Depreciation

Whatever the price for a throwout bearing and 3rd gear synchro is to be installed... parts and labor. Good thing you noticed it before you bought it.

I'd knock off at least $1000 from her asking price as your tranny will need an overhaul.

If the car had not been beat on, the 3rd gear syncro would be fine, so assume this car's been run pretty tough, or the girl doesn't know how to shift.

Thats a good point. Look at it this way: Like the above poster stated that was beat to hell to blow 3rd, so chances are you have other weaknesses in the trans not to mention the rear end depending on how bad it was rodded. I would offer no more then $4,000....err even $3,500.00. Your call but its not in prime condition, miles dont matter. You could have a car that has 80,000 miles on it and beat to hell and one with 150,000 miles on it that was baby'd...depending on which car was beat to hell more makes the difference.

Tranny- $1,000 (at least depending on how you wanna go)
Clutch- $250.00 +
