| Answer to: Used/New car purchase advice | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| It seems overpriced, very overpriced. They can be great cars but even here in California with the highest prices it costs like 7-8k not 11k. Mileage: 81,188 It isn't low enough to justify the price difference in my opinion Even the infalted kbb value is $7500-$9500 so if you are sold on the vehicle 1. have a mechanic check it out shoot for below 8k. Using kbb, I'd stick to the trade in value which is $6500-$7500 (and honestly even that seems inflated). Just to be clear the car itself is great I saw one at a dealer a couple years back and it was prett ... | |||||
| Answer to: P0171 code | 9Relevance | 5 months ago | Bingray | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I've driven on that code before. Driving on it just depends on how serious the reason for you having it is. How's the car been acting lately? Here's the Kelly Blue Book on it: You can spray the MAF sensor with MAF spray, and get it checked out to see if you need a new fuel pump, fuel filter, etc down the line. It's worth checking out if you're going on that big of a trip | |||||
| Answer to: Fix my Mercury Mariner or buy something else? | 9Relevance | 7 months ago | Glen_stet | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You could buy another, less worn/broken Mercury for that $3500 - Unless there is some overwhelming reason to defy financial logic, I'd wave goodby and look for something else | |||||
| Answer to: Should I buy a 2016 RX350? | 9Relevance | 8 months ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Bear in mind that you cannot rely on Carfax to tell you whether the vehicle has been involved in an accident, flood, etc. As far as price you can check comparables in your area and check Kelley Blue Book to get a rough idea of what they're generally going for. There are sites such as carcomplaints.com where you can find information on failure trends, recalls, and TSBs for a specific model. | |||||
| RE: Should I buy this 20yo Jeep | 9Relevance | 9 months ago | Stevenhumes7819 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| @chucktobias I reviewed the kbb service history. Initially, it was leased for three years, and then it was purchased in 2008. After that, one person owned it from 2008 to 2010, the next owner had it from 2010 to 2013, and finally, it was owned from 2013 until 2025. Currently, it is for sale at a Chevy dealership, suggesting that someone traded it in. | |||||
| Answer to: Fix it or get a new truck? | 18Relevance | 5 months ago | Hixster | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You have other options available to you other than using remans or buying a new Ranger. For example, you could buy another used truck No. A reman engine, 2 turbos and labor would easily surpass half the vehicles value. I wouldn't. KKB's list the top value as $11,000 so the truck isn't worth 16 grand. In good condition with 262K miles the truck is worth, at most, $11,000 . | |||||
| Answer to: 2003 camry not starting | 18Relevance | 1 year ago | fishingandcarsenthusiast123 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Have you checked for other possible causes of this code? Check to see if your fuel filter is clogged. If not pressure test your fuel system (at the rail) and the fuel pump itself. Chances are your fuel pump is starting to fail. You failed to mention the mileage on your car but being that its 22 years old chances are something in the fuel system is worn out. For more info about troubleshooting a no-start condition, see the FAQ | |||||
| Answer to: Should I buy a 2021 CX-5 with 86K miles for $18,500? | 18Relevance | 2 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You can get an idea of the car's market value on a site like kbb.com (Kelley Blue Book). The prices listed tend to be inflated but will give you an idea if what you're looking at is outrageously out in the ozone. Bear in mind if shopping at dealers that dealer asking prices are always the highest you'll find and many will tend to pile on a lot of useless and very expensive extras onto an already inflated price. It is vitally important that you have a good mechanic give any used car you are considering a thorough examination before purchase. (After purchase ... | |||||
| Answer to: Should I buy this 2004 Tacoma? | 18Relevance | 2 years ago | Hixster | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I'd be wary of putting too much money into an older vehicle. A 2004 Tacoma with 160K miles in a standard cab has a full retail price of $7-8 K.. Same year/model etc in the Tacoma Xtra cab limited (top of the line) is worth up to $11-12K. The limited is the most expensive version and yet your seller is asking $2,500 more than full retail on the highest trim level. Here's kbb price range for the limited trim: | |||||

| ... case. After taking it to an independent mechanic they told us there was a service bulletin on the vehicle for the transfer case seal and that’s all he would recommend doing, not the 5k replace they wanted. We had occasional check engine lights come on that was diagnosed as the cam shaft sensors getting to extremes of temperatures and causing the issue. They would come on and off on its own so we thought nothing of it. The vehicle ended up getting towed after it overheated in a parking lot at idle, due to a failed radiator fan. Since the. We’ve gotten ... | |||||

| Answer to: Should I buy this Corolla? | 18Relevance | 3 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Means nothing, except possibly confirming the unusually low mileage. Dealer is a big red flag, especially if a BHPH ("Buy Here Pay Here") bottom feeder. Price sounds too high for an 11-year-old Corolla, even kbb's inflated pricing puts it at least $1000 less for a dealer sale, and that's assuming 80K miles is correct. (At a more typical mileage for a car that age of 125K kbb says about $9K at a dealer.) Don't believe anything the dealer tells you. If you proceed be sure to have a good mechanic examine the car before buying. | |||||

| How to Determine the Appropriate Price of a Vehicle? | 18Relevance | 4 years ago | dltngus215 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... what would be an appropriate price for a car. I always thought that I found a good deal and whenever I show it to my friend or here on the forum, more than often I am told that I am overpaying for the vehicle. So the question is, what is a good way to determine an appropriate price of a car? I used kbb, carfax, edmunds, and all that other websites which gives usually repeated or similar car values. I tried to search about this topic in this forum but seems like this is a topic that was not really discussed about in depth. So, I would like to ask all of you ... | |||||
