not trying to be mean, but I think most 16 year old cars with bad trannies are worth less than $1k for sure. I am thinking maybe the $500-$750 range. If someone offered you more than that, I would take it. I suppose if it has less than 100k miles and everything is nearly perfect, you might be able to get more.
Keep in mind, having a transmission rebuild is well over $1k and a junkyard tranny has no guarantees and would probably cost almost $1k with labor.
Good luck

I paid $300 for my 90 with a blown auto. It was in perfect shape too. cept the rear tires were slashed and some of the exaust was rusted out.
I have 2 good auto trannys I can sell to you, for $150 each. I could help you install them for a very small fee too. That is if I came to drop off the tranny. PM me if your interested.

and that is especially true up in new england.

I sold my 88 Celica with a blown motor and 260k+ miles for $500. It sold in a couple of days, too.

Speaking of beater cars, I wrecked my Cherokee today. And I spent all weekend doing maintenance on it. Good news is a buddy of mine wants to trade his 90 celica 5-speed with a bad water pump for it. He wants a bush bomber and I need transportation so I can work on the Maxima. Oh well, at LEAST it wasn't my Maxima...

sorry alex, i don't want to get arrested. 
i don't want to do a tranny swap. i have an 88 celica and a 91 maxima that i want to focus on right now.
ok, i've made my decision. i think i'm going to let him go for $500.
a guy offered me $800 but he lives on the west coast (maybe it was just a pick up line)

if you specify that your car is a male instead of a female, does that mean you're gay?
jk
anyway, i bought my loaded black 91 auto w/183k for $500. only issues are a bad injector and motor mount. and a couple dings on the bod.

Naw I doubt either would do over 106. OD here would probably blow his cheap tires up that arent rated for more then 85mph and Vans tranny would run out of fluid.
Just kidding van, Ive been 132 in my VG-5 and I know I could do more. though if your both autos you'd destroy him. Plus hes probably over weight with extra paint anyway...

Alex,
I don't suppose you have any extra engine lying around to go with those 2 transmissions, do you? I just picked up a 91 that had the timing belt break on it. I live about an hour and a half from you, and could use your help on the install as well. Btw, this isn't a pick up line. However if you do a good job, you can take my wife with you. Hell if you do a bad job, you can take her with you.
