Does anyone know the best places to recommend getting a car this way (I.e. reliable dealers with reasonable APR). Are there any good websites? Thanks

I have a question concerning car dealerships?
I have went to my second dealership in as many days and both of the cars that I looked at had check engine lights. When I told the salesman of the matter, both times, the salesman seemed not to know that there ever was a check engine light. As if its not a big deal.
Actually im happy that they left it and didnt reset it only for it to come back later after I potentially would have purchased it.
My question is are check engine lights that serious? I know it can be a loose gas cap, clogged filter, etc, but a lot of cars seem to have this check engine light.
And can a mechanic inspecting a car tell if a check eninge light has been reset prior to sell?
And why dont dealerships know alot about their cars like when timing belt was changed etc.
Sorry to bother yall, but I didnt know anything about cars until 3 months ago and now I know a lot and may be a little too paranoid when it comes to buying a car

Welcome to the real world. When it comes to owning a car, you are really lucky if you can find one repair person in a million that knows what he/she is doing; and is also honest.
I have a question concerning car dealerships?
Check engine light could be ANYTHING.
Check engine light should be rename "please have the engine code scanned" light. It by itself means nothing (other than something is wrong). It could be loose gas cap or bad cat converter.
And if they were to reset it, the emission would fail, because the ODBii system would not read - ready. It takes about 1 hour driving or 50 miles for the ODBii to be ready for scanning.
It used to be that check engine light meant tons $$$ for repair. But most of the modern cars - the diagnostics is pretty straight forward for educated mechanic. The real problem is that the repair can be few dollars or few hundred dollars.
If I was you I would get a ODBii scanner - as then can be used on many cars and it will make your life easier.
===
One of the reason why they dealers don't know when timing belt was changed is because that knowledge rarely helps in the sales. They only try to know stuff that helps. The rest they leave it to your imagination.
Good Luck...
Reply:Check engine lights are rarely serious. You can have a mechanic do the diagnostic if you want to see why the car thinks the light should be on. Most used car dealerships can only go on the word of the person that brought the car in and so just check it everything looks ok. There's no reason to worry and most dealers will allow you to take the car to a mechanic to get checked out before you buy it.
Reply:One Sidebar that you need to know. On most modern cars, once you insert the key, the Check Engine Light does comes on and stays on till the Microprocessor does its Diagnostic check.
Hence the light can stay on for as little as 5 seconds to almost full minute on older cars maybe even more. Also its a common misconception among the Sales folks that if the light is on that means you need to do Oil change.

I don't know what you mean by "not too expensive". For some that is $5K. For others that's $25K.
Having said that I think the Civic and the Mazda 3 are good lookers and sporty (kind of fast) and get great MPG. Even my OLD 94 Civic still gets 41 MPG (doing 72 MPG). So at 55 it would be even better.

I'm thinking of buying a motorbike but have no experience. What's a good start and what should I look for?
I've heard you should start on a 600cc - what's a good starting road bike for a beginner and what should I look for if buying second-hand?
I'm thinking of buying a motorbike but have no experience. What's a good start and what should I look for?
I'd suggest buying a used bike of 250cc or so. If you don't put TOO much money into it you won't be worried about scratching it. Then later you can resell it %26amp; trade up to something bigger. Of course it depends on your size %26amp; comfort, too. My 6' 2" boyfriend likes my 250, but it's not comfortable for him for long.
Any used bike you should get checked by an experienced motorcycle mechanic; it will be worth any fee they might charge.

Victim of on spot delivery...what should I do now? HELP!!!!?
The dealer allowed me to take home the car without my financing being finalized and approved by the bank. To show that I do have proof of income, I sent in current and past copies of personal checks issued by my boss. Now the dealer contacts me and say that my financing will NOT get approved unless I provide a paystub, of which are NOT issued with my employer. I paid a downpayment, and most likely I have been a victim of "spot delievery."
Question is: can I get my money back (given I send the car back) if I do not get the financing I agreed and signed on to?
Victim of on spot delivery...what should I do now? HELP!!!!?
Legally, yes you should be able to. They may be able to charge you for the use of the car, however, so you might not get it all back.
And unless your employer is not running a legal business, they should be able to provide you with SOME form of proof of income.
Victim of on spot delivery...what should I do now? HELP!!!!?
i think so
Reply:You were not a victim, you were an active participant. You knew you did not have final approval for the financing, and you knew you did not get regular pay stubs (and I'm guessing did not tell the dealer).
See if you can return the car and get your money back, then start over. Get approved for financing and THEN find a car. Anyone who does it the other way around is asking for trouble.

