That is hilarious...it seems that a part of the reason for sale is that this board went down for a few days. If he discovers it is up, he may not sell...grab it quickly! :D

Looks like a good runner! Hope it sells. No 3rd or 4th sounds weird, but I bet the ppl on this board can tell you what it is. "gas getter" lol

Too bad you have to sell it, looks like a decent T4wd.

It will need a trans for sure, or at least an overhaul with new gear clusters. A good used trans is cheaper. Unless the car is perfect, $1000 seems a bit high for one with a bad trans, it is big job to replace it. A typical shope would want $1500 to $2000 for the repair or replacement.

there is no rust on the car besides a few knicks in the paint and a bit below the rear window on the back hatch everything underneath the car is perfect at this time i would like get rid of it if i look at it much longer i might just try fixing it.
