Cars & Transportation: Buying & Selling: “Question: Buying a car with lemon title?” plus 4 more


Question: Buying a car with lemon title?

buying a car with lemon title?

So i'm buying a 2014 Subary BRZ. It has 1,500 miles. Like new, for less than $22,000. My concern is that the car has a lemon title, according to the records, the car had a check engine line that kept coming back, it was bought back by dealer and declared as a "lemon", they replaced the car ECM and problem seems to be fixed. The dealer is a Subaru dealer, not just any crappy dealer. They told me that the car is in great condition, and I still have subaru warranty which is 3 years or 36,000 miles. And if something were to go bad, the warranty will cover. Do you guys think there's a catch in here? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Question: Is it worth it to perform deep maintenance on old car that I want to sell?

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 08:38 PM PST

I have a 2006 Acura TL with 130,000 miles on it. I recently bought a newer RWD sports car, but originally kept the FWD Acura for the inevitable snow/ice that we see in Dallas for at least 2-3 days/year, and to haul stuff around in on weekends. However it has become apparent that it's not worth the monthly insurance money to keep the Acura, because if you don't drive a car like that everyday, it falls apart quickly. Plus it's a pain in our two-car driveway to have three cars.

Even before I bought the newer vehicle I knew of the following items: leaking front seals that leak about a quarter every 1000 miles, a power-steering pump that needs rebuilding for the third time and needs monthly topping, ODB2 codes warning of an oxygen sensor, and a clutch that is drivable but has seen better days. That's at least $3000 worth of work, on a car that KBB says is worth maybe $5000.

So if I trade the car in as part of an upgrade to my wife's current car, is it worth trying to get all of this work done?

I have wanted a Ford Raptor since it first came out in 2010, now I can just barely afford a nice used 2010 (50k or less miles). I go from saying "F it, I'm only going to live once lets do it", to "Its a lot of money, more gas than my Honda (double) and more insurance, not worth it". This truck was made for me though, I'm 50/50 right now. Talk me into or out of it!

What is a good luxury car under 80K...?

I want a good car that looks nice for 80K or lower. It can be used as long as its in good condition! I live in Orlando Florida so something nearby this city would be very helpful! Unless the place I am buying from delivers!
