I can't afford the $650 month car note for next 4 years. Owe $29K, blue book value approx $20K-23K. Approx $8000 upside-down. Do I grit my teeth and keep paying or sell and still owe $8K? I can't afford to borrow $8K either nor do I have cash to buy another car. I want to be debt-free. Will never make this mistake again. Appreciate your help.

If I had an accident that didnt involve contact with any other vehicle
but another vehicle went into a ditch on the other side of the interstate for some reason near me, am I liable to pay for their damages? Their insurance company has been bugging me for over a year but I have not heard anything from a lawyer or court officials. I have asked for a police report and then they stopped contacting me for like 6 months. This is a very serious financial issue so any guidance would be very much appreciated. Help!

Every time I use the a/c or defrost in my truck, the engine clicks, and the rpms go down to between 0 and 1. It happens like every three seconds. It does not happen when I have the regular heat or air on.

I sold a car two years ago and today a guy called me who says he is buying the car but the person does not have a current title. He wants me to sign this title again as the seller for him. He says if I don't, I will have to pay the sales tax from the past 2 years. Just what do you think is going on here? What should I do? Is it really my problem?

I have a Honda Nighthawk. I think it's a '97. The bike ran awesome and then I left for Iraq for a year. Yes I am very stupid and did not put fuel stabilizer in the tank. The bike was stored inside. When I returned I tried to start the bike up. It didn't start up. I tried to jump the battery and that didn't solve the problem. My buddies told me that the fuel evaporated and now I have to get the fuel injectors serviced. Is that true? Also I'm gonna store it for the winter before I try to get it running again. I notice that there was a huge oil leak under the bike after I tried to start it. What is the best process for storing it for the winter and getting it running in the spring?

I was in a auto accident and the other party came from a side road across two lanes and hit me in the middle of a four-lane hwy. I called a attorney and he had me sign a paper for i/3 of my money and when I needed him he told me there were no laws to help me and he couldn't do anything to help me get the medical help I needed. That there was no law that said the ins company had to give me anything.

I was driving on a 2 lane road going 45 mph on lane#2 and spotted a car on lane#1 weaving back and front over to my lane... so I slowed down because he looks like he was drunk or lost. I honked at the car to get his attention and to alert him and it worked... he went back to his lane. So I proceeded to speed up and pass him since he was going in and out of the lane. As I was trying to pass him... he swerved over to my lane without signaling so my first reaction was to step on my brakes and swerve over to the right to avoid an accident. But he continues to swerve over more and caused me to hit the curb. I stopped the car and he slowed down. But when he saw that I was moving he sped up and left the scene. A witness pulled over and assisted me and said that it was totally the guys fault. Do you consider this my own fault or a hit and run since he caused the accident? What would the insurance say?

Im looking into buying a 2000 Jeep : Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4
with 98,000 miles on it, it has a brand new A/C and brakes, with tires at 80% tread life left, and i get a one year 10,000 mile warranty. The asking price is $5,995. So my question is HOW GOOD OF A DEAL IS THIS? Is this going to be reliable enough to drive well for another 20,000 miles? If you own this SUV let me know your experience. Thanks.

So my original problem was my car started to drift to the left, and had to hold to the wheel to the right to maintain a strait path. I switched the two front tires and it started drifting the other way. Well two tires and 100$ dollars later, the problem is still not fixed. However today, then i was getting my 2nd tire put on i noticed something out of place, i took a closer look and saw that the rim was bent in one spot. I asked the employee if that's a problem and he assured me not. If i take that rim off, and put my donut on, it runs fine. So am i to assume my bent rim is causing my car to drift to one side? Is this a known cause of this problem? And is there any way to find my particular rim to match my other 4?

This is a 99' Sebring convertible, by the way.
