Seat belt reels cannot be lubed!

I just looked at the Twin Cities CL, and $4K is about right if the tires are in good shape and no dents. Maintenance history is really wanted on the 1999-2000 cars because of the ETM. An outfit in Canada will rebuild and ETM much better than any dealer XemodeX.com

There is a TSB to drill a hole in the bevel gear box to aid in flushing.

Check the tranny fluid, new = bright pink. Dark brown = go home and keep looking. The dip stick has a yellow handle and is under the intake air duct on the driver's side - hard to see.

Make sure all of the electrical components work, SR, windows, locks, climate control, etc.

If the dash temp gauge is in Celsius instead of F, the battery has been disconnected and seller is trying to hide a check engine light.
