Soarer for a Stealth!?

[J_Parker]

I've been doing a lot of thinking over the past little while, and well... I want to trade my Soarer for another Twin Turbo Stealth. I really don't care what year, as long as it's in good condition... Hell, it doesn't even have to be running right now, so long as it's nothing mechanically critical wrong with it. I'm just looking for some opinions of what condition, year, etc I'd be able to milk out of the Soarer. Thanks in advance for your input guys.

Here's some pictures and information to give you an idea of my car.

Whats with the night pics? Does it look that good in the daytime? If so, I'd say you might be nuts.

Why don't you like the Soarer?

It does yes, I had one of my photographer friends come shoot the car a while ago, and he edited them with a little more contrast. I just want another 3/S :p It's not that I don't like it, it's just not really for me. I like a manual trans a lot more, and a sporty looking car, it's just too luxury looking imo. Also... I know nothing of them in terms of tuning and I hate working on it with a passion.

I'm not a fan of the Soarer but a RWD 1JZ-GTE would be fun to drive I would think. It's rather heavy but then so is a 3S. I say keep the Soarer unless you find a very clean Stealth.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in no hurry to be rid of it :p I'm just not all to savvy on them so I wasn't sure what condion Stealth I could fetch for it.

[J_Parker]

I'm talking to the owner of this one right now, he seems like he may be fairly interested. What do you guys think. Obviously, I'd be replacing the whale tail on it if I can work something out with him.

Too many kms IMO. Also too expensive for something with that many kms. I would expect to pay close to that [prob around $12k] for that in Australia where they are rare. In the states & Canada where there are heaps of them you shouldn't have to pay that much. How much does a soarer sell for over there?

[J_Parker]

They usually sell for around the same price as a Stealth. Given the condition of mine, and the high mileage and the condition of his, a straight across trade would be in his favor in the end. But where I live selling cars like mine is unheard of "truck country". When I first put the Soarer up for sale just after I had gotten it running I had an 18 year old kid offer me a beat up 1994 Honda Civic and a 42" Quattron TV. People here just don't get the value of cars like mine. I love Stealths with a freakish passion, so I could take a fall to have one that I can actually drive again without coming out of the deal like a dirty rag lol.

[PearlWhiteR/T]

Thats one clean looking soarer man. Very nice. I sure as heck wouldn't trade that for a stealth that isn't running lol. Nor would I trade it for that blue TT. Wait it out for a TT thats alot cleaner and with lower km's.

I would like to, I've sent out some emails to some people over on your side of the line, hopefully something comes up. There's a super nice red 92 with 115,000km in Medicine Hat that caught my eye right away, I'm hoping to hear back from him soon.

[J_Parker]

Wanna see the worst deal of all time? Check this meat stick out. I almost shit when I seen the price :p

My bad, It's in Nanaimo, I'm not sure why I was thinking Medicine Hat :p What do you think of this one? Looks to be in stellar shape to me.

Apples and oranges man. Depends on the use -- what are your intentions for the car? DD?

A replacement seasonal driver yes, I drive my cars right up until theres snow on the ground. With the power the Soarer has it's a little hairy on the road when there's a bit of ice, even with good studded tires.

[PearlWhiteR/T]

LOL at the white one... does look pristine though. Just asking 10g's too much. I was going to say whoa red one in the Hat no way, I would have checked it out for you. Atleast its a good price, has low km's and seems to be in good shape. If he's willing to trade might be a not bad deal.

[J_Parker]

Not at all, he sent me some pictures on my phone and it looks to be in extraodinary shape, I don't think he's too keen on trading though :( Nobody really seems to be right now for that matter. If you guys hear of any let me know! :p

[Nihil]

Dude, you're crazy! Keep the soarer...that's a poor mans supra ha, I want one some day...that'd be my next car when I have the money and time, find a manual trans to swap in

Haha, if you like it.... I'll trade with you if you have a Stealth :D :p It's just not my cup 'o tea man.

[Nihil]

haha, my base stealth is the only one I'd trade, and I keep debating that since it's a '95...there's a few good parts on it (enough for a 99 conversion), I keep thinkin, I should pick up a VR4 rolling chassis for a grand and swap everything over...one day ha. I always see the few sc300's drivin around and always think to myself "one of these old people are gonna wanna sell the thing for cheap once they drive it on these icey roads" but nothin yet...haha

[J_Parker]

:p I need Twin Turbo lol. I have the only Twin Turbo one in my town right now, so I also have to be careful of how much playing I do ;)

I would call you a f-ing idiot if you traded even for that piece of shit! That being said I don't know what the hell some people are saying here. I would trade in a second for a 3s of the same quality that car. No junker, a low mileage 3s hell yeah I'd trade.

I'm having some trouble finding one up here is the problem though, and selling my car where I live probably isn't going to happen for what it's worth. That and everyone seems to know nothing of the Soarers, and think all 3/S' are worth $10k. I'm going to admit this... I hate living in Canada.

Well good luck, I wouldn't get in a hurry. Just keep looking until you find something worth trading for. The Soarer looks to be in real good condition and it is a cool car so I would have to wait till I found a near mint 3s to trade.

[J_Parker]

Actually, I just found a very appealing trade offer! I have a person in Alberta right now looking to trade me their 92 GTO VR-4, and a 2007 Yamaha R6 in mint condition. The GTO needs a little bit of work, but really nothing I can't handle. The bike is where the deal really is though, I love that thing! The GTO is just a deal sweetener ;)

[J_Parker]

Well, it's looking likely that I'll be getting a 1992 GTO with 115,000km on it on the new years weekend. I'll post up pictures when I get it home and put all of my stuff into it.

Stereo and Viper seats :D

[Amphiron]

That engine in your sig, is that something you have sitting around you're building and waiting to find something to put it in?

[J_Parker]

Sort of. It's out of my 91 Stealth that I had planned a ground up resto on, but there's just too much wrong with it to get it done in a practical time frame right now. So I'll probly strip all the pretty parts off of that and put them on the GTO when I get a long weekend to do it.

[bslade]

I know a guy in Williams Lake area (Nimpo Lake) you might know (Ted) who has three Stealths and Two Vipers. He wants to sell at least one of each.
They are in a LOT better shape than that one in Victoria.....
PM me and I'll give you all his contact info. ...or his username on here is RTTTed.

Cheers,

I'm very intrigued!

[J_Parker]

Just sent you a PM, as well as Ted, hopefully we can work something out :p I'm trying to avoid a Provincial inspection at all costs, they're starting to put the hammer down on the out of Province right hand drives so I've been informed.

[Unknownvr4]

Id trade you :suspect:
