However, the automatic in those is pretty bulletproof. You may just want to drive it for now as a second car without stirring the pot just yet.

Pictures coming tomorrow when I have light! Except for a little dent in the passenger's-side fender, the car is pristine.
It looks like Sunfires, Cavaliers, and Grand Ams would have what I'm looking for. I don't plan on a swap quite yet -- I need to get my '82 on the road at a minimum -- and I also don't have money for it. I didn't see any rust on it, and my understanding is that it overwintered in the garage while the owner was in Florida, so rust should be all right... I'm hesitant about taking it out in the winter, or even the city at this point.
The interior is pristine, and EVERYTHING WORKS! I'm not used to that from my cars.
