I have never had a problem with the car before until last month when I ran out of oil on the motorway- the engine started smoking and making a horrible crunching noise. I just managesd to get home in that state with the car cutting out iintermittently by the end. Now the car will start but makes a horrible noise and I wouldn't fell comfortable moving it. I want to sell it but cannot be bothered to get it repared first. Is it worth anything? If so what would be a good price to go for. The Mileage is quite high I seem to remember.

I'm talking about JUST the car. Not the gas, insurance, licensing, maintence, etc. I still live with my parents so I don't have to worry about paying rent or any other expenses. I'd probably have a 10% interest rate because I am younger my bank said. I would want a 4 year loan probably or the longest I can get a used car loan for. Is there a formula or an online calculator to help figure this out for myself? Thanks!

I need a bigger vehicle, so I'm looking at vans. I've made my mind up on that aspect (really need that third row and storage space), but I'm wondering which is better, a Dodge Caravan or a Pontiac Montana, both 2006.
By better I mean, worthiness, ammenities, looks, things like this.
Anyone with any experience with these particular models have any advice, pros, cons, things to consider?
I've driven Dodge cars for over 11 yrs due to the fact that I've found them the best for comfort and ammenties for my price range, but we're kind of liking that the Montana looks more SUV-ish.
Anyway, Thanks!

What would you go with: a 2002 Mazda Protege5 with 50,000miles, or a 2001 Honda Civic EX (with aftermarket DC headers, Megan exhaust, prem. rims, and upgraded suspension and AEM Cold Air) with 77,000 miles?? Thanks!
PS. Both are 5-speed and similarly priced.

I got a ticket because of no insurance and loud exhaust on my beretta a month ago. Im going to be going to court to talk to the judge in 3 weeks but I want to sell the car and there is a guy that desperatly wants to buy it. Is there any reason why I couldn't sell the car because of the unpaid ticket?

I need a small second hand car I could still fit a car seat, pushchair and two adults in, just in case our family car packed up, would you have any suggestions with pros and cons?

I do a lot of sitting in traffic jams in the morning, so I need one easy on petrol too.

I'd love to prat about in a Smart, but they're just too small and out of my budget :(
I would say £2.5k tops.

Thanks a bunch!

So - here is what is important for me when I am buying my next car. It can be used or new. And I came down to 3 different models. What are your opinions?
I need:
4x4 drive
A truck bed with a tonneau and perhaps a shell
full crew cab with power windows (also for the rear seats!)
Safety is important (door enhancements, crash tests; rollover stability etc.).
High ground clearance and really ready to go over rough territory
Price (new around 30K; used around 18-24K)
Easy maintenance (no repairs, long warranties, long cycles for services)
So I came down to:
Toyota Tacoma, 2005, 2006 or 2007 model
Ford Eplorer sport trac 2007 model
Nissan Frontier, 2006 or 2007 model
Which one would you chose and why? Thank you

When do dealers update their prices to account for depreciation or when do prices drop for a used car?

I am selling a vehicle to a friend; they know the condition of the car because they have been borrowing it for a couple of months.
They cannot pay me outright, I'm willing to finance for them for a couple of months until they can pay off the balance. If I do this, how is the title handled? I would like to have them put the car in their name, their insurance. But if they owe, I don't think I should give them the title.

How helpful it is to actually test drive a vehicle in your decision making? Isn't it much more helpfult to look into features, safety things from different sources and then decide on the vehicle type that meet your need(also price)?
How much difference you can tell from test driving two brand new vehicles? does an user can tell any difference driving two brand new car for feww hours?

I'm on the market for a second car. My husband says that you can't get a decent used car for $4,000 or less. I think you can if you look hard enough. Am I being unrealistic?

The situation, I went to a car dealership (#1). I did not like the deal. So I went to another dealership (#2), I was not able to get the car because the dealership (#1) deals with the same bank as dealership(#2). Dealership (#1) put a hold on my name meaning I can not buy a car from a dealership that work with the same bank. What can I do? Thanks for you help.
