so my 1997 Acura 3.0 CL's transmission just died and it no longer runs. I dont have the money to fix it so I'm looking to sell it, but i have no idea what its worth now. Its in great condition and ran fine before the transmission died, and its got 147,000 miles on it. What do you guys think its worth?

Fifteen year old car with almost 150K and a dead transmission. $1000 tops.

Damn, should of got it fixed, a c'mon problem with the honda/acura of that generation with the j and f blocks... It's the transmission company itself, they sent out a recall for the issue, which needs of constant monitoring and cleaning. Every 75-100k.

The person who drove the car did so sensibly... Lucky you! =)
