It’s the transmission. Dealership is saying it’s going to be about $7200 to repair it. Feel like I’m getting scammed cause I’m Pretty sure that’s worth more than the whole car at this point. We might try to find used parts for it at this points or I might get a new car entirely. I hate it because it’s been an amazing car for nine years.
Swindled when the cost is that much?
Really, it’s the dealership hourly rate plus the list price for the parts. You can acquire a reman plus pay less each hour by going to a shop. You could also pay less to have it thrown in by hiring someone to do it, or you could do it yourself and save money.
Because the pricing is different, it’s not a scam. If they gave you a trans but it’s actually a CV axle, it would be a scam.
