Well to tell the truth I wasn't even going to buy this car. I wanted a 2002-2003 Nissan sentra ser spec v. My parents wouldn't let me buy it because it is a stick. They think that I will get into an accident, then the insurance raises, then we will get sued, then lose our house.....typical parent crap. I finally found a perfect priced one, then they tell me no. I was gonna pay for the whole car too. I knew I shoulda waited till I was 18 to pay for the whole thing and insurance. Now I have to deal with worrying that my tranny can die at any time and be extremely hard to sell....

 

Actually, my tranny died and I turned in the car barely moving under its own power. I got about $4000 for it. It would have been worth about $7000.

 

Wow $4000 with a busted tranny? That's really good IMO. But I wonder how muchI can get for mine w/o the tranny busted. Just gotta figure out another car I'd wanna get.

 

The V6 engine helps a bit .... I estimate $4000, but it was actually part of the deal on the trade-in. The Accord + $10k.

The Scion was originally posted at $18,900.


Whoever got that car off of the auction got a sick suspension for free .....not to mention CAI, HID's on TYC projectors, the Pioneer HU, wood interior, WS2 exhaust, Megan headers, etc.


I'd expect 4000-5000 for the 4 banger

 

Well I decided to add on to this thread. I Left my car overnight at the honda dealer for them to check out the transmission. I got the paper that they gave me about the inspection/road test and the tech says it has a 1-2 Flare. The transmission would have to be replaced and would cost around $3,440(HUGE STEAL). Thats the end of this autotragic and hopefully I can get like 2 more years out of my tranny.

 

lol $3,400 to replace a tranny? Thats too funny. Could get a used tranny for $300 then install it yourself.

 

I know LOL. Now my mom is freaking out telling my sister saying I need a new tranny and it's $3,500 and that she feels responsible and wants to cry since I was pushed away from the car I wanted and got me the accord. I feel so bad right now. All I did was get it inspected lol. I knew they would say that. Now I have to calm her down.

 

Don't you love calming women down? its so much fun. Buy a tranny and bring it up to my house and give me $100 and i'll replace it for you.

 

Hah! thanks for the offer but I don't think that will happen...unless I could get a manual tranny. My tranny should last me a while. My dad just told me that I shoulda told him first before I brought it to the dealer (since now it's in the carfax that the car has a bad tranny) that he knows alot of tranny guys that coulda looked at it. I think hes gonna bring it somewere this saturday. I'm telling him though that a rebuilt auto is not the answer...

 

Can someone(Finch) please remind me again why a F22 or H22 or H23 tranny won't just swap in and solve the boom boom problem.
