I have a 2000 dodge durango 4x4 and I still owe 14,000 on it. It is eating up all my income and i simply cannot afford it. I also am now supporting my mom and a home mortgage (hers) since she can no longer work. I need a really economical car with good mileage. Im thinking of trading in my durango in for something around 9-10,000 dollars and just letting them add on the less value of the durango. That way I'll still have the same balance but my payments will be less and I will save on gas and maintnace. What do you think. Any better Ideas?

I recently had an oil leak repaired on my '98 Nissan Sentra. However, now my car seems to be burning oil like crazy -- they gave it an oil change, but it burned it all up and I had to add a quart. This morning I noticed the oil was low again and added some more. In addition, I've noticed exhaust smoke coming from back there, especially when the car has been idle for a few minutes. Any advice? Is this normal for a car after a leak has been fixed? (P.S. -- The leak HAS been sealed, it was literally dripping onto the ground and the timing chain had splattered it all over the place.)

Last week my battery light came on. Ever since the voltage has gone down and today my gauges stopped working. I don't drive very much and my truck sits in a hot garage, would that have anything to do with my problem?

I was brought up in the UK and went out loads on my dads bike (Royal Einfields, BSA and a Triumph) and I can remember all bikers giving a casual wave.

This doesn't seem to happen anymore with all these idiots on their plastic missles and matching leathers!

We have a 2004 Honda Pilot EX-L 4WD with RES (DVD) and a dealer-installed 6 CD changer and trailer hitch. It was in an accident and has been repaired. The repairs were well done at a reputable, insurance company-guaranteed shop. It is clean, well kept and has had all of it's factory recommended maintainance performed. How much lower than KBB or edmunds do I need to set the price of this vehicle to sell?

Btw, we've decided to sell for a few reasons. We got a great deal on a 2006 vehicle - and this new vehicle is far easier for my in-laws to access (trust me helping my chubby MIL climb in to the Pilot every week was not fun!). Buying the new vehicle put my kids into a safe large vehicle right away instead of spending the next month or so squeezing into rental cars

Thanks for your input!

I was driving my Honda recently and the engine stopped while idling. As the bike is old, I checked the sparkplugs and one was covered in oil. I changed both plugs and started the bike again. It performed better then it ever has before, but after only a couple minutes, it stopped once again, this time kicking while I was in 2nd gear and refusing to rev when I gave it gas. It seems to be the same problem. I walked it home and adjusted the idle level, and no problems there. The bike seems to be putting out a lot of smoke, which seems to me to mean that it’s burning oil? My cousin suggested that I change the air filter because it was running too rich, but would that cause it to stall out like that? Also, I have noticed that there is oil coming out of the exhaust. Dripping mostly, not much at all, but I wonder if they are related? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
