I have a Oldsmobile Cutlass 1998 at 155 000 miles. Firstly, I though there is a leak in the coolant system. I was putting water every 3 days and it worked fine for few months. However, probably with the time the leak got bigger and I overheated it once. Then i decided to take it to the repair shop I was told it is gasket and it will cost me around 500$. I didn't do the job. Today after driving with around 75 miles per hour the engine stoped working. I pulled over waited for half an hour and the road asistance told me it is the head gaskets are blown. I got it towed to the nearest repair shop. They didn't even look at it but just told me that head gaskets will cost me aound 1600$ which is almost the price of the car. Do you think that is the real price of this job or he just wanted to take an advantage of me? I think it is the same job that I was going to get done for 500$, just the difference is that the gaskets are blown now, not just leaking. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

I have a 1996 Golf GTi. I was driving around in traffic today and it started to to get a bit tricky to get it into first gear. Over about ten minutes it was getting harder to get it into first and from first to second. I stopped at a roundabout and when I went to pull off it wouldn't go into first or second but it would go into reverse so I reversed to the side of the road and turned the engine off. With the engine off it would go into first so i started it in gear and drove to a spot to get picked up by the recovery vehicle. Now that I am home first gear seems to be working again? Any ideas what is wrong?

I'm trying to sell my 99 Mercury Sable with 42k miles for $5,000 everyone says I'm too expensive for it. But the car is in great condition, minus some dents in the front *hardly noticeable). Well I'm having my baby in May and am wanting a car with the metal latch thing in the back for the baby carrier and a car that is safe. What is a good used car brand/model? that is in the $5,000-$6,000 price range used?

I have a 2001 Sunfire that won't start. When I turn the key to start the car, it makes a loud noise. It sounds like a jack hammer. What do you think this is?

I read something about this, but i forget what it was. It said that way back when, like in the sixties or sometime, GM had sold the blueprints of one of their engines to Dodge, so they could make the same engine. What engine was it?

thanks everyone for answering my question, and I've e-mailed my governor, other state officials, state and local police and I'm not done yet, this is something that is very important, the resent bus accident with the baseball team, if they had seat belts, maybe less would have been killed. I'm getting my family and their friends involved in this and the more that compalin, well maybe we can make a difference. thanks again

The boat was left on some property that we purchased and other than the elements taking there tole on the interior, the hull looks good and the 85 H.P. engine runs good. I can't find anything on any ski boats made by duracraft though. Any information about them would be great, even if it is just your opinion of the boat or what I should do with it. It is an older boat. I'm not sure how old, but the engine is a 1969 Johnson Outboard.
