Virginia is a 2000 S, 145,000 miles, and was not taken care of by the 2nd owner. I spent as much time under her as I did in her. The majority of this year has been work intensive, I don't get much time with my boys when I'm home, and Virginia's tranny had finally worn out. Awesome valve body rebuild though! My wife is very supportive, but she was quick to point out that its not my ability to wrench on the issue that concerned her, it was the amount of time it would take to fix/replace the tranny. Besides, being in a surge status means I can go at any time. So, within a few hours of listing, she was sold.
