Hello everyone. I have not had a Prowler since I sold my 2001 Plymouth so I am a bit out of touch with the market. A dealer in FL has a car on ebay that has 190 miles on it, it's a 2002 Inca, does anyone know the car and what is the feeling about his asking of $47995? Thank you in advance. Dan |

You asked for opinions so I will respond, though there are some that won't like my thoughts or agree with me. A 13 Year Old car with only 190 miles has not been driven enough. I think if you plan to drive it much you will encounter many issues. I also think at $47K plus it is overpriced. There are plenty of Prowlers on the market with between 15K to 20K miles (and less) on the market for $35K and less.
RARE COLLECTOR CAR!! ONLY 539 MILES! MATCHING TRAILER $34,900 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plymouth-Prowler-B ase-Convertible-2-Door-/181809869463?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2a54b67297&item=181809869463 Yellow 1999 with 520 Miles for $35,900. Not good news for anyone hoping to resell. This message has been edited by BeWare on 07-28-2015 at 04:07 PM |

quote: You asked for thoughts...... By chance,, did you win the Power Ball Lottery? If so, buy the car. After Prowler production ended, the cars left in dealer inventory were given a sales 'allowance kick-up' to the dealers to clear them out of inventory. Roughly, after rebates, the dealers had $36+K in each Prowler still in stock. This car was probably in that concession allowance program, looking only at the mileage. So what's it worth? It's worth what it will bring in CASH, TODAY... ----------------------------------------------------------- My favorite, if you read all the way to the bottom of the ad (buried): ADDITIONAL TAXES AND FEES: "We do charge a $895.00 documentation fee on each retail sale which includes a temporary tag when applicable, motor vehicle documents and transfers and miscellaneous expenses including clerical fees, notary fees and Federal Express and US mail charges. This fee will not be discounted or waived under any circumstance." Wow,,,only $895.00 Doc Fee ....That office person making $15.00 per hour to type for 20 minutes,,sure brings in good extra profit to the dealer

I wouldn't be tempted to buy that one. There is a Woodward for sale here on POA and it is # 2. That will go up in value way before the gold one goes up in value (to get to the current asking price). I would jump on this one. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/5081260492.html It is also listed here on POA. Way better deal in my opinion. Good luck in your hunt. |

I would stick to prowlers under 3,000 miles that way you can spare a few miles each year to enjoy it and it won't turn out to be a high mileage prowler if you decide to sell which are worthless. Jmo |

I am very appreciative of all the input from the experts here on this forum. As for the difference between a 200 mile car and a 5-600 mile car it is irrelevant, they will likely have or have not the same issues. And I do totally agree that the 48k is too much, I kind of was thinking it is around a 38-40k ticket but maybe I am wrong. Feel free to continue with you advice/opinions. |

I have 30k on mine and should be more... 3000 miles or 30-40,000 miles is not a big deal as it will be a long time before any of these cars climb in value which is sad because it is still such a fun car and the family that comes with it. We all know how many people love looking at them when we drive down the road...my only concern will be those parts that my go and there is no replacement other than that find one you like and buy it.

I didn't read all the details on the ad but has this car ever been titled? Correct me if I'm wrong... if not than a factory warranty would be in place when purchased for any problems that may arise from lack of being driven for 13 years. If it has been titled than does it qualify for any factory extended warranty?? This may or may not have anything to do with the retail pricing of this one but it is located in Naples FL... and that location may have a little something to do with the price. jmo Very nice looking car & mileage but otherwise I agree with what others have posted which is basically continue to look. Best wishes. |

Don't know if its ever been titled,,,,,CARFAX would show if it has... Factory warranty.... No After dealer sells the car, or dealer rebates received at the final end of model production,,,,, after a period of time....those cars in remaining dealer inventory were most likely issued a 'in-service' date from which the original/initial 3/36 factory warranty begins. Long passed in this situation, even if not titled ever. Aftermarket Extended Warranty companies probably might sell a extended warranty plan on this car.....but the cost of the plan for a 13 year old car....might be unacceptable to most? Some A/M extended warranty companies will not go back further than 10 model years, from what I've read. Yes, I agree with "continue to look"....those ultra low mileage Prowlers,,,one will be dumping many dollars into if the buyer plans on driving them. Sitting around, going to h3ll.. |

Okay let me ask, in the opinion of anyone who'd like to chime in what would be a fair price for this car? I suggested between 38-40k, does that sound right? Also notice how they labeled it a Plymouth, kind of strange IMO. |

For me to even spend 36k on it it would have to come with a trailer. Here is one with a trailer and only 539 miles for only $34,900 Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=181809869463&alt=web This message has been edited by Efrem 72 on 07-29-2015 at 02:05 PM |

You guys know better than I do but isn't there something to be said for the fact that Inca was only made in one year (Chrysler) and very limited and that black was made in many years and quite a few built? With the Prowler does this come into play when it comes to value? |

Yeah but so is the Candy , Black Tie , Woodward , Mahulland. ...these cars with under 500 miles go for around 35k to 38k but definitely not 47k plus taxes  |

",,,,,,but the warranty did start when I picked them up." Yes,,that is the 'in-service' date recorded by Chrysler, when you took delivery. Didn't matter whether you were keeping them on MSO's or were going to title, which you didn't. If a new Prowler was bought from a Chrysler dealer sitting on one, in inventory,,,say in 2006, I'd bet the warranty 'in-service' date had started and possibly ended, before the new owner took delivery? |

quote: IME, the factory reps usually would be 'nagging' the dealer to put an old car 'in service' so as to remove it from 'in-stock inventory'... They would often reduce your monthly allocation of certain 'hot' models, if there was 'aged' in-stock cars... But I think there was a way to reset the warranty start date on vehicles that were actually 'still new' |

Hi prowlerdan, What has been said here is good advice. The car is overpriced by an over eager stealership trying to get as much as possible. With the price asked and the timing, there is no room for sensible negotiation. The best time to buy a sportscar is in the winter, not the summer, so if you can wait there will be better deals.

Here is the simple math in buying a Prowler. The lower the mileage the higher the price. Personally, I would look for one with 30,000-50,000 miles on it. Most are all well maintained. Going down the highway at 50 mph you can't tell one from the other. Even sitting still they will look the same. jmo |
