Dilemma...

I have a 1994 red SVXlsi and it is in great condition. Although it has 160,000 miles, the body is near perfect except for the usually very few side dings. The tires are like new, it has new brakes, rotors, and bearings. The interior is near perfect as well and the car has been driving perfectly until two weeks ago. I started getting slippage (flaring) in either third or fourth gear. The question is...do I spend the money for a new transmission and then have a great car (albeit with 160k and not knowing what wiull go wrong next) or do I try to get whatever I can on ebay? What is it worth? I figure about $2500 for a transmission. If I got $1500 on ebay and saved $2500 I might be better off. HELP!! I just don't know what to do.
