Nothing was wrong with mine, just bumper was hit, and the owner bought it brand new, didn't want the repairs, insurance covered, was towed. Everything is smooth, brakes, stock everything and it looks the same as yours

The torque converter was going, and when they took it out to be replaced it they figured it was just gonna be easier to rebuild the transmission, it was well within the drivable range, but it was gonna need some more work sooner or later... so decided to do it now. Had the plugs and wires and a few other things I was putting off done now too. The car is in the shop till tuesday and I don't know the vin off the top of my head.
She ran like a champ even when the converter was going, like a new car... just the road noise every integ owner complains about when the car gets a few years under her belt hehe. I'm not sure of the specifics of the transmission now, the guy was highly recommended though, I'm sure it's well up to par.