Can I trade in my 07 Civic Hybrid I bought 6 months ago for a leased car?
The payments are high and I could get a leased civic that gets almost as good of mileage with a cheaper monthly payment. I'm no car salesman so can anyone help me out?
Can I trade in my 07 Civic Hybrid I bought 6 months ago for a leased car?
You are digging bigger and bigger hole.
When you bought a car just 6 months ago, you lost somewhere between 20% to 30% of the car value. And buying another car on top of that...
===
Your best bet would be to try and get a personal loan or home equity loan (student loan if you are student), etc. and "refinance" this current loan. Unlike a home refinance, cars are NOT really refinanced. The most you can do is to try and pay off the current loan with another loan that has
(1) better rates,
(2) lower monthly payment rate
(3) more deductible on the tax return.
Good Luck...
P.S. leasing is one of the worst things you can do. The best way to save money is to buy a car and hold it and squeeze every penny's worth of value before selling it. It seems like you haven't done much research. If you are not the kind of research person, ask a friend or family member for advice. But don't just sign a large contract (lease) without being more informed.
Can I trade in my 07 Civic Hybrid I bought 6 months ago for a leased car?
You must be informed when going to trade in your car to a dealership. If you are not certain of the value then you can be at a disadvantage.
Dont be suprised if a dealership makes a terrible offer. It's really easy to get a quote online to see how much your car is worth. I have recommended http://tradein.123thebest.info - Good luck.

Buying a diesel or petrol car?
I'm considering buying a new car soon. Diesel fuel is cheaper here than gasoline. In the long run, I'd like to know which would be worth my money considering fuel costs, maintenance. I was told that new diesel engines have good performance comparable to gasoline engines.
Buying a diesel or petrol car?
If diesiel is cheap in your country then i would definetly go with diesel as you get better mileage per litre nad it it is also better for the environment.in terms of maintainence, as far as i know it costs the same for servicing and repairs.
Buying a diesel or petrol car?
generally speaking diesels require less maintenance than their gasoline cousins.
look for the new VW Jetta TDI in 2009

Selling a Car on The Web?
Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could tell me of the best way to sell a car on the web. I was thinking of Ebay or Auto Trader but wasn't sure which is the best. For the record it is a Jaguar X-Type and I am hoping to get about 15k.
Is it possible to sell it on both of these sites simultaneously?
Or which is the best way to go about selling this car..
Selling a Car on The Web?
Yes you can list it on as many sites as you want. Just be sure and remove the listings when you sell. And the only people that shop for cars on the web are bargain hunters, so be sure and set the reserve price around what you want to get for it.
Best advice I can give...trade it in and let the dealership worry about reselling the car.
Selling a Car on The Web?
I would go with Craigslist first. It's free.
Ebay charges a set $40 listing fee and then $40 selling fee.
Auto Trader charges a significan fee as well.
Put it up on Craigslist first.
BTW, I would not recommend trading it in. The stealership will give you peanuts for it, and then turn around and sell it for thousands more. Selling on your own is slightly more hassle, but you're more likely to get your asking price. Trading a car in is more convenient, but you'll be lucky to get half of what you're asking for.
Reply:E H has it right... go to craigslist i just got my camaro rs from there... also some other things... and the best part....... ITS FREE.... just be aware of scammmmmmers... good luck selling ur car...
Reply:If your in the UK Ebay and Auto Trader are the main sites but expensive, you could try Gumtree, be aware your make and model of car are oversupplied and in free fall so trading in can be a good option if the price is right.

Used 07 Camry Hybrid or new 09 Corolla?
Which should I buy? I can buy the Camry hybrid for about $1000 more than a fully loaded Corolla. The hybrid has 30K miles on it. The real world gas mileage is about 34 for the hybrid and 30 for the Corolla in mixed driving. The warranty on the battery will be up June 2014 or 100k miles. Both have a warranty for 36/36000miles. I drive about 2000 miles a month. I am leaning towards the hybrid because it has a better ride and is a little bigger. I am a little worried about the hybrid technology being reliable.Please let me know your opinion. Thanks!
Used 07 Camry Hybrid or new 09 Corolla?
Here's the secret to hybrid technology ... it only saves you gas when you're driving local. Once you're on the highway, you're burning the same amount of gas.
If you're doing 2000 miles a month, I'm assuming you're doing quite abit of highway driving ... this won't save you any money.
The saving with the hybrid is it turns off the engine when idling and low rpms. This is perfect for local driving.
Either way, you can't go wrong. The Camry is a bigger car with more space. The Corolla is a very economical and reliable vehicle.
Have you test driven them yet? Go for a drive under normal driving conditions and see which one you like better.
Used 07 Camry Hybrid or new 09 Corolla?
i would go for a new car the other one has 30,000 miles on it and thats quite a bit. But a new car has like zero miles on it and thats 30,000 miles you didnt have before
Reply:I'd go with the used Hybrid because you get more car for your money. I agree with the other guy where the hybrid wont really save you much money on the highway. Try looking for a regular loaded 4 cyl Camry.

I am planning to buy my 1st car next month or so. My budget is Rs 5-5.5Lacks.?
I stay in Bangalore and I would mainly drive with my family on weekend in the city. Request all members here to let me know which is a suitable car. Looks matter to me as well as mileage. I had 3 cars in my mind .... Get Prime GVS 1.1, Ford Ikon, Chehevrolet Yuva. Please suggest if my choice is correct or there are better options.
Note - I do not like the looks of Swift so its not in my list.
I am planning to buy my 1st car next month or so. My budget is Rs 5-5.5Lacks.?
Dear Friend, it is not the right time to go for a family car, as the petrol is sky rocketing, adding with maintenance and also you have clearly said it is only for a week end drive purpose. so take the help of cabs / travels for the same do not invest in Car, put the same in FD and get interest and use the interest for your Travel / week end purpose. any how it is my suggestion. inflation is soaring daily. think practically. do not get discouraged by my answer.

looks like the Hyundai Prime has the most options and its the least ugly. Hyundai's are good cars thats what i would pick. If you guys have a toyota corolla equivelent or a Honda Civic Equivelent those are two very reliable and fuel efficent cars (we call the Yuva the Aveo and the icon a Focus)

Reply:In my opinion the mileage of cars are also a major factor in buying cars so if you go for a smaller car, the getz prime will be an option. But if u want to consider space and want to buy a bigger car , i think hyundai accent and ford ikon are at par.
If u wanted to save some money u could have also have considered a swift diesel.

