    Is it a bad idea to buy a 1998 Honda Civic EX with 147,000 miles for school?

    School starts in the beginning of January for me (college). I have about 3,800 saved up and I found a Honda Civic that I want to purchase. It has 146,000~ miles, and the the asking price was 2,500. I got him down to 2,000 because there's a quiet "bu-dunt, bu-dunt" noise coming from the front...

    Is this a bad wheel bearing?

    It's on a 1998 Honda Civic EX When driving, it kind of sounds like there's a flat tire, it's not loud and sometimes not very noticeable. It has a repetitive "dunt-dunt-dunt-" again not very loud, coming from the front left wheel it seems. What can I do to check? I did a little research and it...

    How much would it cost to replace the front left bearing on a 1998 Honda Civic if I...

    ...already have the bearing? I know a mechanic (closed on weekends) who does things fairly cheap. I'm looking to buy a new car, and the one I'm looking at is a 1998 Honda Civic, the only problem is the front left wheel bearing makes a thumping noise (not loud, just bu-dump bu-dump bu-dump).

    What kind of light-bulbs emit a white light, and not an off-white?

    I have a reading lamp, and the light emitted from it is an off-white, an almost yellow kind of light (I'm sure you're familiar with it). It's not very comfortable when I'm reading, so what kind of light-bulbs emit a really white light?

    Selling my car, buyer won't be present for pickup?

    My car isn't working, and I found a buyer that's offered me $385 for it, cash. They are sending a Tow Truck from about 20 miles away, so they won't be there in person. I have the title and everything ready. I emailed them the form to fill out (Bill of Sale) that releases me of liability if...

    How much would it cost (roughly) to replace / fix the transmission on a

    1997 Suzuki Swift? I'm no mechanic, but I believe my transmission on my car is malfunctioning and/or broken. It's a 5-speed manual, and it's accelerating extremely slow... it struggles to make it over 35 mph and I have to put heavy pressure on the pedal. The car used to peel out if I accelerated...

    iPhone or Blackberry Storm 9500~?

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8310, with unl. text / data with AT&T. I've been looking at purchasing an iPhone on eBay (cash, to avoid any form of contract) and my question to you is, do I have to purchase a special plan if I get an iPhone? Or will my unlimited text/data carry over? If so, besides...

    Do you need a special iPhone plan for the iphone, or can you use your pre-existing?

    I have unlimited text and data, will that work if I buy an iPhone?
