I don't know if it will last for a year or two, the ad did state that with it's mileage and condition......It Won't Last Long! it may have already disintegrated.

Currently on Ebay

1999 Prowler 9,679 miles buy it now $24,900
1999 Prowler 9,963 miles buy it now $24,995 or best offer
2000 Prowler 6,353 miles buy it now $29,987 or best offer
1999 Prowler 4,644 miles buy it now $28,750 or best offer
1999 Prowler 7,400 miles buy it now $26,500
1999 Prowler 7,716 miles buy it now $25,850

Just to list a few.

Personally for me I would not touch a 17 year old car with only 4,000 miles. It has not been driven enough. There will be some that disagree, but others that will.

Please feel free to inform any potential buyer about this site.
All are welcome and generally speaking, we as a group are willing to help inform and educate others if they ask.
There are a few areas unique to these cars that any potential new owner should be aware of so they can make an informed decision.

I have owned my 2000 Prowler since 2008 and it has well over 50K miles on it at this time.
It is by no means a high mileage vehicle by normal standards, but at this time is still not considered low mileage for this make and model.

I for one would be hard pressed to let my car go for anything less than $30K, more from sentimental value than anything else.
It is my hope that you are able to find a good caretaker for the car being advertised.

So today I read the post from dstyers concerning the 2002 Chrysler Prowler his company has for sale.

Here is a man simply trying to make a living and provide for his family.

Based on his ad, he seems proud and sincere about the vehicle being sold at the dealership (his job) where he is employed.

I was sad to see some of the replies that members of this site posted following this man post.

The attitude behind them fell nothing short of the comments left by readers at the news site I read on a daily basis.

I often think "If you were in person, would you say that"

In addition, if someone addressed you the same way about your job, how would that make you feel.

I am simply embarrassed for this site. I have always believed this site was above and beyond this sort of negative expression.

I know some of the comments were in jist. But if you read the whole dialog, you would see how this might make Dustin feel about posting on this site ever again.

He, Dustin, was simply bringing us a vehicle for sale. To make the member of this site aware of the vehicles presence.

I am sure, he DOES NOT set the price of the vehicle. He only makes the vehicle aware.

I love this site.

Please guys, Dustin, is simply doing what he does for a living.

Keep Prowlin Dudes

This struck me the same way. And then to go on and ask the salesman to pass on info about “this site” after making fun of the salesman’s post. Just came off wrong. Sorry but it did.
There is a member selling one on here ,a 99 , 37k with trailer for 34k

Completely agree ... and to have those that know little to nothing about cars chime in and provide dealer advise is humorous at best. Frankly, if he has a local that comes in and takes the car at o near his asking - guess where I will go to sell my car - certainly not here, where the price is bashed down time and time again.

No introduction, and apparently no research was done.
Why would an informed seller bother to advertise which choice of engine and transmission the car has when there were no others available?
I don't generally have a high opinion of used car sales people because unfortunately a large percentage of them are not to be trusted.
While the individual posting this vehicle may be genuine and only be trying to do their job, stating to obvious is bound to get reactions such as the ones posted.
Maybe by introducing themselves and providing a little history of the vehicle being advertised (If known) along with a few more photo's would have been a good idea.
At least the term "Rare" wasn't used to describe the car.
A link to the dealer's website might also be beneficial for those who might have a genuine interest in the car.
As I stated earlier, I sincerely hope that a good caretaker can be found for the car.

Lets break this down: New Care Taker will pay $33K plus tax, tag, title.

Then they will have to do all the expensive maintenance listed below:

Flush Radiator
Replace Hoses
Replace Timing Belt
Replace AC and Surp Drive Belts
Replace Water Pump
Replace Thermostat and Seal
Drain and Replace Oil, 10w/30 Synthetic with STP oil additive for the lifters
Drain and Replace Power Steering Fluid
Drain and Replace Brake Fluid
Drain and Replace Transmission Fluid
Replace Spark Plugs with Bosch +2
Replace all 4 Tires, 20yr old Run Flats..ugh

That's just to start enjoying the Kat. The price tag will be over $40K No..Thank you.

What about these items, and have they every been replaced:
Front Ball Joints
Front VSL
Window Regulators for both sides
Plus any Recalls that may not have been performed

Hopefully the Kat will find the right Care Taker.
