1998 Ford Escort

Well they said that the bottom of my tranny is buckled, the housing or something like that, and the drive shaft in the tranny is broke.

Thank you for the news, well the man who is fixing my car saids that it is from the person who had it before me had 3 transmissions put in it prior to this, and I am guessing that they didnt know how to drive a stick and it just die on me. Well now I am getting a 2007 ford focus to where if something does tear up I can be blamed for it and the warranty will cover it. Thank you, and let me know if you know anything about the focus.

I would like to know which vehicle you think will be best for me because i am looking something for gas mileage, good cargo room, and that will not break down on me. i am a senior in high school, and iam leaving for college this summer which is a 3hr drive from here and i will be coming back home almost every weekend, which do you think will be the best car for me. i was saying a focus was good because i did own one but i wrecked it becasue some dumbbutt pulled out in front of me.

I am looking at a 2001 saturn l200, is that a good vehicle, generally speaking, and I am getting someone to look at it before I buy, thank you for all ur info

Thank you for your help again but they sold the saturn before I could get to it but they are trying to push me into a 2000 pontiac grand am it is a 4 cyclinder. They said that it is a good car. But I am reading other wise, what you know about them, it has 142k miles on it, and I am worried

They are wanting $4,500 for it. Is that too much for a car. I think it is but I just checking to see if it would be a good vehicle for me. Thank you

It states that it is worth $4280, but I am wanting to get an second voice on this one. I think that I am gonna pass on it

Blue Book Private Party Value
Private Party Value is what a buyer can expect to pay when buying a used car from a private party. The Private Party Value assumes the vehicle is sold "As Is" and carries no warranty (other than the continuing factory warranty). The final sale price may vary depending on the vehicle's actual condition and local market conditions. This value may also be used to derive Fair Market Value for insurance and vehicle donation purposes.
Vehicle Condition Ratings Check Vehicle Title History Excellent
$4,730

"Excellent" condition means that the vehicle looks new, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. This vehicle has never had any paint or body work and is free of rust. The vehicle has a clean title history and will pass a smog and safety inspection. The engine compartment is clean, with no fluid leaks and is free of any wear or visible defects. The vehicle also has complete and verifiable service records. Less than 5% of all used vehicles fall into this category.
Good
$4,280

"Good" condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. There should be little or no rust on this vehicle. The tires match and have substantial tread wear left. A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail. Most consumer owned vehicles fall into this category.
Fair
$3,660

"Fair" condition means that the vehicle has some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional. The tires may need to be replaced. There may be some repairable rust damage.
Poor
N/A

"Poor" condition means that the vehicle has severe mechanical and/or cosmetic defects and is in poor running condition. The vehicle may have problems that cannot be readily fixed such as a damaged frame or a rusted-through body. A vehicle with a branded title (salvage, flood, etc.) Or unsubstantiated mileage is considered "poor." A vehicle in poor condition may require an independent appraisal to determine its value. Kelley Blue Book does not attempt to report a value on a "poor" vehicle because the value of cars in this category varies greatly.
