Hi guys and gals
was coming home the other day from melb
and the auto box started to make this high pitched
sound in the box like gears not meshing together properly
and promtly stopped,im guessing the torque converter has shat its self
we got it home thanks to steve and kat who we are very gratefull for there help
what to do
sell as is
or fix and sell98 ,4.5duel fuel arnt really sought after at the present time
even to trade in,they werent interested the best i was offered was $12,000
the worst was $5,ooo so the car yards and wholesalers dont want them
as i said what to do,, as i dont really need it any more,its for sale
its in good condition just a few pin stripes
10270
10271
10272
whats it worth

Did the dealer who offered you $12k know the auto was playing up?

not 100% sure but wouldnt a manual box be cheaper in these than a auto box? maybe convert it over and then sell. If you dont want it anymore im sure you will get more $$ for a rig that is working than not. Recently tried selling a rig that had a rooted box but could not sell it, as soon as i got it fixed i sold it for what i wanted within a few weeks.

Take the 12k off dealer and run.............. hahahaha
If you had the time and tools, strip it and sell it off.
Obviously you will get more for it if its working, but at the same time no guarantee it will sell anyway.
Always sell privately, car yards will give u sh!t for it
Whats it worth...............only what someone is willing 2 pay for it

Yep, I have a 2001 Honda XR trailbike, has 2500k's on it have been asking 3500 for it ( no rego ), needs prolly 100bucks spent on it for it 2 pass rego. I thought 3500 was pretty reasonable, Ive had one inquiry since it was advertised on flea bay and gumtree :(

to change over to manual would just as much as an auto with all the added pieces
to much mucking about but your wright i guess going it might break even

Go to your local wrecker that has a GU. They may well do a drive in - drive out for an OK price mate. You dont really need a warranty, you just need the thing to run to sell.
