I am going to hide a nice cd and changer in a console in the used Jeep I just bought. It has a factory installed am/fm tape deck. A friend said that if I was going to go through the trouble of hiding the cd player I should find a factory am/fm radio to put in the dash. But I really don't think that anyone would steal a 13 year old am/fm factory tape deck would they? I mean who uses tapes anymore? People mostly steal radios to sell to pawn shops or friends... and I don't think that anyone is going to pay much for a crappy old radio vs. the possible trouble of trying to steal it. I know that someone somewhere will steal anything, but I just don't think that the chances are very high that someone will risk stealing a junky old radio. Any radio thieves here? Would you steal a crappy old tape deck?

So I checked out this 1996 Grand Am today, and I like it a lot, but I'm wondering if the price is too high..the car is 3,000$ and he said that he won't accept any less than that because he bought it for 2,600$ and is putting AC in it.

I had a friend check the engine and stuff, and he said that it was ok...I'm going on Monday to test drive it to see if it drives okay. The previous owner was an older lady who purchased it in 2005, the car has 115,XXX miles.

He will accept payments, he wants a couple hundred down and about 50$ every two weeks. Although he said the interest will be 16%, is this bad?

Soo from the above information, can you tell me if the car is worth 3K? Thanks

Does one even need a high efficiency oil filter for the car? If an OEM filter is rated at 40um (for example) how many hundreds of thousands of miles would a high efficiency filter gain? (rated at 15um? for example)

I ripped a lug nut in half on my 84 Camaro Z28 with a torque bar. The nut is torn up terribly and then my shop teacher suggested putting an air hammer to it to try to get it off so I did and now there's nothing to grab at all on it. I'm thinking that my only option is to destroy the rim by putting a cetaline torch or plasma cutter to it. Is there any other option for me unfortunately I don't think there is.

My husband rides a bike and is looking for straps to clip onto his jeans and around his boot to keep his jeans from flapping. Does anyone know what these are called or where to get them?

transmission to wheel interface.?

How difficult of a job is it ?

How likely will they try to rip me off and say other things are wrong with it?

What else goes bad when this part is defective ?

I am looking at purchasing a used white 2002 hyundai accent GL, a 4 door sedan. I'm not sure whether its manual or automatic. It is only $2995 and it has 40,531 miles on it. How reliable and safe is this car? I'm 16 and it would be my first car but my parents won't let me get a car that I will have to fix up often and is not safe. My mom is insisting that hyundais are not good cars but she does not know much about them. Any personal experience advice or any information would be helpful.

Thanks!

I bought a used car 2 weeks ago and am looking to sell it (long story). The title is in the original owners name as I haven't had time to title it myself yet. Can I sell this car to a private buyer or do I need to title it in my own name first? I do own the car outright and there are no liens on it. The title is clear, it's just not in my name.

Or do you have to request it separate.

I know that I definitely need an wheel alignment, but I think I need a tire rotation too, so will they do a tire rotation and alignment @ the same time so I can save time and money?

Also how important is a tire rotation?

The cost for the part was $266.88. Does that sound like a reasonable price for the part alone?

I took my car car to the cadillac dealer with an oil leak, and they said it was the valve cover gaskets which i had fixed and it was about $1000. It did not fix the oil leak. I then took it back and then they said it was the head gasket and said it would be $3300.
