Howdy! I'm thinking of getting this Royal Monaco once my truck sells:

Based on the pictures the owner sent me, the thing looks to be in really good shape other than a butt groove in the driver's seat (of course, I'm going to go check it out myself before I put money down). But, I have worries. My family has...history...with pre-Iacocca Chyrsler products. I'm a little bit worried about the transmission in particular; I ran the VIN, it has a 318 with the A904, and I've heard that the A904 can be "particular" if its fluid isn't changed on time.
I've always loved these cars because of the Blues Brothers (don't worry, I'm not going to turn it into another Bluesmobile if I buy it), but I can't afford to do constant repairs. Can one generally stand up to being a DD, or should I just walk away and wait for a more solid financial footing?
