So, the transmission in my 2006 TL is done. The trans shop gave me an estimate of $3,500 (Parts and Labor) to replace it with a Jasper transmission. Unfortunately I can't do that right now. Here's my dilemma, I still owe on the car. Does anyone have an idea of what I might be able to get out of the car as is? Does anyone have any other suggestions on how I can get the best price for it as is? Talk about a messy situation!
It's a 2006 TL 155,000 miles, engine runs strong, tires are relatively new.
Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated!!

I went through this a few months ago, only mine was paid off. Honestly with a bad trans and the mileage, you will only get $2000-$2500 for it if you are lucky. I would go to a different trans shop for another quote. I was quoted $2300 parts/labor/warranty out the door, only thing was my car need more parts than just the trans at almost 200k miles. I decided to part it out. I wanted $3000 for the car as is with my bad trans and was low balled all day around $1500-$2000. I said screw it and stripped the car. Glad I did, parted it for more than I wanted originally so I am happy I did. I still have more parts to go too, so its just extra funds to throw at my TL-S. Only thing is, I have been parting it for about 2.5 months and it took up a lot of room in the garage.
In the end you will have to look at what you owe compared to how much effort you wanna put into it. IT WAS A LOT OF WORK! But worth it in the end.
youre not getting 2500 with a bad tranny, an 06 with that mileage is only about a 4-5k car in good order (at least around here). you might get 1500 if the car is in nice shape. 3500 for the trans sounds way high though, i had an mdx tranny rebuilt with new torque converter, external oil cooler, and 2 mounts replaced, for $2500
