Why wouldn't they just say "Your car is totaled".

Let's say 8 hours to remove and replace a transmission @ 100 hr equals $800.
$2k for a rebuilt 5 speed (high, I know) with a limited warranty. Let's add $200 for 'stuff'. You're at $3k.

IDK what the PS pump work costs but I'll bet it isn't as much as a tranny.
If you have ever seen The Collection in Miami, you will know why. It is a museum, monument to the most expensive Marques, Ferrari, Maserati, Mc Laren, Porshe, Audi, Jaguar. Gorgeous models are at the reception desk. You never see a repair bay. Conspicuous consumption at its worst, or best, depending on your point of view.
