G'day all,
have a 1996 VS series 2 commodore, had a new engine put in it 1.5yrs ago and all the extra's for gas, been running on gas ever since I got it, and works fine, today it burnt out the torque converter and was quoted $2150 to get it all done with reco box and special valve fitted to stop the converter problem occuring. (unlucky to break down in regional victoria)
Question is, at that price considering I've got a new engine in it, although only paid $2000 initial purchase price, would I be better off selling it as is, parting it out and selling the parts, or just getting it fixed????
I also have the option of bringing it home on a trailer and then maybe getting a box from an wrecker, then selling it, but just wanna know what people think.
It's my daily driver and second car, so I can use my 4wd whilst it's off the road, dont really need to keep it that bad if it's only going to keep costing me lots of money, was a fuel saving and cost saving exercise that seems to have gone all wrong......:bang:
any thoughts??????
