Daytona worth it?

My buddy is looking for a new car, he found a 98 daytona. It has 224k miles and the guy says it burns oil and the trans is prolly bad. I know they are kinda rare so I thought I might be worth getting and swapping the trans. Do these need a different trans? And does any one know how many they made?
 


do not pay any more for it than you would for a regular grand prix. everything is literally exactly the same except a couple body accents if it even has them.
 
Only 1500 were made. As long as the body and the interior is in great shape and the car has all the daytona trim it could be a good buy. A cradle swap for a new engine and trans isn't that bad. I'd say no more then $1000, if you can swap out the cradle on your own you could have a pretty cool car. Plus while you're there you could do most of the mods you want and you could even buy a tep trans with the money you're saving.
 


Next to nothing, otherwise you're just buying someone else's problems. I don't like other people, or their problems.
 


I wouldn't pay much for it. If you could ge it cheap then it would be worthwhile since motors are so cheap.

So, rather than pay book value, you would prefer to lose $3,500 on a sh!tty broken-down car instead of $3,000. I hope you're not like... huffing gas or something. I worry about you, man.

...but if you're going to just go around handing out money, I could totally use some coilovers.
