I have a 2000 ford taurus and the transmission blew. My father says to fix it as he found someone who will charge btwn 1200-1500 to fix it. I say that its not worth putting so much money into it because the car is barley worth that. The auto guy said he'd fix it or get rid of it for us and he's pay $200 for the car. The car is in pretty good condition other wise. little rust, and one dent on the side door that could be fixed, not very big. Also the car has been well maintained along with brand new snow tires put on it. Only thing wrong with it besides the transmission is the heat. The shop tried everything but no heat, they have to keep flushing it every so often because the tube is clogged!?!?! idk...

IT IS WORTH FIXING THE CAR? OR BETTER TO JUNK IT? please help
 
Fix it.. taurus' are good cars, if you take good care of em theyyl lastyoua lifetime..
 
If you can get it fixed for $1200-$1500 - that's a REAL fair price for a transaxle overhaul. If the rest of the vehicle is in decent shape - I'd go for it.
As far as the heater, I seriously doubt that the "tube is clogged" - get it properly diagnosed and repaired as well.
