I doubt they are anything special, but who knows. I bought this car for $2000 from my step dad. It needs a new top, tranny and has 124k on it. Think I got an ok deal?

Not bad, your RPO list looks pretty complete. One thing I did notice is that you might want to look at the V73 RPO for the fixed antenna. That code should be U73 instead of V73.

I cant read my own writing 99% of the time. Anyone know what YA7 is?

Yes, RPO code YA7 = Test, Emission, California Assembly Line.

do you think I got an ok deal on the car? it will need $1500 in work.

If you like the car and don't mind putting the ~$1,500 into it, then yes, you got a good deal. It's not so much about the car's monetary value as it is how much happiness it brings you.

Thanks for the insight

I was thinking of this very thing today as I was driving home topless from work. My car is still running pretty strong and the tranny shifts fine. I will need Ujoints in the next year or so... But the car has 150K on it. I was thinking is this car worth the cost of replacing an engine and tranny when the time comes. Right after this thought I carved a corner and had some cute blond in a Sebring convertible coming from the other direction wave at me!

I decided, yeah, it's worth it. The car is paid for and it won't need either of those things for quite a while. I think I will put back a little cash along to cover the expense when it gets here.

There's nothing like running around topless on a beautiful day!
