Cars & Transportation - 8 March 2007

I'm starting a new business, but I'm not going to have any revenue until I complete a lengthy certification process. I'd like to know if anybody has immediately rolled a personal vehicle into a new company as a company vehicle? Are there benefits? Detractions? Does it matter that I have no revenue for the next 3 to 6 months?

I'm looking to buy a 2002 Toyota Rav4; my car is going to be around $12,000 (for the one I want) and I will put $5,000 down. I am only 18 years old and I will be going to college full time as well as working about 30 hours a week, do you know what my interest rate will be? I work as a nanny/babysitter for 2 different families and make almost $300/week, since I work under the table, should I have my parents borrow it for me? (They already have a car loan and will for the next 4 years.) Thanks!

when i lived in Cali i know when going through places like Donner Summit through the mountains of the Sierra Nevadas you had to use snow chains to get through the snow on the highway if the pass was open. My friend who lived in Reno, Nevada said that his parents would use chain style products for their tires for driving in the snow around town. I moved here to MN a year ago now and have spent 2 winters here in LOTS of snow. We dont use chains here at all. Is there a reason for this? What is the purpose of chains? Why are they used in other places and not here?

Most of their models get a 1 out of 10 rating on Consumer Reports, JD Power gives them the lowest score possible, and from personal experience, they are absolutely horrible cars in terms of reliability.

Are Daewoo cars some of the worst ever made? Second, why so bad?

I drove from work to home, a journey of less than eight miles after putting 3/4 of a gallon of coolant into the resivoir of my Saturn L300 2002 model. When I got home, the engine was smoking and ALL OF THE COOLANT WAS GONE! Obviously quite a leak, but I am curious: if the leak is right near the resivoir and can be accessed, how much would that cost versus the leak being under the engine and needing to have the engine taken out to fix the problem?

PLEASE HELP!! I am trying to figure out what the hell this repair shop is trying to pull. I was in an accident in a 2000 Civic where I sustained moderate front end damage. Initial estimate was $2900. Now the shop is trying to raise the estimate to $3900, saying the "core board" (cork board?) has to be replaced at an aftermarket cost of $200 for the part and 14 hours of labor. This seems excessive and I have no idea what this part is. Can anyone shed some light on this? What is this part? If it really does need to be replaced, is 14 hours (!) excessive? THANK YOU!!

MY car has been having an issue with starting after sitting a day or two. I took it to Sears and everything checked out fine. My lights will go on and everything but it just makes a clicking noise when I try to start it. Do I just need a tune up?

My automatic transmission for my 1993 chrysler daytona will no longer shift into gear.

I was driving, and everything was normal. I came to a stop light, stopped, and then when I started moving again, the car would not shift out of 1st gear (was going 30km/h at 5 RPM). Stopped the car, put into park, and now it won't shift into any gear.

Park works, and holds the car in place, and when I try to put the car into any gear, the transmission moves out of park, and the car will roll. Car will not go into reverse either.

When I got the car towed, there was a puddle of fluid under the car (reddish black almost).

Engine is running fine, car starts without a problem.

My main question is, could this be an easy and cheap fix (if so, what do you think the problem is), or does this sound like I will require a new transmission?

Thanks for your help.
