Dude, thats brutal!

And yes you get had, harshly.. in a very very bad way.

How much should a rebuilt automatic transmission cost to install. Including a full engine inspection and transmission inspection.

For me to get a new tranny installed on my car including install and engine+tranny inspection is about $1200 bucks.

Then again I don't know the market for the Camry.

I was in the $1300 range for mine with a rebuilt trannny.

But like you, I have no idea on prices for import stuff.

Mine is an import, it was actually $1100 bucks for a tranny built up for a greddy turbo on a k20a3.

In case any of you are wondering why DouglasVK916 has decided to grace AT with his presence again, it's because offtopic.com finally had the good sense to ban his trolling ass. :D

He posted this flattering pic in a thread, got flak for it, cried about it, and got the banstick.

He started posting here almost immediately. :laugh:

This is just sort of a heads-up before he starts trolling AT like he trolls any other forum. :)

Around here, most overdrive-equipped auto transmission repairs end up costing around $1500 and that excludes towing and the extra tests. Note that tests are typically overpriced :p.

Pics?

Edit: Wii60 crew? Did you get rid of the PS3 or are you just embarrassed to admit you have one? ;) (or am I thinking of someone else?)

See Fausto's post. It was the only picture recovered, after all, he ate the camera that took it.

Sold the PS3, it's not even worth the sig space to put "Former PS3 Owner Crew" in there :p :D

The $2000 price tag also includes a new torque converter, the old one exploded causes major damage to the car.

DVK916 has a long and storied history of intolerance (what he calls "open mindedness).

He started some interesting threads with his StatsManD account as well.