Which is Best? Toyota Hilux, Nissan Nivara or Holden Rodeo? The newer models that is.?
Hilux. In my country the Hilux is priced in line with the much more toned down Nissan Hardbody, with which it competes.
The Nissan Nivara is much more expensive, but resembles the Hilux in looks and features. The Toyota is therefore much better value for money, when compared to the Nivara. It is also surprisingly light on fuel, has a name for reliability, affordable maintenance etc.
I'm not talking about looks, inside and out, as those are subjective, allthough personally I don't think they Hilux does too bad in this department either. I like the Nivara, but I'd go for the Hilux as the sensible choice. Sorry, I don't know anything about the Holden Rodeo, can't help you there.
I would consider the new Ford Ranger (if it has the same name in your country) as not being a bad choice either. It also depends what type of engine you like (petrol / diesel). Toyota's 3.0 D4D Diesel is superb, and a completely new advanced and efficient engine. The Ford engine is also excellent. Nissan's 3l diesel has had some problems, but their petrol (or gasoline, or whatever you call it) is great though. But for that matter, so is the Toyota 2.7 VVTI.
Which is Best? Toyota Hilux, Nissan Nivara or Holden Rodeo? The newer models that is.?
it depends if your talking about four wheel drive or 2 wheel drive! in the four wheel drive i would go for the toyota hulux because of their good reputation and they hold their price better than the nissan navara and holden rodeo i would steer away from nissan tho holden do make good cars as we all know but as a trade man for a ute the hulux. in two wheel drive i would go for the hulux or the nissan navara im just not a fan of the holden rodeo in the two wheel drive. also if your thinking deisiel go for the toyota or the nissan!!! they are both making good deisiel engines but i still prefer the toyota!!!!!
Which is Best? Toyota Hilux, Nissan Nivara or Holden Rodeo? The newer models that is.?
The Hilux or the Rodeo are the better vehicles by a long shot.
The V6 petrol Navara isn't too bad a truck but steer clear of the diesel model as the engines are total rubbish and have a lot of turbo lag, also the build quality is a little wanting....Well they do have Renault diesels and are built in Spain of all places.Petrol ones are still built in Japan and all nissan (i.e nice strong engine)
The Nissan Nivara is much more expensive, but resembles the Hilux in looks and features. The Toyota is therefore much better value for money, when compared to the Nivara. It is also surprisingly light on fuel, has a name for reliability, affordable maintenance etc.
I'm not talking about looks, inside and out, as those are subjective, allthough personally I don't think they Hilux does too bad in this department either. I like the Nivara, but I'd go for the Hilux as the sensible choice. Sorry, I don't know anything about the Holden Rodeo, can't help you there.
I would consider the new Ford Ranger (if it has the same name in your country) as not being a bad choice either. It also depends what type of engine you like (petrol / diesel). Toyota's 3.0 D4D Diesel is superb, and a completely new advanced and efficient engine. The Ford engine is also excellent. Nissan's 3l diesel has had some problems, but their petrol (or gasoline, or whatever you call it) is great though. But for that matter, so is the Toyota 2.7 VVTI.
Which is Best? Toyota Hilux, Nissan Nivara or Holden Rodeo? The newer models that is.?
it depends if your talking about four wheel drive or 2 wheel drive! in the four wheel drive i would go for the toyota hulux because of their good reputation and they hold their price better than the nissan navara and holden rodeo i would steer away from nissan tho holden do make good cars as we all know but as a trade man for a ute the hulux. in two wheel drive i would go for the hulux or the nissan navara im just not a fan of the holden rodeo in the two wheel drive. also if your thinking deisiel go for the toyota or the nissan!!! they are both making good deisiel engines but i still prefer the toyota!!!!!

To buy or not to buy? 1993 BMW 525i?
My husband and I are contemplating buying a beater car to prevent putting excessive miles on our primary vehicle. The beater car in question is a 1993 BMW 525i Touring Wagon. The exterior of the vehicle is in very good condition as is the interior (with a few minor exceptions). The only thing that I am having a bit of trouble digesting is that the airbag light is on and it will not deploy if needed unless the problem has been resolved. Of course, if we bought the car, we would take the necessary steps to fix the problem but I am just wondering..
1. Is the car worth $2K in this condition? (Also, no A/C, 2 tires must be replaced...) Kelly Blue Book says it's worth about $3K...?
2. Does anyone know about how much work of this nature costs (labor to detect problem %26amp; then resolve)? Is it worth it???
Thanks!
To buy or not to buy? 1993 BMW 525i?
BMW's are good cars but the parts and service are very expensive.
unless you or your husband are good with tools
I'd say this car is too old and needs too much work.

