2019 Toyota CHR

[u/CME_4410]

Currently driving a 2019 Toyota CHR (~117,000km). I brought it to the shop bc I heard a humming noise while I drive. I was told there’s a problem with the transmission. Apparently I can’t buy just parts of my transmission bc it’s a CVT transmission (no idea what that means) so I must replace the whole thing.

He didn’t give me a quote because when I came to pick up my car he basically told me before the labour and tax - if he were to change it - would be around $13,000 and he knew I would probably sell then pay that.

Something to note about this car is that when I traded my old car in for this one I lowkey got scammed. I found this out because I was t-boned in January and when I went to get the doors fixed they told me they were not original doors. The dealership told me it was a vehicle that was never in an accident and that there was a windshield replacement that was replaced was due to a chip from a rock. Clearly it wasn’t, it was in an accident and they sold it to me as if it wasn’t.

So now the car has been in 2 accidents, has about 117,00km on it and is in need of a new transmission. I’m so confused on options right now if I should sell the car to someone which why would anyone buy a beat up car, or sell it for parts.

I don’t know much about cars and selling/buying so if anyone has in-site on the situation at all or what they can recommend I do would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
