I am having a child in April which is better with one child? Odyssey or CR-V? Odyssey is considerably more expensive, but bigger. CR-V has 4 wheel drive and is cooler? Both are hard to find used - should I have any room to negotiate?
We are discussing Odysseys in our Vans conference and CR-Vs in our SUV conference. You can use the Topic Search feature on the left side of the page to find ongoing discussions that could be very helpful to you.
You may also want to check in to the Our Turn conference which is devoted to women's automotive issues of all kinds. One way to find it is to use the Conference drop down list just below the Topic Search function.
Good luck.

We are considering ordering a new GMC Jimmy. One of the options is a 3.73 rear axle ratio. The standard axle is a 3.42. Which ratio will provide the best gas mileage for everyday non-tow commuting? Is the difference insignificant? I get conflicting statements from local dealers.
I used the Topic Search feature on the left side of the page for lease and came up with a topic that would be a good place for your question. Here is a link:
I am buying a suburban but it comes with a 410 axle. I plan to tow in the near future (2 years) but for the meantime, it will be a soccer vehicle not to be used for towing. Is the 410 vs 373 a big deal????
sell or trade thr Neon,it has a blown head gasket or the head is cracked.Axle ratios are simply how many times an axle turns per driveshaft turn. Low axle ratios get worse gas mileage but are ok for towing.A 4.10/1 ratio is a good tradeoff for towing and mileage.As for the Cadillac w/100k mileage,that is not too bad,within acceptable limits.I have a '93 Formula with a LT-1 350 engine with 114,000 and uses no oil that i can tell.Lucky me!
I am interested in purchasing a 1994 passat in excellent condition fully loaded.. it is selling for $6950.00.. i realize this is below value and that concerns me.. tell me what u think..thanks..
The places in Town Hall to seek buying advice for a vehicle such as the Passat would be our Sedans Conference and our Smart Shopper Conference.
I suggest you use the Topic Search feature on the left side of this page for Passat and find and active topic in one of those conferences to ask your question.
Good luck.

i just purchased a 99 tahoe with 45000 miles. dealer wants to sell me a gm warranty at full price. Can i buy the same warrenty online at a discount and where.
sure1, you should check out our Finance, Warranty and Insurance Conference. Take a look at the topic list - I'm sure you'll find a good place to ask your question.
mking10, you might want to use the Topic Search feature on the left side of this page for Explorer - you will find lots of active topics on this vehicle where you can ask this question.
