My used car has started to act wierd sometimes, for some reason the car can't be turned on every once in a while. There is no power from the battery I assume, CD player doesn't work, power windows, alarm, no light etc. Most times though, it's turns on fine, no problem.

My mechanic checked to see that battery is ok and there doesn't look like a short or anything he could find. Also he said that he doused the entire inside under the hood with water as it usually does this after it rains, no problem. The damn thing is playing with me and only does it when no one is around. I usually just wait a while like an idiot and after a few tries it works.

I'm just afraid that one day... IT WON'T WORK. Can anyone help or have anyone experienced the same thing. According to the mechanic the battery should be fine.

I have a 1996 honda civic with 150k miles on it. I am debating if I should sell my car and buy a new(used) car.

The reasons I want to sell it:
1)The AC dosent work, not worth fixing and it gets hot in Atlanta.
2) Has good bit of body damage that I have hammered out myself, not an vechical you would want to pick up your date in.
3) It's not worth much right now, so I want to get what It's worth now before the value depriciate more(Personally I think it has depreciated to it's lowest value). I would guess it's worth $2000 tops.
4) This car affects my personal life, people judge me, I cant really impress anyone with it.

The reasons I want to keep it:
1) It runs fine, no mechnical or engine issues
2) Gives great gas mileage, I can squeez 45MPG when I am Hypermiling.
3) Inurance is cheap, since it's old and I have only liablity coverage.
4) This car will probably last me for another year or two before it starts giving serious problems.

So what would you do?

I am going through motorcycle withdrawls :( I injured my ankle pretty badly 3 days ago and I can't ride my bike for AWHILE. Someone cheer me up. I am going crazy everytime I look out my door and see my bike just sitting there. I am trying to convince my husband to let me ride my bike in 2 weeks instead of up to 8 weeks. I am going crazy here. I live to ride!!!! I am thankful my bike didn't get damaged so when I heal I can get back to riding. Any suggestions on healing more quickly so I can get back to riding?

How can I tell when my car's air filter needs to be changed? It's not buried under under an inch of dust - but there is a light film of dust on all the surfaces. Are there any photos out there that will teach me to tell the difference between fine and replace?

With the new (or rebuilt) transmission it's worth about 3500 - 3800.

Do you judge by innovation? Maybe by the release of your all time favorite car? Can it be that you'll choose a year that a milestone in motorsport drew attention to the industry? Choose your own criteria and let me know.

We took our 2004 Geo Prisim to a shop and told them the AC was not working nor was the fan; They charged us $270.00 to fix it (saying the fan only was broken, not the AC)
the AC worked twice and stopped; We took it back and the ownwer said the compressor was no good and it would cost $500.00. I think they should have fixed it right the first time or at least put the $270.00 towards a compressor. Am I right or wrong?

I have a 1993 ES 300 Lexus, I got this car from the auction and it has a bad miss fire. I took the car to a shop to get a scan on it and they told me that I need to change the knock sensor for the car to stop shaking. I changed that at a different shop. The car is still shaking like a mini bike. So I took the car to the Lexus dealer and they said, clean the EGR valve and change the Modulator, and oxygen sensor. I did that and its still shaking.
I changed the spark plugs, wires, cap, roder, still shakes. Is the motor gone or what? It has 140miles on it. I went to a salvage yard and they said they have a motor for that car for 600. should I just get it? I live in Los Angeles if anyone have a shop i can go to let me no the number please.

I need to replace the power steering pump on my car and I know that most of the time, if I can get a Nissan part vs. an Inifiniti part, it is the same, only a lot cheaper.
