Vehicle Detail

I bought this car at a local public car auction a few weeks ago as a fixer upper for one of my kids. It had a cooling issue . I have fixed the cooling issue by replacing the thermostat, lower radiator hose, fan control module, water pump and also replaced timing belt. The motor runs really good and the car drives good and everything seems to work ok , but the transmission slips when it shifts at about 30 mph. I changed the filter and fulid ,but did not help. I took it to a transmission shop and they think there is a cracked piston in the transmission and would need to be rebuilt at the cost of 3000.00 dollars and we have decided to sell the car as is.The car had a rebuilt title out of Michigan when I bought it which I did not know when I bought it so I have no idea why it has that title. I have since applied for a Indiana title and waiting for its return. We have one key and no remote for locks and alarm. The body has a few little dings , but in good shape otherwise. The interior is in good shape with only a tear in the drivers seat from wear, It appears the car has been well cared for.
