Hello,
Sorry for this late reply but I was unable to check my e-mail until now also I have been overwhelmed by the number of emails I got from interested buyers after listing the car on Autotrader, Yahoo! Autos and Autoextra. The car is in good running condition and comes with a clear title, NOT salvage. It's a non smoker car with zero mechanical / electrical problems, no damages or accidents.
There is a reason for selling it for such a low price but it's just something personal that has nothing to do with the car's condition and I'm not willing to discuss it so please don't ask.
The only problem is that I'm currently stationed in Camp Bucca, Southern Iraq and I can't close the deal in person. I know you can't buy a car just by looking at pictures but that's why I've decided to use Yahoo Auto services. I had nobody back home that could help me with the sale so I've left the car at the Yahoo Autos Depot.
For a small fee (which I'm going to pay in case that you are serious about the

Went to mediation and came to agreement for Hubby's claims. The paper that he signed said that payment has to be made within 10 days. It's been 5 weeks now and lawyer still has NOT gotten check from insurance company. I want to light a fire under their butts to get this settlement check. But I don't want to be pushy either. Shouldn't there be some sort of penalty because they (the other party) didn't hold up their end of the agreement? I know I should be asking my attorney, I tried but I've been waiting since Wed. to hear back from him so I can talk to him personally. Why is this taking so long? And is this even legal??

Last week, my 1991 Ford Escort Stationwagon with automatic transmission was towed from a parking lot. I was not there when it was towed, so I do not know how it was towed. When I got the car back it made a loud noise when I turned the engine on (similar to like a motorcycle), and when I drive the engine is much louder than before. Does anyone know what the problem could be and how I could fix it? I tried to be as detailed as I can, as I do not know much about cars. Thanks for anyone who can help!!

My L120 Automatic has ceased mowing! I was mulching leaves, and the blades stopped spinning. Belts aren't broken and in correct positions and tensions... I moved off to a clear area, and when I push / pull the PTO button, nothing happens!

Any ideas as to what the problem is and how to fix? The Manual doesn't cover this in the trouble-shooting guide.

Thanks in Advance.

Well not my rights, but my mother in laws. She was driving and ran off the road and blew out both right tires. It was late at night and she was a few miles from a family members house so she drove the car to their house.

The next day she was able to get two tires on the car and drove it home but did say that the car pulled to the left a bit. She wants to take it to be looked at and she is covered by Progressive insurance.

Does she have the right to bring it to the repair shop of her choice? (I think the ins co asked for 2 estimates, but will they just pay for the lesser estimate of the 2?)

Does she need more than one estimate?(she drives a Lexus and wants to bring it there but the estimate is a few thousand more than the other no name place. shes not sure she wants to come out of pocket for the difference. will she have to?)

What are her rights?

I am going to pick up my car Saturday. Its a 2008 Toyota Corolla S. The standard warranty is 3 years/36,000 miles. For an extra $30 something a month I will have 10 year/100,000 mile warranty. Would it be worth it to get that? I had a Corolla before, but long ago - it was a 1992 and it was a great little car... I don't want to "waste" the money, but really if something ever did happen to the engine or transmission it would be covered.... would you get it?

My husband has found a full-sized chevy bronco that he wants to buy for our son for his first vehicle. I like the safety aspect, but I feel that a teen driving a huge vehicle is more likely to have an accident due to inexperience. I personally have always found huge vehicles intimidating and more difficult to judge distances but my husband disagrees and does not see any difference. Anyone have any information on the subject?

i am looking to get a new car, and i have looked at far to many, and they all seem to have their benefits, as well as, downsides. I live in minnesota so I am trying to get something good for all seasons, that is comfortable, safe, gets good gas mileage, and most importantly, reliability. i will put a list of the cars i have drove and am considering,for the most part they all meet my requirements, but they all have differing strengths and weaknesses. any help or insight would be appreciated. this is a tough decision for me. o yea, and i am trying to spend as little as possible,for sure under $15,000.

heres a list of what ive looked at and am interested in:
2004 subaru wrx
2001 bmw 325i
2003 cadillac deville DHS
2000 and up lexus gs300 and 400
1998 and up lexus ls400
2000 and up lexus IS 300
2002 acura mdx (
2001 and up infiniti q45
2001 and up bmw xi

manual or automatic transmission does not matter,i like them both. also,i the hardest part is deciding between luxury or performance.

I took the test here was done in 20 mins was given 100% and it didn't test me on anything that would benefit me as a driver. When i took my test in England it was an hour long, the pass rate is 45-50% and reqiuired professional lessons @$20 hr.. Is there a possible link between the fact that driving is the biggest killer of teenagers in america, over alcohol, drugs, guns etc, and the basic way we teach and test them to drive? Shouldn't the test be more comprehensive, to give them a better chance of surviving into their twenties, should we change the way we teach them in our schools? Or should we follow California and raise the age limit to learn to drive for our kids from 15/16 to 17/18?

My 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee was givng me problems, jerking at stop lights and then when the light turned green my car would have no acceleration and almost shut off. I took it to Meineke and they replaced the fuel filter, but the problem still persisted so I took it back. Then we got a fuel induction service ( I think that's what it's called) and they cleaned out my system. It was running better, but after I drove it for an hour it started to lose acceleration, but it didn't jerk this time. The check engine light came back on. The first time the code pointed to a fuel problem. Do I need to go back and get it cleaned more? Or is it something else? HELP!!!

I know gas station stickers, and what not say you are not supposed to fill your tank with the engine running (and i'm not thinking of actually doing it) but what are the odds of this actually causing a problem? couldn't a car fill up while on the move similar to how military jets do? as long as no spark found its way into the tank, or gas supply?
