Don S asked:


India and France are already producing air powered automobiles which has a top speed of 60MPH and a range of 120 miles. It will be introduced in the US next year. The projected price is around $12,000.00. It costs $2.00 to recharge the airflasks. Zero emmission and the name of the car is “evolution”. There are two models, a four passenger and a six passenger. Although not ideal for drag racing or long range travels, this car will be ideal as a second car doing errands and short commutes.

azjohn2001 asked:


My girlfriend has a 2002 Hyundai Accent with about 130,000 miles. We took it to a car wash. After leaving the car wash, the check engine light started flashing and the engine shook. After about 15 minutes the shaking stopped and the car drove normally again. This happened about 3 weeks ago and there have been no issues since then. What would cause her car to do this?

Shananigans asked:


I am going to look at a 96′ v6 camaro with 127000 miles on it. The dealer is asking $3500 but I want to know how much I can talk him down to. I have to drive about 6-7 hours to the dealership and I have the cash. Would that help? Is there anything else I could bring up to lower the price?

How do I buy a new car from a dealership?

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

ElectroMagneticLight asked:


I actually bought a new car back in Nov. ‘02. Mits. Lancer ‘03. Well, I regret that. I got totally ripped off. I am still paying for that car plus I have a balloon payment (the interest) coming up in Nov. ‘07. I know I’m going to be needing a new car soon. I am giving myself some extra time before I buy so I can make the right decision. I narrowed my choices to 2 cars: MINI Cooper/ Toyota Matrix. I ask: How can I haggle prices down? How can I find out what are the taxes in my area? How can get a great loan with my bank? I think I have excellent or almost excellent credit. What advice can you guys give me? (The reason why I’m getting a new car is because my boyfriend is going to be using my Mits. He had to sell his car when we moved. We are both young and need some wise advice.
I can’t ask my parents for advice because they are dead.

I’m not going to get a used car because I’m going to look stupid driving a shite box.

Yes I can afford two car payments. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be asking for advice.

My boyfriend bought us a condo with both of are names on it. He’s done a lot for me, so the least I can do is let him use his car since he sold his car so the move could be easier.
