I had a P38 and it was good to me for the most part. Now that I've been without a Rover for a while, I was thinking about getting back into one.
How much of a deal breaker is this: a 2006 HSE with 110k, no service records, but has a P0960 code (trans limp mode because of sensor) and the MIL light because of it. The tires need replacing, there is a squeaking from under the hood you can hear pretty clearly at idle that I assume is a tensioner or alternator wearing itself out. It's straight, the interior isn't torn up outside of the usual wear on the center console and plastic seat surrounds having cracks. It looks like it's been enjoyed.
I can get it for somewhere between 2.5 and 3k. With the low miles, is the trans issue still too risky at that price? I just don't want to be upside down in its value before I even get a chance to drive it...
