Hi gang,
The transmission blew on my 93 900s - I'm trying to reconcile my alternatives. A few mechanics priced it around $2500-3000 to fix, but the car's not really worth it (per Kelly, etc). Rear driver's side bumper got hit recently by a town bus... grrr.. Anyhow - it only has 80k miles on it and I'm thinking:
a) bite the bullet spend the money on the new tranny and cosmetics - but is this just "throwing good money..."
b) donate it (but get this... I'd have to pay to get it towed to the donation center as they don't pick up in Rockland, NY???!)
c) scrap it - (but I can't bear to see the thing go to the pile) :(
d) ???
My heart says go "A" but my brain says "C" as it's becoming a costly luxury ($800 on brakes, $1000 on clutch just in the past year?!)...
I'm so confused!!! Ugh!!!
