My DD's car needs the transmission fixed or replaced. Approximate cost would be in the $1500-$2000 range. The car is a 2002 Dodge Intrepid with around 125k miles on it. The current value of the car is less than $1000.
DD is in the last year of grad school so she should be receiving a paycheck in a year or so.
What would you do with the car? Repair it? Replace it with a $2000 used car that would hopefully last 2-3 years?
A local salvage yard said they'd give us $175 for it. It is currently sitting in the parking lot at a garage while we mull our options.
