Topped it off and did a few runs and seemed to be fine. Didn't slip and sailed right up to 80 with no problems.

    So a few hundred in belts, tensioner and trans fluid and she was back up and running. Oh, and 6 bucks for a car wash to pretty her up. LOL

    Need to find more people who don't maintain their vehicles and think they're scrap.

    Btw he was asking 400. Was going to offer 300, but figured at 350, or even 400 I'd do alright. Didn't want to beat the guy up over a good price as it was.

    Strange part it was on CL for about 3 or 4 days before I decided to jump on it. Usually scrap priced vehicles get snapped up right away.
