$1000 could turn into $5,000 in 6 months if you take the car to an indy shop. At this point, it would have been better to spend $3k on a car with full records.

Just because the seller claims nothing is wrong doesn't mean there are no impending failures such as the reverse. It may be going out, but he is unaware of it. If that fails, then right there that is $2500 at most transmission shops. It might be a steal, but the wise man should be cautious nonetheless.
