5 reasons to sell your junk car for cash
A car is a necessity for many people. However, even the best-maintained cars will eventually develop defects, become unroadworthy, and lack trade-in value. If you're tired of sinking money into an old, worn-out machine, it's time to make the smart decision and sell your junk car for cash. A professional will assess the value of your car based on the model, current condition, and the condition of its parts. Therefore, you may not want to keep your junk car in your garage for months, as this option may end up damaging key parts further. Here are five reasons why you should consider selling your old, beat-up, or barely-running vehicle. 1. Free up space Once your car isn't running well or stops running, you'll most likely buy a new, more efficient car, leaving the old one sitting in your garage or yard. Storing junk cars on your property takes up space that could be used for other things. Selling your junk…
Recall: Ford Transit Trail trucks may lose power steering
More than 1,900 Transit Trail vans from the 2023-2024 model years are being recalled. July 25, 2024 — Ford has recalled more than 1,900 Transit vans equipped with the Transit Trail package.

This exposed the substrate to environmental conditions." - Ford Ford also said that if the power steering assist failure lasts for more than two seconds, a warning message "Steering Assist Fault, Service Required" will be displayed.

5 factors that affect the price of scrap cars
You now need to get rid of that old or non-functioning car that’s been sitting in your driveway for years and turn it over to a junk car buyer, but the question of how much you can sell it for may be holding up the process. Only an official quote can provide an exact finance figure for your car, but before handing your car over to a buyer, there are several factors to consider to give you a better idea of the car's value. 1. Vehicle age Just like buying a new car, modernity is a big factor in determining the value of a scrap car.

Regardless, it's best to trade in your car early to cash in…
Feds close Honda rear differential investigation without evidence
The wheels of Honda CR-V and HR-V locked due to damage to the drive shaft and rear differential. July 25, 2024 — Honda CR-V and HR-V SUVs equipped with all-wheel drive can experience wheel lock after a drive shaft breaks and the rear differential is damaged. The issues were enough to attract the attention of federal safety regulators, who launched an investigation in late 2022. The NHTSA investigation involves about 1.7 million Honda CR-V and HR-V SUVs produced between 2018 and 2022. No consumer complaints have been filed with the government, but NHTSA reviewed the field reports and requested information from Honda. Some field reports said wheels locked up without warning while driving, and dealers found broken drive shafts and damaged differentials. Dealers said a damaged oil seal caused an oil leak that caused the problem. Honda said it was aware of at least 1,201 incidents. Engine oil lubricates the components, and if the oil leaks, the rear differential will…

Audi e-tron GT review: The sports sedan that electric cars forgot
Sedans no longer dominate the roads like they once did, and now everyone and their mom wants an SUV or crossover. However, Audi has proven with the e-tron GT that there is still a lot of merit in a well-engineered and well-designed sedan. The Audi version of the Porsche Taycan has been revealed in Europe for a few years, but it’s not coming to Australia until 2023, and we got our first hands on it a few weeks ago. It won’t sell as well as some of Audi’s cheaper, pricier EVs, nor will it redefine electric performance. However, it’s one of the best sedans I’ve ever driven, regardless of powertrain. And it just happens to be electric. Quick Facts Looks great, doesn't it? Like the Taycan, the Audi e-tron GT is based on the same J1 platform as the Porsche Taycan. This means it shares similarities with its half-brother but is more focused on comfort and Grand Touring capabilities, hence…