In order for a car to be Acura Certified Pre-Owned, does it have to be bought at an Acura dealership?
I just bought a used 2005 Acura TSX from a used car dealer that is NOT an actual Acura dealer. They told me the car was Acura Certified Pre-Owned and even charged me an extra $3,000 or so. The 'maintenance required' light turned on the other day so I guess I have to take it in to get checked out. However, while searching for an Acura dealer close to where I live, I ran into an article that made it sound like only ACURA DEALERSHIPS can sell pre-owned certified Acuras. I hope I just mis-interpreted the article or else I'm not going to be a happy camper. If you have any knowledge on this please help!!!!!!
In order for a car to be Acura Certified Pre-Owned, does it have to be bought at an Acura dealership?
If per say they sold it at an auction as a certified then yes it could be certified. If you contact the manufacturer and ask them if it is indeed a pre owned certified they should be able to tell you. Due to the fact that they have to register it in the database as being certified. Can a dealer other than Acura certify it no but as I said they may have sold it at the auction, as it may not have had any interest at the dealership it may have come from. Just call Acura the number should be in your owners manual. Or research it on the web link listed below. Yes an Acura is made by Honda.

Without knowing all the details of your car (mileage, the name of the dealer you purchased, etc.), I am very skeptical that your car is Acura Certifed. Here's the link to the Acura Certified Pre-owned website. It shows the certification process.
http://www.acura.com/index.aspx?initPath...
If you have all the items listed on the website, then it is probably certified. If not, the dealer took you for an extra $3000. Of course a call to Acura should confirm if your car is certified.

Should I buy a car?
With the economy the way it is now, should I go buy a car? I am going to need one for school and work this fall and this summer. I would not be using that much in gas. Should I make the splurge? It's either buying a sweet laptop or using that money for a down payment on a used car. I can always buy a laptop in the fall. I see a car I really like. It's only $ 8,000. I am still wondering if I should do it.
Should I buy a car?
Go for it as long as you are sure you will have enough money in the fall to get the laptop you need. Weigh the prices of gas with pain of taking public transportation and make a decision. Make sure to have the car checked out by a reputable mechanic to make sure that it won't be costing you money in the long run. Any reputable seller should let you do this.
Should I buy a car?
Do you really need the car or simply want one? Will the car reduce your expenditure or increase it? Have you taken into consideration the actual cost of owning a car?.... gas, maintenance, insurance...
Reply:Yeah go for it and sometime in the fall or mid summer you can start saving up and maybe ask for a little bit more cash for a new laptop... "GOOD LUCK"!!!
Reply:It sounds like you need a car to me and you have done your homework. When buying the car, see if you can get them down a bit on the price. Before purchasing, post another question with the details of the car. We might be able to help you negotiate a better price for the car. The money you save on the purchase of the car can go toward your laptop this fall.
Good luck.
Reply:Make sure you go buy during Lean season when prices are down or there are Incentives going. This would be around the time in fall when New models are introduced. If you have to do it immediately, wait for 4th of July sale.
I am assuming you have done your homework on pricing and gas mileage. You can always get a laptop from Craigslist or a Mini Notebooks that are Sub 1000 Price range.
Reply:Be careful of used cars. I feel more comfortable getting a low-mileage used car from a dealer that sells that model new. Make sure you get the balance of the warranty, and try to haggle for a 30-day fix-it-free deal if something breaks as you drive off the lot.
Financially, make sure that your payments are within your budget. Put down as much as you can, and get a loan pre-approval if you can from your bank. Be careful of the low-interest or rebate. Look at your TOTAL cost, including interest over the life of the loan--and don't trust the salesperson when they do the math in their head.
Good luck!

Should I buy a new car??
I have 01 civic coupe 110kmiles, and have a 4 month old baby and I have a problem fitting a car seat in the back of my car. Access to the back seat is also not easy. My wife has a CRV so we have a larger vehicle but she works also. Should I buy a 4 door 4cyl. sedan like a Nissan Altima which has a larger trunk and back seat. I have the means to pay cash and still have an emergency funds. My car runs good and the gas mpg is great and needs only routine items from time to time, but I am not sure what to do since gas has increased to the high price level. I can buy an Altima at invoice price minus current rebate this month $1250. looking at just about 20k drive out. Should I buy a new,wait and buy or deal with the 2 door Civic?
Should I buy a new car??
Personally, I'm waiting in hopes of a new technology to arise. I would love a hydrogen, natural gas, or ethanol vehicle. I'll just wait till they are available.
Should I buy a new car??
Yes
Reply:Sounds like it's in your best interest to buy the new car........1). U got the money to pay CASH!! 2). U have problems putting in the car seat in the 01 Honda. 3). Then it wouldn't matter which car you drove, the new one or the CRV, when it came down to transporting the baby
Then you could sell the Honda and get every penny that you ask for now with the $4.00 a gallon gas situation!! Trully a win-win situation, Cuz!!!
Reply:That is the one problem with small cars. Many backward facing car seats don't fit.
Before you rush out to buy a new car, remember your child will only be riding backwards for a short period time. Not knowing the size of your child or the car seat, I would check that first, then see how the seat fits facing forward. The Altima and those deals will be around for the remainder of the year (tough year for auto sales) so there is no rush to get that car. Also you have a well maintained car that can easily eclipse 180k miles ( I have 161k on my 2000 Olds Intrigue) and it gets great gas mileage which is a great selling point (sell it privately when you are ready to sell, you'll make a killing).
IF after looking at those things I mentioned, you believe you need a new car, then go for it. the Altima will get you good gas mileage and has tons of room in the back seat. Just do some research on the CVT transmission in those cars and other Nissan products. This transmission has been around long enough that there are now reviews on its durability.
Good Luck.
Reply:myself I would go look for a dependable used car!
check used car reviews like
consumer reports and

