you live in the bay area and you've not heard of craigslist? you
haven't searched for "mechanics specials"? you haven't seen the endless
spam from unlicensed dealers saying they'll buy any honda, working or
not???
more likely, you just don't want to deal with the price you've already
been offered, like trade-in when you bought its replacement. face it
dude, unless you fix it, it's not a car, it's a well upholstered chicken
coop. give it to the neighbor kid and let them get a used transmission
and fix it up. or do it yourself. your local pick-n-pull has them
listed for only $130.
