I am planning to buy a used 1992 Honda Prelude for $2,700.00. How does the insurance work? Does the price of the car that I paid or the retail price, plays as a factor of how much I would have to pay monthly for insurance. What insurance company would be the best for a new driver with her G2 only? Does anybody have an idea of how much it will cost me (approximately monthly) for the insurance? What other fees or cost will I have to pay for?

2 Doors, automatic, 4 Cyl., 2.2L, 238K on body, 60K on motor, no rust, claimed that rear wheelwell rust was professionally removed. If I was to buy the car from the person, where would I go to tranfers ownership. What important information should I know before I pay the money? Do I need to check up on the car, like history etc.? (I am scared to get scammed)

I was driving on the highway and a car in front of me braked (his brake lights were not working). I hit him from behind. I was told that the person who hit the other car from behind is always at fault because the driver from behind would don't have been paying enough attention to the road. Is he at fault for not having working brake lights or am i for not paying enough attention to the road??

Does that mean I can use 2 400w speakers?
What does the inches have to do with the speakers anyway?

And will a subwoofer maker the stereo system sound better? or it is not neccessary?

Thanx

I drive about an hour to school every morning (all highway). If I go over 80mph all the way there, the car will sputter/jerk when I come to a stop at the exit. If I get on the gas real hard when I take off from the exit (get the RPMs up), the sputtering is corrected. If I don't get the RPMs up, the sputtering continues and is evident in Park, Neutral, and Drive. Could this be a transmission solenoid even if it sputtering is occurring in Park and Neutral? The sputtering will not occur if I keep it under 80mph, but usually I am in a hurry to get to class. I am no expert on cars, but I believe it has something to do with the oil blowing up into the valves and causing them to stick leading to improper combustion. I feel that the increased RPMs upon hard acceleration from the stop frees the valves. Does my theory even make sense? I have tried fuel system cleaner and change the oil every 5 weeks/3,000miles. I have tried Lucas oil stabilizer. Besides this issue, the car runs great. Any ideas?

Overnight, my Pickup has lost GO power at take offs, it hesitates and does so even if I have the accelerator floored.

Once on the freeway/speeds, it feels just fine to problem-runs great.

I first thought it might be the TORQE converter. was not
Then i got TWO different COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS- nothing found!

Checked: timming, EGR, Cap/Rotor/plugs/wires, Fuel filter, all wires top to bottom, O2 sensor, Cat-converter, transmission flushed, checked almost everything.

It's a 305 5.0 L V8, Auto, TBI-throttle body injection. i think my fuel pump might be the problem, or throtle position sensor? i don't what else to think, i will return to my mechanic on thursday... any opinions or knowledge would be nice thanks people.

Pleas feel free to ask me questions, i will be checking and answer at "Add details"