get a nice 4 door nissan, honda, saturn ,mazda
maybe 5 years old and 60,000 on it still lots of life in the car , dependable and about 1/4 the cost
Reply:First off see if you could swap cars with your wife and use the CRV. If not then Sell the Civic.
If the car is running great and has great gas Mileage then it should bring good Value. Try private Buyers first since you may get better price there. Only after you have sold the car, you can go get that Altima.
If you really want to trade then you will get less price for the Civic. But make sure you disclose the trade after you fixed a price on the altima.
Lastly as far as altima price is concerned, If I were to buy an Altima right now, I will get it Bellow invoice Price before any rebates are applied. Say about 500 to 1000 Bellow. All you need to do is good homework.
Try http://www.fightingchance.com. I have used it twice. Once in Winter 06 %26amp; Once this month. In 06, I got my car 2500 bellow invoice. This month my wife got hers for $125 bellow invoice for a 2009 car.
Reply:Actually there should be more rebates than that for the Altima... also try the weekend sales where there's more of a deal. Expect to spend 2+ hours at a dealership if you decide to buy... buy a new one since there's so much incentives for new cars.

I want to buy a Hond fit and I have 1,000 bucks for a downpayment and was wondering.......?
Talk to your local Honda dealer. This is the time of year that Honda runs their special financing. Buying now at 1.9%-3.9% (depending on how long you finance) may be cheaper then buying in 3 months when the finance rate is normal around 5.9%. Of course you have to factor in the down payment. A car like the Fit has a low depreciation rate and in high demand now.
If the dealer does not have any special finance, try a local credit union (if you are a member or your local bank). People have also had luck with loans over the internet. I'm not that brave. it's also nice to have this financing in your back pocket when negotiating with the dealer. Some dealers will match or beat bank financing if you are approved.
Talk to a dealer and find out all your options and do some math to see what will work for you.

Who do you call if you think you have been scammed by a used car dealer?
Just bought a used 2005 Acura TSX. However, I'm starting to think I was scammed because they told me it was an Acura Certified Pre-Owned vehicle despite that fact that it is not an Acura dealer. Answers to a question posted here are confirming my suspicions. Would I call the Better Business Bureau to file a complaint or just maybe get a lawyer?
Who do you call if you think you have been scammed by a used car dealer?
Welcome to the real World. Once a Honda dealer sold me a 89 Camry that promptly crapped on me in two months. Buying a used car is not an easy task. It requires a LOT of homework.
If you bought in less than 30 Days then you are eligible to return the car and get your money back. The exact time depends on each dealer.
Weather BBB will help you or not will depend on exact details. If he passed a Acura Certified car even when he was not a Acura dealer is fishy. But you are equally to blame. Hindsight is always 20-20. What'd you think you were doing ? That's the downside of not doing homework. I am not a Lawyer. But I think best a lawyer may do is get your money back. It depends on your circumstances..
Who do you call if you think you have been scammed by a used car dealer?
You can get a car certified even though they are not an exclusive dealership. Be careful, I promise the dealership does have a lawyer so if you aren't sure there is wrong doing don't make accusations. You could get burned.
Reply:Hmmm... sounds fishy, but... it'll be a fight if you are ready to fight to prove it wasn't Acura Certified Pre-Owned... that doesn't sound right. Good luck...
Reply:Acura Certified Pre-Owned vehicle
Every vehicle must pass stringent measures before it can become a Certified Pre-Owned Acura. Only well-maintained, late-model Acura vehicles are considered, and each one must pass a comprehensive 150-point inspection and a Vehicle History Report review. Virtually every mechanical system鈥攆rom the engine to the door locks鈥攊s checked and serviced to meet precise specifications, and a thorough appearance inspection scrutinizes fit and finish鈥攊nside and out鈥攖o ensure that every vehicle upholds the luxury and sophistication of the Acura name. The Acura Dealership technicians also inspect all placements of the Vehicle Identification Number to ensure that the VIN plates match. In addition, the VIN is researched for open service campaigns.

