to explain.94 GL wagon, 130k, had it since 120K. Spent 1k on VSS, blown front tranny seal. Car in great shape, 2 owners, comes with a mechanic I trust (who does house calls).
Dilemma: blown tranny this weekend forces decision to invest nearly 2k for a 12 mo warrantied trans fr a reputable shop in town or cheap rebuild and try to sell it...or sell as is and get something else. Problem is not many cars avail at $2500 range that aren't in as good shape as mine!
I windsurf so the car gets loaded, 6% grades mean torque hell at times, considering a sedan w/ small trailer.
we all love to drive those mega miles but how many cars are trouble free over a 4yr period?
