1991 Stealth ES - Sell or Fix
Being non-mechanically inclined I have hit the wall on a 91 Stealth. Bought it years back for $6,500 and it was in sweet shape. Kid started driving it and I had to put a rebuilt engine in for $3000+, and trans work for $1,500+, I put nice set of wheels and tires on it for another $1500. My kid hit a curb and wiped out 2 wheels and tires and did some minor body damage which was fixed perectly, I still had original wheels which were put back on.
Last straw came when he was washing / detailing the car in the garage it wouldn't start. It turns over fine but doesn't seem to be getting spark. I had a bother-in-law look at it and made some calls and was told it was probably the ECU, I sent that out to be redone but it still wouldn't start. All of a sudden my good deal at $6,500 was over $14,000 and I literally hit the wall and it's been in my garage for 3 years.
The body / paint is a deep burgundy and looks perfect, the interrior is the dark charcoal and also looks really good. The engine and trans were running perfectly until the "no spark" problem. Interested in people's thoughts / guesses on what it's worth as is, and whether I should be taking it in somewhere to fix and what's a guess to cost to fix.
Thanks for any help, if anyone is in Chicago area and has an interest (buy, fix, partner etc) let me know
