Cars & Transportation - 28 August 2006

Because gas is so high I've been checking specs on motor scooters online. Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha all have small scooters around $2500-3500, but I found some imports (150 cc engines) for $1000-1500. Are these garbage or will they last me a few years. I have been surprised before by buying a cheap lawn tractor that lasted 17 years and cost me almost nothing in repairs while friends bought more expensive ones with well known names that always needed repairs and lasted about half as long as my cheap one.

At inspection my mechanic said I needed new brake rotors on a 2000 Ford Focus. Is this reasonable?

I have an older rat bike I'm trying to spiff up. Looking for old, out-of-stock items like seats, tanks, lights, suspension, etc, etc. New or used. Anyplace besides a Honda dealership. No luck there.
Currently searching eBay too. Thanks.

My mechanic's in Missouri---she says it's either: my starter's burnt out (had arching off a bad neg. battery cable), or the ignition coil's gone bad (bought at a store we won't name, but I've had to replace every other part I've bought there within 4 months, incl. the spark plugs). Any recommendations on a cheap way to figure out which one? Single mom with 5 kids, and this is my only transport. (Mechanic is recently certified, with a 4.0 average.) Yes, the battery harness was replaced, correctly, and the battery has a full charge (took it and had it checked). I can't afford towing, or someone who's going to charge more than $20 to come out and check it onsite. Not enough room to describe all the minute details here, like I did with her, but she says it absolutely is *not* the alternator. TIA.

I was in a car accident. I had right of way, I colided with lady who did not yield. I went through my insurance for repair, as waiting for the other insurance co. would take too long. I had to pay my deductible for repair. My insurance went after the other company to get reimbursed for the repair. Today I got a check with a refund of 65% of my deductible. Can they do that? What can I do to collect the rest of my deductible? The other driver's insurance co. is responsible for the damage caused by their client. Why should I lose any money on that?
