hey guys, what kinda mileage should i look for when lookin at buying a prowler? OBVIOUSLY the lowest possible is the answer, but i only want to spend around 30k or under and want to know what the HIGHEST mileage acceptable should be... 30k miles? 10k miles? 100k miles? its kind of a dumb question, but i see some with low miles and some with high selling for the same prices...
thanks

ps, it looks like ill be gettin a prowler before the end of the year! HOW EXCITING!!!

Over all, you are going to get a variety of thoughts on this one, but I would say that you can find something with about 8k-10k miles on it(year 99-00) in that price range.

On a side note, Mine just flipped over 10,000 miles and I cried for 2 days…

I think dmathieu is pretty close as long as you don't get hung up on a color like I did. I and my family JUST HAD to have a yellow one. I found several in your desired mileage and price range in colors other than yellow. I finally bit the bullet and purchased a 2002. I spent more than I planned on but I got want I wanted, I'm happy and that is what really counts!
Keep checking on POA Classifieds, Ebay motors, Autotraders, and you'll find what you want.
JUST GET A PROWLER! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!

well i guess you could say im hung up on 2 colors... either orange or black, i would be happy either way, ive seen lots of black ones at this range
if anyone knows of any black or orange ones, new or used around the DC VA MD area, please let me know!!! im constantly on ebay and autotrader lookin lookin lookin
....
ONE BIG QUESTION, HOW MUCH DOES A NEW BLACK 2001 or 2002 Chrysler Prowler COST??? just average??? 40k ? under or over that???

I mean, hey, i would DEFINITELY love New over Used... but price is a factor in this, as is with most people i guess

you can easily get a new one between 35-40 K, no problem. MSRP is 45K on most models.

Also, unless you are paying cash for it, interest rates and length of term are typically more favorable to a new car.

I'd say, go for a new one, IMO.

Trey, a good lender only wants another 1/2 point for a used car. Check with credit unions, they give the best rates.

it is rate AND length of term. Typically lower and longer for new.

Which means, me could be paying close to the same monthly payment for a used one as if he got a new one (that also has a full warranty)
