As HP says, it's fixable. In the UK, it can be professionally rebuilt for around £3K, a job that a lot of owners (myself included) have already had done. And done properly, it should be good for another 100K miles. And perhaps even double those miles if the rebuild is done properly and the transmission is regularly serviced thereafter. So, as I see it, rather than detract from the value, the work that is required to keep these vehicles on the road should justify a much higher price, as long as the work has been done.
