| Answer to: Toyota Highlander carfax shows intake manifold gasket replaced by dealer - is that a red flag? | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | Glen_stet | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| A couple things to consider about towing. Toyota has a "towing package", the critical element of which is transmission cooler, as the transmission will get hotter when towing - look for a vehicle with a towing package. The other thing is that a lot of you towing capacity decision depends on not just what you are towing, but where. I towed a 19' fishing boat with my Sienna over a few miles of flat land from storage to dock with no problems. I wouldn't have done long freeway trips or mountains, for that you need something more heavy-duty. You can look up towing capacity online - | |||||

| Answer to: Should I buy a 19-year-old Chrysler Crossfire? | 9Relevance | 1 year ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| In this case, the Chrysler Crossfire is a Mecedes underneath the hood. It utilizes the R170 platform and was badge engineered from a Mercedes to a Chrysler. They didn't make all that many of them. My wife wants one. Haha. I think some people are starting to collect them. That's way too much for the car. The fact they didn't make many of them and it's a low mileage car, the dealer is trying to maximize a potential profit, hoping you won't go to kbb, etc. They don't call them "stealerships" for nothing. | |||||

| What you could do to start would be to get offers from the major used car flippers like Carvana and CarMax. You can get a rough idea of what your car is worth at Kelley Blue Book, though their values tend to be a bit inflated. | |||||
| Answer to: 2008 Hyundai Santa fe gls | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hyundai makes lower quality vehicles and though mechanically better back then, they still have their fair share of odd issues that never end so I would not buy it. Also realize that these cars aren't worth much. When buying a car that old, its a good idea to check out the kbb trade in value tool and not be far off it (private party and set to buying cars is usually inflated). The trade in range is $1700-$2500, and pretty realistic private party value around $3500. I wouldn't pay a dime more than 3000, if that. Its a 14 year old car at this point. When it c ... | |||||
| RE: Car reviewers are unreliable? | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| They could be good resources for driving dynamics, features, ride comfort, etc. and if you liek it you could check it out yourself but this forum is more about reliability and you shouldn't trust the "best" or "worst" car they put on their list. But I find that for example kbb has pretty decent reviews saying the good and bad about lots of things but they don't consider reliabiity because lots of Americans don't consider it but in other aspects they can be a good resources. Plus, you could compare it. If kbb says the ride is harsh, handling is completly dull ... | |||||
| Answer to: 2021 Trailblazer PVC valve location | 9Relevance | 3 months ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Did you test the MAF sensor first to see if it was actually bad? Checked the sensor wiring and the seals on air intake ductwork? Was an OEM replacement sensor installed? (Aftermarket sensors frequently do not work properly.) You might want to check an online Chevrolet parts source, they should have diagrams of parts locations. However, the PCV valve is not listed as a common cause of that code: | |||||
| Answer to: How should I sell my car with an engine problem? | 9Relevance | 4 months ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You might try to advertise it as a mechanic's or DIY'er special needing engine work and maybe get a little more for it, especially if the rest of the car is in good condition. I'm sympathetic - when I was younger and stupider the first car I bought had a bad engine, symptoms temporarily disguised by an unscrupulous seller. Of course this was back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. It was a 1965 Rambler that cost $90. A local mechanic that my dad knew installed a junkyard engine for another $90 that kept it going for a couple of years. (Those were the days. Even allowing for inflation since then, about 10x, it wasn't nearly as much of a loss as you're dealing with.) The 2002 Camry could be OK but it is 24 years old so there may be age-related issues despite the low mileage. Price is a little high. Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com) pegs the fair market price of that car to be between about $3000 and $4000, but a lot depends on the market in your area. Be sure this time to have a mechanic check the car out before you buy it. You don't want to get stung twice! | |||||
| Answer to: 2016 Lexus GX460 for 20K? | 9Relevance | 1 year ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| How do you know it has been in no accidents? Have you had it examined by a mechanic? It sounds like an awful lot of money for a 9-year-old vehicle with over 150K miles. Dealerships are almost always overpriced. You can check comparables for sale in your area as well as sites such as Kelley Blue Book to get an idea of what something like that should go for. | |||||

| Hybrid Battery | 9Relevance | 1 year ago | Recon1234 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2009 toyota highlander hybrid limited trim with 211,000 miles. It does not show any signs of the hybrid battery weakening or starting to fail but i am trying to be proactive in the event if it does. kbb only values the car to be $8000 and that’s how much it would cost me to replace the battery. Toyota dealer doesn’t have programs that help with the cost of replacing except payment plans. Would there be some programs out there to help with the cost before i look into trading it in for a newer model? | |||||

| No matter how rare that mileage is and how good the condition is that's way too much money for that old of a car. Check out the average price of that car and that mileage on websites like kbb and edmunds so you can get an idea (check the price for private party and not dealership) | |||||
| Answer to: Should I buy a 2017 Fiesta? | 9Relevance | 7 months ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If it is equipped with Ford's "PowerShift" automated dual-clutch transmission you'll be buying into a world of hurt. That transmission had an inherently defective design, which Ford knew, but they sold it anyway. This resulted in a huge class-action lawsuit against the company. (If this Fiesta has a manual transmission it could be OK.) As far as price, there is no way we can know what the market is where you live. Search for comparables in your area or go to Kelley Blue Book to get an idea. It is imperative that you get a good mechanic to give any used car you are considering a thorough examination before purchase. | |||||
