“A new transmission is always cheaper than a new car if you think about it”
A lot cheaper. I replaced my ‘09 Camry’s transmission with a junkyard find. No problem so far (20,000 miles on it now).
My other car, a 2000 Suburban, is like new. Had a noisy differential rebuilt somewhere along the way.
I’d like to have cars with backup cameras but it’s not worth the cost.
You can buy aftermarket backup cameras for 100 to 200 bucks..
