New or used???
If you're buying a new car I'd stay away from the lower numbers. One, that seems to be where most of the transmission problems were and two, why buy a car that was made back in June or July that has been sitting on the lot all this time? Unless of course the dealer is giving you a very good deal... at or below invoice plus rebates if available.
Also... before you sign, I would speak with the service manager and talk to him about the problem and see if he knows what you are talking about and what he will do for you if the car comes down with the problem. I would get it in writing if possible. Be advised it could be hard for them to duplicate the situation, my dealer never did but ended up changing the transmission... so far so good. Just my opinion.
Keep us posted and good luck
