Hey all, new to the vx world. Ive wanted one since the day i first saw them and now have an opportunity. here is the deal. this thing is a little beat up. its got a little dent on the front passenger quarter panel and corner near headlight. huge scratch along same side which is wrippling the paint. hood panel looks like its cracking a little too. interior is in good condition. just has no stereo. the passenger side window does not roll down and the hood latch is broken so you need 2 people (one to pull the cord one to lift up on the hood) to open it. now for the BAD stuff haha.... its got 225K on the clock and the tranny is slipping when going from 2nd to 3rd about every 5th time. The guy has owned it for 150k and never had any work done to the engine or transmission. So i know what your thinking. why the heck would you even consider this.... well he is desperate and i talked him down to $1500...... i know from doing searches on here that a new or rebuilt tranny will be about 3-4k. considering all the car needs im even a little weary paying $1,500. what does everyone think????? any help would be greatly appreciated.
