Agree. There could easily be atleast several hundred dollars alone just in sales tax on a used vehicle.I'd throw a thousand bucks into it. This is a bad time to be used car shopping.

This is a 6T70. It was a GM-Ford design. GM calls it a 6T70, 6T75 or 6T80 Depending on options.The transmission was designed in-house by GM. I don't know why were it's made matters. I don't disagree that it's a junk transmission, but that's pretty par for the course from GM, regardless of where it's made.
Our 2013 Cruze would blacken the Dex VI … first change at (recommended) 40k looked like we needed to do 30k … just sold it at 140k hard miles ~ and it was still shifting well …GMs seem to be the ones I see coffee black trans fluid in. That said, I have experience with a later year GM 6-speed and it was.. punchy. I think I liked it.

I’d venture that lots of people are not changing fluid in FWD’s …

A. easyTry finding a used car under
(which is all anything with over 100,000 miles is worth anyway)
Not true here. My sister paid $2500 as is for her 05 Camry 170k miles needing $1000 work for a safety and that was the best deal we found. Her 2010 Taurus with a bad water pump with 240k miles was still worth $5000 by the book value (what they wanted to charge our mechanic friend who bought it for $600 to fix). That's Canadian $ but even with the conversion I wouldn't say 100k miles is high enough to drop anything that cheap.Try finding a used car under $1500

I guess I was confused by your statement regarding what they are worth and what they cost.Your making my point, not that long ago the prices you paid would be significantly lower for the same
