Thanks for the help. My problem is the car is dead. Right now it is of no value to me except as a tax write off.

Has anyone used caralternative.com? For a fee they will tow and sell the car at auction, almost like donating to a charity.

Again, thank you.

There are a couple of good suggestions along those lines in our topic called Finding a Salvage Yard. Someone had a similar question recently, so you might pop in there.

I'm looking to spend $5000 on a used SUV. I would like to get a student loan so that I can make payments after I graduate. Where can I get a student auto loan, what are the best rates, and is this the right way to finance given my situation? I'm a sophomore at a university.

tidester

Financing, first time buyers & interest rates and Used Vehicle Financing: What Rate Can I Get? are good places to start. You may also be interested in How/With who should I finance?.

Edmonds would est trade value at $5K in a private sale before this issue. Have no idea of $$ value for scrap. Can should this car be repaired? Any / all input welcomed!

Blown head gasket. How do I figure out an amount to sell for parts? Besides a current Previa owner, who else might want to buy it? :sick:

Thanks!!

stever

One of the Sienna owners may have a suggestion - try asking for help in the Toyota Sienna Owners: Meet the Members discussion.

You can Appraise it using the "damaged" condition option to get a ballpark for selling the entire van to a salvage yard. Check out the Help! Repairs cost more than the car is worth!! discussion for more ideas.

My 05 Escape just recently came out of warranty, now has 42,000 miles on it. At about 35,000 it started making a noise and the dealership told me it was the tires. The noise has gotten progressively worse and now I am being told that all 3 wheel bearings in front must be replaced at a considerable cost to me. Has anyone else had problems with the wheel bearings and how did Ford handle it if you did?

You can get feedback from other Escape owners in Ford Escape.

I've had my Prius for only 370 miles and am disappointed in the mpg. I'm averaging about 37 mpg. I read that others are averaging over 50 mpg. I do short suburban trips. The battery never gets fully charged and the gas engine runs almost continuously. As I live in Florida, the AC is on constantly. Could this be a cause of the low mpg?

We have a problem with wind noise around the front door/ window seals of our 07 cobalt LT...Our dealer has looked at it twice but cant seem to fix the problem correctly.
I was wondering if any body else has experienced a similar problem.

stever

Try asking in one of the discussions in the Chevrolet Cobalt group.

gmilton11

had the same issue with my daughters car - 1998 - fixed for 2500 but I will use the car for my other two 15 and 16 so expect to get 3-4 more years use as a "training wheels" other than that now runs great btw your dealer's prices are right on and you should be glad he's willing to take a look at fixing the head in lieu of a straight swap out with a pre-built one.

I have read Confessions of a Car Salesmen several times at different spots over the years. Just curious what year it was written?

tidester

I believe it was written in 2003 but I'll have to dig a little deeper to find a citation.

This link says it dates back to sometime in the fall of 2000, but it doesn't show up on the Internet Wayback Machine until late 2000 - one page shows a 1-24-01 date on it. (link)

Does anyone have any ideas on what some good options are for cars/trucks that are sleepable for 2 adults. I'm looking at pickups, mostly the Tacoma, but was curious if anyone has any experience sleeping in different types of vehicles? I would like to find something smaller than the Tacoma that is sleepable but don't know if this is possible.

get an el camino, the front is like a car, the back is like a truck. its the perfect car/truck

Has anyone ever heard of API Insurance? And I will never ever by extended warranty ever again. Is the dealer liable for a guarantee price refund? Please help. Debilyn

I have 1993 lincoln Conttinental. It had no problems until today. After I sterted the car, I can't shift outfrom "Park"
to any gear. Could this be a problem with brake sensor or is it something major with transnisiion. Until this, the transmission was very smooth.

stever

I'd post in the Transmission Traumas? discussion.

bought a 2004 nissan quest on sunday 5/13/07. Noticed right away that dvd player spits out the dvd. it only works sometimes. Took it back 3x asking them to fix it. still not fixed. What are my rights?

stever

Try posting in the Purchasing Used Vehicles discussion. Include a bit more info, like where you bought it (I'm guessing a dealer since you are able to take it back over and over) and what state you are in and what guarantee, if any, came with the Quest.

I plan on applying for a car loan in the next week. I have three credit cards and I scheduled payments for all three on Monday. Two of them will have zero balances and the third will have $1800 balance. Should I wait until these payments go through before applying for an auto loan from capital one auto? Or will my fico scores/credit report not be updated fast enough for it to matter?

KCRam

Great discussion for you is Credit Scores and Vehicle Financing. I will add that, no, you will not see a credit report update quick enough - they are generally done once a month.

Just bought a used 2001 Audi A6 Avant with 78,000 miles on it. It has 4 new tires, acc drive belt, brakes, and battery. The car looks new inside and out, but I have some concerns after reading other posts. The engine is smooth and everything seems to work except I'm concerned about a slight vibration when I drive above 60 mph. It seems to be coming from the front end. Any suggestions as to whether it is an alignment issue or do the tires need to balanced differently? Could it be a front end issue? Also, when does the timing belt need to be replaced and what is the average cost of doing this?

tidester

I take it you were reading the messages in Audi A6 which would be a good place to post your question. You could also try Audi A6 Maintenance and Repair.
