Hi I found another HHR LS 2007 139, 000 miles $2K but but engine light comes on which prevents from passing emission. What does engine light mean for these cars, what needs fix, and does it cost much?
Hello, Alan M McNeil! It depends on the error code. Some codes could be trigged by the evaporative system (or even loose fuel tank cap) and easy to fix, some codes are caused by the bad catalytic converter which costs a small fortune to repair. You need to read the codes first.

What about a 2008 Chevy HHR? Is $1000 for a 2008 HHR with 215K miles?
Hello, Alan M McNeil! Nowadays it's very hard to find a running car for $1000. So if it runs, if the head gasket isn't blown and transmission shifts well you may try. Of course, don't expect this car to be reliable but for $1000 it can be a good deal.

I have heard only good things about the Toyota Tacoma with people routinely buying them with more than 100,000 miles. Is there a sweet spot on number of miles to buy a used truck? Are there any model years that are considered "less good" than others?
Hello, Dara Hailes! In terms of reliability, Tacoma is a very good truck and you can buy it regardless of its mileage (if you don't care about stiff suspension). But they are expensive so it really makes sense to look for high mileage Tacoma which is more affordable but still has a big lifespan. Talking about model years we noticed that (like in case of any other car manufacturers) Toyota's quality is going down slowly. So maybe you shouldn't buy the newest Tacoma - it seems that it's not the best choice in terms of quality for money.

Hello,
What's your thoughts on a 2010 Ford Focus SE with 44,000 miles on it for a high school student? My research shows 2010 was still a good year for the Focus before they started having some issues. Thank you.
Hello, Tim! Yes, that is a good choice. Second generation Focus has simple and reliable engines and good hydraulic automatic transmission (not horrible PowerShift). If it really has only 44,000 miles it's almost a new car.

I'm looking at Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Cars. Budget is $5000. Is this feasable? I'll be keeping the car a long time.
Hello, SCOTT WHITE! Good choice! $5000 is more than enough. You can get a really good low mileage car. But even with thousands of hundred miles these vehicles remain very reliable.

Are you ASE certified?
Hello, chris! Unfortunately, ASE doesn't certify mechanics performing a pre-purchase inspection which requires skills from different areas of automotive knowledge. So if some mechanic who performs pre-purchase inspection claims that he is ASE-certified he lies or he does it part-time having the main workplace in some workshop and specializing in a particular area. But do you want your car to be inspected by a mechanic who works on a part-time basis?
