Spotted a 96 3500 quad  12v 4x4 for sale on fleabag over here in Scotland for £6750 has the usual electrical gremlins like windows not working, door locks not working.... biggie is trans not changing right, seller dropped from £7500 on 2nd day of listing due to someone pointing out it will probably need a trans rebuild, don't think it will come up in searches from the USA due to seller not adding international. 

I would talk to @Dynamic he sells kits so you can rebuild transmissions yourself or supply you local rebuilder. Its a solution to youtransmission issues.

 

Electrical stuff isn't so bad as long as your capable of understanding electricity and electrical test tools. Some people are not electrical minded.

It would have to be a lot less than £6750 for me to jump nearer 5k hows it compare to your prices,done 90k miles and just passed mot test
