Cars & Transportation - 25 October 2007

I am leasing a car right now, it's under my husbands name because my credit wasn't as good and it brought my payments down, I want to put it in my name now.
What can I expect....?
My credit is really not that good by the way.
Will the car dealer try to put me in a different car within my price-line?

A friend of mine who is away at school with me (200 miles from home) said he gets reduced insurance because he is away at school without a car. However, he is always driving his girlfriends car. He claims that its OK for him to do this.

This sounds a little fishy to me. He is getting the discount because his insurance company thinks he isn't driving, right? If he wrecks his girlfriends car is he covered? I am worried about being in the car with him. I don't want anything defaulted onto my insurance in the case of an accident if its just him and I in the girlfriend's car.

Let me know what you guys think!

I posted a question here about this once before. But now I have what the codes were for the light and why it is still sputtering. Auto Zone said the codes were- 1- #4 cylender misfire (I had the plugs & plug wired changed) could that be just a bad plug or wire that may have been bad when they were bought? 2- A clutch torque? Something about preventing my car from going into overdrive properly and that it affects my proffiency.

I found out that the valude on my car according to Keylly Blue Book and NADA is about $8,000, but people keep telling me that I won't get that much when I go to trade it in. So, how do they determine the trade in value?

How much profit does a car dealer make on a used car, I recently bought a car for 5500 that was priced at 7500 less than a year ago, I put less than 8000 miles on and I asked what would be the price if I traded it in and they said 1800 are they just cheaters

Mine is missing off the front and if it's not illegal in CT to have no license plate on the front of the car then I won't bother, does anyone know?

This is prolly a dumb question but I was told that I need all 3 motor mounts replaced. I am trying to find prices but I don't know the name of all of them or what I would ask. Most places just say one price or some say it says 3 are listed but we only have 2. So I figure if I know the names it will help. One place said I need my left rear engine mount but when I look that up it says left front but no rear. So I am a little confussed. If anyone can tell me what they are called it would help. I was told one place I need all three then the other place only listed lower front mount and left rear engine mount. Thanks.

I have a 2001 jeep GC and the brake light does not work. My signal lights work and when backing up the light works fine. I've changed the bulb and even bought a new bulb holder because the old one had some corrosion and i have the same problem. Any ideas what could be the problem. Will i have to replace the entire lighting fixture to fix the problem?

My 1993 Buick Century was stolen the other day. It was recovered and towed. We went to pick it up at the tow yard, just to find that it wouldn't start. The little bastards had ripped the plastic off that was covering the steering column. The wires are all exposed and screwed up. The car won't go into park. It won't start with the keys. Apparently it can start with a screwdriver but we don't know how to do that. We tried to start it with the screw driver but we couldn't and now the power won't turn off. We're going to have to tow it to a mechanic but we have a limited supply of funds... Does anyone know what something like this might cost to repair??? Please... any opinions are greatly appreciated.....

I have just recently passed my driving test at the tender age of 32 and finding that I keep making stupid mistakes like stalling or selecting the wrong gear etc. I am staying local to my home but still going far enough to drive on different roads, junctions, crossroads, and roundabouts. I have taken an unhealthy dislike to right turns I am not avoiding them but if I know, I can go a slightly different route and avoid busy right turns I find myself doing this. Is this normal behaviour with all new drivers? As obviously the real learning has just began now I have passed. I also have to get use to a new car, as the one I used for my lessons was the instructor’s car. I would appreciate any tips, advice that any of you experienced drivers can offer.

I'm looking at buying the new G6 GXP Sedan. MSRP of a little over $27,000.00. 3 year lease, $367.00 a month!!

I live in Michigan, and around the metro detroit area, only 1 dealership has these new cars. I know that I can afford that price right now. But do I really want to afford it? Where will I be in a year? 6 months? Who knows?? Is that price for that car really worth it?

I recently bought a classic 1989 mini city as my first car (yay go me) and i was driving her today and i think the handbrake and the clutch need doing, at times it is very hard to put into gear even wen my foot is flat to the floor on the clutch pedal? i also find it hard to get it out of reverse and need to turn off the engine to get it out. the car also stalls even if my foot is still pressing clutch wen i'm finding the cars bite?

Before this i noticed the handbrake was weak as the car always rolls even if im not pressing on the accelerate wen it is on reverse and also rolls on hill starts if i take my foot off the brake... if that makes sence??


how much would it cost roughly to fix these problems?? to expensive for a christmas present lol?

My wife and I were in a car accident. We are getting awarded some money from the insurance company. The Law Firm we went through have had the check for almost a week now and keep telling me they are waiting for the check to clear..then they take there cut and write us a check for ours. Well I feel like they are stalling us for some reason. How long on average does it take for an $18,000 check to clear the bank?
