Cars & Transportation - 20 August 2007

I need to come up with my "give me this price and these terms otherwise I'm going to another dealership" figure, but I don't know what exactly a reasonable figure would be. This is my ideal proposal:

-36 mo/12k mile lease
-$0 money down
-Payoff my trade in (Galves values it at $16k, I owe $20k, Ive gotten trade-in offers as high as $18k for it)
-About a $350 a month payment

If I go to the dealership with these figures, will I get laughed out of the place or do you think they'll sign me up right there?

Why is it I prefer steam locomotives over diesel locomotives?

Why is it I've been longing for the days when there was no such thing as Amtrak, when steam locomotives ruled the rails, and there were more railroad companies than there are now? Or, am I just nostalgic?

I lost my only set of car keys so I contacted a 24 hour locksmith (it was midnight when I lost them and needed to get home) and he charged $180 to basically open the car door and make a key using the lock from my trunk... which took less than15 minutes. Was I ripped off?

Also, does anyone know how I would go about getting a genuine key (one w/ the black plastic embedded at the body of the key) and another keyless entry remote?

All responses are greatly appreciated!

i see that females get lower rates for auto insurance, is this a sexest thing or are they better drivers?all of the the females i know,every single one of them, have been in at LEAST one accident some of them more then three a accidents yet i only know one male who has had an accident. and in all the accidents ive seen just around town it seems like more often then not it was women driving! could guys ACTUaLLY have an honest gripe for a change on this?! are we being discriminated against and being made to pay higher premiums because we tend to have more money statistically?!!! or are the girls just better drivers.

i have a 98 oldsmobile intrigue that has just recently started running hot when i'm driving in the afternoon. it hasn't overheated yet but has gotten pretty close, especially when the temp outside tops 110 ( i live in az).

i do notice that when i shut off the a/c or turn the heater on, the temp goes down.

in the mornings it runs fine and the temp gauge stays right in the middle. the same goes for when i park the car in the garage then run it in the afternoon. but if i'm out longer than a few hours with it-it runs hot.

what could this be? my radiator was replaced (supposedly per the repair shop b/c my car was under warrenty) last december along with my intake madifold and gasket.

should i try flushing the radiator to see if it's clogged? i'm not noticing any leaks and i just put more dexcool in the radiator a few days ago. i DID notice some buildup in the radiator cap and along the inside lip of the radiator itself. both fans work as well.

thanks!!!

After a short trip of 70 miles it began knocking. At least, it sounds like. Along with that the coolant is leaking. Every time Overheating/Low coolant lamp is blinking, you can't really say what is wrong, because the engine is really hot, and there is no water in cooling system. I am worried about the engine. In a day I am taking the car to mechanics, but want to be a little prepared, otherwise, I will be fooled. It happens so often in SF City, CA. Can you tell me how bad the problem sounds like, and what it might be. Thank you

I bought a 1996 toyota camry and i like tinkering around maintaining the car myself. I already changed the spark polugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. I may need new brakes soon that I want to do myself. I also need a maintenance guide so I know exactly when my car needs oil changes, fluids checks, belts changed, hoses, etc.

I want to do it myself. So is the manual reliable? Or haynes?

i was recently going through some wires to my ignition. and i accidentally cut one its pink, i think its the accessory wire. anyways got some fasteners and patched the wire up, but now my radio won't work when i turn the ignition back and my gear selector and odometer lights went out too. but they work when i turn the key once, and when i turn it like i'm gonna start the vehicle they turn off, and while the vehicle runs those lights are off too. i hope its an easy fix... someone?

My uncle's car is gone! He was planning to sell it. When he went to work at 4 am the car was still there, but when I woke up which was about 8am the car was gone! I think my uncle still has the keys and he's prett sure the doors were locked. If someone stole it. How could they have done it? And I mean there were tons of other cars there that were way nicer than my uncle's car, why did they get his? Any opinions would help! Thanks.
