my Boxter has a very strong engine or I would not have spent $750.00 to have the broken tranny removed.If I can't get $5000.00 for it I will rethink,but not the price.I will have it fixed and keep on driving it.If all You going to do is lowball me,please don't bother Me.

A car that isn't drivable isn't sell-able at a decent price. Just went through this on a Camry with a busted power steering pump with a friend of my wife. The risk of there being other problems is going to factor into any deal you are offered.

Went through this with an Acura 4 years ago. Transmission let go 300 miles from home. AAMCO was $1k lower than a dealer and gave lifetime guarantee. I sucked it up and paid. Then sold the car and got something for it because it was drivable and so the possibility of hidden problems was removed.

Good luck.
