I'm looking at buying a 2000 LX 470 here in Chicagoland. The one I've got my eye on has 130k original miles and the owner says he had to replace the transmission about 2k miles ago, so at about 128k or so.
What's up with the 2000-2001 transmission? If everything else checks out, would that new tranny be a reason not to spend 12-13k on the vehicle? Is the transmission something that should be done with OEM parts, or doesn't it matter? I really want to get the pricing right if I make an offer on this one. It looks really well maintained other than the transmission.
