New car......? A man had just bought a brand-new car. It was a shiny red car with a high-quality, comfortable interior. To top that off, it could go much faster than an ordinary car. The man was showing off his new car to his friend when he saw an old man getting on a shabby-looking moped. The man laughed and said to his friend, "Wouldn't it be fun to leave that old guy over there in the dust? You now, like show him how much better and faster this new car is than his stupid moped?" His friend agreed. So they got in the car, jammed the keys in the ignition, pulled it into drive and started going. The old man on the moped started going at the same time. The man in the car pushed down the gas pedal, and soon the car was doing 100 miles per hour. They laughed as they thought of how far they had left the old man behind. However, a few seconds later, the old man's moped went whizzing past them. The old man waved as he passed them. "What in the name of-" the man's friend said. "That guy's moped is beating your brand-new car?" Angrily, the man floored the pedal, and they soon were at 150 miles per hour. That'll teach him, the man thought as he sped along. But the old man zoomed past them yet again."That's IT!" the man declared furiously and brought the car to a stop. The moped came to a sttp also. The man exploded out of the car. "How the heck were you going faster than me?" he asked, aggravated. The old man panted and said, "I tried to tell you, but my suspenders were caught in your car door."

How do I buy a new car from a dealership? I actually bought a new car back in Nov. '02. Mits. Lancer '03. Well, I regret that. I got totally ripped off. I am still paying for that car plus I have a balloon payment (the interest) coming up in Nov. '07. I know I'm going to be needing a new car soon. I am giving myself some extra time before I buy so I can make the right decision. I narrowed my choices to 2 cars: MINI Cooper/ Toyota Matrix. I ask: How can I haggle prices down? How can I find out what are the taxes in my area? How can get a great loan with my bank? I think I have excellent or almost excellent credit. What advice can you guys give me? (The reason why I'm getting a new car is because my boyfriend is going to be using my Mits. He had to sell his car when we moved. We are both young and need some wise advice. I can't ask my parents for advice because they are dead. I'm not going to get a used car because I'm going to look stupid driving a shite box. Yes I can afford two car payments. Otherwise, I wouldn't be asking for advice. My boyfriend bought us a condo with both of are names on it. He's done a lot for me, so the least I can do is let him use his car since he sold his car so the move could be easier.

How do I make my car smell like brand new when it was first bought? Notice that new smell of a brand new car? Nothing feels as great as having your car smell like brand new.

How do you buy new car brochures in bulk? I am trying to sell new car brochures online and I was wondering what the easiest way is to buy bulk new car brochures. I don't know if I should buy directly from the supplier, or from the car company, etc. Also if there is a way to do this, I'd like for someone to tell me how to do it. Thanks in advance! Oh, and don't say just go to the dealer because you can't run a business selling brochures if you only get a few new brochures every week or so. I need to buy them in bulk. Oh and even MORE details, I am not selling them right away obviously. I am stockpiling them and I'm gonna wait a few years when you can't get them anymore. And again, even more info. I don't know how to contact the manufacturer. It doesn't say anywhere on the brochures. If I can find out online, I don't know how.

How difficult is it to put new seats in my car? I have a 1987 Subaru Justy; it's a terrific car that is mechanically sound and has tonnes of life left. Plus it's my baby and I plan on keeping it forever. However, the rear seat has sun damage and the driver seat is cracked and worn from wear. Also the carpet near the pedals has worn through. It looks ugly and I have seat covers, but it doesn't look as good as having actual upholestry. Where would I find seats for this car? I tried Ebay but there's none. Also tried dismantling yards, but this car is pretty rare and couldn't find any. Any websites you know of? Also, once I find some, how hard is it for a "do-it-yourselfer" to take the old ones and bolt new ones in? It seems like it'd be just a number of bolts holding the seat and tracks to the floor.

What rights do you have when buying a brand new car? I bought a new Audi TT two years ago that is already showing signs of rust. Audi have told me that are aware of the fault, and did infact recall some cars for this reason. However they will not replace my car, only repair it. Should i have to settle for a reapir when i have clearly been sold a faulty car? They have offered to repair it for free...i dont want a repaired car though.....not when i paid £25k for it! To the idiot that thinks i should be grateful to be able to have my car repaired........you clearly either work for Audi or are just plain stupid. And for your infomation, I have a Vauxhall Vectra that is 5 years old, without any sign of rust...and that car was half the cost of this one. It is stupid people like you that make it so easy for large companies to rip people off. It really does astound me that so many people seem to think that i should be GRATEFUL that the manufacturer are offering to repair a fault that they sold the car, knowing it would develop, and it is still within the three year warranty. People these days really must have low expectations when then spend thousands of pounds on something!

What is the best way to keep a new black car's paint in "showroom" condition? I have a brand new black car and I want to keep the exterior looking like it rolled off the showroom floor for as long as possible. I have had the car three weeks and I've been through a local "touchless" car wash about 6 times. I've just noticed the paint is already starting to show those tiny swirl marks when viewed up close.

What can I do to increase the likelihood that repairs to my new car will be done properly? The new car I bought wasn't properly prepped, and now -- three months after buying the car -- the rail-dust residue has to be un-done. My concern (worry, really) is that it won't all be attended to; that it wil be done in patches; and that further down the road, more instances of rail dust will present themselves. Should I insist that the entire car be treated, whether or not rail dust is visible? I suspect they'll simply treat the spots they can see. I do NOT want to have to be running back to the dealer every few months to have this fixed. What do you suggest I do/say to help insure the problem gets fixed once and for good? Should I involve management? I definitely will tip the dude who does the work (though I don't expect to have to pay for the repair service), but should I tip him up front and let him know there's more if -- and only if -- he does a boffo job? Is that insulting? I do not want to antagonize the guy who's gonna repair my ride, ferchrissakes. Advice?
