If you lived closer and I wasnt in the process of buying the house I'd snag this up in a heartbeat (I sooo wanna garage the 8 for the winter next year).

What kind of condition is it in aside from the busted tranny? How are the rest of the systems? Basically, if I fixed up the trans, how much other work would there be to get this thing to the point where someone would buy it?

it is not inspected.....i assume it will pass but havent done it.....like i said its a cheap beater and it does run...it is not a new car and it has flaws.....that is why i am selling it at such a low price....

I'm looking at this as a possibility of rebuilding the trans and selling it.. my dad is a transmission rebuilder, so he could do the rebuild cheap, but the inspection is a pretty big part of the selling process.. :-/

Chris, with the title of the thread i was expecting something far worst. I think a guy over on the NY board is looking for a daily.

Fixing the trans is gonna be too expensive.. the rebuild kit alone is considerably more expensive than most others, otherwise I'd be getting this. Thanks anyway
