Considering buying one: what are your informed impressions:
* value compared to Honda or Toyota
* frequency of need for repairs?
* feeling of quality or lack thereof?
* treatment by sales and service people
* for backyard mechanics: easy to work on? or not?

i have an 89 nissan 240sx i am changing the pads in the back. i went out and bought a c clap to push the caliper back in, i was told by many people this would work, ok i can turn the caliper counter clockwise and it comes out quick and easy. and then i can easily push it back in with the c clamp, but once it gets to where it was when i took the brakes apart, it just stops, i had the c clamp looking like it was gonna snap, and it wont go back in, i have tried turning it, letting the valve open, everything, any ideas?

I have owned two used cars previously. My first car was a 1985 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 convertible, gorgeous, baby blue. It had a lot of problems, and cost me a lot on repaires but that's because it was 18 years old! It lasted until 2004, at 19 years old! A year later, and it would have been considered an antique (I think?). This was my baby, but I had to junk it because nobody would buy an '85 that was not working (the transmission finally died).

My current car is a '94 Nissan Sentra. I've only had minor problems with it so far that are maintenance, not engine problems (dashboard lightbulb died, battery was bad, exhaust leak due to a rusty part that needed to be replaced...). It's not a bad car, it's just getting old (has 145,000 miles on it), and I want to get something a little more reliable.

More details below on lifestyle and such.

the car died while i was accelerating to about 40mph, is this most likely the timing belt? how much to fix if it is? if it is too much, what are options for selling it and around how much could i get for it with a dead engine? sorry for too many questions, but i don't know much about car repairs and a little stressed right now of it. thanks for any helpful advice.

I changed the oil and did not tighten the oil filter good. I added 3.8 quarts per manual - I have changed the oil several times before with no problems. Did not realize it was leaking until oil light started coming on. I lost a good amount of oil. I have added 2 quarts and the level barely shows on sides of the dipstick? Do I need to add more, should the oil be a film all the way across the dipstick, near the top dot?

Whatever model is included in the program. You pay only the taxes, registration, conveyance and GAP Insurance(the total comes to approxinmately $2000.00. You receive a check for whatever the lease payments will total for one full year. You use taht money to pay the monthly payments(no additional money out of pocket). You are allowed up to 12,000 miles for the year(no more than that). You can turn the car in as long as there is no damage and you can get a brand new car again for the same deal. You have to have perfect dredit.
My question is: How the heck is this possible? How does the dealer make enough money to cover this?

Just looking through my POH, and the props can be from 67.5 to 69". Is it really that hard to make them all the same length? It sounds like poor craftsmanship.

Hello knowledgeable guys!
I signed the contract to purchase a used car from used car dealership in Connecticut and paid a dawn payment 300$. My intentions were to send this car to my dad to other county, but I figured out the costumes fee a so ridiculously high, so it’s cheaper to buy car there. So I asked a dealer to cancel the deal. They refused to return my 300$ back. They didn’t offer me to sign a cancellation papers. In the contract it’s no even a word that is not refundable, and to be honest I wasn’t aware that they keep it. So the owner told me when this car will be sold I can have my money back. They sold it, but don’t want return my down payment (no return calls to resolve it). Unfortunately this agreement of returning my money was only verbal . And now the question: Can I return my money back? Thank you very much!
