12v autos are junk?
I'm looking at 2 trucks right now.
the first:
bone stock '98 12v auto tranny extended cab but NO QUAD CAB nothing ever modified on engine or tranny. Only routine maintenance. hasn't been used to tow much at all -doesn't have goose neck hitch. 200k on the clock, and he's asking $8k
OR
'97 12v ext cab w/ 5 spd, new tranny at 190k w/ HD clutch, no mods to engine except fuel pump turned up a bit, has been used to tow quite a bit but runs great. has 200k -asking $8,800.00
the guy with the 2nd truck told me that the older autos are crap and should be avoided. Is this true? I'm not looking for a truck to go fast in or blow smoke, just a good work truck that will last me and tow an occasional load. Does the stock auto tranny w/ 200k scare you gurus??
any guidance?
Thanks!
