Cars & Transportation - 29 May 2007

My father made me a deal. He told me if I get a full ride scholarship to college he would buy my the car of my choice. I have narrowed it down to 3 different models. I would like to know what car you would choose. I don't want you to pick one because it cost more. I would like your opinion on quality, handling, and the other goodies. My choices are the 2008 BMW 328i, 2008 Acura TL, and the 2008 Volvo S40.

I do not have a CDL. I am a lifelong Michigan residient who was driving out of state. Both tickets were paid on time (one of them right on the roadside) and my Michigan driving record has been clean for a number of years now. Just wondering if there will be any further penalties beyond the ticket fines (them Minnesota boys sure are greedy).

We noticed the service history book was not with the car, told by salesman they have it but would find it and send it to us, weeks passed nothing from the garage we contacted the manager he said he would look into it, more time passed so we contacted BMW uk and asked them about the cars history they sent us out a list of dates of when the car had work carried out, before coming to Scotland the car was looked after by a BMW garage in England, so we contacted them and they informed us they only carried out 3 servises on the car meaning the car has a missing oil service between 30000 & 60000 miles told our dealer about this they say they had spoken to the other garage and they told them they had done the missing service and would send a duplicate service book stating this but it arrived with the servise in question missing, they still tell us they have no record of this service but our garage is telling us they did do it and are now getting irritated by us wanting to get it sorted. HELP?

I don't care what color the ext. or int. are. I can change those if I need to. But the car must be in excellent driving condition and have little to no rust. It doesn't need CD player, or even a radio, but everything must be in at least 'inspection-passable' cond., including all the engine and mechanical parts. (not very car-language savvy, haw. ^_^; ) Must be a 4-Door 1967 Impala. 7000 or less. Power steering is a plus but not necessary. Can anyone help me out?

I am no car person so any kind of help would be nice. Given, my car is old (1995) Corolla, it's got a mile count of 230,000+... I just gave it a radiator flush and oil change. Everything else about it came up ok but that HC. Are there usual causes for this? I want to learn!

We own a 2001 jeep cherokee it needs to have to engine overhauled. The cost of the repair is $3000 - $4000. The car is only worth about $3000, but we still owe $6800. What makes better sense financially, repairing the car, or paying it off and buying a new vehicle?

This is my personal opinion: If gas prices keep going up and up which looks like that's the case for now, I think the only solution will be to each of us start investing in a hybrid/electric car. Personally, my next purchase will be a hybrid car that takes 60+ MPG. I think it's about time we start loosing the love to buy big SUVs and other Low Gas economy cars and invest in something that will save us possibly hundreds of dollars of gas now and in the future. What are your opinions?

Decided to go with Polk Audio SR6500 Components for the doors. According to Crutchfield they wont fit? The MOMO series 6.5's will fit. The difference is 5/8 in diameter. The MOMO's are 5", and the SR series are 5 5/8". I guess I could take the door panels off to measure, but I figured it couldnt hurt to ask here first. Thanks.

Right now I have a 1979 Dodge Ram Charger but its too rusted. I want a 1990s model like it (Bronco, full size Blazer, Ykon, etc). Should I look at a K1500 Blazer with 290,000 + miles? I assume with that many miles, the engine has been reworked/replaced, the current owner doesnt know. Is it worth investigating? I just want it for weekend work and hauling a bit (like my dogs), not a daily driver.
