Now WTF do I do with it?
Well, she’s dead Jim. Transmission grenaded. All gears slip and vehicle won’t move. (Exploder)
Can you still trade it in by tow truck? Part it out? Sell it as is? Donate it? Burn it? Serious. I’m not sure what to do with it. One thing is it has lots of new parts - entire front suspension - control arms, hubs, shocks, bushings, tie rods - the whole nine. Engine runs like a top but burns a little oil. Not bad. No leaks. Shit, the OEM Wheels are worth $800 me thinks. New windshield. New AC manifold. Everything else works. Advice? |

Write a song about it.
Then part it out. If the engine and trans are still there, junkyards will probably give you $3-500 for it. |

What will it cost to rebuild? Compare that with what a R&R with a junkyard transmission will cost and choose wisely. As it sits, it's worthless to sell, and unless you've got lots of time and space, parting it out won't go well for you. Your neighbors might also object to a stripped vehicle in their neighborhood, for what that's worth.

Donate it and take the tax deduction. Not sure if you need an appraisal or if you can just take low BB.

We had a dealership the advertised "Push, pull, tug, or tow". As long as you could get it there they would trade.

Put it on Craigslist as a parts car. Take it to the gun range and use it as target practice. |

We donated a car last year (Salvation Army). They would not give us a receipt until they actually sold it. Evidently the government is cracking down on this deduction as people were donating junk cars and claiming way over valued deductions

How much is it to rebuild the transmission, or just buy one that is rebuilt?

Find a rebuilt transmission and have a shop swap it out.

I was thinking, get a few friends over a weekend and pull off all the new stuff plus wheels and tires. Sell that stuff on CL and sell the rest to junk yard. Or just sell the whole thing on CL for best offer. Or see if anyone would take on trade. Problem being I can’t have it towed to multiple dealers while we work out who to buy from. I suppose one could make a deal with just telling them what’s up with it. Not sure. It sure went downhill fast. Pain in the ass. |

Why ask for advice when you don't take it??? Call up your last thread about this and see who gave the sound advice. You just don't listen. What to do with it? Call a salvation yard and take what they give you. |

Damn. If I was closer I’d use it for a pr0n shoot. “Bangin’ MILF Truckers” or some such.
