So what do you think I should do? The transmission of my car is toast. I can get a new one for about $1550. I can try to install it myself, or have someone else install it ($350)... ~$1900. Then I still need a new catalytic converter (~$150) to pass emissions to license my car. My car is worth about $900 running. So get a new tranny, and how long will it last? Do I think I can get another 70K miles out of it? I just feel like everything is starting to break down on it. My alternative to fixing my car is buying a new one. There are some nice '99 A6's around going for about $15K. Lets say I get a high rate on my loan, 7%... That would be around a $300 payment for 5 years. I definatley wouldn't want anything higher than that. I just checked on insurance, and it would only be $10 more a month for the same coverage I have now. Not bad at all. So what do I do...
