Last year spent $99 on its first repair (leak).

I see you're posting from Vermont:

Here are some used machines:

$50 - Poultney

$80 - Bellows Falls

Plus several others in the $100-$150 range

I've even seen free washers on Craig's List that needed a new motor or
clutch (supposedly). I bought a used motor for mine from a used appliance
place and it was only $30. I suspect the trans/gearbox would not be a whole
lot more (used). OTOH I found it a lot cheaper to get the coupler and dogs
on eBay than from the appliance store.
