500 + 16-year-old car is lower than my sweet spot of around $8,000-$10,000 + under 7-year-old car, as I’d trade faster deprecation for fewer repairs. Still, the idea of paying cash for a car definitely fits in with mycar affordability rule-of-thumb. If you stop thinking of ...
1,000 miles for those who believe the most metal particles migrate into the factory oil during that period. I follow this regimen both because I think the first 1,000 miles are the most critical break in period(and also because any API rated oil under moderate driving is good for 1,000...
Another dealer may charge $500 markup and sell 2000 cars. Same net income** ... Thats not quite how it works ... it depends on the store(s), where it's at, what they're selling and how many stores are under the same "umbrella" ... you'd be amazed on how many of the "...
(Sensor for gas pump at first - engine light on & engine sputtering, then Service suspension system light on with the air compressor not working as the wires under the gas tank were completely rotten. The cover over them had been cut off by a piece of metal rubbing on it - I guess wa...
I have a 2001 Isuzu rodeo 54,000 miles. The entire under body of my vehicle is rotted and is not fixable! My rear torque bar completely rotted off and fell off while I was driving which made my car sway out of control...thankfully I was not driving at a fast speed or my family ...

I crawled under the xA and it doesn't look like it would be very easy to mount a hitch unless it bolts up way back there. There doesn't seem to be anything to support a hitch very well. I've loaded my xA on a steep hill with cargo (a lot) and then launched it uphill and ...
I'd like to point out that based on time and mileage, this repair would have been covered anyway under the car's 3-year/36,000 mile basic warranty. gc77584 Member Posts: 65 May 2008 It wasn't necessary for you to point that out. I'm well aware that it was covered under the...
They have a 99 Limited with 6,500 miles on it, which is one that "the sales manager & his wife used to demo -- they drove it to Arizona & back on a vacation." It's VERY loaded, and price is a little under $30,000. Is this a good deal? I have no idea what ins...
