[QUOTE="robert southerland, post: 972935, member: 66393"] I have a problem here. A little back ground info first. I have a 2001 white 4x4 trac with 140,000 miles. I owe $1,500 on it. Nada bluebook is $5,925 for a clean trade in. Retail is $8,500. It is real clean inside and out. I got the "blinking light of death". I took it to the local certified transmission and was quotes $2,300 to replace with a 1 year warrenty. I called the local ford dealer and was quoted $2,980 to buy a tranny and do it myself. Come to find out the cerftified transmission factory is located here and it is owned by someone here in Omaha. They supply the dealers with there remaned trannys here. I know a salesman that says he can slip it thru with out a test drive before i trade it in. So i should be able to get the clean trade in value for it.Long story short do i put a $2,300 tranny in a truck worth about $5,000 or take the $5,000 and trade it off before it costs me anymore money. I'm looking at a 2010 f150 CC with 12,000 miles on it. It will get better milage, haul my car trailer, and give me more room for the 2 car seats. I just can't decide. Part of me wants to run from this but a part of me likes the idea of no payments(well almost, damn thing had to go when i finally paid for it.) [/QUOTE]
