Did I get ripped off? How much should a used manual transmission for a 97 Toyota Corolla cost?
-
My boyfriend and I brought our 97 Toyota Corolla into the shop this past week, knowing that it needed a transmission and possibly a new clutch kit. The guy quoted between 800-1200, for a REBUILT transmission, +labor+clutch. When my boyfriend went to put a deposit down, they even told him that the owner of the shop himself was going to rebuild a tranny for us. However, on the deposit receipt, the tranny is listed as "used". We went to pick up the car yesterday, and the final receipt also lists the tranny as "used", and with a 30 day warranty. WHAT!!!!!!! I want to know, did the shop break a verbal contract, or is my boyfriend stupid for not catching the word "used" when he made the deposit? Also, whats up with a 30 day warranty? What do I do if this thing takes a crap on day 31? Spend another Grand?

Answer:
You got ripped off, big time. If it's dies on day 31, you're out of luck. ALWAYS read the fine print.

A rebuilt transmission is indeed a used one that has been, rebuilt. It wouldn't need rebuilt if new? Changing trannies is a great deal of work, especially in a front wheel drive car. They don't just pop in and out easily. You could have easily spent more than 1300 on a NEW transmission, then add in all the others charges, and you are looking at more.
