Looking for e9 for sale

New listing just popped up on Bring a Trailer, looks reasonable enough. Car looks clean, interior is nice velour, I don't see photos of some of the worrisome rust areas so worth talking to the seller about that. If you're in NY it may be worth taking a quick flight down to Florida to check it out. It has had an upgrade to the cooling system so that's nice. I'm surprised that it doesn't have AC for a car that someone had in Florida but may not need it in NY.
Yes just saw
May also be worth reaching out to the one that just didn't sell at $39k. Even given the issues with the transmission, those can be addressed by a transmission swap, either with another 4-speed or upgrading to 5-speed. As someone who has done the 5-speed swap, it's not too difficult a job and is essentially definitive, since you are replacing the transmission with another.
I know this can be a can of worms but some kind of budget would be helpful for members to know if something is worth mentioning or not... many might know of or have something they might sell. Based on looking for a "daily driver" I would assume you don't want something that needs work out of the box.
