18 hours of labor to remove the sub frame and replace the transmission, bring $8,000. ---

$8000 does not elevate someone to a new vehicle, a new RX is $ 50,000 to $ 60,000. ---

New to him. I agree a car at anything remotely close to $8000 is used. ---

> [@Nevada\_545](#): > > bring $8,000. Did you say recently that in the shop where you work it is pretty common for customers to be presented w/invoice in the $10K range? If $8k brings the otherwise-good vehicle back to life, replacing the transmission seems like a no brainer. ---

18 hrs to r&r a trans? Whoa. Used is $1800-2500. I’m thinking $3k total.
