I live in Wisconsin; I have cash in hand to pay full amount to a private party for a car. What do I do to take care of the title and registration and anything else that needs to be taken care of? Also, how should I make a record of the purchase if it's in cash?

I had them changed around 2 and half weeks ago as they were very worn down. Does it take a while for the new brakes to adjust or is the squeeking down to the fact they were poorly fitted?

The timing belt on my Accord (manual trans) needs to be changed. I know a guy who has a shop who could do it, but my mechanic said it's dangerous due to an interferance fit - the valves and pistons hitting. Can someone explain this? Someone else said it's not that complicated.

No avoiding it - there was a hunk of wood in the middle of the lane. I straddled the debris, but still heard a loud clunk. Only visible damage is the plastic under carriage appears torn and hanging low. No weird noises, oil pressure seems ok...Anything else I can check - or should I take it in to be sure?

My power wire is hot, my radio works, my ground is fine, and my fusues are replaced. Are they're any steps that I'm missing in checking out what the problem is to why my amp isn't working? My amplifier is an Autotek MX 1500.1 and is wired to four Audiofonic twelves (DVC; ADF-272's).

We just paid $800 for a wheel alignment, suspension, and a few other little things, new water pump and fan. But now the car shakes when we go over 50 on the driver side, we took it back to the mechanic who tried to say it's this and that, (trying to get more money). We weren't about to dish out more, so he tried a little 'test' switch the front and the back tire (on the driver's side) his test failed because it's still shaking. Is it the wheel alignment job he did?

Most of them have ridiculously noisy and large silencers (or rather not silenced) fitted - they seem to work on the principle that 'more noise = more speed' - I was told that these cars are tested with the original makers silencer fitted and once an MOT was acquired the noisy one was fitted instead - surely this is not legal? Just curious - any sensible answers out there?

I have always loved the looks of the Millenia but I dont want to buy someone elses problems. So I have some questions:

Is their anything I should be aware of? Trany, engine, electrical ect...

How many miles can I expect? 200,000?

Do you always have to use premium gas or can you use mid grade? How many MPG can I expect?

Could someone look up the history of this car. Carfax wants $19.95 Is their any free sites?

Thanks for any info,

For two adults on two cars, basic AAA is more expensive by $30 (or $50, I can't remember) than getting emergency road service from my insurer, and AAA Plus is considerably more. I don't know, however, whether the coverage is essentially the same. The insurance appears to cover some towing and up to one hour of onsite labor (to replace a flat, I assume).

I like AAA's maps and Triptiks, but I'm likely to buy a GPS soon (any suggestions under $400?) and do a lot of online travel research, so those benefits are diminishing in value.

Thanks for your thoughts.
