CX-7 2WD Grand Touring w/ Moon/6CD :$26,828
I'm leaning toward the 1st quote with the technology package. Also, for those of you owning, are you having any issues with your car? I keep reading about electrical problems (gas cap and such). This makes me a bit nervous to purchase a 1st year model.
I recently bought a 2004 Yukon XL SLT with 17,900 miles. I think I got a pretty good deal on it but I am concerned with the mileage:engine hours ratio. At 17,900 the engine hours read 744, which gives you an average of 24 MPH. I don't know if there is such a thing as and national average but 24 MHP seems pretty low. The deal went fairly easy and the car was priced at least a couple thousand less than others with comparable stats. I know it's tough to screw with the odometer but something bugs me about this car. Runs good, smells good and I love the vehicle. I suppose that if I didn't have the hour meter it would not have occurred to me. Any comments please.
I am in Louisiana where taxes are paid monthly on the Lease payment. If I have a trade-in of approx $15,000 (owe about $13000), normally that is deducted from the tax that I have to pay on the car when doing traditional financing. This gives consumers the opportunity to not be taxed twice. For example, say I purchase a vehicle for $29,000, I will only have to pay tax on $14,000 since my trade value was worth $15,000.

a 2000 Tundra and have had a problem twice that nobody can come up with an explanation. My brake light fades on then off then fades on again,it stays lit the vehicle will stall and immeadiately the starter will try to engage itself and even when the vehicle is running it will try to engage as if you were starting the vehicle while it was running. Any help will be grateful.

It seems like cannot get any assistance, so I am going to try here. I'm looking at trading my 02 Navi for a 04 Ultimate that is loaded. The value of the 04 is $34,580 that has 33,000 miles They are going to sell the Nav for $31,451 after taxes. They are only giving me $13,000 for my 02 that has 72125 miles. I was trying to get them to bring the price down. Do anyone of you think I can get the price of the vehicle lower or my trade-in higher? Thank you!
I currently have an '86 BMW 325, but so far it cost me about double the price I paid for the car in repairs. So I am now in the market for a newer and, preferably, more reliable car. But unfortunately I cannot seem to find just the right one, so I was hoping some of you may have ideas of what make/model I should look at. I want a 6cyl small to mid-sized coupe or sedan with a manual transmission under (approximately) 7000USD. The Audi A4 1996 which goes for 4000-7000 from what I've found seems to be a good choice, but I read multiple complaints about its reliability. Could you suggest a reliable (or at least somewhat reliable) vehicle that would fit the above specifications (under 7000 is one of them)?
One place you could start is in the Used Reliable Luxury < $7k discussion. You might also use the Browse By Vehicle search on the left side of the page to look up more discussions on the A4 and other vehicles which interest you.
I'm trying to install the front bumper on a 97 Dodge Ram 1500 but I'm not sure how many bolts hold it on. I have the bumper, brackets and a mess of bolts. Has anyone installed one before. I need help. Dirty_Steve
It will cause many $$ worth of damage. Make them flush it completely, they have a machine for just that, and when all traces of the motor oil are removed, fill with the proper fluid.
Stop by the Dodge Ram group and see whether any of the topics match your issue. If not, click the "Add a Discussion" link there and pose your question. Usually other owners will jump in and offer advice.
I have no clue as to where to look for this question. Can anyone tell me if the rims of a1993 olds achieva are interchangeable with a 1999 cavalier? Thanks. Dan
Try the Breathe Easy: Int. & Exh. Headers + Mufflers and Pipes discussion or search for your specific make and model in the Browse By Vehicle search in the left sidebar and choose a discussion in one of those groups.
I was recently rearended. The person told me to get any estimate I wanted, that she would pay the bill. I got two estimates: One was for $2400 and the other is for $2800. My car will be in the shop for at least a week. I gave the person the $2800 estimate and she gave me a check. Is it now unethical to go to the $2400 repair place?
I'm justifying it because she didn't offer to pay for a rental car and this is really going to put my wife and I out with only one car. Plus the damage devalued my car. What would you do?
Recently, I had an issue with my wipers not working. After checking under the cowl, I found the linkage from the wiper motor was off. I replaced the linkage and retimed the wiper blades for proper position. They work correctly when they are turned on, however, when you turn them off, they will not return to the "park" position at the cowl. They stop midway on the windsheild. Help!!
I dont have heat.. it blows luke warm. I have replaced the thermastat,both lines coming form heatercore are warm, I checked the coolant level. What else could it be?
Help - Do I buy a 2007 Pilot or 2007 Nitro?? Nitro is about $5000 cheaper but it is a new vehicle on the market with no track record - Honda products also rate high. I need help in deciding. Thanks
My 2006 RRS has been in the shop for about 7 weeks for apparent rodent damage to some electrical harnesses. It seems as though they should have fixed the damage by now. I feel as though I'm getting the run around because it's not a warranty issue. What recourse do I have? Legal? Lemon Law? My insurance agent is staying on top of it, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
i have a 1999 pontiac sunfire SE Coupe,, i have done several mods to it,, but it has a 3sp AT, i was wondering if it is possible to swap it with a 5sp MT, and how ward of a job it would be??? if it is indeed possible, can i just take a tranny out of another sunfire??? another posibility is to do a whole engine swap with the 2.4L DOHC outta the sunfire GT Coupe but i want the 5sp manual???? how hard will this be to achieve???? please halp me!!!!!
i have a 1995 taurus that heats to halfway point even in cold weather. (50f) in california. i also smell coolant after i turn it off. it has new radiator, hoses, water pump. all about 1 1/2 years and 8k miles. it tends to cool down when i turn on the air conditioning or the heater. im wondering if this is a sign of impending head gasket breakdown, etc. any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. im new to this forum and chat groups in general so any referals to appropriate groups or forums would also be appreciated. thank you.

How is this applied towards the tax in a Lease?
