Try to find a 5 speed.
A manual transmission will last a lot longer and be a lot more entertaining to drive, too.
On the other hand, automatics get progressively more sloppy and leaky especially after 100k miles, and you can easily get into nightmare situations where you pay for repairs and still have problems, as it takes a good mechanic to properly rebuild an automatic transmission.
That said, $2500 is a pretty good price if there is no rust. |
