the biggest thing i would look at that car is with the waterpump and the tranny. if you bought it for $12,500, you should be shot in the face. $8,000 isnt out of the question, just push for $6,500. anyway, other than replacing the waterpump first thing, if you test drive it and anything grinds in the gearbox, don't buy it or look at investing another $2,000. its one of the biggest problems. and thats about it. ok, if that made no sense at all, its probably cause im drunk and UF has a 4 day weekend because of Veterans Day and homecoming. hope it helps.
