So on my 02 40th anniversary decided I didn't need 4th gear anymore. It's going to need struts on all four corners lower control arm bushings and a few other small repairs. Not sure if I want to put that much money into a car with 216,000 miles.

If that's all it needs, fix it. Rockauto is your friend. Good cars cost more than it's going to cost you to put a trans and the other parts in it.

4 monroe quick struts, 2 new Dorman lower control arms (will come with new ball joints AND the bushings- all one piece). Used trans and there you are. If you search hard enough you can do all this for around $1000. This is assuming you can do all the work yourself. Also check Amazon.com for the parts as sometimes deals can be had there as well.

Sell it to me...I'll drive it up from Flint. Is the body clean and pretty rust free?

I can do the work. I can get all the struts,control arms and other parts for around 350 shipped from Rock auto. The trans is going to be a pain. May just pull it and get it rebuilt. Figure that's safer than a used trans

If you get it rebuilt, you're going to spend more than a decent low mileage trans. Just my opinion...

actually, replacing the 4th gear shaft isn't that bad, I am in no way transmission literate and I did it myself on my GTP using a write up on this site...the hardest part is getting it out of the car
