Newbie question - What's a core charge? If you're looking to buy a new transmission, they say the price is $1750 with a $1000 core charge?
What does all that mean?

As I understand it, the core charge is an additional sum you will pay to the vendor that will be refunded to you upon receipt of your old parts. You used to see this a lot in instances when you'd buy a new alternator or something. If the alternator was $100 and the core was 50 bucks, they'd charge you $150 and give you the $50 back when they got your old one.
