That's a lot of money for a transmission. I had a wrecking yard quote me a price like that for a transmission of unknown condition once. I was laughing so hard when he said what his price was. I told him I could probably buy two whole cars in salvageable condition for that price.

I think it is a wrecking yard that is selling, in California they may not be allowed to sell it for putting it back on the road. might have been a "by back" car, where the state buys it because it will not pass emissions tests.

It could be sold here as a daily driver for twice that much. I wonder if you can convince the yard you want it whole to sell in another state. would be a shame to part out that clean of a Tercel4wd. very low miles too.

looks like it is worth saving, the challenge would be to get it out of the state with a legal title.
