as i posted in another thread, the tranny went and my mechanic says there's no hope but to replace it, which could cost $1500 or $2 grand. I have a 2000 LS Sport with 119.5 K on it and its in fair condition. a few problems with the interior, nothing major, and scratches and scuff marks (not bad enough to be called dents), but as i look in the paper and online, it seems these cars are worth nothing. Well..... nothing considering i paid $9 grand for mine three years ago. Similar cars (100K and up) that look mint are going for 5 or 6 grand, so that puts me at $4-5 grand (and probably the lower end of that). So do i sink a possible $2000 into her and sell her, should i sell her as is for cheap, or should i part her out?? by the way its black on black (charcoal i think is the color) and im in queens, NY..... any suggestions??

Depends on how much you like that particular car. (as in, YOUR car, not just any LS in general)

I've done this with two transmissions so far. Both have been great transmissions and both were under $700.
