What is "uninsured motorist" coverage?

What does this entitle you to?


recently added this onto my existing insurance policy?
What is %26quot;uninsured motorist%26quot; coverage?
GOOD TO HAVE


It is insurance that covers you in case you are in an accident and the other driver is not insured and they are at fault
What is %26quot;uninsured motorist%26quot; coverage?
If you are in an accident where the other driver doesn%26#039;t have insurance, it pays you for damages that the other driver%26#039;s insurance would have paid.
Reply:if someone hits you that doesn%26#039;t have insurance your company will pay for your repairs and anything else that needs to be paid.
Reply:Pretty good answers. Call your agent if you have an actual, physical one to have them spell out what this coverage does to your policy.

How do I find the "door ajar" sensor in my 2000 Buick LeSabre??? The interior lights stay on when I drive.

I%26#039;d like to fix it or at least disable it. (I%26#039;m assuming) that one of the doors%26#039; sensors is malfunctioning. the interior lights stay on as an added bonus to the warning display. If I could temporarily pull a fuse that controlled just the %26#039;annoying%26#039; lights and not any others that would work also - just until I made it home to the dealer. (I%26#039;m visiting relatives, 300 miles away.)

these r the little black push in and out buttons @ the very bottom of the doors.there is a fuse in the fuse box probably next to the kick panel turn the cover it will say %26#039;%26quot; interior lights%26quot;%26quot; pull that fuse you should be good to go GOOD LUCK
Reply:Try removing the bulb from the interior light. That way everything else on that fuse will still work. Just Ignore the %26quot;door ajar%26quot; light on the dash.

Is this right or wrong(Auto Shop Confussion)?

My car a 92 GrandMarquis. 3-4 months ago I took my car 2 a Ford Dealership where I told them my cars headlights would come on but the dashlights %26amp; the running tailLites wouldn%26#039;t. They let me know there was a wiring problem, $550 for a college student = no no. I took the car some where else,after taking it 2 the shop they fixed the lites for 1/2 the price but 3 mnths later same issue. The shop lookd @ the issue %26amp; said it was the switch %26amp; the wires melting together n the dash which they charged $200 w/o labor 2 make me feel better about the mix up. But Im confused? It was already suppose 2 be fixed so Y am I paying? They said the problem could have just occurred R when they fixed the car the 1st time it could have set off an reaction. 1st * they traced %26amp; replaced wire, 2nd * new switch %26amp; wire. Should I have to pay bcause they may have messed up? I truly dont think I should even though it maybe in different sections of the car I truly dont even know what was fixed @ 1st just know im out $

They took advantage of you. They should have found the


problem the first time. You should not have to pay for


something they should have found the first time.

Get it to a Good Auto-Electric Shop! They didn%26#039;t fix the Problem, they Repaired the Result of the Problem and the Problem was still there! %26quot;Dash %26amp; Marker Lights!%26quot; Where wire Harness goes through the Firewall %26quot;Gasket Missing %26amp; Wires Rubbing through and/or Wires Rubbing through on Support Frame under Dash.

The check engine light in my B2300 truck stays on, but the truck seems to run fine. Trying to find out why.?

Get an OBD-II reader or go to Autozone and pull the codes.





Reset the CEL and if it comes back, you know you have an issue. If not, then nothing to worry about.

Probably a sensor is bad, maybe an oxygen sensor. Go to autozone and they will run a code scanner on your truck and tell you what is making the check engine light come on. Then you can buy the part from them and you are good to go...

Maybe you are not screwing the gas cap on tight enough after refueling. Try turning it till it clicks.
Reply:The first thing you should do is to make sure your gas cap


is on correctly. At the dealership I work at, most check


engine lights are the gas cap not on correctly or the gas


cap has gone bad.

Trouble codes for my 2002 F-150?

I%26#039;ve been having some trouble with my F-150 for about two months now and finally broke down and had a local service center run a diagnostic on it. The following codes came up: P1120, P0122, P1121.


The guy said that the TPS wasn%26#039;t getting any power and to take it to the dealer and have them hook up the harness to their computer which would be able to determine if it was a dead wire, or the PCM.


Sound right to you guys?


Any tips?


Is this going to break the bank?


thanks.

The rear window defogger relay on my 1986 911 Targa does not engage the upper and lower elements.?

There is a time delay? Time constant circuit? which should, at some point, engage relay #2 and put 12VDC onto the upper and lower elements.





