I am purchasing a car that is a mazda mx-6 1997 with 73000 miles on it. The guy I am buying it from says there isnt a heating core which isnt really a big deal. He says there is a small problem with the transmission. The car wont go into reverse but will drive forward absolutley fine. He says its only about a 200 dollar fix. He says it needs a transmission replacement kit. Is that what it would really need or is he lieing and if so, is that all it really costs to fix it?

It will probably cost a lot more than a couple of hundred bucks. You didn't say if this was an automatic or a manual transmission. If it is an automatic you will almost certainly need your transmission rebuilt and it will run somewhere in the two thousand dollar ball park. I wouldn't advise buying this car unless your prepared to do some work on it. And is really not having a heater core (no heat, whatsoever) not a big deal? I hope you live in south Florida.

For starters; DON'T Purchase the Vehicle. I've owned several transmission shops in Las Vegas and the problem you're describing definitely describes a transmission that needs a MAJOR Overhaul! ! ! The cost to really fix your transmission will cost between $1200 and $2500; depending on what wrong with it. Yes the present owner is LYING to you.

What do you mean by "wiggles around". Do you mean the needle on the tachometer is jumping around? This isn't normal. If you hear the engine revving up and down with the needle then something is wrong. If it's only the needle jumping then it's a faulty gauge or connection.
