Like said above, it's a good deal if the engine can be turned all the way over. If the trans still has fluid in it ask the seller of you can pull the pan off of it (it's going to be a mess). If the atf smells "burnt" and not like normal atf it's safe to assume the trans is cooked, also check for excessive amounts of aluminum sludge looking stuff on the magnet and pan (and any metal shavings etc.) If the seller does that he's probably cool with you pulling valve covers to see what's going on too lol
