Advice on 97 Honda Accord LX sedan... Keep it or sell it. ??
Hi,
I have a 97 Honda Accord LX sedan which i purchase from a big Rental car company in 2001 for almost 10000. Lately i found out that my check engine like keeps coming on due to a transmission problem. The error code i get is P730 which is a "gear slip ratio" error.(got this from two independent tests) My current mileage is 96000 miles. I inquired the prices for a transmission from a dealer and a independent mechanic. both of them said it could be anywhere from 1500 for a used tranny to 3500 for a rebuild tranny. I am not sure as to which route should i go. Should i go with putting more money in this old car or should i go to a dealer use it as a trade in and get another car. I am tempted towards trading it in for another one...since Its a 4 cylnder its lacks power and i Live in a hilly region where when i am driving on the hill its like dragging and lacking power. i dunno if this is because of the tranny or is it cos its just a regular 4 cylinder engine (not a vtec either). If i go for a trade in how much is the value for my current car? I went to kbb.com but they said there is no value for my car if i trade in. So if i could get a figure as to know what to expect before i goto a dealer. Any and all help is appeciated. thanx in advance Jiggaman |
