| Moltrax | My name is Nick and i am 20. I have a 98 Camaro, click here for pics , but i really want a Prowler.. I cant afford a new prowler but i love to work on cars, ( i work at firestone ) does anyone know where i can obtain a prowler, wrecked or one that doesnt work, since i cant afford a new or used one..being a college student.. if someone could respond and tell me how i can get a cheaper car of my dreams PLEASE do so. thanks!!! |
| Rpowell593 | Good luck. Prowler's are wierd beasts with pricing. I've seen salvage titled ones go for over 20,000. And then a perfectly good one for as low as 27,000. So don't think there's a lot of room to taking a wrecked on and fixing it. |
| Orange | Anything "wrecked" would be too expensive to fix right even if you did all the work yourself. You have a better option in waiting for a higher milegae prowler... Good luck |
| Pantera | Nick, I would try to find a high milage cat over a wrecked one. I have seen 80k prowlers in the low 20's. Nice Camaro.. |
| tangled up in BLUE | listen to these guys.....save your $$$ and buy one that is complete and driveable....you will be $$$ ahead in the long run....parts are rare and expensive... |
| Black Tie 161 | Hi Nick, welcome! I had a black 98 Z28 I bought new...had the same exact wing too! I also did the free ram air mod...it was really fast, but I guarantee the Prowler will erase any other car from your memory. Don't buy a wrecker....too unique to fix cheaply. Like the others said, you can get a good high mileage Prowler for less than your Z 28 cost new! |
| Moltrax | where can i find a higher mileage prowler, ive been looking for years! i live in michigan(probably not the best prowler state) but if anyone can leave a website or information about getting a cheap(er) prowler anywhere let me know, thanks! |

Uh Oh ... wait until CJ reads THAT line! LOL Best of luck in your search. Like anything worth having, sometimes the hunt is the best part!
|
| halicat | the best Prowler State would be one that you could drive your dream 12 months of the year.... i think it would be hard to argue with that... |

Look online at specialty car dealers... good luck!

| BradleyG | Hi Nick and welcome. Try Autotrader.com and search for both Plymouth and Chrysler Prowlers. I just looked and there are 171 Prowlers priced from $26,000 to $50,000. That's where I found mine at a fair price. Wait until you find the one you want and go for it. Nice looking Camaro. Best of luck. Brad |
| CJ | Okay, and why is Michigan not the best Prowler state? After all, they were built here!! I have two cats, we have a great bunch of owners here in Michigan (except for Meancat...don't listen to him!  ) and some great prowlin events. Did you see the 60+ Prowlers down on Woodward last August??  That was us!! ------------------

| Ray | I just knew that Michigan comment was gonna ruffle CJ's feathers!! =)) LOL |
| ed monahan | There are not a whole lot of high mileage Prowlers since the cars are 3 to 8 years old, at the most. Most Prowler owners do not drive a LOT of miles, but there are a few who do drive them daily. I don't recall ever seeing a high mileage car for sale on POA, other than Waynew's and his is highly modified and would not fall in the low dollar category.
What is the top amount you could possibly afford? I have a 99 with 48,000 miles but I am not going to give it away. I may be interested in selling it since I have a 2002 Candy Red, also.------------------
 |
| CJ | My feathers aren't ruffled..........I just need to set him straight! |
| Moltrax | thanks for all the tips guys!!! and ED i emailed you about the 99 please respond...sorry CJ i should be more considerate to the cat's hometown. and i will be sure to keep everyone posted on my search!!! thanks!!! |
| Ed W. | OK, who bad-mouthed my State? Winter is the reason that makes us appreciate our
"Prowler" sunshine driving even more. You members of the South only take your cars for granted...................
run the mileage way up, the cars are worth less. Michigan
"Kat" owners are forced to store for the winter, thereby keeping the mileage down, thereby increasing the value of our Prowlers. (Who writes this +%#@&* anyway? Whoops, I guess I did!)
I wonder if I managed to convince anyone with this diatribe, probably not. I don't believe it. I'm just jealous!
|
| halicat | come on ED..... slowly step away from the prowler.... its still winter.... we'll get you help ! really |
| Ed W. | Pepsi, I need a Pepsi!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Rpowell593 | I took mine out today. I think that makes Florida the greatest state for Prowlin. GREAT - now all prowler owners will make a mass exodus to the sunshine state.  |
| 99prowler99 | I dont know..So Cal is a pretty nice prowler state. Would be tough to beat but im sure Fl is great too. |
| Ed W. | Maybe so, but who wants to hang around "high mileage" ....................just kidding you guys.
It's bad enough the hairline is high mileage........ |
