Cars & Transportation - 20 September 2006

I'm deciding on buying a car and my first choice is a Lancer, but i've been told by a friend that Mitsubishi has bad parts. And now I'm wondering about this since another friend told me it's ok. Help please?

How can i tell if my wheel bearings are bad? I replaced my Calipers on both sides and my pads. I can't do my rotors myself b/c it's a 97 honda and there pressed on. My rotors are in need of replacing but smooth and i don't believe them to be the cause of my grinding noise. The grinding noise is when i am driving and gets worse at higher speeds and tends to pulsate a bit. When i apply the brakes it doesn't get any worse and feels good under the foot? Could my bearings be gone? Thanks to all you techs out there I appreciate the help!

I am looking for a 04-05 civic, and I am wondering when would be the best time to get the lowest possible price? I am looking to buy around december-july is when I should have enough money saved up. I plan on buying used, I dont think I can afford new, and I dont like the new style, I like the 04-05 styles.

I have never bought a car from a dealer, this would only be my second car ever (im 19). Would an 8k downpayment be alot for a car that is about 14k?

And how easy is it to talk down a dealer from 14-15 k to about 13k or less?

My truck won't even start and the mechanic says that this is what needs replaced. I have checked with Advanced Auto online and they don't even list this item for my truck. Could it be called another name? What exactly does this part do? I would appreciate any help or advice that you may have.

Last year the heat worked fine, and recently I've had a lot of coolant system work done. I replaced the water pump, and had two heater hoses replaced, so what are some reasons why my heat won't come on now.
