Cars & Transportation - 25 June 2007

I got a SUV last year in May becouse I needed something bigger becouse my cousins moved in with me... (Fosterkids) but I did not get kind of help becouse I was family and was dealing with 2 different states. So anyway I got this truck and they went back to there mom and now I dont need such a big car...I know I am upsaide down 10k and if I get something else my payments are going to be the same becouse I will be rolling over that much... I hope this makes sence. So my question to you is: How can I get out of this SUV that I cant afford? Dont say give it back to them becouse I dont want to hurt my creidt any more then what I have by beening behind on the payments.... PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

has anyone had a problem with the interior handle (driver side) of 99 GMC suburban breaking and, if so, is this a "do it yourself" repair?

My brake is obviously not on or I couldn't drive. The emergency brake works but the light won't go off.

It just started this problem yesterday. If at a stop light, the vehicle sputters almost to the point of stalling. And if letting off the brake a little say to ease up, the vehicle will jerk almost violently. And at take off the vehicle still sputters almost to the point of stalling. What's wrong with it?

My ac hasnt been working as good as it used to because the ac compressor is getting weak and all the money i am wasting to get it checked out almost every two months i might as well buy a brand new compressor and have someone install it for me. I was just wondering what would be a reasonable price at a reputable shop so i wont get ripped off.

Where and how in Northeastern PA is the best way to advertise and sell? How do I determine a ballpark figure for what it is worth? It is totally stock, top banana yellow with the rally stripes and has been garage kept (with protection from sitting on cement, etc). We are the original owners and the car has approximately 90K miles on it. Thought we would be restoring it after we retired but have decided that isn't where our passion is. We're a little overwhelmed with the Ebay route and just don't know where to go from here. Any ideas from your past experiences in selling a car such as this? Thanks!

I just bought a Grand prix coupe GT with 108,000 km, the car was not running when I bought it so I got it for a bargain, it only needed a battery to start up but the engine smokes a lot especially when hot, it gives out a blueish smoke. It still has a lot of power and even the AC works when idle. Does anyone have a clue?

I need to drain my fuel tank on my DIESEL 1999 dodge ram truck and do not know how exactly to go about it. It has a plastic tank and a mechanic told me not to let the fuel pump pump it out when I remove the filter because it would burn up the pump.

I dumped my 1998 Suzuki Marauder 800 yesterday... Scraped chrome, broken headlamp and mirror, bruised knee, road rash... Not to mention a bruised ego. I was not driving like an idiot; I'm a relatively new rider. I just took a sharp turn too fast and ended up in the gutter on the other side of the road (I learned my lesson). I'm sore, but mainly angry that my bike is all scraped up. Any advice on how to deal with dumping your bike?

I know my car has a dried out engine belt. The dealer that fixes my car told me if I don't replace it soon, it will ruin my engine which of course worries me. I asked how much it would cost to replace and he said $375, with a coupon. Does this sound reasonable or am I right that I am getting ripped off?
Thanks in advance.

I heard once that the Bugatti Veyron was the fastest car made, but in a quiz game the correct answer was the koenigsegg ccr, this was a recently made game too, so the answer and question must have been new, but I don't know. Which is the faster car? Correct me if I am wrong to assume the above two are the fastest, whichever one you think is faster, tell me in your answer.

I'm looking to sell my car shortly, however in the 4 years I've had it, I've become rather accustomed to having CD controls on my steering wheel! Is this something which has to be built in while the car is in production, or is it possible to pay to have it fitted in a car which doesn't have them?

Much as I'd love to buy a brand spanking new car and have it to my spec, I just can't afford to (it's about £4k beyond my budget!), so I have to buy used - but there don't seem to be many used Toyota Yaris' for sale with the CD controls on the steering wheel - probably because people like them so much and don't want to sell them! However there are a fair few for sale without the CD controls on the steering wheel, so I'm wondering if it's possible to buy one of them and have them fitted to the car.

If yes, any idea how much it would cost to do?

(I am selling a bright green new style Nissan Micra - I hate it's shape and the colour, so no suggestions of "just keep the car you have!")

I though it was common knowledge to turn on your lights while driving in fog, or rain, or at dawn and dusk. I also thought we were all taught to do this in drivers ed. I wish the cops would pull these people over and teach them a lesson before they cause a wreck and seriously injure themselves or someone else.

For about 2 years our '99 Mercury Cougar has been making a horribly loud screeching noise when trying to start. (Not every time, but often enough that it's really annoying.) I will turn the key and it will screech. I take the key out and start over; it screeches again. We've tried flipping the key around, moving the steering wheel, messing with the gear shift, everything. The car starts when it feels like it. It's never done it in front of a mechanic, but it happened in front of someone who told us it was a spring in the starter that we would need to replace or the transmission would go out. I'm at a loss. I just want to get the car fixed, but I don't know what to tell the mechanic. Please help!
