oh...my 88 Jetta has 390k on it. |
well my mechanic is REALLY good at what he does and i trust him more than anything with my car. he honestly doesn't want to see me put that kind of money into it, and tried to talk me out of it. but i explained how i still owe like 6k on it and he agreed that i would have a really hard time getting rid of it at this point.
he doesn't do transmission rebuilds, but he referred me to a guy whom he sends all of his transmission problems to and that guy was really cool too, so any guy that my mechanic refers me to, i trust. he was also trying to talk me out of the rebuild and to just get a new car. i mentioned replacing it with a used transmission and he won't even do that in his shop because it's always a big hassle and you can never trust where you get the transmission from and there's always an issue and u have to pay for the shipping to send it back and forth, yada yada...it made sense.
i'd rather just have them rebuild it with all new parts. i trust him and if i'm gonna hold onto that car for another year or 2, then i might as well have it rebuilt, rather than put another used one in with miles on it and have to go through this again in like 7 months.
