If a 3.8
They had head gaskets problems from day one.
Even a big recall that is now over.
Make sure it was not ran real hot or with coolant in the oil.
If just a head gasket the heads will need reworked and plained and new had bolts.
They had transmission problems to. Which explains the new trans.
With Good tires They handle as good as any front wheel drive in snow but are not a 4 wheel drive.
Can run up into 1000 $ bracked if no other problms.
