Cars & Transportation - 10 December 2006

My daughter and I are shopping for a new car for her, something smaller sized and priced,,, this is really the first time i have done this,, since being divorced,,,,,,i dont know if its because we are female, or just salesmen's tactics, our one venture out was irritating,,,,, trying to get exact info, pricing etc,,,,there was more of an attitude, "let us run your credit, and see what you can afford, then we will put you in a car",,,, finding the exact amount of discounts and rebates was also hard,,,,, and the 2007 car we were shown had a scratched left window and the dealers sticker on the back was also scratched and almost rubbed off??? and the car smoked when he backed it out of the space in the lot,,, i found all that very odd ,,,, what i did was just be firm, in wanting the exact price they would sell (or initial price they offered to sell ) the car/cars for,,,,also at the end, the manager of the lot came out, and asked me what price i wanted to pay,,,, is this all normal tactics?

So My 2001 Cheverolet Impala LS (3.8L Engine) has recently started to have a "rough idle" which also carries over to coasting (foot off the pedal) when driving.

RPM's will bounce from 1000 to 750 then bounce back up to around 1200 and up.

This does not/not happen when the car is under load (ie: accelerating - as I know I had a problem years back with a corroded spark plug wire which would fire, but at around 2500-3000 (heaviest load) it was unable to deliver, and would cause much more noticeable bogging.

I have checked the plugs, wires, terminals, no corrosion whatsoever.

I am leaning towards this being more of a Transmission problem or perhaps engine.

This car certainly has had it's share of problems, and had a used 2004 Transmission put in it (out of a wreck with 13K on it) about 30K ago (making the tranny about 43Km's old - never rebuilt).
This was replaced about 1.5 yrs ago.

What is the mileage of an airplane flying at one minute?
I just want to know how many miles an airplane can fly in a minute.
Or just a ratio of the time and mileage.
Thanks!

I have a 93 mercury capri convert and I used to have a huge system in a lumina, but with this car i can only get 10s to fit in the trunk. My last system cost so much and used so much power it was overwelming. Im trying to find 10 inch subs that sound good, but super cheap and doesn't shake every bolt in my car loose. I dont care about brand name. Normally I wouldnt get another system, but without the other one the pure treble sounds horrible.

1999 Toyota Corolla with 55,000 miles, auto trans.
Took to my independent mechanic, 1 man who does all the work. I have been taking cars to him for 8 yrs and never had any problems with him, and trust all his work.
Took this car to him for a few routine maint. things....he put in 4 new spark plugs, replacing the AC plugs that were in there with NGK plugs, and replaced air filter, and he cleaned and adjusted rear brakes.
The gas mileage has dropped from 35 miles per gallon to 25 miles per gallon ( immediately after mechanic did this work)
Should I take it back to mechanic and see if he can do anything?
