25mph is right about the max speed for 1st gear I believe. Humm, I wonder if it might be some simple adjustment or modulator replacement. Even if it does need a new tranny, looks like a nice car thats probably worth putting the money into.

Hmm...it's even local.

I wonder if it would be worth the trouble...? The body damage and tranny issues concern me, but otherwise looks like a very nice car...might even be in my price range...

The Warden,
Go check it out if you have time Would be a nice thing even if you weren't intersted. For other forum members?

Also...how would they know if the engine was operating in such a perfect manner under "all conditions" when the car doesn't even break 25MPH?
I bet its stuck is 1st gear? Someone should ask if it just revs and feels like it won't shift or it is slipping.

Brandon

I'd bet that the rear ending dislodged some algea and the filter is plugged.

Hunter did you read the whole listing? The thing about the colors isn't half as funny as the rest of the listing. Its like a kindergartener wrote it.

Here's a question highlighting my ignorance:
Would that motor fit in my car?
Sure looks the same...

Anyone take a look at the picture taken from BEHIND the right rear.........there is very clear rust by the bumper and tail light of the right rear quarter..............and they claimed no rust.
