I am 29 and single. I desperately need a new car, since my Subaru is getting too costly to fix. I will buy a car, not lease since I plan to have New Car for the long haul.

I do not belong to a credit union, nor have I ever gotten a loan from a bank, but I do have squeaky-clean credit.

What are my options for financing a new car? More specifically, what are my BEST options? What's going to be worth it in the long-run--financing from the car co., my bank, or joining a credit union (and if so, how the heck do I join a credit union?). Borrowing money from family is NOT an option because they will screw me over--I know from the School of Hard Knocks.

Can I use my Subaru as a down payment? Can I pay tax, title and license as part of the overall package?

Thanks in advance for your insights and stories!

Ok an automotive consultant is someone who has access to all dealerships and can find you the exact car you want(good credit or bad credit). He pulls your credit (so there are no surprises) and searches for the car and does all the negotiations with the dealership so you won't have to do any haggleing; all you have to do is test drive the car and sign the contract. Does $199-$249 sound like its worth it?

I'm having my prom next year but I was wondering does anyone have any original ideas to travel to the prom, other than the usual things, like a limo.

We just bought a chevy blazer from this guy for 500 dollars. He said it didn't ren that the guy had done work to the fuel system and had crossed wires somewhere. We figured it would be a steal to buy it for 500 and fix that tiny problem and have a great new truck. well once we got it home itsturned out a bad idea. no wires were crossed. its a 2.8 L TBI. We have gone through and tried to figure out everything. Seems all areas are getting power in the voltage it calls for in the tech book. The gas is getting through everywhere but once it gets to the throttle body its not coming out. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? My boyfriend just went ahead it put it in the trading post to sell for now cause we are tired of dealing with it. Ang suggestions would be very helpful

I have a hissing noise coming from the rear of my car. I have narrowed it down to something that has to do with the fuel tank. It only hisses when the car is on and I only notice performance issues with the car when the fuel tank is less than half full. When the tank is less than half full, you cannot step on the gas peddle to fast or the car acts like it is going to stall. My check engine light did come on a few days ago. I went and had it looked at but the code for the car said it was the gas cap. I want to know if anyone knows what it might be and how much it might cost to fix.

I have a car with a lot of mechanical issues (2002 Olds, Alero with 104,393 miles on it). Have already spent over $2000 this year in repairs and want to get rid of it, however I would rather sell it than surrender it to bank if possible. Only issue is that I doubt I can get what I owe for it (less than $3000). Is there a way I can sell it with balance owed or bank lien on it and pay off balance myself?

When I have my AC off or on a low setting, my 95 Camry starts to overheat. It drives fine, but I am weary about taking a 3 hour trip in a couple of days if this could be a big problem.
