A good friend is looking for a smaller suv/wagon with AWD and decent MPGS around $6-$7K and he said he’s looking at a 2005 Volvo V50 T5 AWD wagon. It sounds like it’s a 1 owner car with around 100,000 miles and a recent timing belt change.
Any things he should check out with this car? Is it a pain to get parts since…
Our trusty 2001 CR-V is turning 250K and we’re looking to update. I was mostly looking at the 3rd/4th Gen CR-V, or the 3rd Gen Rav4 with AWD and V6, which I’ve heard are good cars. Ideally, less than 75K miles and $15,000.
This is probably the wrong crowd for this but....
Greetings fellow Jalops.
Greetings fellow Jalops! I need advice as I am looking to get rid of my 1994 Ford Taurus. I recently found a 2001 CR-V EX 4wd (not pictured) for $3000. It has a clean title, auto transmission, and with 212,000 miles on it. I'm looking for a car that will last 5 or so years. Is this a decent car for the price? Are…
As a fellow jalop, there are few opinions I trust more than (most) of yours regarding vehicular knowledge. My wife and I are trying to figure out what our next car is, and we are toying around with getting a used Honda Element with AWD. We need something with enough space for bicycles, skis, and the occasional…
Hello fellow Jalops. I need your opinions/advice regarding a potential car purchase. A co-worker is selling his 2002 Honda Passport but it won’t pass smog because of a catalytic converter (must be CA legal). I’ve heard the catalytic converters for this specific model are pretty pricey but besides that, would it be a…
Dear fellow Jalopponauts,
My fiancee and I are going to Banff, Canada for our honeymoon this June, and we are renting a car for the trip. This has proven to be one of the most difficult parts of planning the honeymoon as I am prone to pickiness regarding the vehicle we would drive around for a week. To…
I've always loved the Audi C6 RS6 Avant. It has always been one of my favorite cars: station wagon capacity, AWD capability, and a twin turbo V10 for fun. The ultimate sleeper.
Well, allergies are getting the best of me, so I'm staying home from work. No better time than to start something I've wanted to do for a while: Cars of the Valley (or Oakhurst).
Well I got engaged this past weekend, but more importantly.....
I saw the 2015 Mustang for the first time! woot!
Well it has been two weeks since I received a free 1994 Ford Taurus GL. Day 2 of owning it resulted in a cracked radiator.
The radiator has been repaired, but the starter motor is going out as well. Any tips? Ideas? Sources for cheap, good parts?
Well, I have been given a 1994 Taurus for free, and seeing as winter is coming soon, it will be better than the ol' Trek.
