Hi, I'm new here, and I've been interested in the Dodge Daytona for a while now.
I'm going to get my driver's license very soon and I'm considering different affordable options. Although Daytonas are older cars, I think it's the perfect first car for me. I recently found an '89 Daytona ES going for $3000 with an automatic transmission, new battery, "like new" tires, one owner, and 88,000 miles on the odometer. Should I take a shot at an older car like this, and would you guys recommend the Daytona to me as a good first car?

 

Go cheaper! I don't think it's worth 3k unless it is mint!

 

Really? I don't see too many around and when I do they're either junk or want twice as much money as this one if they're actually nice and drive-able. But this one is about as close to mint as I've seen.

 

My dad just paid $3500 for a mint iroc rt... I would say maybe if it was a Shelby z with a tII but I just don't think it's worth that?

 

Wow. That's really good. This one doesn't even have power windows or t-tops. Maybe you're right. If it doesn't sell the price will probably drop.

 

I don't want to crush your dreams lol but these cars come as go and the only think you should be paying that much for is a good paint job and rims

 

Ive never paid that much for one but my wife and I are great fans we have 3 at the moment 87 turbo, 92 iroc v6, and 93 es they are all great and so fun to drive if you need help finding one let me know.

 

Well, Daytonas in my area are few and far between. The only source I know of to find obscure cars like it is Craigslist, and most need to be towed or need restoration if it's even worth it. But actually, I recently found an '89 Shelby restored in beautiful condition with t-tops and leather interior for $4900. However, I'm not very good with a manual yet and I'm not sure the insurance rates would be good for a turbo considering I'm a teen.

 

Have you tried
Turbododge.com
Turbo-mopar.com
Both of these are good places to find fwd dodges

 

Alright guys, I just found a mint condition '93 IROC. It has 98,000 miles on it and it's going for $3100. It's absolutely spotless, and has all the bells and whistles except leather interior. It is owned by a car collector and he says he's never driven it in the winter, but I want to go see the car in person.
Given this information, do you guys think this would be worth taking a fairly long drive to look at with the intention of buying? It seems like the perfect car.
