Hello folks!

Just wanted to make this its own post. Can anyone give me any information on any of the three vehicles listed above?

Im looking for experience with common problems, mileage, stories, anything I can get my hands on. Thanks a bunch.

Stealth: poor dealer service, since very few technicians in Chrysler dealers were trained for high-tech Mitsubishi models (Stealth, 2000GTX DOHC, Colt Turbo, Talon/Laser). Parts were waaay too expensive (air shocks for my old '89 2000GTX DOHC were $425... each... yow!)

Poor little woohoo! He knows not of what he speaks when it comes to the Vdubs.

The engine was not the problem, it was the superchargers that self-destructed themselves to oblivion. Replacing it with a Lysholm charger or one from Kompressor Canada usually fixed the problem if the driver did not abuse the car too much...

You just sugar-coated what I said. Same conclusion... :-)
