You shut up, hah.

The transmission is going anyways to if i fix the seal im sure its gonna go anytime now anyways. It slips when i barely press the gas and doesn't like to accelerate. It was a pain in the *** to drive it with a trailer for over 700 miles.

besides i found 2 decent cars that i might be able to qualify for

The only reason im looking at the hyundai is because its 6 speed manual. My brother had one when it was new and its a decent car.

On the other hand the Saab is a sedan and looks very clean for the age.

Also, Mitch. Can you please send me the title to the truck?

That Saab is at least 2 grand overpriced. It most likely need a turbo rebuild, and it's an automatic... you can find one like that with a manual for half that price.

and a used tranny for an S10 is probably 150...

Ok. I know you know you Saabs. But as for a transmission, i could do that, but since i have a reason now, i want to get rid of the truck and get a decent car.

If you're not ready for at least $800 in repairs on that Saab - don't buy it. That's the "maintainance" mileage where **** start breaking and trust me - you will want to reflash it to stage2 after intake and exhaust

http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/2214586736.html - look at this... fix the head gasket, add a downpipe, exhaust and a drop in K&N filter and reflash to stage 2... you will love it.

Haha, alright. So the Saabs out of the question then. Im liking the Tiburon though and been searching all morning and haven't really seen anything. If only i could find a newer civic for around that price. All the Hondas i see for around that price range have a ridiculous amount of miles and are WAY over priced...

If I were you I wouldn't get a turdburon... although I did do a lot of work on them and they're not that bad. Reliable, basic, ****.
