How to describe a car with a diffrent Year of motor?
I have a 1960 bus with a 1976 engine in it and that's just how I describe it. I would suggest you advertise the car as a 1997 Prelude with a 2001 engine, tranny, and interior.



P.S. Good luck in the military and thanks for volunteering to protect all of our freedom.
How to describe a car with a diffrent Year of motor?
The car is still a '97, based on the VIN. Just describe it like you did above.
you must list it as a 97 with 2001 upgrades
Igor To carefully answer your question many of our cars we drive have been or have had 2 or more engines replaced because we drive the heck out of our cars these days unless you want an old couple that barely drives their cars much then you have a safe bet here on their behalf but like the old saying says buyer beware.GOOD LICK
Say that it is a 97 with a 01 powertrain. (If I put a brand new engine in a car from the 70's , it does not make it brand new)
No. You still say that it's a 97 prelude. But in the description you can list out the major components that you put in and say that those are 01.

How can I start a rental car agency?

I've been looking a for a detailed plan how to start a rental car agency. The toughest thing I've seen on starting one is getting an insurance carrier to cover the cars. Now I've seen around here there are two rental car companies that rent vehicles, to body shop customers and use the customers insurance for the time the rental is in use, rather then their own. Is it possible for me to rent out vehicles without having to buy an expensive insurance policy?

I receive a monthly car allowance from my employer, how do I handle the taxes?

My employer gives me a monthly car allowance per month that is not taxed. It is enough to cover the car payment and insurance. I drive the vehicle 70% of the time for the company. How will this impact me and how handle this at tax time? Thanks.
I receive a monthly car allowance from my employer, how do I handle the taxes?
Your employer will combine the amount of the allowance paid to you under a non-accountable plan with your wages, salary, or other pay. Your employer will report the total in box 1 of your Form W-2.



If you want to claim the expenses, you must complete Form 2106 or 2106-EZ and itemize your deductions to deduct your expenses for travel, transportation, meals, or entertainment. Your meal and entertainment expenses will be subject to the 50% limit. Also, your total expenses will be subject to the 2%-of-adjusted-gross-income limit that applies to most miscellaneous itemized deductions.
I receive a monthly car allowance from my employer, how do I handle the taxes?
It should be counted as income.
The allowance is income. It is offset by relevant expenses; the easiest way to proceed is to keep a logbook of all use, personal or business, and add up the business use at the end of the year. The IRS publishes a deductible amount per mile, which is presently about forty cents.
You will need to keep track of at least the mileage and preferably the other costs as well (gas, oil, tires, coolant, insurance, interest, etc.) At the end of the year, the allowance should be reported to the IRS and claimed as income offset by either your expenses or the standard mileage rate.
These allowances are taxable income. I have one, too.
You should claim it as income. It should be added to your wages on your W-2 statement. You can deduct mileage or 70% of the actual expenses for the year. The mileage amount is $.48 for 2007 ( I think).

How green is scrapping an old car and buying a new one?

People who own cars that have high c02 emissions are going to be taxed more under the guise of a 'green tax to encourage green behaviour'.



The only logic here is that the government want people to scrap their old cars and buy new lower emission ones.



How green is it to scrap a perfectly good car and replace it with a new one?



Where would there be figures/data for this?
How green is scrapping an old car and buying a new one?
No idea if there are any figures for this, but recycling of cars is down to a pretty good fine art these days, with something like 80-95% of material reclaimed.



Of course, reclaiming the materials and building the new car also takes masses of energy, so it all depends on how much you use the car and how close you were to the tax brackets.



