If a Chrysler, spend 6k and put 2k in reserve for a tranny.
If GM, spend 7k and put 1k in reserve for head/manifold gaskets.
If Ford, spend 4k and have 4k in reserve for most anything.
If import, spend all 8k (to get something under 150k miles) and have the same amount available on credit for most anything.
Is there anyone whom I've not yet offended?
Funny thing about the Chrysler trans. I don't seem to recall too much squawking from the sedan/coupe owners about the transmissions. It seems to be limited (mainly) to the minivan owners. It appears that the design is sound in most chassis ..just not under minivan duty. Perhaps the drivers are the design flaw
