Car Makes - September 2007

i've been looking for a cheap car. cheap but that will last me a few years. My friend offered to sell me her mazda protege 1999. it's got 120,000. she would sell it for 2,000. it's got a new alternatoer but will soon need new struts.
I've always had hondas or toyotas. are mazdas good cars? 120,000 sounds like a lot ut my other cars lived well past that. could the mazda do the same.

It has 100,000 miles on it. The dealer is telling me it's a great car. I don't know anything about the Ford Contour.

I bought an Altima coupe and I do indeed love it, but my car has had way too many problems in 3 weeks. I had the dashboard break on my twice (still broken, they didnt fix it yet) and during that time period, I was not able to use my speedometer either (mph bar stayed at 0). Obviously.. my car had some issues. I was actually offered a brand new coupe with a v6 engine from another nissan dealer, in exchange for mine and some money. I paid aprox. 31k for the total including warrnties, tax, and I financed. I found out I got a pretty bad APR (8.9%) for such good credit (over 700). The other dealer said I may be losing some money by trading the coupe in.. but it would be made up for because I would be getting 1.2% APR from this dealer. I was also told that I have the right to return my vehicle because it already had 2 problems that endangered me as a driver (because I could not see how many mph I was at) and also 1 minor problem with the tires. What are my options. I am seriously not pleased

Ok, so my moms volvo has no key locks on the out side to unlock the doors. It's a 2005, you use the key fob to unlock the doors. problem is my mom has locked her keys inside the car and there is not a second set. AAA come out and they can not open the door because of how it is designed. nothing a lock smith can do and the dealer can't send anyone out until friday. Is there any other solution other then breaking the window to get in to this car? Sometimes wish volvo had something like on-star for cars like this. HELP!

K I get evrythin else xcept the part where it says "The Eclipse comes standard with..." What does standard mean??? Is this car the 1 with the gear that just has D,R,N or the 1 with the stick. Please help I'm clueless with cars. Here's the excerpt...

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is a fun, sporty, top-down tourer. It offers all the pleasures of open-air motoring with few of the displeasures.

The Eclipse Spyder is a two-door, four-seat roadster based on the latest Eclipse coupe. It comes in two trim levels: GS and GT. The GS has a 162-hp four-cylinder engine mated to a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The GT has a 260-hp 3.8-liter V6 mated to a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. The Eclipse comes standard with front airbags, front side-impact airbags and front-seat side curtain airbags. The standard antilock brakes feature Electronic Brake-force Distribution, which balances front-rear brake application in emergency stops.

I have a set of 13 inch wheels that fit fine on 92 civic cx. I have a 2001 Nissan sentra gxe with 14 x 6 steel rims on which I would like to place these 13 x 5 inch wheels with winter tires for the season since they are narrower, they will cut through snow better. I know they have the same bolt pattern, but will they clear the brakes? Also, lug size is 12mm x 1.5 for the ones off the civic, the ones currently on the sentra are 12 mm x 1.25 lug size, does this matter?

My friend just called me up, and he said he just got his ball joints replaced on a '91 960. About 15 minutes after he got out of the dealer, the car makes a "KRRRRR" noise when he turns the wheel, even in park. If you guys could help me out with this, it'd be great. Thanks in advance.

Please be specific, I dont care if they are original or aftermarket, they just need to be new.

Please give a direct link if possible, and please make sure that if you find something on ebay, that they are the actual headlights, and not just the halo part.

Thanks :-D

I was wondering if a Eaton M112 Supercharger setup from a 2003 cobra fit on a 2002 Mustang Gt. will it just bolt right onto the block? Is the blocks different from the 4v cobra engine to the 2v gt or is that just different heads? will the supercharger fit on the gt? if not could I modify it to make it fit? I am a machinist so I could do just about anything to it. Thanks

I'm about to buy my first car. I will put $6,000 down-payment but before I do this I want to make sure that the Prius is worth buying.

1) Does it really save you gas? Is it worth it?
2) When you drive it does it feel comfortable?
3) Does it break down often?
4) Have you had problems with the battery?
5) Is the car nice to drive?
6) Is it roomy?
7) Do you love it?

90% of my driving is on the interstate or highway. I put in premium lines and the spark plugs as well as changed the cap and rotor. I recently got a new catalytic converter and added a high flow muffler. I have a K&N air filter as well.

Thanks to you helpful people, I have bought a new thermostat for my car and I'm going to try replacing that to see if it solves the overheating problem in my car.

So...how do I get the old thermostat out? It is stuck in there pretty tight...do I grab it with a pliers and pull forcefully, or pry it with a screwdriver, or...?

Thanks for your help...please advise ASAP as I have a job interview I need to get to if possible, and this is my only vehicle...

I turn the key and nothing happens. The battery is fully charged (I had a trickle charger on it for 24 hours). I checked all the fuses (even the ones under the hood) and they are all ok. I tapped on the starter while someone turned the key (nothing). AT A LOSS. HELP

I bought a 1998 Infiniti I30 arround May 2007 a little after two months the AIR BAG LIGHT came on. I did some research about it on line and I found a forum discussing the subject where more Infiniti owners where complaining about the same. There was a procedure on line to follow if your car did that. The procedure was to turn off the engine triger the door switch and turn on engine. It worked it turned the light off. But my question is what will happen if I was in a accident? And is it really the air bag or just a sensor? I mean alot of owners were complaining about the same. Can all of them have bad air bags?
