Q: CHEAP MUSCLE CARS l?
hello there…im looking to buy some muscle cars for projects me n my cousins work on them well mainly him….and we want to know if theres any kind of muscle cars for sale cheap under $5000 like camaros,chevelle’s,mustangs , rivieras mostly!!…..etc

I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES SO CARS CLOSE PREF….

A: There aren’t many options that will be in good-running, cosmetically-okay shape for that kind of money.

One way is to take any car you like, and look for the less-popular relations to it. You want a Camaro? Look for a Firebird (newer Firebirds are more expensive than Camaros, but the first generation is reversed…blame Smokey and the Bandit and Knight Rider). Mustang? Get yourself a Cougar.

A Dodge Dart might be a good option.

Or you could look at more modern muscle cars. (There ARE cars that revived the segment in the 80s) Fox Mustangs are that cheap. As are 2nd-4th generation Camaros. Also there’s the Ford Thunderbird/Mercury Cougar/Lincoln Mark VII and Mark VIII. Grand Nationals are starting to climb in price, but there’s a lot you could do with a regular Regal or Monte Carlo or Grand Prix or El Camino. One thing to remember: torque didn’t take NEARLY the hit that horsepower did when emissions regulations hit.

Q: Where is a good used car dealership is austin, TX?
I need to buy a sedan car for under $5000 that I will pay for in cash. I have been looking under craigslist but not that many car have been for sale on there. I want to go to a used car dealership that it fair priced. I live in Austin, TX. thanks all!

A: You know most car lots with used cars are untrust worthy and cars are in bad condition. Try major car lots for their trade-ins they usually won’t sell a car if it won’t last 10 years and offer some kind of warrenty and there repairs are usually gauranteed. For five thousand you should be able to walk away with a good car and you would deal with the best professionals and know who your buying from. So maybe try contacting them and see if they have used trade-ins you could purchase.

Q: buying a car without co signer at 18?
Im trying to buy a 2008 Toyota corolla its $15,000 im only 18 i have like $1000 for down payment, and thats it for right now..i talked to one of the sales rep and he said i need to have a co signer or make $1500 a month because i have no credit. i dont make near $1500 a month and my only co signer i could use is my dad but he has bad credit. whats the chances of me gettin the car? should i just try a dealership with cars under like $5000? whats the chances then? thankyou ahead of time

A: In this credit market, you have almost no chance at all of getting this car. And if you did somehow manage to, the insurance bill would probably be close to your car payment.

Go get a used car for about $5000. If you finance it for 2 years, the payments would be around $300, I’m guessing. When it’s paid off, you can drop the insurance to just liability coverage if you want, and save a few more dollars. Drive it until the wheels fall off, or until you get through college, and have a decent job. Then you can consider a new car.

Q: Where do I stand having sold a used car that has gone wrong?
Hi guys. I was just wondering if someone could give me some advice.

Basically, I am a recently established motor dealer and sold a 2001 car for £5000 and unfortunately after 3 weeks the owner called me to say there was a fault with the gearbox.

All of the cars I put a good quality aftermarket warranty on and this particular one covered a value upto £2000 including labour. I advised him to go to his local garage (having spoken to the warranty company) who would fix the fault and claim on the warranty. He then said he couldnt find a garage he trusted – so as the car was not running very well and he lived 3.5 hours away I paid for a transporter to recover the car to me 4 days later (the earliest they could do).

The car was taken to a gearbox specialist who failed to diagnose the fault having had it for 4 days. I then arranged for another garage to have the car. They diagnosed the fault and contacted the warranty company who said that as it was such a large repair, would require their inspectors to come and diagnose the issue.

Basically, the warranty assessor took nearly 3 weeks to come out, having cancelled 3 appointments and after continual chasing, when they eventually turned up confirmed that the fault was what the garage stated. They went away to compile their report, and 3 days on and lots of chasing I decided to complain to the warranty company. The company are represented by a well known tv personality who I wrote to, and he personally got involved the next day, authorising the work and supported me saying they assessors have been useless.

Meanwhile, I received a letter from the owner of the car trying to reject it under the sale of goods act. I spoke to trading standards who told me I had an opportunity to repair the car given he owned the car for 3 weeks and covered over 1000 miles and he wouldnt be able to reject. I wrote back to him stating that he had accepted repair and this was being processed. He insisted then that trading standards were on his side etc.

