7-9k for a trans would be a Sprinter.
Only if ya don't know where to go ..... and are looking to be raped.
Don't be lazy ..... look around, do the research.
It can be done for 2,500 in an E-350.
Same for a Sprinter .... although around $4500 or so will get ya a really, really tricked-out one .... with Kelvar friction material on the clutch plates, even .....
$4500 will also buy ya complete junk ...... if ya go to the wrong place (hint: avoid the East Coast, specifically anything in NJ)
Van payment $600 a month? If your planning 72...Kiss your butt bye bye...
Uh-oh ...... OVM are ya saying I should be
worried ...... ? ..... I'm at $695 a month (that zero down deal
)
I just had one done yesterday and it cost $1950.00 after my business link discount. Without the discount it would have been nearly $2600.00.
TJ - $1950 ..... ouch .....
Ya know Berry in Corsicana, TX (a Dodge dealer) only charges $1577 .... at least on the one (5142494AA) for the '06 ..... and it looks to me like it's same as the '05 .....
BTW, dealer list on that puppy is only $1955.65 ..... so much for the Business Link discount ... (me, I'd be looking for a new dealer ...... or a refund)
Ya ever consider calling a Garrett dealer or mebbe EuroParts for that turbo ....... and seeing if they could source it ?
As we've said before...Sprinters are NOT entry level equipment
Dang ..... really ? ....... wish someone had told me ......
Gosh .... I probably better just throw in the towel and quit right now .....
BTW, I ran 55 all the way coming home today from Georgetown ...... got a little over 25.69 mpg ...... if I had been more patient I probably could have eeeked out 27 or so ...... but I was in a hurry ......
