Subject:$ for Rebuilt vs Used Trannys
From:Geroge A Lehman
Date:Wed, 13 Oct 1999 19:06:05 -0500

I have been looking for a good used tranny for my 1982 westy.  The one I
have is ok except the 3rd gear synchro which gives me a bit of time to
shop.

My question to the list is ..... why do folks selling very used trannys
want about the same price as rebuilds from Ron at the bus depot?  Are the
rebuilds that bad or are the used trans. overpriced?  I have a few
rebuildable cores.  Why would someone pay $4-500 for used when a rebuild
with a 12 month warrenty cost a few bucks more.

Am still looking for a used trans for about 200 plus shipping or will
fork out for a rebuild when I am in greater need.