In the short term this effect of people scrapping 'good' cars for new cars is obviously harmful, but 10 years down the line it will have almost certainly been a net saving measure.
How green is scrapping an old car and buying a new one?
It is MUCH more harmful to the environment to make a new car than to run an old banger.
I don't know, fuel consumption must be a factor but do old cars burn more fuel than new cars?
This is where it all falls down . New car = loan =steel production = plastic production =energy consumption . The next phase of driving people off the road .
Older cars do produce more emissions than new ones unfortunatley. Older cars have more characteer however do pollute more. Scrapping an old car will remove high emission vehicles off the road, will also allow the metal/parts to be recycled (another green issue.) Also help the economy by purchasing a new car.
The old car is completely recycled and makes more steel. Hopefully the new car will save a lot of fuel.
If you get rid of your old car and get one that is more efficient, Guess what? Now someone else is driving your old car + you are driving a new one.
scraping your old car and making a new car can be beneficial or %26quot;GREEN%26quot; as you call it. the newer cars are more fuel effiecient and have lower emission then older cars. older cars have higher emission rates and are costly at the pumps

the only problem is money. the cost of a new low emission gas efficient car is crazy and not many people can afford it

so while getting a new car can help the enviorment not many people can afford it
I can't afford a new one so I hope it's not bad to buy an older one. I won't buy it that old.

Usually it's better not to buy new things.

Why is my car driving sporadically and can it be fixed easily?

I have a 1990 Nissan Sentra, and for nearly four months I've been dealing with this problem. I'll turn on my car and drive for about 5 minutes and suddenly my car will start to sputter. When I try to accelerate, my car doesn't, and it feels like it's running in neutral. It is a four-cylinder manual drive. My grandparents who gave me the car tell me it might be the fuel injector, but I've changed this to no avail. I also heard other solutions which I haven't implemented for I want to make sure others might agree with the solution. Also, it seems that my car is burning oil. I've heard this could be any number of problems like bad rings or even transmission. I don't have a clue. Lastly, will I personally be able to fix this myself with ease and how much will it cost? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
Why is my car driving sporadically and can it be fixed easily?
There are a number of possibilities, and they range from a cheap easy fix to possibly more than the car is worth. The first question would be how long has it been since the spark plugs were changed? If they are worn out, they may still create enough spark for the car to run in warm-up mode (most cars add extra gas for the first few minutes to help the engine run better until it has been able to warm up), but not afterward. Otherwise, it could be a failing fuel pump, which is inside the gas tank for most fuel injected cars and is a pain to change (you have to deal with rusty bolts and drop the gas tank to get at the pump). Another possibility is a malfunctioning sensor, because most cars don't use all the sensors while in the initial %26quot;warm up%26quot; mode. These are just a few possibilities I could think of without actually personally seeing what the car is doing. If the check engine light turns on when the car starts acting up, some auto parts stores will hook up a diagnostic computer for you and read the error codes stored in the computer, but not all of them do so call and ask. I hope this helps!

if the engine runs normally when the car is not moving then the best guess is the clutch, when is cold there is enough viscosity to move the car but when it reach the operating temperature then the rotors expanding and slipping
if it revs up when you give it gas its more than likly the clutch and if it spits and sputters and acts like its running out of gas its the fuel pump or fuel filter and depending on if the pump is in the gas tank it might not be worth replacing

What is the best car alarm out available to install on a 2009 Chevrolet Express?

We have a 2009 Chevrolet Express, a rather large van. I was wondering what the best choice for alarm systems would be. Ive looked a few up, but am unsure how that would connect into the car's existing electrical systems and how secure it would be for a vehicle that is larger than most cars that is is designed for.

LOJACK is the best

Size doesnt matter, they all sense when a door is opened or when a shock is sensed (window smash). Just make sure you have a good installer. For an automatic alarm, one that senses the remote, you should check the range of sensors (I know Simple http://simplecaralarm.com has no problems with this)..

I got my car shipped across country and now my trunk door is broken. How much would it cost to get it fix?

The trunk doesn't open with the key in the key hole or the trunk release pully inside my car. I'm new to the area ( Puyallup, WA) and have no idea where is the best place to get my car fix. I would like to get this done as soon as possible, please help me!

Before taking it in, have you sprayed graphite in the lock and tried again? Have you sprayed wd-40 under the edge of the trunk around the latch, pushing that little straw under the rubber to get the spray on the mechanism? Or, if your back seat folds down for a pass-through, slide into the trunk to spray the mechanism more accurately. Try that before anything else. If that doesn't work any dealer or body shop can probably fix it pretty quickly.

Take it to the dealer in that area.
