I live in Washington and just bought a blood-red 2009 Pontiac G6. I’ve tried walmart, fred meyer’s, and autozone for car accessories but I’m not finding a wide or impressive enough selection of car mats/steering wheel/seat covers. I want something fairly flashy (I’m a twenty year old guy who just bought his first car.) Does anyone know any good stores in the Seattle area or any websites that could set me up right?
I have been searching for the right car. My dream car above others is a 72′ Charger, but I’m flexible. My uncle and I have been wanting to rebuild a car ever since I told him I was interested in learning about cars. Here is a list of the following makes:
-oldsmobile(1968-1972)
-chevrolet(1967-1985)
-dodge(1967-1974)
I would like anything that is not too big of a project just minimum rust and cosmetic damage we can handle anything under the hood. I don’t want a ground up project just yet. This is going to be my first car so if I have to just throw some seat covers on and roll the windows down I don’t mind. My uncle is a mechanic, so he knows his cars. If you know anyone who can help please email me back at gunther92@ymail.com, and we are located in North Texas.Thank You!!
Details about the car are below. We have priced the car at 0. The Blue Book private party price is 5 and Edmunds private party price is 7. We’ve had 5 responses – one person stood us up. We have responded to 3 people and have had no communication after that. I’m waiting for an email from one person who found our ad on Craigslist. Is our price too high for a car in this condition?
New parts:
*New tires & front end alignment (November 2008 – only 1500 miles on the new tires!)
*New radiator (Summer 2008)
*New serpentine belt (Summer 2008)
*New brakes (March 2009)
*New top motor mount (March 2009)
Good things about this car:
*Low insurance cost (we’re in our early 20s and we pay /month)
*Easy to drive – great first car!
*Very roomy
*Cool seat covers – appropriate for guys or girls
*Low mileage for a car this age (approximately 7500 miles per year)
*Good gas mileage (26 hwy, 18 city, 21 combined)
*Large trunk
*Spare tire and jack take up no room in the trunk!
*Has a great CD player and speakers
*Rear window defogger
Bad things:
*Leaks coolant
*Leaks transmission fluid
*AC doesn’t work properly – likely needs freon
*Heater doesn’t work
*Small dents on right side of car and on hood
*Paint scraped off on rear bumper – my aunt accidentally bumped the back with her car
*Right side door creaks as it opens – door works fine, though
*Headliner is hanging slightly – doesn’t affect driving or anything
*Back driver’s side window doesn’t close fully, needs a new clip
On the original ad, we also have pictures of the car. Here are the pictures I have included with the ad:

Hi I am looking at this car one ebay and I want to see what you guys think would you buy this?
This will be my first car!
Hello, Selling my 2003 Acura RSX.Automatic transmission, 4cyl V-Tec engine. Silver exerior, black interior.It runs and drives great. Engine starts immeadiately every time, transmission shifts smoothly and consistantly, gets Excellent gas milage. Oil changed every 2500 miles. Aftermarket 18" wheels. touch screen CD and DVD player. HID/Xenon Headlights. I’ve driven this car to and from work everyday for the last two years and never had a single problem with it, other than a flat tire. I have paid the car off and have the title in hand, It is an Arkansas title with the remarks of "previous damage odometer discrepancy" The title says 49,730 which is within 100 miles of what the gauges said when i bought the car, it now has 82,632 . I backed into a car in the walmart parking lot and messed up the paint on the rear bumper, its not going to fall off or anything, but needs to be repainted. Drivers seat is torn on the bottom. Also car has rock chips on the bumper from the highway driving. power windows, cruise control, air conditioning, heater, cd/dvd player all work great.
the car looks great in the pics
and the price is 4000?
Thank You!
I’m interested in buying a used 2001 Tacoma Limited SR5 pkg. w/ 120k for ,500. Im not too enthused about the mileage but it is a Toyota. It is automatic V6, has leather seating, dual stainless steel exhaust, chrome step-up bar, and a fiberglass bed cover, and really well taken care of it and still looks almost new. Timing belt changed at 95k. I’m 21 looking to buy my first car. Some established credit for the past 2 1/2 years, mainly credit cards. I’m just looking for some opinions on if it would be ok to buy a used car, this one in particular, or if it is better to buy new with a first-time buyers program or something like that and get a car with lower miles.
According to kelley the 4wd limited double cab books at about ,000. And I want the truck for camping, dirt bike, etc… I live in Colorado.
At the local dealership they have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with 200,000 miles on it, its 95.
I havnt looked at it in person but the pictures shown seem to be very nice, the seats look a little worn but nothing a seat cover couldnt fix.
