No, I don't think the tranny is a goner, not yet. It does has cavitation issues when the fluid gets too low. I took it to a tranny shop (AAMCO) and they told me it's going to cost $1,200 to have it fixed. I honestly think it may be as simple as a gasket. Then again, I am no tranny expert.

Engine mount won't be cheap from what I understand, so is the strut mount. As I said, the car will be perfect if I sink about $5K on it. The interior is in good shape, only couple small cracks on the dash. Right now I am not sure what I want to do with it yet. I drive it pretty much everywhere I go where the chance of getting ding up is high, grocery store, mall, and work (for highway driving and leave it at the airport for days). I just drove it from Maryland to Toronto and back in it for vacation with no problem.

I can live with the sunroof, paint, and A/C problems. Main thing is to deal with the mechanical and saftey aspects (engine and strut mounts) of the car.
