| [2010 Toyota Corolla S] Need help deciding on buying this car | 18Relevance | 1 year ago | OverlordPumba | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey everyone! I'm from upstate NY and looking to purchase my first car. I need a car to take me to and from work (40mi round trip) and maybe a couple of interstate trips a year or so. I just want it to last me for the next 2-3 years hopefully. I came across this 2010 Toyota Corolla S with 109k miles for $6995 ( ). I am a recent graduate and just started work. I got student loans to pay and I just want a car that won't become a money pit. So I am being very careful with it. I went there and drove it around and it seemed fine. There are tiny scratches here ... | |||||

| Answer to: 1963-64 Chrysler Turbine Car | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | 0192700sALT | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Ford, GM, and Chrysler all had turbine programs at one point in the 60s. Ford had Big Red as mentioned above, first seen at the 1964 World's Fair alongside the Mustang. At 13 feet tall and 96 feet long, it was no Australian land train, but it was certainly longer and heavier than most big rigs on the road today. To haul its massive double trailers around at a cruising speed of 70 mph, it had a 600-horsepower, 955 foot-pound turbine engine that Ford called the 705, hooked up to an Allison five-speed automatic transmission to drive the tandem axles. Originall ... | |||||
| Answer to: Battery: Negative First, Negative Last Set in Stone?. | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | JVin | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I always take negative off first and then positive second. When connecting, I always connect positive first and negative second. This technique is recommended by car manufactures. Example Kia: YouTube videos show mechanics doing different ways. Even Scotty removed positive cable first in his latest video. Watch: Hey Scotty, perhaps you can clarify this for all of us??? Why did you remove positive cable first? | |||||
| Answer to: Which is a good first car? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | InThrustWeTrust | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Start off with searching the forum for ‘first car’. That civic is overpriced. Stick to Corollas & Civics for a good cheap first car. No matter what you buy, have it inspected by a reputed mechanic first, before you buy it. | |||||
| 722.6 Mind boggling limp mode woes | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | GrizzzlyGoat | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... went into the purchase knowing that the transmission had problems. The car would be in limp mode unless it was warm, then it would shift perfectly. I also noticed the torque converter shuttered in any gear in higher RPM, but that wasn't too concerning to me because I knew the fluid needed to be changed. Another note is that the dipstick tube cap was missing, which I later found at the bottom of the plastic covers on the bottom of the car. These transmission issues were not tripping a check engine light or any OBD codes. Fast forward to when we start workin ... | |||||

| Hello everyone, first of all sorry for wording, english is not my first language. As you can tell from my username I've been having some problems with my 2006 Honda Accord. Vehicle Stats: 2006/Honda/Accord Trim: VP 169k miles Automatic (4 cylinders 2.4L engine) No codes (at the moment) TLDR (Too Long Didn't Read): first thing in the morning when you try to start the car it struggles in the sense that you have to crank it longer than usual (3 - 4 seconds) but once it starts the car runs fine, no problem, no check engine light, nothing. But there is a ... | |||||
| Possible Camry hybrid transmission problem | 11Relevance | 2 years ago | SeatonBM | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... Recently I have noticed that when I take my foot off the gas (especially at highway speeds) the car sort of jerks when I let off the gas, and jerks again if I hit the gas a gain... It's hard to describe this accurately, jerk is sort of a harsh word - but it's like it doesn't shift smoothly, though being a CVT, I would almost liken the feeling like as if the CVT transmission "belt" were stretched out, or something, and had some play in it when I let my foot off the gas/re-engage the gas... It makes no noises, and other than this, it drives pretty normally. ... | |||||
| Answer to: Best first used car in Europe | 11Relevance | 5 years ago | InThrustWeTrust | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I’d really go with a Toyota Corolla, after a good mechanic checks it out first, before you buy it. It will be the cheapest to maintain & run the longest out of your list. The S2000 is probably not the wisest choice for a first car for anybody. Get a Corolla, cut your teeth, learn how to fix it. Then when you’re confident in your driving skills, sure, go ahead & upgrade to the car of your choice. But as your first car, get a cheap beater which is inexpensive to fix. All the best! | |||||
| Answer to: New V/S Used Car (My first car) | 11Relevance | 3 years ago | TheRealThing | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Well a good used car is the best choice for first car because not only they cost a lot less to buy, but cheaper to insure and little to no depreciation. Even a 10+ year old Toyota and Honda have tons of life left while being cost less but have a good mechanic to check it out first before buying (Don't buy from dealerships). I wouldn't buy any brand new car it's a waste of money that it's going to depreciate anyway and expensive to insure. If you like the idea of new car smell, modern looks, more technologies and luxuries and if you can afford it go ahead it' ... | |||||