I believe its the SE model.
This car would be my first car, I am 16.
Do you think this car will hold up for 6-12 months or so?
Or do you think its a waste of money?
Also what are the chances of me getting a better price?
Is it worth 1695?
Thanks!!
Here is the link to the car if you want a better look!!!!

It’s my first car & it’s not that bad.
Basically my parents said that since it wasn’t way expensive they would let me do some stuff to it.
So I was wondering-
How much would a paint job be for a 1978 ford fairmont two door?
I’m thinking about getting it pink or purple or red…
It runs totally fine it doesn’t have AC and the inside seats kind of are cracking and there isn’t a radio-
But I’ll just roll the windows down-
And get seat covers,
And put in a radio/CD system all easy fixers right?
How much do you think it would cost me to do all that and get a paint job?
Haahaa probably too much,
I’ll probably just get all that other crap later.
Anyways-
Thankss!
no hello kitty, lol.
i have a tinkerbell window decal that has tinkerbell and right beside her it says"psssst….your just got passed by a girl" and i’m getting a hawaiian lei to put on my rear view mirror. any other cute i deas, i don’t like seat covers. and essential things that would be smart to put in my car besides car oil and jumper cables :]. thanks. oh my car is a 2009 toyota corolla sport and its my first car, i’m really excited about personalizing it. i just need some cute ideas. thanks
My brother took my car while I was at a BBQ, He was slightly intoxicated and had his 8 year old daughter in the back seat, He ended up hitting a parked truck on the road, less than a half mile from my house. My whole right side of my car is gone, My mirror, antenna, side columns, head light, right side of my bumper, and my A frame of my SUV is broken, I couldn’t drive it as if i tried my right tire would of popped off. I had to get it towed. My SUV is a 2006 Jeep liberty. I don’t have insurance on it right now, although I had an insurance card before i got it canceled, which state’s I’m still covered until October 3rd. (which i showed the cop) My dad thinks that my car will just be totaled. I owe more than ,000 on this car. The truck he hit also has severe damage to the back left tail light and broken his A frame in the back as well. The cops were called and luckily the cop that came was really nice and waited for me to get to the scene. He cited my brother for failure to control and my brother got really lucky he didn’t get a ride to the police station. My brother just got a DUI less than 2 weeks ago. My dad said that the money for my car and the guy’s truck to be fixed is going to come out of my pocket. I am only 19 I do not want to be in debt, this was my first car. I’m pissed at my brother and he has decided he is not going to go to court and he’s going to run so it’s all going to be my responsibility since my brother is a dummy. What do I do? Do i call and get my insurance reinstated and hope they cover it or do i just pay it out of my pocket?
I didn’t have insurance on that car as I have not been driving it since i just moved back to Ohio from Arizona 3 months ago.
Honest answers PLEASE! I’m in over my head.
Is there any way the guy who owns the truck can sue me for the damages? Can I be held responsible?
My brother got a hold of the keys as I am home for the summer and live at my parents house where he also lives. **stupid me**
i didn’t have insurance on it cause i never drove it i have 2 cars!
Hi. I’m a college student and my parents are helping me with purchasing my first car. They are paying for it and I will be paying them back over time. Sounds perfect right? Not quite. I’m very picky about vehicles and our maximum spending range is 00. I live in Madison, WI so the market is fairly limited. My parents say it needs to be within 75 miles so if it breaks down we can take it back to be covered by warranty.
All reasonable but the problem is, like I said, I’m very picky about cars. The way I look at it, this is an investment, and the only car I will be using until I am financially independent. Anyways these are the criteria that must be met:
1) black or silver
2) have a cd player
3) be luxury (power everything, leather seats, heated seats preferred etc.)
4) look nice [the only cars i like are sedans or coupes, cadillac (not catera), bmw, lexus (don't really like ES and no others are readily available in my price range), or mercedes (don't like c-class)]
So, thats a lot of information.
I’ll summarize.
I want a car, ideally a black Cadillac STS with a cd player and heated seats, but it tends to only come in V8.
I actually found a 2003 STS with a V6, but it only costs 00. My parents, and I’m a bit skeptical as well, are convinced theres something horribly wrong with it. Is there a way to get the dealer to be honest? HA! Or is it really that great of a buyers market?!
I search every day on craigslist, cars.com, and the local newspaper.
I either need to convince them a V8 will be acceptable, or find a car that both parties can agree on.
Advice? (Don’t tell me not to be so picky, if I’m spending money, I need to like it!!!)
