I bought my car from a dealer on Ebay 6 months ago. I got the bill of sale when I went to get the car and he told me he would send me the rest of the papers in the mail that week. Well 6 months later and he keeps sending me temporary tags because he says there’s an issue with the paperwork. He said it’s not the title but from the dealership itself.

I love the car but I’m very tired of this!! Is there any way I can return the car without any hassle? I don’t know uch about these kind of things so I need any input I can get. What should I do?

By the way, I bought the extended warranty from a local dealer where I live too, what happens with that? Help please!!!! Thank you!

I have a 2008 car in mint condition that I bought with 46,000 miles on it (the extended warranty expired at 36,000 miles). I can get a 3-year warranty from the dealership for 00, but a few people told me that it covers some things, but doesn’t cover other things, and if something breaks, they might say, "Sorry, that’s not covered." Then I will have spent all that money for nothing. Do I really need an extended warranty?
It is a 2008 Chevy HHR.
Kelly F., thank you, those articles were very helpful!

As I have been trying to find information of my car troubles I read that many people have seemed to have problems with Dealership batteries. I bought my car used but took it to replace battery thinking it was covered under the extended warranty. It wasn’t. I got a new battery from the dealership anyway as I was stranded out there. Did they put a faulty battery in my car?

Getting out of a Nissan xterra 4×4. I am looking to get into something more luxurious. I need the room of an SUV/Crossover, need 4×4/AWD (not for off-roading, but in various terrains/conditions), need better gas mileage than the xterra. I am concerned about going from the size of the xterra to the Q5, but will I forget all about that after a few months of driving? The lexus hybrid gives the highest mpg between the two, but the highest price tag. Is the extra 10k worth it to get a lexus or to get something more comparable to the size of the xterra? I am looking at the top of the line features on both, plus a lot of the extra accessories added to it.

I have heard lots of stories about german cars falling apart….Is that true? Is it getting better? Lexus has always had a great reputation, but Audi seems to be growing rapidly in the US the last couple of years. I do plan on extending the warranty as far as I can get it for this very reason. I want to know what will really last.

About me/family. Only have to tote around nieces and nephews a couple times a month in car seats. No kiddos of my own. Have a dog and a significant other, but that is really it. We do like to do a lot of things out doors and go on trips all over the state and country. Lots of times we drive. I need the room to go on trips with the girls as well. I am a geology major so room for camping gear is a must.

I really just want to have the luxury this time around but if put into the position of bad weather (blizzarrd) or bad terrain (dirt road) it will handle just fine. Most of the time I will be driving in the city but occasionally I would like to venture out.
I am in general getting rid of two vehicles, so insurance will be better no matter what to me. Ill be saving by going from two vehicles to one. The lexus is about -15 cheaper a month because It gives a hybrid discount on top of the new car. All in all insurance is not a factor.

Also, audi gives the option of purchasing a discounted maintenance plan to help cover the costs of anything for the first 4 years. Also, I have the option on both vehicles to extend the warranty out. I dont typically keep a vehicle longer past its warranty and if so not very much longer.