Meanwhile, we sourced a brand new gearbox for the car as well as several other parts that were not really needed but made sense to replace. Instead of using reconditioned parts (which by law was all that was required), we decided to pay the extra and have new ones put on so that he had a decent guarantee. The car had only covered 35,000 miles by the way and is 8 years old.

Anyway, i have sinced received a 2nd letter demanding a full refund within 7 days or he wants to take legal proceedings.

The issue is, trading standards said a reasonable time period must be tolerated and its just over a month now off the road – not helped by the warranty company’s 3 week time to inspect, but this was out of my hands. Given that the work is around £3000 all in, the last thing I wanted to do was complete the work and invalidate the claim without inspection. I explained this to trading standards and asked how long was acceptable…and to quote they said ‘how long is a piece of string’ but did also say that as it was a major part of the vehicle, a longer period of time must be tolerated, particularly with a warranty company involved.

The gearbox was going to be 5 day delivery but I personally went and collected this so it could be fitted the same day. It then emerged that as it was a new part a new transfer box was needed too….which tomorrow im driving to manchester for in order to get it fitted quickly by the weekend.

Im at my whits end to be truthful and have spent a lot of money and time getting this finalised. I genuinely just want to the guy to have his car back.

I wrote back to him stating the car will be finished by tomorrow and included a lot of facts including a detailed log from the warranty company stating dates etc. of correspondence, emails from the celebrity stating they caused the delay, etc.

Just wondered if someone could offer some advice? ultimately, im an honest guy and have not dodged/dived the issue at all. I reported it from day 1 and even took the work on myself and paid £350 to have the car recovered. I would really like to know where I stand legally.

Many thanks for your advice

A: As the fault was obviously internal you had no way of knowing that it existed even if it was faulty or about to go wrong.
In taking the guarantee the buyer accepted that expensive unknown faults could occur with the vehicle from the time it was driven away.
If it was a preexisting fault that you had hidden in some way then the buyer would have a case – clearly they do not.

It is possible that the gearbox was damaged in the 3 weeks that it was used since you sold it and there is no way either you or they could prove or disprove that.

You seem to have taken all possible measures to get the car sorted and have been let down by the warranty company.

I suggest that you reply to the customers 7 day notice and make the points detailed above and keep a copy of the letter in case of further action. I would also write to the warranty company and ask them what compensation they propose to pay both you and the customer for the postponed appointments and the time taken to deal with what should have been a straightforward matter. Do not accept liability in any way and make the point that any costs you have met were a good will gesture and no more.

The only course of action open to the customer would be to go to a small claims court. I believe if consulted a solicitor would advise them not to do it as they would most likely lose. If they did do it and win then all they would get would be a County Court Judgement which is barely worth the paper it is written on being virtually unenforceable.

Good luck with that and stand your ground.

Q: Question about financial matter?
I have two vehicles and two car notes because I signed for a loan for what is now an ex-fiance and she decided she didn’t want the payment or the car anymore. I’m unable to maintain both cars and payments (been doing it since June 07) along with my credit card debt (which is under $5000 but still a monthly expense) and other expenses without going broke on payday and not sure what to do. Should I do a voluntary repossession on one of the cars, file bankruptcy, or another option? I’ve tried advertising both cars for sale but no luck because of the money I need to pay off the car loans. Not sure what to do, but I don’t think it’s worth a bankruptcy because I don’t have that much debt outside of the two cars. Any advice??
I should add. I’m not trying to get out of paying anything, but money for food would be a nice luxury ;-)

A: I am so sorry you’re going through this… I would try to get rid of the car with the most equity (value greater than or equal to what you owe). I know you’ve tried selling them, but maybe try a used car lot? If you can make enough to just pay off one of the loans that should help.

Q: which of these cars is the best deal for the money?

Q: How to convince parents to get me the car i want?
Ok, so my dad has been working on cars his whole life. He mostly deals with cosmetic aspects of the car but occasionally deals with some stuff under the hood, so he thinks whatever he says about a car is right. I turn 16 soon and we are starting to look for my first car. He keeps telling me he can get me a used civic for like $3000 to $4000. But I think I am entitled pick out the car as long as I am considering my price range and how reasonable it is. I have been doing research on this for over 4 years and im not about to let it all go to waste. What I really want is a nice used 2000 BMW 3 series convertible. About every other week i come across a nice one for sale for about $5000 with about 100000 miles and no issues. He thinks BMW means rich people. He doesn’t even consider it for 10 seconds, and when i tell him the facts like im in a debate he just ignores me. I mean with a luxury car you get luxury safety. Even though it is a convertible it is a very safe car to drive and for the price it is practically a steal.

