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: What are some cheap fast cars for sale?
Only requirements,

0-60 under 7.5
cost under 5000 dollars

Throw me some ideas guys, Please dont put Foxbody or Camaro, I already know those.

A: You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – carinsurance.deep-ice.com

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

Q: Help me make a car purchasing decision (long question)?
In this economic climate I’m not eager to take on a new debt (my only current debt is a student loan), but my 01 Civic is reaching a point that I’ve realized I probably should bite the bullet. My car (black 2001, mid trim model with 64K) has been having transmission issues for the past few years and it’s now apparent my torque converter is going. After researching the likely problem, I’m finding that a lot of 01 or 02 Civics have transmission problems and that replacing the torque converter, or even replacing the whole transmission doesn’t always solve the problem. Plus, she’s looking a little beat up and I would love to have key-less entry and some other basic options. But I don’t know what to get.

I want something that’s a good value, reliable, safe, and has a sunroof. I know that last one isn’t a feature that makes financial sense, but I work freakin hard for my money, live in the sunshine state, and spend enough time in my car that I really think I deserve this. I’ve looked at a lot but have focused on the Honda CRV, Toyota Rav4, and Mitsubishi Outlander. I want a small SUV so that I can sit up higher in traffic (and would only purchase another sedan if it was ridicuously cheap…with they’re not). I like the look of a Highlander or the older model Honda Pilots and I’m not averse to buying used, but I really don’t know what I can do.

As for price, I really need to keep it under $300/month. I’ve got excellent credit and can qualify for a credit union loan as low as 3.1%. However, this is for a new loan at a teaser rate, so depending on my timing and what I buy, it could be as high as 4.5%. I can afford more than $300, but I don’t want to be one of those people who spends so much and I realistically want to keep my monthly payment at $275. Every dollar above that makes me feel like I’m spending too much. I’ve calculated the blue book on my 01 Civic and I know I could make more in a private sale, but I’ve never done that and I’m worried about getting scammed. Also, I’m an extrodinarily busy teacher and don’t think I have the time. In a perfect world for a trade in I could get $6500 for my baby, but with her cosmetic scratches and dings, some engine work needed, plus the fact that she’s been in two accidents (no major damage, but accidents just the same) I am telling myself I will only get $5000.

All of the car matching profiles (CarZen, etc) say that my ideal car is the CRV or the Rav 4. However with the price I want to pay, I can’t afford new versions of those with the moonroof option. And I would have bought used by now but I’m seeing new listed at $25k with used and 35,000 miles being listed at $24,700. I know there is room for negotiation, but I’m also scared of getting something used with the risk for issues later in its life. I mean, I bought a Honda new thinking it would never have issues on me, but the dang thing started shuddering at 45K. If I was to buy used, I wouldn’t even consider it unless it was certified and had some type of warrenty remaining.

So my questions are this:
Should I try to negotiate a new Honda or Toyota at my max price range without the sunroof?
Should I try to buy a cheaper vehicle (Suzuki, Mazda, etc) new b/c they have a cheaper price and a longer warrenty?
Should I buy a used? Obviously I know this would save me more, but the worry factor for me is huge. I’m willing to pay a little more for peace of mind, but I don’t want to be stupid. If I buy used, what realistically would $275 a month + $5000 down get me?

A: I would get off the Honda/Toyota high horse. You see what happened to your current indestructable, holier-than-thou ricewagon.

The Chevy Equinox is as good as any and may fit your requirements at a lower price. Other than that I’d look hard at negotiating. Dealers are hurting I’m sure you know and you should be able to get 2-3k off sticker easy. Look at the papers religiously as well. Most of the time a good sale will beat any negotiating you can do. It’s all in timing.

Q: Need help finding the perfect truck to buy?
I am not looking for a new truck. I am looking for a cheaper truck, preferably one I can buy or bargain down to under $7000. I see a lot of trucks out there for sale these days for $5000 so it shouldn’t be too hard. Here is what I want: No Ford, I don’t do Fords, good pulling capacity, and here is the biggie for me….I need a backseat for my kids I prefer a true 4 door kind, not those little half door things with a backseat that is too small to really realistically put a couple car seats in. There are so many options that I need help narrowing it down with people’s opinions. Thanks.
Thank You! I don’t mind going down to 200 for year
messed up, year 2000
K: I was on Edmunds.com looking at it and a lot of people are saying the brakes are bad….did you have issues with that??
also, what is the exact model name of the truck? Is it a Titan extended crew cab or just a crew cab?

A: Nissan Titan Crew Cab. It has an excellent towing capacity (over 9000 pounds!) and can be found for a steal these days. One as new as a 2007 might be found for $14,000 which has the potential to be miraculously negotiated down to $7000. Some stories here on Yahoo! Answers suggest that this feat is not impossible. If you don’t mind a 2005, you could easily get it for $7000.

Edit:
I forgot to mention the backseat. It’s quite impressive. Take a look for yourself: http://trucks.about.com/library/graphics/12_titan_crew_gal.jpg

I never really had to test the brakes under extraordinary circumstances but they were fine otherwise, all things considered (it is a heavy truck). A good friend purchased a 2005 Titan King Cab (the one with 2 full doors and 2 partial doors) in 2005 and hasn’t worn through his brakes yet. He doesn’t tow much more than a jet ski or two during the summer so that may contribute. My gut says the brakes are hit-or-miss and your best bet is to test drive and buy from a dealership since they cannot legally sell a car with bad brakes.

The full name of the one you would want is the Nissan Titan Crew Cab 4×4 (and the trim level: LE/SE/XE/etc.). The Titan is available in something like 14 different trims (including the King Cab and all of its variants) so you can get pretty specific. If you want the longer 7′ bed then it is just called the long bed. You could wind up looking at a description like, “Nissan Titan Crew Cab LE 4×4 Long Bed.” What a mouthful!

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.
