$900 is to much for so much work

$900 aint bad for a southern car in my eyes.

Rebuild the trans and fix the other smaller problems you'd have a good running car for under $2,000.

Bills ways are usually the easiest. You'll come to realize if you stick around here enough that that man is a 3800 God lol.

This..

Especially with just - pinch of rust. Most of those things can be easily fixed or repaired for cheap. I say go for it!

Yup you'll catch him on here often during the week. Not to worry anything you might get stuck on post and usually you'll get help before to long. These cars are cakewalks to work on compared to most everything else.

Building these cars is like playing with legos... It is all easy.

Now if I buy a tranny online what code would I look for? I'm thinking it's MN7 but I'm not going to lie,those codes look chines to me.

I only say that because I bought mine for $1400 with a blown motor( ran, just knocked like hell), had 40k on a new trans, well taken care of, needed nothing else, and the guy had receipts from 2001 until 2011 when i got it.

Trans no biggie, but your paint, the passenger door is hitting the fender needs new pins, no head unit, LIM been changed to aluminum? who else knows whats wrong with it once you get it crusing at 70mph. But of course that is a gamble with used cars. Its your 900!

Wow you got a pretty damn good eye . I didn't even say anything about the door and you got it right on with one photo!!! What's the LIM? Like I said I'm a fan of these cars but never had one so there is a boat load of stuff I still haven't look into.

The owner went up to Dallas and the tranny he found was a 4t65e HD but the tranny wouldn't work with his TCM. Just trying to make sure I get the right one.

Lower intake manifold (lim) gasket. Usually how the motors blow because coolant gets in the oil. 97 is a problem child.

What would be you no BS haggle take it or leave it offer?

Offer $700 and see what happens, point out every dam defect, jack the car up and try to find something crappy, maybe a broken sway bar will help! 900 aint horrible, but a penny saved is a penny saved.
