I’m planning on buying a Lexus IS350, and I live in Chicago, so I would like a remote car starter on my car. That car has a push button ignition. Is it possible to install a remote car starter on it to warm my car in the freezing winters?

Dan K asked:


I am looking at another 06 Pontiac GTO for my girlfriend and I was wondering if I can talk this guy down anymore. The car has 7200 miles and he wants 400 above retail cause he’s “giving” us a 10-year /100,000 mile warranty on it. He’s asking $24,200 for it.

a~chill~chic asked:


Out of all the luxury cars, which car is the most expensive to maintain and repair?
I was just wondering because I currently own a ‘98 Mercedes C230, and I’m trying to figure out if I should keep it or buy something else. BUT I need to know if it would be the best option because I might be putting more money into a newer car (any) , but I do want another luxury-type car. Any suggestions?

When financing a car can you talk the bank into lowering the monthly payments by stretching it out?

God’sStrength asked:


I’m trying to lower my monthly payments by adding on a couple of extra years on to my financing. Instead of 5 years at a price, like 7 years but less a month. I don’t want to give up my car, and I’m willing to still pay for it if possible. Can banks do this for you through auto financing? I mean they’re still going to get their money. Can they work with you on this situation?

Steven asked:


I am a 19 year old boy. My parents are buying me my first car. It is a nice pre-owned car. How does the insurance for the car generally work? Is it required? I will be in college next year. Can they take care of my car insurance? How does it work? I heard that they can put my car under their insurance. Is this true? Please explain.
