Hi Im thinking of buying a 1999 2.2 xtreme that is on autotrader. It would be my daily driver because my winter beater is to old. It has 126,000 miles and has a new windshield, starter, clutch and transmission. Is there any other motor problems i should look for or anything else. He wants 3300 for it. you think thats a deal??? Thanks

Looking at the list of replacements... I think someone else was racing it or abusing it a little...

Yeah, I'd be a little weary about the tranny replacement. You can't tear up a tranny without some abuse... so just imagine what kind of shape the engine itself is in.

I personally might offer 3K... I think they are trying to hide something...
but then again, its got 126K miles and its a '99...
I bought my 2001 blaZeR2 in 2007 for $6500 after taxes...

she had something like 113K miles at the time...

having replaced the tranny for any reason tells me that it was rode hard and put up wet