Hindsight is always 20-20. What'd you think you were doing ? That's the downside of not doing homework. I am not a Lawyer. But I think best a lawyer may do is get your money back. It depends on your circumstances..
Who do you call if you think you have been scammed by a used car dealer?
You can get a car certified even though they are not an exclusive dealership. Be careful, I promise the dealership does have a lawyer so if you aren't sure there is wrong doing don't make accusations. You could get burned.
Reply:Hmmm... sounds fishy, but... it'll be a fight if you are ready to fight to prove it wasn't Acura Certified Pre-Owned... that doesn't sound right. Good luck...
Reply:Acura Certified Pre-Owned vehicle
Every vehicle must pass stringent measures before it can become a Certified Pre-Owned Acura. Only well-maintained, late-model Acura vehicles are considered, and each one must pass a comprehensive 150-point inspection and a Vehicle History Report review. Virtually every mechanical system鈥攆rom the engine to the door locks鈥攊s checked and serviced to meet precise specifications, and a thorough appearance inspection scrutinizes fit and finish鈥攊nside and out鈥攖o ensure that every vehicle upholds the luxury and sophistication of the Acura name. The Acura Dealership technicians also inspect all placements of the Vehicle Identification Number to ensure that the VIN plates match. In addition, the VIN is researched for open service campaigns.
Does Anyone Else Want A Shelby Colbra?
I saw this most beautiful, 2008 Shelby Colbra convertable. Dark blue, 6 speed, Grey leather seats. I crave this more then a Big Mac LOL. I have a 2004 Mustang GT Coupe five speed. She is a beaut and almost paid for and I don't really need a new car especially one with a price tag of $51,000+..........I can only dream!

by the way..the Shelby's value only goes up! If you sell in a couple year you will atleast get back what you paid for it...in 30 years the KR (which was around $105,000.00) will be worth about $500,000.00!
Reply:My 55 year old brother-in-law just bought a red one with the white stripe. Now mind you , I don't know if it would have happened if my sister wouldn't have totaled his truck BUT she did sooo he got his dream car. He asked her if she wanted to drive it and she got all excited and said yes so he grabbed her hand and put it on the wheel. He said, "Okay, that is probably the closest to driving it that you will ever get." Guess I don't blame him being that this is like the 4th wreck my sister has had. Yeah, the price is way out of what I'd probably ever pay and once my sister told me their payments I nearly fell out of my chair. With the price of gas the way it is I couldn't see paying that!
Funny but when he got home with it the neighbor was outside so he proudly asks, "So, what do you think of my new toy?" Her answer, " Looks like a menopause thing to me." and she gets up and walks in the house. My sister said he stood there with his mouth open. LUV IT!

How to sell a car you're still making payments on?
How do I privately sell my car that I still have a loan for? I live in CT if that makes a difference.
How to sell a car you're still making payments on?
To sell a car you're still making payments on, have the buyer either pay the bank directly, or pay you so you can pay off the loan.
If the car has a lien, the original title will be mailed from the bank to whoever paid them for the car. Buyers of cars with liens can get temporary operating permits from the DMV, using the bill of sale.
How to sell a car you're still making payments on?
If your loan is through a regular lender that has an office you can go to, you and the buyer can go to their office and the buyer can give them certified funds to pay the vehicle off. The lender will then give you the title and you will transfer it to the buyer. If the lender is not local, you would need to give the buyer a bill of sale with the provision included that you will forward the title upon receipt. You would take their funds and overnight them to the lender and see if they can priority mail your title to you. You would then complete the transaction with the buyer. It is most important that the buyer get a bill of sale. Your local DMV should have a form available on their website with a sample bill of sale. Note that some buyers will not agree to such a transaction if they have to wait for a title. I ran into that problem once. I did eventually sell to someone who understood how it works. Another option is if you have a 401K plan, you could borrow the money to pay the vehicle off and then pay the 401K loan off when you sell the vehicle.

Co-Signers?
Hey, i was wondering if it is possible at all to have my sister co-sign on a vehicle for me. The only thing is she currently lives in virginia and i live in colorado. Any info would help. thanks
Co-Signers?
Two reasons why you would have a co-signer... not enough credit history or bad bad credit.
Before you have a co-signer especially family... it's impearitive that payments on your "new" car gets paid on time...
She can co-sign... depending on your states jurisdiction. Call a dealership with that question and check to see that they will allow out of state co-signers.
Co-Signers?
If she is willing. But it will depend on if the loan officer is willing to do all the faxing and footwork.

Altima Coupe of Volvo C30?
I might get either of these cars for my first car. Which one is bettter? (Base models of both)
Altima Coupe of Volvo C30?
Altima Coupe because of the maintenance cost factors for a major verses a Volvo C30... better gas mileage and better ratings.... it depends what you are looking for or concentrating on what you like...
Altima Coupe of Volvo C30?
I prefer the Volvo C30. Though the Altima Coupe may be more reliable, it is designed so bland that you could loose it in a parking lot. The Volvo will manage to turn heads because of its trendy, iconic styling. Not to mention the fact of Volvo safety. Also, the interior design is purely Scandinavian charm. An amazingly simple radio, and climate system that still manages to look cool. A nice factor about this car which the Nissan does not have is the lack of blind spots. The Volvo has a large glass panel on the back showing how far the thing you are about to back into is away. Also, the read seats are actually functional. I don't know if the Infiniti G37 is essentially an Altima, but if it is, it has virtually zero headroom. The Volvo placed captains chars in the rear leaving equally comfort to people in the rear, as well as the front.
If you would like another option, the new Honda Accord Coupe is very attractive. In a test conducted by Edmunds.com, the Honda Accord Coupe destroyed the Nissan Altima Coupe. Here is a picture of the Accord Coupe:

Can A Japanese Car Import Be Shipped To Canada?
Yes, you can import Japanese cars to Canada. However, according to Canadian laws, only cars more than 15 years old can be legally imported. That means your car has to be manufactured before 1993.
But that's not a problem as the most popular imports to Canada include the classic speed demon Nissan Skyline R32 GTR and GTST. There's also Toyota Supra 1993 and before.