The maximum voltage seen at the input of the top/bottom


elements is .25 volts.





The center element works fime as relay #1 is not wired through the solid state timing/time delay circuit.





Does anyone know how the upper and lower element


sequencing occurs?





Notes:





1. The defogger relay p/n 911-615-115-00 is new.


2. There is a 1.5 Ohm resistance from the input wire


to the upper and lower elements which are connected in


parallel.


3. There is a 1.9 Ohm resistance from the input wire to the


center element.

What does an air filter actually do? How often should they be changed?

Follow the maker%26#039;s maintenance schedule - can%26#039;t go wrong doing so. If you should operate your vehicle in unusual situation (sandstorm, etc.) change the filters ASAP.
What does an air filter actually do? How often should they be changed?
Cleans the air going into the engine. They should be changed every other oil change, unless you dive in a lot of dusty conditions, then every oil change. If you drive around with a dirty or clogged filter you wont be getting enough air to the motor. This will result in poor fuel mileage. And later on down the road more costly problems.
What does an air filter actually do? How often should they be changed?
Your air filter needs to be changed every 12,000 miles or


sooner if you drive in dusty conditions.
Reply:Ask about synthetic motor oil , cost more , does more , as for the air filter, buy a K %26amp; N air filter they are great , just rinse with water and put back. Last for the life of your car. An ounce of prevent ... Great protection for baby
Reply:An air filter removes the dirt and dust that would otherwise


get sucked into your engine if it never had one.Dirt and Dust


are not good for an engine and constant exposure without the


filter will lead to engine failure eventually.





There are 2 types of air filters on the market.There is the


standard type you can get from car accessory shops or


the performance ones.The standard ones are throw away


after a certain mileage {consult owners manual) The


performance ones are washable but need to be re oiled


using the correct oil but will last for many years and increase


the performance of your car by 2-10 horse power depending


on what you drive.
Reply:Cleans the air going into the Engine! Check Every Oil Change, Change every 4 to 8 months depending on the conditions in your area and how dirty the filter gets. Mine here in Davao, Toyota HiLux 4X4, twice a Year.

My car has been sitting on empty for about four months out in the sun everyday. is this okay?

ya
My car has been sitting on empty for about four months out in the sun everyday. is this okay?
No, you really shouldn%26#039;t leave a car sitting for that long (especially %26quot;on empty%26quot;). Chances are pretty good you have no gas left in your tank, due to the time it has sat in the heat.





God bless!
My car has been sitting on empty for about four months out in the sun everyday. is this okay?
You should run it for a few minutes every week...
Reply:If you were planning on leaving your auto out so long, I would have recommended a breathable car cover. They cost $30-40 at Target or Walmart and are great to use. It protects your paint job from the damaging sun.





Also, unplug the battery for sure if it is going to be left out for that long and make sure you have a full tank of gas. There are scientific reasons behind this, but I guess you can to take my word for it.





HOWEVER, since you already left your car out, there%26#039;s nothing that can be done about it. Just start your car and get an oil change and it should be up and running.
Reply:its best to either run the car a short time , and move it so its on a different spot on the tires , or put iyt up on stands . The battery may go flat and standing on the tires in the same place isnt good for them either .





Add a couple gallons of gas , and leave for a day or two to clear tyhe fuel filter in the tank when you want to start it again .

Im suprised your havent blown your engine yet. They usually over-heat and are destroyed completely if you drive around with no oil.
Reply:The engine seizes.
Reply:All I know is if you try to run the engine, it will lock it down completely.
Reply:the engine will blow out
Reply:Engine will blow up. Not a good idea to run it like that at all! Also check underneath and see if there is an oil leak anywhere after you put oil in it.
Reply:Your are in BIG TROUBLE! The whole engine can lock up or crack the whole engine block. GET OIL IN THERE NOW!!!! AND I MEAN NOW!!!!!!!
Reply:There may still be oil in the car. Just put more oil in it. I just had that problem when I got my oil change recently. There was still plenty of oil, just not enough to register on the dipstick.
Reply:it is possible that nothing will happen, if you caught it inn time. but the reality is that you will probably blow the engine. particularly the head
Reply:The engine will just seize up and there goes your motor. It will completely ruining it and it will stop really violently all of a sudden when your driving. You really don%26#039;t want to drive with even low oil, its very expensive to repair a car that was seized because of no oil.
Reply:The dipstick is just the top 1 quart of oil. Re-add until it%26#039;s reached the top.