So i need someone to help me with ideas to convince them to get me it. i already tried the debate approach and offering to pay half. thanks for the help

A: Your dad wanting to buy you a Honda is a good sign that he hates you.

Those things sound like GIANT FART CANNONS if you try to race or modify them in ANY way. Embarrassing to say the least.

Explain to dad that driving a FART CANNON means a lonely life without women or friends and that the BMW doesn’t have the FART CANNON sound and the ladies LOVE IT…..

Q: I found a 2006 Honda odyssey & 2007 Toyota Sienna for $5000 on Craig list is this a scam?
The add says
Hi,
I am selling this car because my battalion has been sent back to Afghanistan and don’t want it get old in my backyard. The price is low because I need to sell it before December 03. It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn’t been involved in any accident…I do have the title , clear, under my name. The Sienna has 29,000 original miles VIN# 5TD BA22C66S075476.
It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad $5,000. The car is in Lakewood WA, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. Let me know if you are interested, email back.Below is the car details and also link with more photos,if the link doesn’t work,copy and paste it into a new browser page.
Regards!!! LT.CMDR Lisa Scott
& another one that is about the same wording.
They both said I need to go to eBay Safe Pay policy the money must be sent first to an eBay agent and will be kept safe until the buyer receives and inspects the vehicle.As soon you receive and inspect it you must contact eBay again and ask them to release the funds to me.If the vehicle is not as described, it will be shipped back on my expense and receive your money back in the next 2 working days…so,if you are still interested please send me your complete name and complete address in order to open a case with Safe Pay.
They keep saying that the arrangements have already been made & it is is a warehouse in Seattle.

A: Yes its a scam.

I have offered cash, even a little more than what they were asking for.. They still want to go through ebay. Then why dont they sell it there.

There a lot of these in CL, selling Cars, Trucks, Harleys etc. They all have a long story to go with it, but never want to get paid in cash, always ebay, and always wanted to ship the vehicle.

Dont waste your time with these scammers.

Q: Am i dealing with a car scam over craigslist?
I found this really nice 2004 Nissan Altima on craigslist listed in PORTLAND, OREGON, only $3200; so i emailed this dealer about it and said “hello, im really interested in this car, where is it located at?” she then emailed me back saying “Hello there,

I’m writing you regarding my Nissan Altima. The car is still for sale. My asking price for the car is $3200. The car is currently located in Ellwood City, PA. It is a 2004 model loaded with everything. Currently the car has 40,890 miles, the VIN# is 1N4BL11D44C117842 . The car is very well maintained, it has just been completely serviced. The engine runs very good and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly. I’m selling the car because I don’t have time to enjoy it due to my job (I work as a casino dealer on a cruise ship) plus that I have some financial problems and I need money very soon. I have to tell you that I’m currently at work and I left the car in Pennsylvania at the shipping company, it’s already packed and waiting to be shipped anywhere. If you decide to purchase it, you will receive all the documents of the car (owner’s manuals, keys, clear title, bill of sale) in order to register it under your name. Regarding the payment, I will use only eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection program. If you are interested, this is how eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection program works:
1. You send me your full name, complete address (I need for shipping) and your phone number.
2. I open a transaction with eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection.
3. eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection will contact you with an invoice regarding our transaction.
4 You will send the payment to eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection and they will notify me to ship the vehicle to your location.
5. After you will inspect/drive the vehicle and decide to keep it, eBay Vehicle Purchase
Protection will forward me the funds and the deal is done.Basically, eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection will secure the funds until you will receive and inspect the car. You will have 5 days inspection period. If the vehicle is not like described, you will have to ship it back on my expense and they will give you a full refund. This way, you will be able to inspect the vehicle before committing to buy it and I know that you have the money and you aren’t just fooling around. I will wait your reply.” when reading this, you will find out that it’s in ELLWOOD CITY, PA; i live in PORTLAND, OR. I still thought, hmm what a good bargin though. I then googled how much it would cost to ship this car, and the total came out to $1000. Which is something i don’t want to pay for. So i emailed this person back saying “so if i get this car i have to payy 1000 dollars to ship it here, and if i don’t like it, i have to ship it back which is going to be another 1000 dollars, so ill be out 2000 dollars? She emailed me back saying ” don’t think you need to worry about the shipping because eBay quoted me with a great price offer and I decided to include the shipping in the car’s price. The car will arrive in 3 days to your location. Also the returning back of the car is included, I decided to pay for that because I know that this will not be the case, you will love the car.

