Van is paid for, not rusted, has no leaks, still looks like new. But could need a $500.00 or more car repair. Can't afford new, but I do have 5.500 to put on another one. But I can't get a loan because I have bad credit. What should I do?

A friend recently gave the SC a right slating, saying that they were too slow and that the Turbo was the only one to go for.

Are SCs underpowered (compared to the Turbo)- are they still considered quick, especially for someone who has never driven either? Thanks!

I can hear and feel a "clunk" when I release the clutch... it usually happens in mid range gears, 2-4, and less noticable in gears 1 and 5. Any idea what this could be? I'm a broke student and don't want to have to take my bike to the workshop if it's not necessary! Thanks for the help...

I've always liked classic cars, having owned a few Minis (I loved them to bits, even if they did have the structural integrity of a wet tissue). I restored and modified them tastefully on a slim budget and sold them on to first-time buyers for a healthy profit.

Now I am a little older I want to try something bigger, like a Porsche 911 SC. My question is, with the current environmental climate, are cars with this sort of fuel consumption bad ideas as future investments, as people are going to be less and less likely in want of an older car that is this thirsty?

Thanks!

My van is in need of about $500.00+ repair. It keeps dying on me. It's never done this before. It will start sometimes, and won't stay started then just die. I've kept this van up with frequent maintance. The mini van is 11 years old, I've had the transmission rebuilt, the 6 leaks under it guaranteed to never leak again and it hasn't, new breaks, belts hoses, serpentine belt, timing chain,distributor cap,battery, front axel, tires, it has 90,000 miles on it, it's never been wrecked,the oil in the engine is crystal clear, it's not gummy, or sandy, should I buy another used car that's newer, or stay where I'm at and keep fixing this one? It's paid for. (The reason it had the axel replaced is the former owners drove it alot) When I bought it it had 22,000 miles on it. Now it has 90,000. I've had it 8 years and drove it about 8000 miles a year. The blue book value of it is 2000.00 thats what I've been offered for it twice, but I'm not sure if I want to take it. What's your opinion

I dont want that crappy trunk vibrating noise with my high powered system. I also want as much sound in the interior of the car as possible.

I dont really car about other people hearing me, me hearing the system comes first.

Should I fire the subs through the rear seat or fire them at the trunk lid??

Also, will the SPL from the subs cause the speakers in my rear deck to distort?

Thanks to all!

I bought a car from a used car dealer in Arkansas and found out the second day that it has a blown head gasket and will cost a couple grand to fix along with 10 other codes that need to be fixed. I need to know if it can be legally returned.

My dad wrecked my car a few months ago, it was totaled and I was told it could never be repaired. Would they still allow me to get my things out of it? Cd player, plates, my dad's belongings (he passed away 1 month afterward) etc?

Someone had hit my car today and there was a witness. The other person didn't have insurance and since It was real minor, we agreed he would just buy a new headlamp and pay for the labor which is 300.00. I did get his number, address, DL #, # on his plates and even had him write a note stating he was at fault and would pay for damages. However it's been a couple of days and he hasn't returned my calls or anything and I don't know what to do. Do I bring him to small claims court, call the police, does anyone know if I can still do anything about it?????? I cannot report to DMV because damage is under 750.00. Does this mean he got away???
