Any takers? It would be a good beater.

Can you tell me anymore about the transmission problem mentioned?

In reply to Joshua:

Sometimes when driving up a hill the display would highlight all the gears as being selected "P R D 1 2 3 4 5." So to fix it we would just shut the car off and turn back on.

Bad selector switch, dirty contacts?

Interesting.

Could be an easy fix if thats the case. Not sure what is going on since it happens pretty rarely. My sister was using it as a DD until she bought a new car this summer.
