Terry N asked: I bought this car in April 2007. Days after buying it I noticed a vibration when I accelarated. Thought I need just an alignment. I called the dealer and the salesman that i bought the car from told me to bring it in. He apparently knew that my car had an axle problem. My car has now been in their shop 3 times. Each time, they have replaced the CV joints in the car with remanufacutured parts. The problem has started again. I want to see if they can get me another car? Is this possible? I checked with the lemon laws in PA and they can’t help me because I don’t have a manufacturers extended warranty. There are some other minor problems with the car and I’m just afraid that this car is just going to have more problems if I keep the car.
I bought it at a Ford Dealer.
Also, I checked the car fax report and the car showed no accidents and is not reported as a lemon.

vjustice4all asked:
Three months ago I co- signed for a truck for my boyfriend. It actually took my credit for him to qualify because he didn’t have enough established credit and no score. Now I would like to buy a car for myself. Will I have problems getting a car since I already have a car in my name?

Due May 17th with #1! asked:
We have an appointment tonight to finalize the deal for our new Chevrolet. I saw that GM just posted a record loss for last year. How does this affect my purchase or possibly affect my financing through GMAC? Here is the article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080212/ap_on_bi_ge/earns_gm

He’s my one and only! asked:
I am looking for something that is brand new, that will run awhile, with not a bunch of problems. The car doesn’t have to have power everying, or all the new electornics most new cars have today. I just want something that I can aford without going into debt over. I would only like a 3 year loan or lease.

Cory P asked:
I have a problem. I just broke up with my girlfriend and she was currently driving and paying every month for a 2006 kia sportage under my name because her credit was really bad. So now i am stuck with a second car payment to pay for her car. I myself have a 2005 mazda 3 that i make payments on. My goal would be to get rid of sportage payment some how. What are my options? I thought about going to a dealership and taking both cars and trading it in for one new or used car. The problem with that is im not sure if i could do it? The sportage would be negative $8000 equity and the mazda would be about negative $4000. So thats $12,000 negative equity that i would add to a new loan. Is that possible to do? Or is there a better option for me so i could still keep my mazda? Please help me.

jodiegun asked:
We bought a car from a private sale individual. We found out that they hid a very serious problem from us. Now the car is a junk and we have only had it 4 months after paying $4000 for it. Are there any actions we can take against the person?

ithinkiatetoomuch asked:
I found a car at a local dealer that seems to be $3000 under the blue book value. It is a 2 year old Toyota. The vin# report on the car shows one owner and no history of damage, accident or mechanical problem. It has just under 20,000miles and the body/interior seems to be in good condition. Why would it be so cheap? What should I look out for?

acura_integra asked:
Okay so me and this guy both agreed to trade cars here in Texas. We both signed titles over to each other, and signed Texast Title Application sheets. We both didn’t sign anything else, no contracts, warranties or anything! We both test drove each others cars no problems ’til tonight he calls me and says the car is having problems. Now in all honesty I’ve never had a problem with it, until he out of nowhere calls me up and says something. Since we just signed everything and both had the right to inspect it, etc. Can he legally take my his car back and me be responsible?

Silver asked:
I bought a used car 6 months ago and I have already replaced the tires, battery and fuel lines, now the transmission is out, fixing the car is costing me more than the car cost.

Tommy asked: I ordered a new car on ebay from a dealership in another state and its supposed to arrive today. Before I start driving it too hard or take it on the expressway I want to make sure I’m not getting a lemon.
Aside from looking for scratches, what should I do to make sure everything is as it should be?

newyorkcitygirl79869 asked:
We bought a 2007 VW Rabbit, clutch burned out at 14,000 and came back to us with alignment problems, CD player has scratchy sound quality at times, sales/service/customer relations departments are rude and refuse to work with us and we just want to sell the car without damaging credit. Still a big loan to pay off, as car was financed for 7 years when we bought it. Haven’t even owned the car a full year! Any suggestions?

mantastic86 asked: I have a beautiful 1992 lincoln continental with 160k miles(body and leather interior is mint condition) everything works. Except the engine knocks and the electrical system is draining the battery. I cant sell it! have it for sale at $800. I put best offer and my phone number on windshield. Its been sitting at a Firestone for 3 months now. I’ve received about 100 phone calls asking about my car. All I get are tire kickers and flakes. When I am honest and tell them the engine knocks people run! I bought the car when the engine knocked and it didnt scare me. I had no problems with it. I drove it for a year with no problems. I finally bought another car so I dont need it anymore.
So how do I sell my car fast? Should I write engine knocks on the window? However, I may not get any calls. Or should I lower price? How would you guys advertise my car and for what price? I need to get this thing sold. Im moving out of state next month. Your honest opinion would be grateful.

~Superbad~ asked:
I am trying to buy a car from someone who has a Power of Attorney over his wife while she is in Iraq(they are both in the Armed Forces). I was told all of the sudden not to even waste my time because there are too many problems that could be encountered when I try to title it in KS. Is this true? If I have an Original copy with the indented seal will that suffice or will I still have problems getting this inspected and titled?
