This question is about my parents' dodge grand caravan. Apologies in advance if this isn't the right place, but I was wondering what's the legit cost for a complete transmission replacement? The auto trans on the van is totally shot, according to the dealer. I was quoted about $3700, parts and labor.
My parents want to do it, but I am leaning toward ditching the van since it's a 96 with 150,000+ miles. But it looks like my dad's gonna get it replaced. So, what do you think?
\'96 dark green V6 Firebird<br />Y87 Performance package<br />front license plate with silver firebird insignia<br />alpine CD deck<br />T-top<br />Tinted windows @ 27%<br />low mileage (just broke 45000 not long ago!)<br /><br />waiting for first performance mod :)
DITCH THE VAN....ive know seveal people that have owned dodge caravans and have talk with lots more people with them...they will all tell you the same thing. The A/c has been replaced several times, and the transsmission has to be replaced every 25K.

First off, a transmission shop [not the dealer] could do that job for HALF that amount. The price is totally out of line. Most transmission shops will tow a vehicle for free [hint!] with a rebuild.
Second, consider the economics of the whole deal. Let's say the repair cost $1800. Let's say a new car payment is $300/month. If the van lives w/o other problems for 6 months, you will break even financially. The longer you keep the thing running [before other major repairs] the more money you're gonna save.
