Transmission Go Out? Sell that Junk Car for Cash

It's a sad fact of life -- car repairs are expensive. While most of the time it makes good financial sense to repair a car rather than buy a new or used car to replace it, there are some repairs that are expensive enough that it may worth considering other options than repair. 

One of the most expensive repairs most car owners will see in the lifetime of their automobile is the need for a new transmission. Although some repairs you can put off until you have the cash to complete them, a dead transmission essentially equals a dead car.

What does a transmission do?

If oil is the "blood" in your car, then think of your transmission as your car's heart. Your transmission converts speed and torques along the drivetrain, powering the wheels and making your car go. A working transmission should maximize the efficiency of how your engine works. It should help your car have low fuel consumption and work at its very best. When your transmission goes out, you car is dead on the road until it's either repaired or replaced.

How much does a repair or replacement cost?

Your transmission is one of the most complex elements in your car, and therefore getting your transmission issues solved can be extremely expensive. The cost can also depend on what kind of car you have and if it's automatic or manual. Rebuilding or repairing a transmission can cost anywhere from $1,000-$1,500. However, replacing a transmission, which may be necessary depending on the damage, is one of the most expensive car costs going. This can run anywhere from $1,500-$3,500.

Are there any other options?

If your repair or replacement transmission is actually more than your car is worth, it might be time to consider letting your automobile go to that great parking lot in the sky. One of the ways you can do this is to sell your car to a junk specialist for cold, hard cash. There are lots of elements that can be recycled on your car that are worth money, particularly your catalytic converter and other essential parts. This could be extremely helpful in buying a replacement car that's in a little better shape.

If you find yourself with a dead transmission, then be sure you know all of your options. Repairs and replacements can oftentimes be more expensive than most people can fork out. If that's the case, then speak to your local junk car buyer to find out rates. You might be surprised with what you find out.
