    Salvage history, but clean title?

    How to fix this broken release handle?

    From my Nissan Leaf. Replacement from the dealer is over $100. It still works fine, just looks ugly. Don't think putting glue on the edge and putting it together is strong enough. Thinking I should embed a metal piece behind it too with epoxy. Any other options?

    Salvage history, but clean title?

    Probably all states require dealers to disclose salvage history on a car they are selling. If you want to get out of it and they are hesitating, maybe mention that you will be contacting the DMV dealer licensing section for more guidance. The last thing some dealers want is the possibility of an...

    Too bad Renault stopped selling vehicles here, they make some nice looking cars.

    Not a great conversation with my local Infiniti dealer today. Least they were honest.

    You could have bought half a dozen cars from that dealer the last ten years and it wouldn't make a difference. Infinity would cover the repair when under warranty. When out of warranty, the dealer won't no matter how much work they have done for you in the past. My cost on that coupler is under...

    Tax prep woes ...

    I just filed an extension. Will get to it on rainy day, but if history repeats itself, probably not until Oct. 14th.

    Japanese-made compact FWD SUV, no CVT?

    What's the allure of these compact SUVs that similar size sedans don't have? If mechanical simplicity for reliability is primary concern, something electric would be the way to go.

    Edelbrock supercharged Subaru FA20 (Built Block)

    The $20,000 that the last owner spent to build the 450 HP motor in the WRX I had a few years ago, listed 10W40 if I recall. How much have you spent on it?

    Motor hasn’t run in six 6 years

    I'd be more concerned about the condition of the gas in a carburated engine after sitting that long.

    How to make this broken tailight look better?

    I get in a tizzy when people expect a repair to last forever, a cosmetic one at that. What about the a potential $6000 repair when the battery gives out? Or should I provide a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty with a 12 year old car?

    How to make this broken tailight look better?

    Because it's un-American to sell something for profit? Do YOU work for free? News flash. Cars don't last forever. Their parts don't last forever. Am I supposed to tell the buyer about the 10,000 other parts on the car that won't last forever? The light will last longer now that I sealed it from...
