I just changed the battery and it turns over and started for just a few
seconds.

My 2001 Honda with 40,000 miles has developed a smell of gasoline. Not
strong to seem dangerous, but strong enough to be bothersome.
This developed during a prolonged cold spell, in case that might have
something to do with it.

2004 Nissan Quest, advertised at 19city/26hwy.  Now I know this is under
ideal conditions, but I think actual mileage should at least be close to
this.  I was getting ~16mpg a month ago when I complained to the dealer, and
he said it's because of the cold weather.. and relatively, ...

    Because of the DMV is such an evil entity, it tries to charge you
sales tax on used cars.  This is completely insane.  No used items
should be charged tax.  I know even used guns bought at gun shops do
not carry any sales tax.  The DMV is just pure evil incarnate.

I like the looks and have heard lots of good things about the Mercedes
560SEC.  But with such a limited production run, if they are truly
"keepers," why is the used car market flooded with them?
There are at least 5 on eBay right now.  

Hi everyone.  Help is appreciated.  I have a 2003 Chevy Impala with about
64k miles.  I was told that I have an intake manifold leak that, if left
untreated, could cause antifreeze to mix with oil that could get into the
engine and destroy the engine.  Estimated cost: $400.

Hi, this is also posted to rec.autos.makers.saturn
I have a 2000 Saturn SL with a high idle problem and a constantly lit
'check engine light'. It only does the high idle intermitantly, when the
engine is warmed up. Sitting at a stop light, while in neutral, the RPM

Suppose a person's criteria for selecting a car to buy were only these:
1. Must be reliable, requiring minimal repair so long as regular required
maintenance is performed
2. Must be presentable (but need not impress)

I have the opportunity of ordering either a 2005 Chev Impala­ or a
2005
Pontiac Grand Prix as a company vehicle.
Done some reading and appears they both have similar perform­ance

If anyone has a Carfax acct could you please pull a report for this
1992 Volvo 740 wagon I am looking at? I do not really trust the dealer
that has this listing.
Thanks.

Thanks.

?  I did go to snopes and it is true. What else will thieves

Whenever I go online and search for car prices, I need to enter the zip
code first. Does it mean different places have different car prices?
Why it that?
please advise. thanks!!

My 1991 Cutlass goes through gas like crazy lately with no smell of gas
or apparent leaks. I  recently replaced  the exhaust manifold and the
spring bolts do not form a perfect seal. Could this be tricking the
computer into running a super rich mixture. I have noticed this problem

Does anyone out there know how Kelly, NADA, etc. come up with their
used car prices?  Do they use some formula, statistics, actual pricing
data, some combination?
Thanks,
