BMW HELP: Can you give advice on what to do about cosmetic parts that need to be replaced in my 323ci? Thanks!?

Wet Okole — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:36:34 +0000

Hi My 2000 BMW 323ci has been a fantastic car, but I bought it almost 10 years ago. In 10 years of ownership, I’ve raised a boy since from 2 to 12, so there’s been quite a bit of wear inside! Can anyone tell me what the little sliding door is called that covers the storage spot between the two front seats? Also, can I repair, panit or replace the steering wheel buttons that have had the paint rubbed off, or would that require an entirely new wheel?
Here is a pic of the "little sliding door" between the seats, and also where it was before it came off:

Here, you can see the paint rubbed of the steering wheel buttons:

Thanks so very much for your help! I will choose a best answer quickly!

how much should a ’55 ford pick up be worth?

Wet Okole — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 03:02:18 +0000

Details-
*the good
newer 302 engine
automatic forward tilting hood
has a/c
auto door locks and windows
all glass is perfect
no frame rust
power steering

*the bad
it will need a decent amount of body work…
the paint is chipped allover, and in many places where its chipped off on the bed, the metal that can be seen looks rusty, so im not sure if he’s trying to cover up some other problems…
the interior also lacks. they put it some VERY ugly seats that look like the older volvo seats or something, there is no carpet, just a rubber floor mat, and it doesnt have a headliner.

the guy that is selling it is asking 15000 but i think that is far too much considering all the work that it will need, and the fact that he might have just painted over everything to cover up some of the problems with the body.

what do you think it’s worth?

About how much could I sell my car for?

Wet Okole — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 09:25:37 +0000

I have a 1997 chevy cavalier that needs work. It needs a new heater core and airconditioner. It has 144,000 miles on it and minor rust. It has some chips in the paint. It also has a stereo with good speakers. Sun-roof. The seats are in fair to good condition. There is also a crack in the dash by the speedometer and one under the stereo. What should I ask for a car like this.

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

Wet Okole — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:02:24 +0000

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?

Wet Okole — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:12:41 +0000

hey everyone, i have a 1993 ford ed falcon sedan, it is a ex-military car that was bought at a auction. My dad has had it ever since, it has been treated well, it hasn’t had a great amount of services and i have been the one to change the oil and filters for a year now, i grew up with the car as it has the same age as me, i am currently on my learners and will soon get my p’s. i have spent a lot of money on this car, for paint, door, rear spoiler, gas struts, seat covers ect. and a thing that keeps bugging me is if i should keep it, or get something else? it is a very smooth car to drive and has good power, but it is the engine that keeps eating at me, i keep thinking about the condition of it and wonder if i do something sudden it will destroy the engine. i dont know the condition of the pistons and am constantly worried.. any advice will be greatly appreciated!

I want to change the interior of my car? What would be the cheapest way to do this?

Its a 1995 toyota tercel. I am just going to buy seat covers for the seats but I want the interior to be either black or red. I am trying to save money but I know this wont be cheap. Is there maybe some kind of paint I could possibly get that would change the color for me

Wet Okole — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 14:52:59 +0000

My husband and I are selling our 2001 Dodge Stratus R/T 2D 105K miles V6 3.0L engine, leather seats, power everything, multi cd player IN GOOD COND’T… We owe ,700… kbb is ,500… kbb trade in is ,800. Also, the paint is fading badly (factory defect, not covered by Chyrsler), back end "clunks", A/C makes car run harder, check engine light is on due to malfunctioned air sensor and the alarm has malfunctioned forcing me to unlock the passenger side first.

What should I do… We have a baby coming in December and need a reliable, safe new car (minivan maybe). I’ll be attending nursing school too, which is a 60 mile round trip drive.

We don’t want to trade in, but who is going to want this car?? Any advice??
