They said my timing belt is very worn out and I've actually already passed the 7yr(105K) mark and an immediate attention is required. They gave me an estimate and I'm wondering if this estimate is average for replacing a t-belt...

My car keeps shutting down randomly where I cant start it up w/o a jump start. One time I got it tested at Kragens and they said the battery and alternator were ok. While trying to start it up, the guy tapped my starter and it fired up. But sometimes it still shuts down and doesnt start w/o a jump start. I dont think its the starter because Jump starting the car doesnt have anything to do with the starter. Btw, the car is a 91 toyota camry. What could be the problem?

Please don't give me any other cars these are the 3 brands Im sticking with. Thanks

I went to a garage here locally and they want to charge me 950.00 dollars, and when I looked the parts up they were all under 20.00 so I'm kind of worried that I am getting ripped off!

I saw on this forum that a guy was charging people $1 and he would check a vehicle through his carfax account for you. can he legally do this? I mean cant he get in trouble for that? I mean no one on the forum thought it was weired but i found kinda strange so i thought i would ask.

Thanks.

I'm looking into used Porsche Boxsters and 911's/Carrera's and have found plenty used ones from 2000 - 2005 for under 35k.
What are the pro's and con's about the different models - being used and not the latest ones?
How many miles should they have as a maximum?
How should I go at buying the car, should I have someone inspect it first, who is from an objective and reliable company (If so, who do you suggest?)?
Which website do you suggest to look for the car? (I'm at cars.com and ebay.com)

I'm happy to hear any other tips and tricks!

Constructive answers only, please!

Thanks a lot!
