My daughter has a 2009, 225K mileage.
Trans stopped working the other night while she was driving it. Engine is fine, car just won't move. Neither forward or reverse. it seems like it is in neutral.
towed it to a car repair place and they say the transmission is broken and only 2 options install a rebuilt transmission or a rebuild the old one. either way it is between 5-6.5K cost!! the car is only worth about 2-3K blue book.
she still owes 5K on it.
what would you do?
The car overall is in good physical condition. Engine runs fine.
Just don't want to spend 6K on a trans and find out a few months from now there is another big problem.
what is the car worth if the transmission does not work? I would think 500 dollars to a junk yard?