Has anyone bought a car from Mr. Repo? Im looking for a reliable and cheap car.?
sometimes you can get a deal from a repo office. like anything else you have to use your noodle.
Has anyone bought a car from Mr. Repo? Im looking for a reliable and cheap car.?
I got my first car off a government auction. Cost all of $1800 I think but then that's all I could afford. I've still got it in my garage as a sign of 'those times'. Don't use it anymore.
Try a combination of Craigslist + repo car auctions to get a cheap car. It works for the short term.

heres what its got:
Sticker Price: $17,400
year: 2004
miles: 27,XXX
color: silver
Mods: carbon fiber hood, Magnaflow exhaust, lowered, eye lids, front and rear strut bars, turbo timer, Mopar bov
it might have some more mods but thats all i could see right away from just looking at it and driving it
the body itself is in perfect condition, no knicks or anything
i like the mileage a lot too :]
but yea do you guys think i should go for it?
Should I buy this Srt-4?
It's generally a rule to not buy modded cars because you don't know the quality of the work and it could be a money pit.
[Edit to the guy below: The Caliber has an SRT version of it's own which is faster than the Neon SRT-4]
Should I buy this Srt-4?
Yes, the SRT-4 is highly underrated. Right when this car was getting popular, Diamler was dumb as usual and replaced it with the crappy Caliber that really only finds its way to a Hertz Rental Car Parking Lot.

Am I getting a good deal???
I was at the Nissan dealer late last night and I left knowing this deal was on the table. My fiance and I both have 700+ credit. We are trading in a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 48,000 miles owing $6400 on it still and a 2000 Chrysler Concorde in Fair/Good condition with 100,000 miles worth $1000-$2000. We would be getting into 36 month leases for the following vehicles : 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5SL loaded (everything but navigation) and a 2008 Nissan Rogue SL AWD loaded (everything but navigation). The dealer started with a combined payment of $1000/month and by the time we left last night he was down to around $750/month without any money down but the trades and the first payment. I plan on going back, is this a good deal for these 2 vehicles????
Am I getting a good deal???
No. I don't know what the prices of the new cars are, but you have around 3500 equity on the jeep and say 1500 on the chrysler. Thats almost 5000 down. Using a lease calculator, I came up with around 1000 a month with NO $ DOWN. Adding in the 5000 it goes to 800 a month. That is paying sticker price, which you are dumb if you do. As a former car salesman, I can tell you never shop by payment. Always shop price, because payment can be manipulated easily.

What is a really good lease deal right now for a small 4 cylinder car?
I am a colllege student so I can't afford to pay over $200 a month. I'm trying to find a good deal for a small car...fuel efficient 4 cylinder car...or is it a better idea to attempt to buy a car and pay monthly payments? although I heard thats not a good idea bcuz of negative equity...
What is a really good lease deal right now for a small 4 cylinder car?
You have to go used and DO NOT LEASE! Also, NEVER shop for a car in payments. Shop in total price.

Is 212,000 miles on a 1999 ford explorer bad? a lot?
Yes, When buying a Car I don't buy anything over 100,000 miles... anything near it is ok....but once you hit 200K BiG repairs could be on the way
Reply:it is quite a lot but it shouldn't affect the way the car works just make sure it is up to date on mots and that nothing has been a problem with it.
hope this helps
Reply:If you are buying a pickup truck, I think you could get a terrific deal from a regular dealer on new or next to new. The people who rent vehicles are turning them in after the three year lease and not buying the leased truck due to gasoline inflation. Take someone with you to the car lot, if you decide to buy from a dealer. The '99 Explorer with 212,000 is not a winning deal for you.
Reply:Yes, honestly that is alot of miles on a vehicle. If you were to buy it, it probably would not last long and then you would have to put another engine in it and depending on if you buy that new or used it could cost up to like $4,000 to $5,000. I would look for something with less miles unless you really like the vehicle and willing to put a new motor in it.

Shoul I buy this car?
Hello,
I'm considering to buy a 2007 vehicle privately. The vehicle is in good condition (and good price) and I already got the Vehicle History Report; the vehicle has a clean record.
I'm ready to make an offer however there is one problem: the seller is 'selling' the vehicle on behalf of a friend that recently moved to another city; therefore, the seller is not the registered owner.
I asked the seller about this and he showed me that his friend
already signed the 'Application for Transfer'.
I was thinking that I should ask the seller for a 'Power of Attorney' stating the he has the rights to sell the car.
What do you think? Anyone with a similar experience?
Thanks!
Shoul I buy this car?
I personaly think that you shouldnt buy it.
What if HE wrote the signature and his friend is on vacation or something?
Shoul I buy this car?
If they are selling this for someone else yes they should in fact have a power of attorney to sell the car. If I was going to do it without the power of attorney, which I probally wouldnt do anyway, but if I was, I would NOT pay cash, I would write a check written to the person on the title. Id think about this before you do it!~
Reply:I would check into this more, never know it could be a scam and believe me i know how real and true scams can seem, i have been there. I would ask for more information on the person selling the car and also you might check with DMV. Does the price seem reasonable for the vehicle? Well i hope this helps, good luck.

