Help!!!!!
The pearlie I just bought last week blew the transmission yesterday.
Subaru wants $3900 to replace it, because they do not have the equipment to rebuild. How much would it cost for a rebuild at a private shop? Anyone have a used trans for sale or other suggestions? I am moving to NC next Thursday and need to either fix it or sell it. Anyone want to buy one for $2000? The engine has 119k on it.

I just paid $2,000 for a rebuild at an independent transmission shop. I would think it would be better to own an SVX with $5,900 invested that lose $1,900 so soon after buying it.

That's it. I am going to sell it.
$2,000 obo..... make me an offer Everything beside the transmission is good (including unscratched windshield) Body needs a little work on the driver's side door and front fender that's it Motor has 119k and runs smooth List of parts replaced by previous owner: Water pump, timing and accessory belts, power steering pump, radiator (all OEM) External trans cooler installed (so much for that preventing the trans from blowing up) I have a couple pics on my profile.

Many dealers won't tell you about this and keep that money for themselves. Be sure to ask for it. .

Next ride is a car with a warranty. Should have one by the end of today.
Now the decision is keep the car and transport it to North Carolina or make a quick sale in Denver. I would like to find someone on the network to buy it rather than your average used car buyer.

I'm moving to Charlotte.
Thanks for everyone's advice. If I had the cash to have it fixed, I would. If the car wasn't so nice, I would start parting it out. At this point I just need to get some of the money back.

Sold it this evening. Possibly a record for quickest buy and sell. Maybe one day I will own another SVX with a manual trans.
