how much should i pay for this car?

How much would you pay for a 1991 Mazda 626? The car has 185,000 miles, no cd or radio (it was taken out and can easily be reinstalled), 4 new tires, nice rims, decent interior, sun roof, power locks don’t work (kind of annoying), ac and heater work, no leaks, new paint job, automatic seat belts (kind of annoying), looks really nice, may need a few minor repairs in the near future, new brakes. I know that Kelly Blue Book sets the price at 1200 but how much would you say this car is worth from what you know…?

Electrical issue on 03 suburban?

Here is my problem. I have an ’03′ Surburban with 65,000 miles on it. I have an intermitten problem when I hit a bump it seems like my vehicle shuts off and turns on momentarily. Sometimes the door locks just cycle and sometimes the check engine light goes on and off, ABS light comes on and off, brake warning light goes on and off, service brake system flashes across my odometer and chimeing like I just started the vehicle. I also lose power for a second. Sometimes the ABS light and brake warning light stays on. My brakes work fine and the brake warning light goes out when I shut off and restart the vehicle, then after running awhile the ABS clears. At least till I hit another bump. Any thoughts where to start? It seems to be a loose electrical connection. Checked ths grounds off of the engine and it isn’t loose. I also had the seat heaters on when it did this and they turned off. No OBD codes

Did I get a good deal on this Corolla? I paid $4600 at a used car dealership.?

Recently bought a 1998 Corolla LE.
-101K miles.
-Carfax showed clean records, reg maintenance and lubing.

1. Power steering, power windows, power mirrors, power doors.
2. New tires, new brakes, outside paint still glossy
3. Cruise control
4. A/c, FM/CD player
5. body colored bumpers, mirrors, door handles, Cloth seat cover
6. dual front side airbags.

I have driven it around 1500 miles already and it’s been nothing but a pleasure. Just fuel ups. It gave 36 to 37 mpg on a recent 400 mile journey. I serviced it at a Toyota dealership and they had a comment of surprise that this was a very well maintainted car – gave clean bill of health.

So is the price still ok?

Need help with this paragraph! Pay Particular attention to the use of Parallelism.?

Revise the following paragraph, improving it without changing its overall meaning. Pay particular attention to the use of parallelism.

Family get-togethers at my house are always a little bit strange. For one thing, these events usually revolve around some kind of task or situation that requires the expertise of my father. Last weekend was a prime example. Saturday afternoon my father and brother arrived hungry. While my father crawled under my truck to inspect the leaking brake line, I heat up the grill, place plates and utensils on the patio table, and start covering the watermelon with ice. After serving everyone bratwursts, lots of tomatoes, and sauerkraut, I light the citronella candles and settled down to eat. The next morning, my dad and brother arrived early, and they were hungry again. I organized the table, usher them to their seats, and start breakfast. A dozen eggs, pieces of bacon, and some bread later, my male relatives were ready to attack the leaky brakes of my Dodge Dakota.