You may want to look into why you%26#039;re losing oil ... either by burning, consumption, or a leak.





But you should check your oil level once a week ... it%26#039;s a good habit to get into. It takes 30 seconds and guarantees you from having to buy a new engine.
Reply:The engine will seize up.


You%26#039;ll probably want to get some oil in that thing right now if you want to have any hope of saving it. Although, at this point, you%26#039;ll probably need to have the thing rebuilt anyway, but at least its driveable (hopefully).
Reply:No lubrication, so the parts inside heat up and weld themselves together literally. Use Synthetic , great protection for just these cases. They happen
Reply:Chances are you still have oil in the oil pan, just the stick is not reaching it. You need to add oil to its proper level before operating engine. Listen to engine for irregular noises once oil is added and started.
Reply:There can be a lot of problems that will happen to the engine. And that happens to be in the car.


Run out of oil you could end up with bent rods/rod bearings.


Could crack the heads, Blow a head gasket, Throw a rod through the crank case, Score the cylender heads, Just a bunch of things that could happen to the cars engine. If the engine has been running without oil for some time and nothing has happened yet. Then put oil in it. Sell the car fast and buy another one and fast.

Car troubles. stering wheel shakes when i go over 100?

Car troubles. stering wheel shakes when i go over 100?
I doubt its the alignment, sounds like you have a tire out of balance. go get the tire rebalanced, and do the speed limit. problem solved.
Car troubles. stering wheel shakes when i go over 100?
wheel/tyre damage/ballance-alignment unlikely. Loose front end-worn parts etc.....
Reply:There could be several factors outside of going the 100mph.


Front end needs alignment.


Wheels out of balance.


Shocks need replaced.


wheels out of shape is possible.


Tires not in good shape.


Even with new tires you can have problems with a shaking problem. If you have cheep tires they will not hold to the road at high speeds. Buy better tires. Autobond style would be best. They are rated for high speeds.
Reply:First off guys 100 kph = 62 MPH


It might be front end alignment but more likely to be a wheel out of balance or a bent rim... Might even be a tread separation.
Reply:check the front end., like ball joints and tie rods.
Reply:Rotate and balance your tires. Poor wheel alignment causes your car to pull to one side of the road. Most tire stores will rotate and balance for free if you bought tires there, or charge $10. a wheel alignment is $100 easy.

What would cause my car not to start at all??

I replaced the battery last year and tried charging it by borrowing a charger from Advance Auto. It started out slowly cranking but then will do nothing now. Its been doing this off and on but it always ends up starting. This time it will not turn over at all. Could it be the starter?? I know its not the alternator because I just had that replaced.
What would cause my car not to start at all??
Well lets start out by saying the alternator only keeps your battery charged when the car is running. (if it works)


If you have a one year old battery why was it needing a charge?


Ok. Lets check one thing first. Even with a bad battery you can do this. unplug the coil .Take your spark plugs out. and see if the engine will turn over by hand or by cranking with starter motor.


Ok. If the motor turns over by hand or by the starter then the motor is not frozen. Could be you have low water level in battery and you need to refil with distilled water. Then charge battery. You then should be good to go. Other reasons could be timing belt slip. Bad coil. Bad alternator not charging battery. Bad battery etc.
What would cause my car not to start at all??
Are the terminals and cables clean? or is there %26quot;salt%26quot; on them? if there is %26quot;salt%26quot; ( corrosion) then clean the ends up.
Reply:maybe the battery is not taking charge, like a dead cell.
Reply:Chronic undercharging is one of the prime causes of premature battery failure. If you only just had the alternator replaced, then it must have been undercharging your battery, for who knows how long. Also, if you were sold a battery that is not matched very well to your car, the parasitic load (security system, radio presets, ECM computer, etc) could be leading to chronic undercharging and again (you guessed it), premature failure.





I%26#039;m not saying your battery is bad -- just that it might be bad in spite of being practically new.





Go to any car parts store and ask them to %26quot;load test%26quot; your battery. That%26#039;s the definitive test. If you take it to place you bought it from they%26#039;ll probably replace it free within a year if it tests bad.





Once you %26quot;know for sure%26quot; that your battery is ok, determine whether enough power is getting to the starter. With a multimeter, measure the voltage from the starter main terminal to engine block ground with the starter turned to %26quot;start%26quot;. If you get 12+ volts and the starter isn%26#039;t turning the engine over, replace the starter. If you don%26#039;t get 12 volts, you%26#039;ll have to troubleshoot the keyswitch and wiring harness.

