).

Tnx for passing on all this info you are all great people.

Ooh ed one thing if you do go to the car dealer can you make a photo shoot so that i can show it of and make people understand why i want an orange prowler.

Because i'm getting commented that i'm crazy.

Orange is a cool colour but you have red in your colours also if I'm not mistakin don't you? Just a pitch for us Red owners What part of the Netherlands do you come from? My wife's families live in Freisland and just outside of Amsterdam she goes there once if not twice a year and I always ask if she's seen a Kat there but she hasn't just a few PT cruisers. If you decide to get one remember the doors don't open the wide so there's a new posting by (crackerswamp) on a extention for getting the door to open wider, just thought I'd pass that on also.
use

Good luck

Yep the colours are red white and blue.
But with football matches everybody wears orange well not everybody but a lot of people wear orange houses become orange cars everything. football is our number 1 sport.

Yeah i read about those door openenrs but i wasn't able to find a picture of it.
If anybody installed or has any pictures of it please post it.

About kats in the netherlands as far as i know there was one and that used to show it in car programs. So like Alley Cat said i'm the lone wolf here if i have it :-).

Thank you laddie roussel,

I'm glad to read there is someone in a wheelchair already driving a kat.
That is like putting fuel on a bush fire.
Now i have to arrange everything :-).

Tnx again

Hoe Gaat 't? Welcome to the POA site. Like Prowler-Keith's wife, my grandparents and extended family are from Friesland. What part of the Netherlands are you from?

Good choice on the Orange color. Hope you find yourself one soon!
