Hi Woody, :welcomewagon: to the forums!!
If you're sure that is the only issue with the car, then it's probably a good deal. I say this because transmission codes cannot be read with a standard Elm327 device like the auto parts stores use, you need a better scanner for these. That being said, in California(as you're probably aware), auto parts stores can no longer legally read codes. So you may have gone to a shop to get the diagnosis. Donbrew, thanks for moving this, I was just heading to do it myself. |
Moved to a new thread.
I din't know what you are asking. If the code tells you it needs a new trans solenoid you should ask a trans shop for an estimate. then deduct that from the KBB.com price. The part costs about $28 and labor is probably about 6 hours. You would probably replace some other stuff while in there, like fluid etc. |
Welcome to the site, if you’re buying it for $1,600.00 yes great price, a little fixing to do, but worthwhile. These are fun rides, great on fuel, easy to repair, if you’re able to get the actual codes showing, and post them here , we can decipher them and advise you better. |
At 130K what about the chains ?
|
Well, yes, I always recommend at that mileage , change the timing chain and the balance chain to ensure , long life. |
Welcome aboard !!
