Im in the process of purchasing a car right now. Im looking for a lifted truck/pre-runner. Anyways i came across a F-150 with a 4.2 v6 engine with 75,000 miles on it. Its going for 10500 but kelly blue book has the car at only 8300. I believe i can talk it down, but i was wondering if you think 75,000 miles is too much. I dont want to buy a car and have to put out money every month fixing it. Im a college student and those couple thosand i will be paying for it is alot already. I know american cars are not known to be as reliable. My dad had a ford tauras and it transmission problems and broke down around 80,000 miles. I also heard Fords are notorious for Transmission problems. I really want a F-150 or a tacoma but have not yet come across a tacoma i like. I know they are reliable cars. My brother has one and its at 179,457 miles and it runs like a champ. Im just curious how well fords holds up. Thanks

Is it worth it to buy a 1993 Tercel car for Can$7,100 (US$6,300)? It has no collision records whatsoever and its mileage is 150,000km. It has no A/C, its breaks in front and rear are 60% and 50%, no airbag, has 2 doors and seats 5 passengers and its exterior and interior condition (looks wise) seem satisfactory. Is it a good buy?

How do I know if my car title is clean or salvaged? The car has been in an accident where someone hit me and it needed body work but nothing as far as engine or transmission has ever been damaged. I am trying to sell it and everyone wants to know if the title is clean or salvaged. I honestly don't know. Is this something I would know if it was listed as salvaged? If not, how do I find out?

Ok, my mom totaled her car a few weeks ago so she has to get a new one.
With the new one, she is not allowed to drive it so the car is really mine.
Anyway, we found a 1995 Dodge Neon for 1000 dollars. Is it worth it? The car is a really pretty blue color.

But our grandpa does not want us to get it. He wants to buy her a car.
If he does buy us a car, I was considering a 2001 Ford Focus for 3995 dollars. Or a 2000 Dodge Neon for the same price.

Is the Ford Focus or 2000 Dodge Neon better than the cheaper older Neon? Even though it is more expensive. But it is not that much more expensive.

If my mom gets the 1995 Dodge Neon, she is buying it tomorrow so we need to make the decision fast. Or should we wait for my grandpa to buy her a car? If we buy it, we save him 3000 dollars or more.

I used to hear radio commercials for dealerships (namely Hyundai and Kia) who offered a minimum trade-in value for used cars (usually $3,000). I don't listen to the radio any more, and I can't remember who offered this. I need a dealership in the Dallas/Ft Worth area who will guarantee a $3,000 minimum trade-in on an old car.

Last year around August i had bought a 83 supra taht only had 70,000 miles on it for $600. A month after i bought it a group o men and women somehow broke into it ( i parked it along the side walk in front of the condo where i live) and stole it. I got home the night before it ahd happened about 8pm and when i got up to go to work it was gone!! I was so angry!! Anyway- i called the police and resume to what i was gonna do. I got picked up by a family member and taken to work. While at work- i got a call from the police that they had found my car. They had arrested 2 women with it about 15 miles from where i live. They confiscated teh car an took it to a towing co. yard. After work i had to go to the station to file robbery or whatever those people could get prosecuted. When i got teh car from the towing place i had to pay $130 to take it out plus it was full of a bunch of cosntruction tools, a cealing fan, landscape tools along with a key chain fumm of at least 100 keys fro

I'm looking at a 98 Lexus GS300 which is on the above link. The dealer says it had "slight frame repair" but there is no record of accident or salvage title on CARFAX. Would it be possible to somehow sell a car with a clean title that would normally have a salvage or rebuilt title? Is this a red flag or is it okay to buy cars with frame repair? I was thinking of taking it into to a mechanic who specializes in alignment and frame repair.

I bought a 99 honda accord V^ last year in Novermber froma dealer. I feel like they screwed me over becuase it already had 127,000 miles on it and got it for $9,500 plust tad plus interes. Befroe i even came to this dealer i went to several others. Because my credit score was really bad nobody would qualify me but the creditor i got. So- theygave it to me with 23% interest. According to tehm- my balance is $8,000 since last year it has barely gone down cuz interest is so high. If i decide to send a $3,000 payment in JAN and $2,0000 in April- what would happen next?? obviously the balace is gonna go down but- if i decide to pay it off before the year is over will i still have to pay the interest? is there a early payment penalty?
