I put a down payment on a 2003 Jeep Liberty, but the title did not clear on the car and they offered me a 2005 Jeep Liberty instead. However, now I have found a better car that I want to put my $1500 deposit on at another dealer. I was given a receipt for a deposit on a 2003 Jeep Liberty, and they have just cashed the check yesterday... can I get my deposit back? The salesman said I would get my deposit back if the 2003 Jeep title did not clear in a week, and there is nothing that says the deposit is non-refundable in the receipt. I did not sign any paperwork.

I have problems with the lawnmower-the engine sputters and emits excessive exhaust gases. I have changed the sparkplug and thoroughly cleaned the precleaner with detergent, then oiled it. However, the problems persist. Specifically, the engine makes unstable noises-it vibrates and makes a noise for 500mSec, then reduces the next half; this continues all of the time, but never turns off. I have also noticed that after just a few seconds of operation, the engine gets very hot.

Things you should know:
1. The battery in question is for my riding lawnmower, but its not much different then a motorcycle battery... that's why I'm asking this question in the motorcycle forum.
2. The battery is nearly dead. I have to put a battery charger on for 10-15 minutes to get it to turn over the engine.
3. I bought a new battery today and it works like a champ.
4. The old battery is not that old. About 6 yrs old.
5. It does not have fill caps but it does have two perforated plastic covers that I think I can wedge a flat-tip screwdriver (or two) into and force it open.

Now here is my questions:
A. Do you think my battery is low on electrolyte acid?
B. Is this kind of battery refillable?
C. If it is, should I use distilled water or de-ionized water?
D. Will I get a couple more years of reliable service out of this battery or should I just say forget it, and take the battery back to Sears for an $8 core refund?

If the last person to drive the car left the air conditioning on when they turned the car off, does it use more gas to turn the car on with it still on? My grandmother has been on my case about this and I want to know if there is any merit to her concern.

I have always loved fast cars, but couldnt afford one because I was going to school, now that I have enough money I went and bought myself a new supercharged mustang. Smart huh?

Anyway I go over 100 mph everyday of my life, and it is only a matter of time before I get pulled over or dead or worse.

So what can I do about this? I dont want to trade in my car for a kia rio, but I dont know what else to do??????
Any advice???

Why do some christians have a problem with this organization. I am a Catholic/Christian and know many masons that are very good people and have helped others along the way too.
I just don't think its fair for these christians to think that if your a mason your going to go to hell.

Last Monday night I was hit by and 18-wheeler truck (not my fault). Some how by the grace of God I was not injured - not even a scratch. However my car was totaled. The guy who hit me was sited for illegal lane change. My insurance company has been handling the claim. We just got the police report today. Meanwhile my insurance is trying to pressure us into settling with them for the amount of my car and it's only been a week since the accident. Plus they said I have to pay my deductible and may not get it back.

We want to go after the trucking company but my insurance is rushing us thru this process. They are now threatening to take away my rental car if we don't take their settlement. I'm not so worried about the rental car, but why are they rushing us thru this?

Also, if we decide to take the money from my insurance, can we still go after the trucking company? I was thinking about getting a lawyer but I wasn't injured. HELP! NEED ADVICE! What are my rights?

Has anyone had any problems with their newer model Saturns ('04 and up). It seems that the newer ones might be built a little better. I'm also curious what type of prices you all paid on new ones. I'm sure no matter what this will vary. I am looking at the ION 2 with no additional extras other than an automatic transmission.