It powered down but will not power up. Since I tried both the driver and passenger window control, it seems that it is NOT a switch problem. Where do I go from here? Do I remove door panel or is there anything else I should be checkinhg?
94 Sable Passenger Window Quit Working! It powered down but not up. I tried dri. and Pas. control, NO GO!?
I had this happen to me once, given the age of your car the motor that moves the window up and down probably burned up or a gear stripped, or something like that. It cost me $120 to have it replaced. Take your door panel off and see if something just fell out of alignment that you could push back in place.





Its not a major problem, though 120 to replace it isn%26#039;t cheap.

My car gets 20 miles to the gallon, I have a 10 gallon tank, I am driving to Maine, 709 Miles from me,?
Your car wont do a constant 20mpg.





In traffic, it will be heavier, under acceleration, it will be heavier, so you need to work out an average.





For this equation, we%26#039;ll use an aveage of 16mpg.





So, 709 divided by 16, multiply by 4.50 = $115.
My car gets 20 miles to the gallon, I have a 10 gallon tank, I am driving to Maine, 709 Miles from me,?
709 divided by 20 and multiply that answer by $4.50. The size of your gas tank is irrelevant, when it is empty, fill it again.
Reply:DIVIDE THE M.P.G. INTO THE TOTAL MILES THEN MULTIPLY THAT NUMBER BY YOUR AVG. OF $ 4.50 --AT 20 MPG ---YOU NEED 35.45 GALLON X $ 4.50 = YOUR COST
Reply:it%26#039;ll cost you $135 to get there with about 1/2 tank left.

Guys please help me with my car!!?

I have a 95 saturn, that has been running great! No problems, and today I went to the pharmacy, turned my car off and 3 minutes later went to turn it back on, and it wouldnt start. When I turn the key, all you hear is %26quot;tick tick tick%26quot;. Its not my battery, my battery is full. I am thinking it might be the starter, any of you men have any advice for me? Thank you for taking your time to help.
Guys please help me with my car!!?
Well it says it is full. but it may not start the car with under cranking power. The battery may look good but without its cranking power it is dead.


Have it checked along with the alternator.
Guys please help me with my car!!?
could be starter or starter soloniod gone bad, if not battery or alternator
Reply:It could be in the connections from the battery to the starter, Check your terminals on your battery.If these are fine it is most likely the starter.That is if the battery is fully charged.
Reply:it sounds as if it could be the starter, or it could just be the battery terminals not on tight enough.
Reply:A battery wire might not be making a good connection if it%26#039;s loose or corroded. The %26quot;tick%26quot; you%26#039;re hearing is the solenoid. It%26#039;s a heavy duty switch that the key switch actuates to engage the starter. It could be bad in which you would need to replace the starter/solenoid assembly. Talk to a trusted mechanic. Good Luck.
Reply:the next time it does that, hit the starter lightly with a hammer or something, sometimes they will stick, also it might be the starter solenoid sticking.
Reply:SOUNDS LIKE YOUR SOLENOID HAS WENT OUT , IF IT IS MOUNTED ON YOUR STARTER ------THEN REPLACE BOTH , IF IT IS SEPARATE THEN REPLACE IT

How to install head &tail lights on a dirtbike?

the dirtbike is a 125cc Giovanni 4 stroke engine , method of starting is kick start i dnt know the year. I want to know how to put in headlights, taillights and brake lights. If its Possible what type of lights would i need to buy and what will i need to do to install the lights if u need to look at the bike first here is a link of the bike and its informationhttp://www.giovannibikes.com/Dirt-Bikes-...
How to install head %26amp;tail lights on a dirtbike?
you will need the lights, mounting stalks, wiring harness, and some power source like a battery and charging system etc. I would find a wrecking yard that specializes in motorcycles and buy all of the parts from a used dual purpose bike (you can look to see if they will fit) and then when you remove them just reverse the procedure on the other bike. If you want to make it road legal then you will want to look into those requirements as well.
How to install head %26amp;tail lights on a dirtbike?
Lots of stuffing around.





You would need to fit a battery first off.





You would then need to fit the headlight and taillight. You can use aftermarket ones, and large plastic companies like Acerbis make front headlights and generic taillights.





