Car Makes - September 2007

I was wondering what my 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera is worth?

It has a 3.2 liter, 6 cyl engine. 60k miles. "Good" condition (paint, interior & mechanics). The car is primarily driven on the weekends (kept covered inside a garage in Virginia).

I'm just not sure whether I want to keep it long-term or not. Its nearly paid off, but insurance, maintenance and parking costs have me weighing my options.

Also, should I expect the value to escalate once it becomes an antique (25 yrs old)? Should I get antique plates and antque insurance in that case?

by the way...I truly love this car. not many people get to buy their dream car at age 23...but eventually I'm sure I will have more important things to spend my money on...like a house. :)
thanks for the input.

i just recently bought a new 07 prius and im not getting 50 or 60mpg like toyota advertises. I drive really really conservatively, (if you drove behind me you would over take me and flip me off and youll be really pissed cuz i accelerate really slowly) even then i only get like 45mpg. I dont drive faster than 65 mph on the freeway either. and for the most part i dont have the ac on. How much mph are you guys getting? and i heard some ppl r suing toyota for this. can i do that? i spent a lot of money for this and im really dissapointed.

Yet another Explorer question. Please note: this has only happened twice. It only happens upon inserting the key into the ignition w/o cranking. It has happened before and after the cruise control recall. The smoke comes out of the hazard lights button (surrounding hole) and the cruise control stick (surrounding hole). HELP!!!!! Akins Ford in Winder, GA says it's unrelated to the recall. I've heard it's the multifunction switch. Thoughts?

Afer doing extensive research on many cars I finally found the one I want. Ok guys I really want a newer model Audi A6 3.2 Quattro. Everyone has there dream car, this is mine. I work hard and hardly spoil myself, I always put everyone else infront of me. I really want a pre-owned certified used 2005 Audi A6 3.2 Quattro with atleast 30,000 miles on it, because I can't spend that much.

What advice would you give me to not get overpriced for a used Audi, and how much would a used Audi cost with around 30,000 miles on it?

Also how much would insurance be, like give me a close number to your knowledge.

Any general tips on financing, extended warranties, insurance cost, please I would really appreciate. Thank You!! I was thinking of a BMW but I like the Audi's better.

I had this problem last winter (when I tend to use the heater the most!), and never addressed it. Now that winter is coming up, I figured I should probably have the problem fixed. Whenever I have the heater running in my 2003 Jeep Liberty, the blowing air is hot only when I'm accelerating. If I have the car in park, or if I am idling in traffic/stop light, etc., the air gets cold almost immediately. Now, I'm no expert, but I always thought heat was drawn from the engine, thereby making the air a little hotter when idling - not freezing cold. Could it be something simple like a fuse, or something that my somewhat-handy husband could fix? Or might it be a bigger problem that will require professional servicing? On the most frigid of Denver mornings last year when I was desperate to regain sensation in my hands and feet, I actually had to throw the car in neutral and gently push the accellerator when I was sitting in traffic - which I'm sure is not entirely healthy for the car.

I just bought a 2005 Maxima, and the remote, the one that locks, unlocks, sets my alarm off, is not programmed for my car. The dealership wants $50 to do it and a friend told me its so easy, and he did his cars remote himself(he has a Honda tho)...Anyone know how I can do it?

We have a 2000 Dodge and from what we are told the front main bearing in the transmission is going bad. I order the part but the guy who was suppose to do it for us has backed out. My husband thinks he can do but I don't find any infomation to help him out. Any info would be great.

Sometimes when I start the engine nothing will happen, just a little "click", as if the battery were dead. However, the needles in the dashboard flicker simultaneously , crazy...The car will start easily after I release my frustration by kicking the break padle and beating up the gear shifter...Lately it started to doing all the above while I'm driving, very scary...
Mechanics at a Jeep dealership told me they can't find anything wrong in the dash board, they would have to actually see when it happens, until then...nothing can be done!
I'm worried that the short might affect the power steering or power breaking?!
Has anybody ever experienced anything like this and how could you solve the matter?

Have a 92 Camry with a Standard Trans, great commuter car, averages about 35 to 37 mpg (over 500 miles on a road trip per 15 gals of gas). Purchased it used about 8 months ago. Almost sounds like something is loose under the car and hitting the undercarriage. Usually get the noise when hitting a bump or dip in the road and sometimes that sounds close to a front shock but occasionally sounds like it's directly below the stick shift.

The two noises may be unrelated and suspect that the front shocks may have to be replaced in addition to installing a clutch kit. Also, the clutch is already suspect. Have the Haynes repair manual and will look into it.

Question: Would it be advisable to try to repair the clutch myself or better to pay someone? If I should repair it, any recommendations on a manufacturer of clutch kit? Should I replace the shocks first?

No trailer park would be complete without an old camaro. Likewise, most younger folk with Mustangs seem to think they are the fastest and best built muscle/race car ever (even if it only has a 4- or 6-cylinder engine in it!). Let's settle this right now!!
