it's worth even more because the tranny was rebuilt twice!! that means double the strenth

sounds like he beats the crap out of it. maybe raced it and blew the rear end and the tranny followed... twice

bad car to buy unless it's cheap... it'll def. need some work

That's ridiculous! No, you are not cheap. The guy is dreaming, plain and simple. I wouldn't touch that car with so many decent ones still around with 1/4 the mileage. It is nothing but a future money pit with 200k on it. You would have 20k locked up in the car in no time flat. I hope there are not any naive buyers out there in this guys local area.