You will then need to wire the headlight to a switchblock, and from there, into a relay, and onto the battery, same with the taillight, however, to operate them you will need to turn them on and off with a switch and you will need to continually charge the battery, as I dont believe the bikes electricals will cope with a battery, and lights.





The easier option is to buy a pushbike rear LED light and bolt it to the rear fender, and buy 2 pushbike headlights, which are battery powered and connect them to the handlebars or the front forks.

Approx how much should it cost to get front brakes changed on an 98 Chevy metro. The pads were 15 dollars.?

I bought the brake pads and changed them for my dad and he wants to compensate me the price he would have paid a mechanic.

it depends on who puts them on.

most mechanics charge 40 dollars an hour but unless you really need the money tell him happy fathers day and tell him not to worry about it
Reply:Any mechanic charges for parts plus tax then adds $40-50 an hour. At least thats my experience. So, if you know how long it took you to fix you can add it up.

My 2001 hundai accent hesitates and jerks while driving what could it be???

Could be you need to take it to a shop and have it checked out by a professional.
My 2001 hundai accent hesitates and jerks while driving what could it be???
Is it a manual transmission and the driver only knows how to drive an automatic?





nah, guess not.





Out of the one thousand possibilities, I%26#039;m going to take a wild guess...........clogged fuel injectors. That or a faulty O2 sensor.

proly not cause they r pretty small cars and if u dnt the wheels will b rubbin all up against the wheel wells

probably not without the tires rubbing the inner fender wells when turning.
Reply:but why would you want to??? aside from the fact that it looks ignorant (although I realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder), it has to screw up the suspension dynamics, affecting the ride and handling- and not in positive ways.

Turbo help?

If i could get a turbo from a car, JUST the turbo, technically, if i got a boost controller and made all my own parts (pipes, tubes, etc.) to fit it on my car, wouldn%26#039;t that be the same as getting like a greddy turbo kit for example?


thanks for the help
Turbo help?
Pretty close. The Greddy will be much better though since it is engineered not fabricated together.
Turbo help?
nope. they figure all the diameters on the tubing to get the right amount of boost. And you will need a tune to run the tubo. And the kits usually come with a boxed tune for the application. Custom tuning can sometimes be more than the tubo kit. But if you have the know how to get it down...its worth a shot.
Reply:ehh not exactly





your still gonna need a wastegate.. and i hope to god you dont plan on running a turbo setup without an intercooler.





not to mention a turbo manifold





you can custom bend all your piping and make your own downpipe too if you can weld





ive seen many turbo kits custom fabricated and they turn out nice and original..





go grab a turbo out of a junkyard..saabs..dsm..dodge..audi all have turbocharged vehicles. rebuild it if you have to..its easy and cheap





also try to grab an intercooler





get some injectors..tune your ecm..get some gauges.. and run this kit the RIGHT way...not some ghetto way thats gonna blow up your motor
Reply:in total if you did all the work yourself it would cost A LOT cheaper. the Greddy turbo kits are usually for people that don%26#039;t want to do much of the work, but don%26#039;t confuse a boost controller with a waist gate. I have seen tons of people get piping down and all they really had to buy was a BOV, turbo , waistgate, and ecu tuning.

Hello, I have a 95 blazer and it runs tough and the check engine light is on, any help?

I have changed plugs, wires, distributor, vaccum lines, coil etc and it is getting worse. I did notice when I took off one of the vaccum lines to the cannister that tranny fluid came out of it. Any time you cram on the gas the check engine light flashes. Any suggestions.

Speedometer fixing? helpppp!!!?

My speedometer is around 18mph off in the 40mph zones and around 12 off in the 60mph zones. I have asked around of how to get my speedometer corrected but the only answer ive gotten was that i could add a gear to the transmission to make it alittle better but it would cost like 700-1200 dollars D: isn%26#039;t there a calibration a mechanic could do to alter the speedometer and not have to add gears? please i need help guys, thanks.
Speedometer fixing? helpppp!!!?
go to your dealer and they will fix it for you





if they don%26#039;t, there are calibration kits that you can do yourself that sell on the internet
Speedometer fixing? helpppp!!!?
What type of car and how old??? Most newer car dont have a mechanicle speedometer. Its controled by the computer, and can be fixed with a scanner in a few minutes.
Reply:yeah you can adjust your speedometer.. people do this when they get considerably larger wheels than what theyve had before. i dont know how to do it, but search around online or ask your local shop to do it for you. shouldnt be too expensive
Reply:it sounds like the speedometer is malfunctioning not geared wrong


