Traded for a Prowler

REDIdrill · 08-24-2008, 04:22 PM

Well, I did it. I got the urge to trade my SSR off for a Prowler (2001 Blue with only 5,000 miles on it). I have always loved the looks of them. I don't have the garage space or the time to drive two toys. I will surely miss the SSR, as it is the first vehicle that I have gotten rid of that I still REALLY liked! I will certainly miss the V-8 sound, the power roof and the storage space, but will make do. I will also miss the fine folks here on this forum, but I will stop in occasionally to see what is going. I really enjoy reading the OFF TOPIC thread
& will probably continue to do so.
See ya around. It's been fun!!

I had a '99 chrysler with the same powertrain. Nice car but the electrical issues were terrible. 2:00AM 75mph on the freeway and loss of all electrical, LIGHTS ETC. multiple issues etc...

I also like the "look" of the prowler, but I don't think I could part with

.

...You'll be back.

Congratulations Charley! Good choice If I didn't own an SSR I probably would have a Prowler myself.
By the way just so happens I make a Light-up Windsuppressor for the Prowler when your ready let me know!

Oh no!

TRIPL G · 08-25-2008, 10:01 PM

Congrats! My brother has one customized and he loves it. He does like the R and space to carry things but wants his Prowler. Good luck and keep in touch, TRIPL G

If you had to trade - the Prowler is a good choice. Both totally different vehicles.

abadssr · 08-28-2008, 05:30 PM

the wife and I would like one

HarborRide · 08-30-2008, 10:11 PM

What? No pictures of your proud purchase? No testimony about how much you like the Prowler? Are you already in the market for another R??

kul52 · 09-09-2008, 10:49 PM

Hey - I did just the opposite 2 years ago - sold my Prowler and bought a custom SSR. Love both of them. The Prowler had 151K miles on it and was tons of fun to drive for 5 1/2 years. The SSR is a more practical daily driver for me, plus I love the V8 and shifting gears. Also I don't need nitrous and a stroker motor to make it go fast.

Have fun - the Prowler forums have a bunch of great people too!

beer100 · 09-10-2008, 11:39 PM

You actually drove a Prowler for 151k miles? As a regular car?

I drove one for a test drive around the block with the top down. It's a neat car. Rude to drive and ride in, but fun nonetheless - just a bit too much so to be my daily driver.

Royalshowing · 09-11-2008, 01:23 AM

I had a prowler. Should have drove it first. Would have never traded for it. Worse, yes I said worse highway vehicle I have ever owned. Above 70 MPH, jumped every which away, but straight.

jvmax · 09-11-2008, 09:14 AM

Just get both like me. I have had my Prowler since 2005, and this year got the matching SSR. I love the way the Prowler looks, definitely not a daily driver. Now the SSR is a daily driver, more practical, love the v8 and 6 speed manual. The SSR and Prowler are 2 factory retro hot rods that in 30-40 years everyone will want. They are what people try to build--resto rods, but came from the factory!!