Please let me know what you decided about my car.
Thank you,
“
I then decided to look online and see how much 2004 nissan altimas are, and it was from about 5000-10,000 depeneding on quality, this car looks GREAT, and there are only 40,000 miles on it. So i don’t see why it would be cheaper, and the fact that this person said they’re including the shipping in the car price, so if to ship it here it cost $1000, then shes actually just selling the car for $2,200
Am i dealing with a scam?

A: Yes, it’s way too obvious.
1) ALL offers to ship cars are 100% fraudulent.
2) Car is priced WAY below market value. If she is really having financial problems, she could sell the vehicle to any dealership for $4,000 and not worry about shipping.

The only problem is that she doesn’t have this car.

Do yourself a favor and never give money to anyone until you have fully inspected and test-driven the car. Otherwise, you are just setting yourself up for being taken advantage of.

Q: 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT worth it???
I have found a 1995 3000GT for sale. It is the base model and the only option on it is the black leather interior. The car has a brand new motor, transmission, clutch, and $3000 paint job. The motor and tranny was replaced because the original owner bent valves and broke the timing belt. Also the clutch was replaced because it slipped. It was painted because the lady who I may buy it from did not like the forest green color on it. So she painted it canary yellow. The new motor, tranny, and clutch only have under 2000 miles on it. The title is clear. It is for sale for $5000. She is only selling it because she is clearing out alot of her collection because now she has to pay the bill of an 06 Vette. They are also including the warranty they got on the new parts in it. Is this a steal or something i should beware of??? Also do 95 3000GT have alot of problems i should be aware of??

A: I just bought a 1995 3000gt base model in december for $7500. The car is in excelent shape with very low miles. I feel as if i got a great deal on it. Since this car that you’re looking at has a new motor, transmission, and clutch, and paint job (canary yellow, which i think looks wicked awesome), and the seller is only asking $5000 for it, i’d say hit that deal up right away. It sounds like the owner drove the car very rough. From what i hear, it is recommended that the timing belt is changed every 60,000 miles or so. For some reason the stock timing belts on the 3000gt’s don’t last very long. So it doesn’t really surprise me that the timing belt broke…but bending valves is ridiculous. I’d get a carfax report on it and see if that turns out good. If it does, i’d have to say go ahead and buy the car. The only real problem that i know of with the 3000gt is what i mentioned before about the timing belt going bad. Other than that, it is an amazing car and REALLY fun to drive. So if you decide to buy the car, i’m sure that you won’t be disappointed. Also if you get the car, i’d suggest joining the “3000gt zone” yahoo group. It’s a great place to get answers from fellow 3000gt owners. Have fun!

Q: Is this car worth buying? (Mitsubishi Eclipse)?
Hi I was thinking about buying a used car and was wondering whether its worth it. I really want to buy a Mitsubishi Eclipse year 2000 and up but I only have a $5000 budget…I know this is very low. But I have looked and found a lot on sale for 5k and under but they have a high mileage. Is it worth getting an eclipse with about a 100,000 miles on it or more?

A: One of the keys to pricing a car is to effectively rate the car as the price will vary widely based on condition and mileage. Mileage is pretty obvious. You should base condition on a Carfax report (which would also help catch any odometer fraud) and your own review. Before you buy your final step should be an inspection by a qualified mechanic – but that’s too expensive to do on every car you look at.

There are a bunch of places to check car prices on the Internet. NADA guides is one – but since they are owned by the car dealers association I never recommend them. KBB is another. Driverside.com is a new site and they have a couple of extras – great data showing price based on mileage; DriverSide Estimate where they search actual listings to find what cars are actually selling for in local markets; and estimates for trade in pricing.

http://www.driverside.com/value-your-car/mitsubishi-eclipse-2000-3130-6499

Also take a look a the DriverSide cost of ownership – service, gas, insurance and even depreciation to see how the price will drop over time. I find that most folks look at the one time sales price – not the ongoing costs which continue long after you buy your car.