you should just replace the speedo head


but these can be rather expensive


In a pinch on older cars I have had great success using a bycicle computer/ speedometer you mount the magnet to the front rim and the sensor to the brake caliper


and the display on youre a pillar where you can see it
Reply:it is just a plastic gear in the transmission. you need one with with a different tooth count. it should be under $200 at a shop $25-$75 if you do it yourself
Reply:the gear ratio for the speedometer drive is off due to the different sized tire that you are using. you should be able to check with a transmission shop and get some information, or the part to replace and recalibrate the system.

Please help me deal with my local dealership!! They screwed me over!! :*(?

I took my car to my local dealership ( I have no problem saying their name.. Ford Lincoln Mercury of Grove Hill, AL ) for an estimate of repair for my drivers side car window. While they were checking that out they broke the switch for the passenger side window. I took it back to have them fix it but they just made it worse. Also, they refused to admit that there was even a problem. I know I%26#039;m not crazy, because after I left there I took it to another mechanic and he wrote me out a ticket stating it was broken. I talked to the general manager, the parts manager and everything, and noone was helpful. They just said that things like that happen. They also lied on the ticket they gave me, saying that it was fixed, when it wasnt. They refused to write me out another one. Im so broken hearted about this. Not so much the window, but just the fact they would take advantage of me like that. Ive contacted the BBB but I dont know what else to do.. What else can I do?? Please help...
Please help me deal with my local dealership!! They screwed me over!! :*(?
Really not much you can do. Civil court is an option, just not a real good one.
Please help me deal with my local dealership!! They screwed me over!! :*(?
you are pretty much sol


find a different mechanic
Reply:Take them to small claims court.
Reply:Contact Ford. Not your local dealer. It may take some patience and some research but if you can file a complaint with Ford against the local dealership you may get some results. Be patient and don%26#039;t give up.
Reply:I dont see how you were taken advantage of. You didn%26#039;t mention anywhere in all of that anything about money out of your pocket. Why would they even touch the switch if they were working on the drivers side? Sounds to me like it was already broke or on the borderline of breaking. Before you waste time in court, list what you%26#039;d be suing them for exactly, I%26#039;d like to see that. You can post your vent on rip off report dot com if that makes you happy.
Reply:contact ford, like the other guy said--my girlfriend had a problem with her car and the dealership would do nothing and she e-mailed ford about it and finally they called her and set up a time for her to take it in and the dealer had to fix everything free--it took awhile but just keep e-mailing ford over and over

What can put in or modify to get better gas mileage in my 4.2L V8?

the only things that i%26#039;ve heard of is a forced air induction or cold air intake...and getting better spark plugs





the most important thing about getting better mileage is your driving habit and how fast you go
What can put in or modify to get better gas mileage in my 4.2L V8?
A smaller capacity motor. And modify your driving techniques.

How can I get a factory rebuild for the engine in my 2003 Pontiac in Ontario, Canada?

2000 Mercedes Benz SLK230 reliable??

I have been looking for a car to buy and Ive really fallen in love with the slk230. And since im young and this is the only time i will probably get to enjoy a 2-seater before i start a family i think this will be a good choice for me.





i was just wondering for those who have experience how are these in the long run? I mean buying a car made in 2000 now would be 8 years old. I dont want to have to buy a car and end up repairing and fixing more than driving. So just wondering if this is a reliable/ good car?? lol please do not recommend a different car i should buy, i just want to know if this car will break down on me considering how old it is. THANKS!!
2000 Mercedes Benz SLK230 reliable??
They are good cars and eventually it will break down one day since it%26#039;s an old car. Also repairs can be very costly when needed so I hope you have a nice income.
2000 Mercedes Benz SLK230 reliable??
Mercedes are built really good.. but once they start falling apart, the parts will be very expensive.
Reply:Mercedes Benz are as pricey as what they offer and the quality which they are built. In my opinion any Mercedes is reliable depending on how well it has been kept. I suggest you take it for an examination and you will probably face some repairngs but the car is most likely to be in a great shape just knowing is a Merc. You may want to see a documental made by Fifth Gear about Mercedes Benz. In this case is a E Klass Station Wagon. But they are all built by the same name. It has 4 Parts but i suggest you take a look at it!! It may help you a lot with your purchase.
