my TRANNY is dying!

[marvdmartian]

Sorry, no help for you here.......

But you should SERIOUSLY consider using the word "transmission" if you ever have to do another post like this. You can probably figure out what ran through my mind when I read your thread title! :shocked:

 

[CraigRT]

I don't understand why a truck with 140,000 miles is not allowed to have a transmission problem....
doesn't sound like a lemon to me.. sounds like a used vehicle.

 

[desy]

Yep
high miles
almost 10 yr old vehicle
drove problem free for almost 10,000 miles
move on, nothing to see here.

From the whining sound he described, I'm thinking TB. I could be wrong though. Have you taken s/he to the doctor yet OP?

The only whining sound I hear is coming from the OP.

This is ridiculous! You bought a FORD with over 130k on it and have tranny problems and want to blame it on the seller!?!?

WTF!

You are unbelievable!

 

[Phoenix86]

At least you didn't blow the tranny...

 

[akubi]

you bought a ford with 100k+ miles, on ebay, with paypal.. you're lucky you got 7k miles out of it

If it's an automatic and you got 135-140k, be happy. You should be able to get someone to rebuild it for around 2 grand. That's not bad considering the fact that it will run another 80-150k easily after being rebuilt. Just keep the oil clean, change the timing belt, and flush the radiator and it will last.

i hope so

O no! Now you'll be single!!

133,275 to start and now 141,108

There ya go :beer:

you bought a ford with that many miles, drove it a while, and something broke. you didn't buy a lemon, you bought a ford. OBVIOUSLY something was going to break soon.

and i'm pretty sure a lemon is a NEW car that you buy, and has to have the same part replaced like four times.

I would say something but it would be too easy. Karma is a bastard though. When I was a service writer we called them Ford Exploders for a reason.

:evil:

 

[DurocShark]

I was going to say something about picking up a fresh new tranny on Hollywood Boulevard, but decided it would just confuse the OP.

[virtueixi]

LOL

 

[dartworth]

HA HA

 

[waggy]

how much did you pay?
uh you only drove it for 7800 miles. thats nto the total miles on that trans so no big shock it is going
lemon law (usually) applies to NEW cars. used cars are baught AS IS.

ROFL@ the tranny comments...
My union used to issue business agents either a Taurus, or Explorer, and both sucked badly. The "exploder" comment is about the same experience we had with them as well, and we maintained ours pretty well, since they got used daily, and maintenance cost us (personally) nothing.
IME, even if it had been delivered with NO transmission, you'd still be screwed. E-Bay and their "Motors Protection Plan" is just a scam anyway...They'd find SOME clause that lets them & the seller off the hook, (sold as-is?) and you'd just have to get a new transmission at your own expense. NEVER buy a car on E-Bay, unless you can have it inspected at an independant shop at your expense before bidding. Even that might not have picked up any transmission problems, since that would have most likely required pulling the pan & filter to find any particles. orry OP, IMO,you're screwed. Avoid AAMCO. Their reputation leaves a lot to be desired.

i'll never do ebay again. yea i went to aamco once but they were trying to make me open it up, etc without doing their free tests.

Are you stupid, trolling, or is this a parody thread?

You drove the car almost 8000 miles. Even if you only drove the car 800 miles, it would still be 100% your problem. Welcome to the world of used cars. (and often new ones, for that matter)