I had no problems with that, B wrote a statement with the amount which he was selling the car, we both signed it and dated it... we wanted to go to a pub notary, but they were closed that day... so we just left it like that, when i went to put the car under my name i had no prob, i just showed the letter and that was it... now, in your case, since you will be paying alot more than me, i think u should take as many precautions as possible... im not sure about the legal aspects of it... but at least try to get documents signed by a notary... good luck...
I'm considering to buy a 2007 vehicle privately. The vehicle is in good condition (and good price) and I already got the Vehicle History Report; the vehicle has a clean record.
I'm ready to make an offer however there is one problem: the seller is 'selling' the vehicle on behalf of a friend that recently moved to another city; therefore, the seller is not the registered owner.
I asked the seller about this and he showed me that his friend
already signed the 'Application for Transfer'.
I was thinking that I should ask the seller for a 'Power of Attorney' stating the he has the rights to sell the car.
What do you think? Anyone with a similar experience?
Thanks!
Shoul I buy this car?
I personaly think that you shouldnt buy it.
What if HE wrote the signature and his friend is on vacation or something?

If they are selling this for someone else yes they should in fact have a power of attorney to sell the car. If I was going to do it without the power of attorney, which I probally wouldnt do anyway, but if I was, I would NOT pay cash, I would write a check written to the person on the title. Id think about this before you do it!~
Reply:I would check into this more, never know it could be a scam and believe me i know how real and true scams can seem, i have been there.

Invoice question?
O.k my husband had struts done on his car and the car has been making a weird noise when I turn right. so...he told me to take it back to the place where he originally got the struts done and to bring the reciept. well, I found an invoice that has the down payment and the rest of the cost. is that good enough or does it suppose to have something like paid in full on it?
Thanx!
Invoice question?
That should be enough to show they did the work. However, it may not have been the work they did that is causing the noise. If you are unsure, have it checked by another shop. An inspection is usually free.

Can I trade in one car that $11K is still owed and a truck that is paid for to cover the cost of the 1st car?
The first car is a honda civic 2002 in good condition, worth about 8K by KBB. The 2nd is 2000 Nissan Frontier in fair condition worth about 4K KBB.
Can I trade in one car that $11K is still owed and a truck that is paid for to cover the cost of the 1st car?
Maybe, it really depends on the dealership that you choose, but any dealership should give you close to the 11k.
Can I trade in one car that $11K is still owed and a truck that is paid for to cover the cost of the 1st car?
If your figures are trade in value, then maybe. If your figures are retail, no.
The dealer has to make a profit, so he can't buy your car(s) at full retail value.

Where can I get the best deal in a car rental in Mexico (aguascalientes) ?
Probably a midsize car or whatever is cheap.
If I owe $16k on my car and get $14k for it, will I owe the bank $2,000, like a personal loan? Hows it work?
I am selling my car to a private seller, and will be upside down about $2000 - $2500. Do I have to pay that off to the bank once the title is moved to new owner, how does it work?
If I owe $16k on my car and get $14k for it, will I owe the bank $2,000, like a personal loan? Hows it work?
yes you will still owe that to the bank. There will also be a fee for paying off the loan early or a transfer fee.

You must keep paying the bank until "YOUR" loan is satisfied.
Reply:You will have to pay the car in full to sell it because the bank will not release it's lean on it until then and the new owner will not be able to transfer the title to their name.
Reply:You are what they call "backwards" in the car. The entire loan balance will need to be paid in full before the bank will release the title. So to sell your car you will need to come up with the difference. Good luck.

Does anyone have any information on leasing a car?

Does anyone have any information on leasing a car?
Leasing a car is a good option for many people with good credit who want to drive the latest technology, and always have a car under warranty. Generally speaking, yes, you need good to excellent credit to make a lease worthwhile, but if you have this, you want to put as little money down as possible. The reason for this is that if you get in a wreck, you can't get this money back. I have leased two or three cars where I didn't put down anything except my first month's payment of $275. It IS possible to get a no-money down lease. Just negotiate with your dealer.
The difference between buying and leasing a car is that with leasing, you're paying for the difference between the purchase price and the residual value (the amount you'd get for trading it in three years from the purchase date).
Another advantage to a lease is that your residual value is guaranteed by the leasing company. Many large SUV leasees are looking pretty good right now, because while their residual may have dropped substantially, they will be able to walk away from the car without losing anything when the lease term is up.
Be careful, though. Do NOT enter a lease for any more than 39 months, in my opinion. It's just not a good option. Also, remember to negotiate the price of the car first, and then base the lease payment off of that. Be sure you also understand the factors that go into a lease payment, which include money factor (which is your interest rate divided by 24. For instance, if you're getting a money factor of .003, your interest rate is 7.2%) and your residual value. Normal residual is 50-60% over 36 months.
Great leasing cars are those that get good residual value, like Hondas and Toyotas. Also look for leasing specials as these are incentivised interest rates. Good luck!
