Junior's 12 Valve
Observer
I personally would not buy a vehicle with that many miles if it's a gasoline motor. Even though the "bottom" end was rebuilt. I would get reciepts, and look around, and be sure it was a reputable shop.
As far as the transmission issue, I find it sketchy. Ask him why he did it, who did it, and get a reputable transmission shop to look it over and be sure it is a 47re, and that everything if working fine. Also bring them a case of beer in advance to give them the incentive to do a thurough (sp?) job.
I wouldn't buy that vehicle imo. Only part of the motor rebuilt, sketchy tranny issues, so my vote's a no-no.
