Truck is an 06 with 163K miles, trans just went out. I've owned it since 09, planned to drive it indefinitely. Cared well for it, all synthetic, planned maintenance, etc. That said with this mileage, trade in is only $8k without trans issue. Trans repair is $4,500. If I want to get rid of it, how do I do it? Sell it, or will the dealer give me anything on trade?

what brand and model truck do you have? a repair of 4,500 sounds high. You could buy a used one and have someone install it for less....

You need to call around or you have more than transmission problems. You should be able to find a rebuilt for less than half of that - did you go to a dealership...

I had one rebuilt on an 04 f150 for $2100 at cottman, hard time believing its much more than that
