Am thinking of either going to a car dealership, auction, or look in the newspaper. What things should I look for? Am looking for models in the late 90's and up.

and let's say the pay per month was 600. And, assuming I'll be working fulltime once I get there for 12 bucks an hr (entry level so low-ish pay), what should be the monthly payment of a decent car (not lease but to own) (used but not the ice cream truck that Borat bought for 6-700 bucks)?

iI have a 99' Jeep Wrangler and the transmission sticks in only first gear when it is cold. Someone told me it could be the transmission filter? Is there a such thing and could that be the problem?? It runs fine the rest of the time. Thanks Rick

I have 1993 Buick Regal Custom w/191k miles. The car completely shuts off almost every time I put my foot on the brake, the tires are bald, the a/c doesn't work, I cant adjust the volume on the radio...the list goes on. I took my car to an auto shop and was given an estimate of at least $500 (not including a/c repair). Is this car worth fixing or should I just invest in a new vehicle? I really like the fact that I don’t have a car note but I don’t like the idea of investing my hard earned cash into a piece of crap!

I have a 1990 Dodge Shadow, and while rolling my window up, I guess it got off track or something, and well anyway, now the entire glass piece is out (in one piece thankfully). But, it looks like rain and I'd really like to have a window. How do I put it back in?

i'm workin on my buddys 62 impala. he has a 350 crate engine that was sitting on jackstands for about a year in the garage. it ran great before when in was in his 65. the distributer is timed, the exhaust isn't hooked up yet, we can get it to run for about a few seconds then it will cut out. flames come out when we put fuel in the carberator by pressing the gas. when we just crank it to start no flames and no start.

ok please only answers from people who have relevant knowledge and are here to offer help not say things like take it to a garage

ok i have a 1996 vauxhall brava, 2.5 non turbo

4 months ago i replaced the key start with a toggle switch and a push button, for reasons of price rather than asthetics.

monday morning i went to start it after spending all weekend working on it and it would not start, seemed like a problem with the diesel pump.

anyway after alot of cranking the starter began to play up, its either clicks or whirrs and when engaging sometimes made a nasty crunch,

the vehicle had another big truck supplying the power through jump leads.

i have once stripped and rebuilt a starter purely to change the two terminals, but this was on a vehicle that was purely clicking and not whirring,

any ideas??

I just bought a 2007 Toyota Corolla brand new. I'm loving it so far (junked a tin heap 2005 Hyundai Accent). It has the standard 36/3yr b.2.b. and 5yr powertrain. I hope to drive it forever, no plans to trade in. I didn't get the salespitch on the extended warrantee because I said no right up front to the suggestion. Now I'm wondering. Does anyone know what it might cost and if it'd be worth it? I didn't get one on my Hyundai because it was over $800 and didn't plan on keeping the car more than five years anyway (only lasted two; it was awful!) Before that, I had a Nissan, bought used at three years old, and pretty much had no warranty at all an drove it for eight more years and 120,000 more miles paying for the occasional repair out of pocket. Does anyone know what the Corolla extended warranty might cost and if they think it would be worth it?

I have some 'practical' question about buying a first motorcycle. Not which bike I should buy etc.. but practical things. The first thing is: Where do I park it at night? On the street? I live in a decent area but live in an apartment. No garage.. I dont see any other motorcycles on the street.. do they get stolen? Do you park it with a chain on it?

Is insurance expensive on them? (just weekend riding)

How much is registration?

and I want to pay it off in 4 more months, but I kinda don't like my car anymore! So I was wondering if I was to trade it in for another vehicle and pay it off, how would that be possible? Would I still pay more than wanted to.? Cause I was going to pay the remaining balance of $17,000. But I don't want to pay no more or no less. Do you think I'm better off just keeping my car now, or would it work out if I traded it in for a different modle adn year. ? I'm clueless about what to do? Do you think toyotas are relaiable? Someone please help!

Hi, I have an M-registered (1995) audi 80 avant. It has a (rather worn) 4-spoke leather-bound airbag steering wheel. I'd like to replace it with a three-spoke leather sports one. I understand that I should disconnect the battery and wait half-an-hour before attempting anything (to avoid airbag detonation), but a few questions remain:
1. How do I ensure indicator cancelling continues to work?
2. Can I prevent airbag light coming on? I've seen Momo wheel bosses for this purpose for other cars, but not for mine.
3. Will it pass its MOT without airbag?
Your thoughts, please!
