Then it'll qualify for the next C4C program and I can get a top of the line Hyundai.....win-win!

The dilemma with this car was that, as you might imagine, 40K mi = nothing, it rides just fine even if the mileage is ehhh. The tranny problem occurred because my folks never chged the fluid, then when it finally was changed, detergent type fluid was used and it loosened up some piece of crud which jammed something internal. Hence, a dashboard light went on. You cannot get a car smog-checked and thus registered in CA with any dash light on, so we could not have sold the car for much of anything. BB on the car is prolly $7K. And there was no apparent problem with the car, ride-wise, when the tranny was showing bad. So, what’s a mother to do? It was surely cheaper to blow the $2.3K on the tranny than to replace the car. Hopefully it will run for another ten years.
