Looking to buy a 924
 

Group,
I am looking to purchase a 924 as a gift for my wife. Because it's for my wife - it has to be an automatic, preferably an '87 (her grad year from High School), and preferably red. From what I have read about these cars, the engines are pretty rock-solid, I am just concerned about the automatic transmissions, although I see rebuilt transmissions only run about $1000. Any tips, advice or warnings about purchasing such a car would be much appreciated.
