I found a lease deal for a 2007 vovlo xc70. 12k miles a year for 3 years. $2000 down, $418 a month. Buyout the car at the end for $17,500. The car is not loaded, but it does have the climate package. Any thoughts? It seems like a very cheap buyout at the end. Am i missing something?

i have that car with an '87 350 that i believe used to be TBI, but is now 4 bbl carb w/out any computer. it ran fine until one day it started running really rough after i ran it hard and then it quit running all together. I rebuilt the carb, it's getting fuel, the timing is right, i checked the dist. and the chain is good, i was wondering if i'm not getting power to the spark plugs? i replaced the coil and it works, but could it be that i'm not getting power to the coil? What else could be the problem?

89 S-10 blazer,after replacing upper end gasket set and having heads redone, timed and fluids, it makes a whining sound like bad starter.
It has no comppresion in 5 cylinders, could it be my piston rings.
It didn't sound like that before. It has 4.3L V6
Any suggestions

I need a car. I currently have a Ford Taurus 2000, it needs a lot of fixtures, I don’t want to fix it so I am going to sale it. My thing is what car should I buy? I like the 2004 Nissan Maxima, I don’t know if this is a good car. And if I do buy a car should I just buy a new car. My credit is very good, but I can only afford to pay $450 a month. I need some help. I live in San Jose, CA but I can also make a purchase in Modest, CA. It is my first time buy a car from a dealer.

i know it is probably the front roters but the breaks seem fine aside from the occasional shaking........is it still ok to drive w/out having it checked out?

It seems like its missing, and the rpm needle goes low, but the engine never shuts off. It seems like it is going to shut off but it never does. This lasts for about less than a minute, then it gets a blast of energy and it speeds right up, and everything is normal. It occurs everytime i start the car and drive. It happens almost 5 mins after the car has been started. Thishappened after my timing belt broke, and after i replaced it this happens. Before the mechanic said it was the oxygen sensor, so i changed those and still the problem. Now the final conclusion my last mechanic came to was that its the ECM/ECU, because the CHECK ENGINE light is also on. Now what could it be? Timing belt, ECM copmuter? plz help!

If a 777 is much more effecent than an 747 and carries close to the same amount of people , why would the airlines continue to use the 747 . Does the 747 still have some advantages?

At the weekend i was just driving along in my new car and the ESP light came on my dashboard. After i got home and turned my car off. Later that day i started up my car to go out and the light was off and did not return on until yesterday. It seems restarting the engine clears the light.The light seems to only appear when i brake though, or at least i think. Can anyone help!?!? i have no idea whats going on and if its dangerous for me to be driving my car?? Thanks

When it rains, my brakes squeal and the car stops really suddenly when I hit the brakes (kind of herky-jerky). This goes away after a few minutes.

And when I ease into a parking spot or my garage, there is a slight grinding sound/feel coming from my front brakes. This only happens when I'm slowly applying the brakes.

Are these signs that my car needs new brakes?
