    Any tips on negotiating price on new cars?

    Do your research on line. Compare models from different manufacturers. Decide which model best suits your needs, then go after it.

    looking at getting a little car

    Funny this topic came up. I have been looking for about a month to get an older economy car to do the same thing. I get about 70 miles a day to and from work. In my rough extimation, the Trac at 19mpg would use about 950 gallons of gas in one year. (Just driving to and from work). If I bougt a...

    stock pioneer on the fritz

    I have a problem with my unit infrequently. Sometimes if I am listening to a CD, it will suddenly switch to a radio station that is not in in any of the memory locations. If it is playing one cd when I stop the truck, it could be playing a different one next time I start it. The problems are...

    Transfer case question

    It is normal for the wiring to be exposed, as long as it is all still bundled. The 4 bolt holes cast into the aluminum are for a counterweight used as a vibration damper. I think on the Sport Trac, the damper is mounted on the front of the transfer case. On my old Ranger, the damper was...

    Flex Fuel?
