I have always had great luck with these type of cars. The paint is good
and no rips in the interior. At $200 even if I have to replace the entire
drivetrain I would be around $1000 to $1200. I can find running engines
with warranty for about $200 to $400 and trannys are around $250 and rears
are about $150, so lets see that is still under $1000.
