Q: Where is a good used car dealership is austin, TX?
I need to buy a sedan car for under $5000 that I will pay for in cash. I have been looking under craigslist but not that many car have been for sale on there. I want to go to a used car dealership that it fair priced. I live in Austin, TX. thanks all!

A: You know most car lots with used cars are untrust worthy and cars are in bad condition. Try major car lots for their trade-ins they usually won’t sell a car if it won’t last 10 years and offer some kind of warrenty and there repairs are usually gauranteed. For five thousand you should be able to walk away with a good car and you would deal with the best professionals and know who your buying from. So maybe try contacting them and see if they have used trade-ins you could purchase.

Q: if I were to buy a house in Austin What street and bus number near by you recommend?
Theer are a lot of homes for sale in Austin however, I need to know which street and bus number that goes to downtown Austin? I cannot drive a car and so I would have to use the bus to get around Austin. I saw the metro bus schedule online but I jusdt do not know the street very well in Austin. It would be great if you can suggest me a home that is nearest to the bus stop that have the most buses line even if it just one bus number that fine with me but would be nice to get as much bus number to the nearest bus stop within walking distance from home to bus stop that will take me to downtown Austin? thank you Matt

A: I would recommend you talk to a reputable realtor and tell them that you need transportation by bus. Then the houses that they show you will be near bus stops. Some areas of the city have bus stops closer than others. Austin has a very good public transportation system. I lived there previously, am moving back soon and have two grown sons that live there. During a couple of years that I lived there my best friend and I used the Capital Metro bus system a great deal to get around town. You might also check by calling Capital Metro System and asking them to send you a bus schedule and getting a city map and comparing the two. Sometimes you would need to take one bus and transfer to another. If you need to do this in order to get to downtown it is usually easy but a little more time consuming. If you ask the driver for a “transfer” they will give you a slip that will allow you to get on another bus without having to pay the fare again. It is really pretty economical. There are some major lines that run down major streets – depends on which area of the city you live in. I would think that Capital Metro offices would be helpful to you, as well as if a realtor really wants to sell you a house they should be good enough to accomodate you by finding homes that are on good bus routes. There is a great deal of difference in walking 1/2 block to the bus stop of 5 or 6 blocks to a bus stop if it is pouring down rain or if it is 100 degrees outside. The closer the better! There are houses and apartments out there that are close. The apartment complex that I lived in when I rode the bus for transportation was also in a residential neighborhood that was served by “The 10″ which went downtown in a very direct way. The right house is out there waiting for you. You do not say why you cannot drive. I do not know whether it is a matter of not being able to drive because you are impaired in some way or because you do not own a car. If there is some sort of impairment that prevents you from driving then you should definitely contact Capital Metro because you can apply for a special bus (or van service) that is provided for people with handicaps. My friend is a heart patient, looks perfectly healthy, but is not a safe driver because of her heart condition. She gets picked up at her door and delivered to the store, medical appointments, social occasions, church—etc. It is truly a good service. If this is the case with you, please check it out. It is there for you. If you just don’t have a car right now, then enjoy the many interesting people you may meet while traversing the city by bus. Austin is a wonderful place to live. I hope you find just the right place.

Q: Mazda 6 for 3,000$.. Is it too good to be true?
While looking at Ciaglist for used cars around Austin, TX, I found a used Mazda 6 for 3,000$ with 47k miles. I replied with an email to the saler which apparently moved to the UK, and now is trying to sale the Mazda 6 for 3,000$. He then tells me, “The car is located in Phoenix, AZ, which is 1,000 miles way. I said I’ll drive there to inspect the car personally, but he then replied with “The car is sealed and ready to be shipped, and I’ve a contact with ebay; I can’t cancel”. He’s also accepting paypal, which I find to be weird since if he was indeed a scammer he’d have gone for wired transfer…

He gave me the VIN number, but anyone can easily fake a VIN # to another car. This car seems to good to be true. What do you guys think?
The guy sent me a private auction through ebay. I don’t see why paypal won’t protect me when I’m buying a item from ebay.

A: Another one???

Do you people not read the big fat link at the top of every CL auto page???

The one that looks like this:

[ OFFERS TO SHIP CARS ARE 100% FRAUDULENT ].

Am I missing something here??? Car offered to be shipped!

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Q: Bought a used car and am unhappy. Can anything be done?
Ok, here’s the deal:

Back on the 5th of January (2010) I bought a used vehicle from a dealership (a Kia dealership) in Austin, Texas. When we went to test drive the vehicle, it wouldn’t start; the battery was dead. The salesman assured me that when cars sit on the lot not being used the batteries get low, and he had it jump started. It ran fine on the test drive and we decided to buy it.
During the little negotiation part with the salesman I asked for a new battery. He said the battery was fine and that if there was a problem I could bring it back and they would replace it.

Ok, no problem. We buy the car (finance with $5,000 down) and drive it home.

It continues to have problems starting (probably the battery I think), and I resign myself to having to take it back to get this dealt with. Well, yesterday, as my wife is driving it, the check engine light turns on and the vehicle gets stuck in 3rd gear. Definite problem! So, first (being the savvy fool I am) I take it to Firestone Auto for a full diagnostics before taking it back (I do NOT trust dealerships). They come back with a dead cell in the battery, and several transmission codes. I take the paperwork with me and return to the Kia dealership with the vehicle.

Thankfully, I bought the extended warranty (which apparently will cover the transmission problems), but not the battery. I am told to go talk to my sales person and that he can get me a battery. So, I speak with my sales guy and he tells me they won’t let me get a new battery and I have to talk to a manager. Manager says no dice.

He tells me that since the battery did not get mentioned during the paperwork stage and since it didn’t get written down there is nothing he can do. He also tells me there are no verbal agreements there.

So, my question is this:
Is there anything I can do to back out of the deal? It has been 25 days since I purchased the vehicle, and I haven’t made a payment yet. I am very unhappy with this dealership, and I feel slighted. If there is anyway I can give the car back and get my $5,000.00 back I would be very happy.

Any advice is appreciated.

A: Find someone to tickle you. It will make you feel happier about your mistake.

If you don’t get it in writing, you don’t have it at all.
