Used transmission - VLVworld - good idea?

Post by Cam A »

My 740 transmission is dead; VLVworld online offers used transmissions for $350 US. Is this a good idea? Are VLVworld reputable?
Thanks

CarVolvo - Matthew recommends not putting your email address in posts in a form that a spam bot can pick up.

He recommends something like carvlvo AT hotmail Dot com.

Hope you don't mind me pointing this out.

Bill.

can you change the previous post for me
Unfortunately my powers are not that strong. However, you can edit your own post by clicking the 'edit' button in the top right of it.

I tried it out on my own post and changed DOT to Dot.

Aren't computers wonderful? Well aren't they?
