There is a retired police dodge charger for sale in my area it has cosmetic damage mostly scratches and dents. I Have been told it needs a brake switch,and a transmission control module.  It's the v6, rwd ,2010 ,100000 miles on it . It's selling for 1800 is it worth fixing? Also says it has a rough idle. Thanks

Have you seen the way police drive those things? Jumping curbs and stuff. Try watching a few Youtube videos.

a transmission control module. 

Did you look up the cost of replacing and programming one? That could be well over $1,000.

Does the vehicle even drive? How can you be sure that's ALL that's wrong with the transmission. Usually when a TCM dies, the transmission starts to burn itself out. A transmission replacement could be just on the horizon.

 

It might be worth it. I can't give you an accurate answer on that with the information you've given.

Somebody experienced who really knows what they're doing would have to go over the car with a fine toothed comb.

I would pass on it.

That sounds like an astonishingly bad idea.

I wouldn't even bother considering this vehicle.
