I've been looking at trying to increase horsepower. I'm willing to spend $1000 dollars. I see turbo kits on ebay but I don't know if thats the route I want to go.

i have a 98 taurus and today i discovered a coolant leak coming from a hose/pipe that runs from the water pump to the firewall (heater core?). I also noticed a bit more smoke coming from the tail pipe than usual. i don't want to just repair the coolant leak if there is a greater problem. how can i tell if i have a blown head gasket?

I am interested in buying this 1994 Iszus Rodeo LS from a Private Seller for $1,500 willing to take $1200 for it as is. She said that there was two things that needed repair, 1- carrier bearings need to be replaced/repaired 2- the axel bearing needs to be completely replaced for sure.

How much would it cost to have these things done at a fair price, including cost of labor?. She told me she would pay to have it fixed if it wasnt too much and then add the cost of the repairs to the total selling price. What am I looking at here....a deal or no deal kinda thing?

Help, I really need a car....oh and its got 95,000 miles on it, new brakes, new tires, and new MP3 player. Blue book says its really worth about $3500 once the problems were fixed.....please help....

Ok, I have a 2001 Benz C240. I was just driving home from work this evening & all of a sudden I heard a loud pop! And I mean LOUD! Then the light popped up & said battery/alternator malfunction. I kept driving & while I was waiting at a light, it made a pop again like my engine fell to the ground. Well, I got over in the next lane & I was trying to pull over into a parking lot & I could barely turn the steering wheel! I had to litterally put all my weight into getting it to turn! I finally pulled over & cut the car off. And my lights cut off & won't come back on & my seat won't move either! GEEZ!
What should I do? I got one of those "warranties" you can purchase with the car but I am sure it is b.s. The boolet shows how it covers a mutitude of things like everything I described here. I will be calling them tonight. If they won't fix it, I would trade it in but I would be upside down by $10K! Dumb...I know! What should I do!!

I bought a Sandisk Sansa MP3 player (looks almost like Nano) during the summer. I was very excited to put it in my car with the FM modulator. Well, it sounded like crap, and I returned that thing ASAP. My sound system is worth $2,000 and it pissed me off that the sound sucked. What makes it sound good? Is the quality ever the same as satellite radio? What am I doing wrong? Are the Ipods any better. Does it matter what brand or is it the connectivity that is the problem?

Do you have to take the clutch, pressure plate, and throwout barring out before you change the slave cylinder of a 1997 S-10 pickup?

Got a 2000 Dodge Ram Sport ext cab. Truck has a body lift with rims and tires I put on it and 86,000 miles automatic. The air conditioner went out and the tranny is starting to slip. I can trade it for a 2003 Chevy s10 4x4 ZR5 with 30,000 miles v6. Not sure if I want to give up my ride but tired of the gas sucking and don't want to start sinking money in it to fix things that start breaking. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Should I keep it or let go.
