My Wonderful Life
Posted: 10-28-04 15:11pm

Hey girls. Well, if it isn't enough that I am in school and working all of the time, have no money and am just exhausted, my freakin car broke. I think I need a new transmission and I can't afford this! My car is a 2000 and I will be lucky to find one in a junk yard, cause god knows I can't afford a new one. Even if I find a used one I have to pay someone to put it in and that is most of the cost, labor. Geez. I am so frustrated right now.

Awww hun it will all work out... My mom just bought a used car for $712 dollars and it was a good buy everything works runs well just needs a couple things... It sux being broke....If you are looking for a new car go to a place where they sell cars and tell them how much money you have to buy a car... My mom only had a $1000 dollars to spend and she found one....*hugs*

It is a saturn. It has 93,0000 (i drive a lot) but that is still ridiculous to me. My topaz (and it was a piece of crap!) had 198,000 before the transmission went in it.
I cannot buy a new car because I am still paying on this one for three more years! I am screwed!

Its not still under warranty?

That sucks ang i'm sorry! We had to replace the transmission in our 98 accord a year and a half ago, about 3 months after we purchased it from a dealership!! It cost us 2 grand. I'm sorry girl! You'll figure something out!

Warranty way gone. What makes me really mad is right after I bought my car I noticed the transmission was "funky" it was still under warranty so I took it in. Of course, they said there was nothing wrong with it, but it was on record that I brought it in so if it went then it would be covered. But not 60,000 miles later! I know that is high mileage, but I am saying that a transmission should not go that darn soon.
I don't have 2 grand! Boohoo! Plus, I still have to pay on it! Grrrrr.

Some transmissions depeding on the problem can be rebuilt for a few hundred I believe.. If not then you could maybe find one at a junkyard. Not too sure they'll have it but it can't hurt to look. What exactly is the problem with the transmission?
