CL-S is toast .. wat doo?
So yesterday, my CL-S's 4th transmission blew out in the middle of the freeway. Seeing as I still owe $2000 on the transmission, I'm officially declaring this car no longer usable for me. What are my options from here besides repairing it? I will no longer keep this car, but I don't know exactly my options are with a junk car seeing as I've never been in this situation. I'm moving out of Atlanta in about 4 weeks, so time is a bit of a factor.

Sell it. Someone will buy it and then repair it.

You could probably get decent money parting it out.

That takes time and is a hassle, get rid of it all in one shot.

That sucks, how many miles did you have on that trans? Would be a good buy for someone with a beat up CL with a good working trans.
