Automatic Transmission
I had heard that if i get an automatic SE or GXE and its got around 100K miles on it, i should get a rebuilt transmission or something. If i do get this car, do I need a rebuilt transmission and how much would that set me back?

Would i need to replace a 5 speed transmission after that long too or no? And if so please tell me THAT would be cheaper...

it should be cheaper than the auto.

Check to see if the previous owner has records of transmission service. If properly maintained, these units are pretty trouble-free. I get mine flushed every 15K miles. Expensive, yes, but at 156k miles, it still shifts nice and firm like when I got the car at 65K miles.
I learned my lesson the hard way on a previous car.

I can testify to the price. My rebuild was $1800 for my 90 GXE, but at 176K. Sucks, but I got the car for free from my sister, and I have all the maintenance records from day 1...so, I guess in the end I paid $1800 for my "free" GXE. Realistically, I can't complain much- the rest of the car is pretty cherry.
Basically, everything mechanical eventually wears out. But like these folks have said, preventive maintenance can make it last alot longer. Look into a cooler as well. Supposed to help alot.
