Wet Okole — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 11:34:13 +0000

private sale and trade in……the reason why im thinking about it is because since its a v8 it kinda takes a bit of gas….it is a 1990 cadillac fleetwood sixty special has about 116,500 miles..the body has good paint and is in great condition…interior is also great it is leather…there is only 2 minor small rips on the drivers seat…it has cold air and heater with a cd player stereo…powered everything and good tires…..thanks in advanced

Dodge Dart Restoration?

Wet Okole — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 10:28:33 +0000

I have a 1968 Dodge Dart Slant-Six. It was originally a Monotone Yellow Hardtop Coupe. I am thinking about restoring it since I have over 90% of the parts. It has very little surface rust and the trunk is solid. Any tips on what I should do. I think this is a very unique car for a slant-six. The interior will be the most work. I found a website and I calculated it would cost about 00 to get all the materials I need to restore the interior (carpet, headliner, bench seat covers, bench seat foam, back bench seat covers, vinyl top, mats, door panels, and a dash pad).What would be the worth after I restore it to 95-100% originality? I checked NADA and they said if it’s perfect it should be around ,500. The link has a photos and information on my car. I know Dodge Man will see this so I was wondering if you were on this site and if you could post your cars on here Thank you.

I was thinking later on in life, maybe I will throw in an upgraded 360 with a manual transmission (either a 833 or a tko-500/600), a dana 360 and maybe some cragar rims. So far I haven’t found any good suspension kits.

Any advice would be appreciated. I am just a college student trying to learn how to work on mopars.
Yeah, I just sold my other Dodge Dart this week and half the interior in it was great half was ok, but the body wasn’t too straight, the paint was terrible, it had all the holes where the trim was suppose to go (it had no trim), and the engine (273) wasn’t working properly. He basically wanted it for the bucket seats. But I got 00 for it when I spent 00 for both. I know I can sell this one for at least 00

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!

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
