you got all good answers to your question but I like to add if your dealing with a pro appraiser the problem will most likely be discovered
to understand some of the steps an appraiser goes through testing your trade check this link on my website http://www.usedcartips.org/TESTDRI.html if the appraiser don't pick up on the tranny your home free...good luck.
If your interested to find how the dealer arrives at a value for a trade check the link " whats my trade worth "

Ask the dealer what they would do if you bought a used car from them and after you drove it home you found out it had a bad transmission. If the deal is completely done, there isn't a damn thing they can do to you. In any car deal, it is the buyers responsibility (in this case, the dealer) to determine the condition of a vehicle before buying it.

Probably not though check how things are where you live.
If you buy a car from a dealer that has a bad transmission they aren't going to be liable unless they offered a warranty on it.
Of course you're probably going to have a hard time fooling the dealer about it, they've probably seen pretty much everything.

Absolutely not ! The dealer is responsible for inspecting the trade in vehicle and once ya'll settle on a deal and complete it, it's done. It is no different than you purchasing a car "as is" from an individual, it is the buyers responsibilty to check the vehicle or have it checked by a mechanic for any problems.

Nothing will happen, YOU ARE NOT LIABLE. You sold it (traded in) as is, no warranties expressed or implied. The buyer (dealer) is considered a sophisticated buyer and has no recourse.
Car sales (which a trade in is) in most states are as is, no warranty expressed, implied or otherwise. Even consumers who purchase a used car from a dealer are not extended a warranty unless the DEALER gives his own limited warranty or a service backed warranty from a warranty repair company.

No. you may commerce in any automobile, any time. Say you had a 2007 BMW 7 sequence. And for some reason you had to commerce that throughout for a Nissan Frontier XE. Retail to retail you're looking approximately 90K vs 20K. in case you traded the BMW interior the version between the fee the dealership pays you for the automobile much less what the truck expenses might come back to you. human beings commerce in extra moderen vehicles for older vehicles for all time. that's fairly uncommon, although, to commerce in a extra powerful automobile for yet another one and obtain the version (in funds or verify) from the broking.

you are not liable, he took it as is. But not to worry they did not give you much for your trade in and they will not lose anything.
