Is $1000 for a 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight with 275,000 miles a good asking price for it?

The car has had new parts installed on the engine, too. No other mechanical issues.

Would you pay this much for it?

How many more miles could the next driver get out of it?

I have a 1971 Plymouth Duster -- slant 6, one barrel carburetor.

It runs well, but occassionally, (at least in the last day) when I slow down or stop the engine dies. It restarts, but I have to put it in neutral and gun it to keep the engine running. Then the problem sometimes goes away, but will return.

What is wrong? Thanks for your help in advance.

have been having problems with my car. It's a 1995 Chevrolet Camaro v6, 3.4. It has almost 150,000 miles on it. Lately when I have been driving my car it seems to idle a lot, and when I go to press the gas it's like it doesn't want to go. The temperature control goes from 160 up to the next line. When I'm at a stop sign it will act like it wants to keep going and jerks some. It also I think backfires some. When I get home and turn the car off it makes a sound like the engine was heated or something. And sometimes smells like gas when I get out. We put a new filter on thinking it was that but it wasn't. I heard it was my fuel infector. The check engine light comes off and on all of the time. Also, black smoke comes out of the pipe in the back. Anyone have any tips??

I put a new battery (correct one) in my car 4 months ago and it ran fine. I haven't started it for 4 months and when I tried today it wouldn't start. All lights and indicators appear fine, but when I try to start it only makes a light whirring sound and does not even make the sound like it is trying to kick over. I'm sure this has something to do with the fact that I have not used it in 4 months. Any help?

I have seen certain vehicles marked with this type of fuel. Is it new? When did it come to the market? What's the benefit? Answers are appreciated!

my mechanic seems lovely but i just want to check, I took my motor in this morning as the exhaust was obviously blown. he's told me that the down pipe is save-able with a bit of patching but the catcon needs replacing. the catcon is £171 and with a couple of patch repairs he reckons the total should be £270.
does that sound about right? for a car that cost me £450 it seems a bit steep!
thanks.

For a day or so my car had been acting really weird. Whenever I went to hit the gas pedal, my ceiling light and the no seatbelt warning light would come on; then when I would let go of the pedal, they would turn back off. This happened all of yesterday. I knew I needed to get the car checked out, but I had to take my mom to work and just wasn't able to drop it off anywhere. Tonight I went to pick her up and all of a sudden the speedometer goes crazy (meanwhile the previous problem persists) and the car loses all power and shuts down. From there, I couldn't get it started again. The headlights were bright as were the lights in the car, but the radio and windshield wipers didn't work. When I try to start the car it does absolutely nothing except occasionally make a clicking sound. What could the problem be?
Thanks a lot!

we have replaced the computer with a brand new one had the vin flashed etc., had electrical harness checked etc. car still just shuts off. have replaced transmission recently. rechecked by shop to verify that their work didn't cause it. the old computer wouldnt communicate at all.replaced it then it still would not work. mechanics decided to reinstall original transmission control module because we had also replaced it with a used one recently. now computer does communicate but mechanics said to replace the transmission control relay(i believe that is what it was called) replaced that still having problems. any other ideas out there? fyi -- the gas gauge started acting wacky prior to these problems and eventually stopped working. related?

i had an accitent and need to replace my front bumper, headlights, fenders, and hood. the body shop told me it would cost about $2000 more to use USED OEM parts than aftermarket parts. is it worth it spending the extra money (i have to pay not insurance) to use original parts or are aftermarket parts also just as good?
