C5 S6 avant with blow tranny

[pu911]

So the tranny in my 2002 S6 Avant finally gave up the ghost. Trying to decide if car is worth repairing. Options seems to be as follows
1. Install used tranny - $4k keep fingers crossed
2. Install rebuilt tranny $12k - costs more than car is worth.
Car has about 130k miles and is a little beat up - I've kept up with mechanical issues but body is a little beat up ( driven by my two teenage sons). On the surface doesn't seem to be worth the roll of the dice by installing used tranny or the $$ to install rebuilt one am I missing something.

Thanks,

Phil

The magic number happens when you do the work yourself, is that a possibility? Tons and tons of support here if you choose to do it. Not too many tools need.

6 speed swap

I don't have the time to do any large scale car repair projects myself. I'd love to do a 6 speed swap as I hate the tip, what does that cost.

Thanks,

Phil
