Good Morning, I have put a small deposit down on a 2004 Passat GLX Wagon and before I make my final decision I would like your input. What I am curious about is the kinds of things I need to be aware of and look out for with this particular model and year. Up until last week we owned a 2002...

There is a local guy who is selling his OEM wheels off his W8, he wants 400$ for all of them. The wheel faces themselves are in almost perfect condition, no rashes, dents, bends (just some minor scuffing where the lugs are). They roll straight along the garage floor as well. The kicker is the...

I currently have a 1999 Ford Escort ZX2...great car, but with 194k miles and no A/C (I live in South Texas), I'm looking to upgrade my car. I'm trying to keep my budget around $6k (so I won't go wild) and have decided that instead of buying the newest car I could find for that price (like a Kia...
