Buying & Selling - December 2006

I had a pretty nice SUV. I loved it because i had to drive back and forth from Iowa to ohio at least twice a mnth. than the gas prices went up. so i sold it. i was going to get a real nice car, but had student loans to pay off. So with what i made on the sale i was able to pay off a huge hunk of the loans and than i bought a dodge neon. The neon looked and drove really great. that is until i drove it yesterday in the snow. the car went all ways excpet straight. I am now looking into a newer car suv(not a big one though). One that will have pretty good trac and control and is not a gas hog. any ideas?

so i bought a car and put a $1000 deposit cash and $6000 check. the seller knew i didnt know anything about cars, but i knew the car was salvaged. i asked him why it was salvaged and he said it was because it only got scraped. but after i got it checkd by a mechanic he said it was more than a scrape. it can blow up anytime because the AC line is bent and that carries alot of pressure. so its been 5 days since i was trying to contact him with no response back. and today they just called and he said he'll return my 1000 but later on he had his sister call and she said i they are not returning the deposit money because it was a deposit. and she started threatning about shes gonna call the police and report the car stolen. she said we had the car for more than a week, and i answered its not like we were driving it, im not going to risk my life and my childrens driving that car and it's their fault they weren't answering my emails and calls. can i still get my deposit back, or not?

Like the title I bought it, test drove 4 others and needed a car with good mpg which is reliable. It seems the car is underrated and devalues alot on miles. I didn't test drive the corolla nor jetta. Has anyone driven all 3 cars and which one the liked the best. Heck, I should I just bought a focus with 40k miles for 5k, my mistake! Ive got 18k on the car so far with no problems at all ( besides drag and weak sound from the radio ), Im only getting 29 mpg, and once i hit 32 mpg. Also note this is city driving and with the a/c blowing. But i do not get better or worse mpg no matter how i drive either I floor or drive conservative same mpg. engine is surprising, it feels as much power as my 3.8l 2004 impalla, I was shocked! but anyway, please give out some suggestions whether my buy was good or not. I paid 12,000. Before taxes and such and was new. Thanks!

Why is the resell value on land rovers so depriciated.New ones go for around $35,000- to $95,000, and used ones go from $20,000 down with very little miles and very minimal damage.I was wondering if it had anything to do with the cost of general maintance and routine care.

My friend in Pheonix husband died and they have a 2006 Ridgeline that he used to drive with a clear title and about 8000 miles. They don't want to deal with placing ads in papers or online and taking calls and waiting to sell it. Is there someplace they can drive to today and sell it for cash? They live near Chandler. Thanks!

I have this great old classic 1986 Lincoln Town Car. I've run ads to sell it but haven't really got any hits. It needs work if it's going to stay in running order, which brings down the cost anyone would want to pay for it. But there is a ton of stuff on it that is worth something piece by piece (leather seats in perfect condition, for example). Is it possible for me to sell out the parts myself, or do I have to be able to take them off the car and deliver them to a shop to do that? Any advice would be helpful and very much appreciated!

Side note: Here is the ad I am currently running on craigslist just trying to trade the car for anything else. It's got pictures, so maybe someone can tell me if this looks like it's worth anything.

I bought a car 3 months from a person(propably unlicensed dealer) who bought it from auction.
Had inspection before I buy it, mechanic told everything is fine. Now engine oil light came on and mechanic found a lot sludge build up in engine and said it is not possible to clean.
I know lemon laws apply to dealer only. But is there anything I can do about the seller ? I am from Arizona are there any laws for that..
Is there anything I can do get back at this guy, even though I dont get anything back, like complaining to DMV so that somebody will be saved.
