How much would it cost to fix up my truck?
I'm a 17 year old male and I'm getting my first car. It's a 1995 Ford F150 extended cab. I really like it and I've always wanted an older square Ford truck. I've always loved cars since I was little. I really wanted to restore something and this seems like a good opportunity. It's really rusty. Some places to notice rust are
-Behind driver and passenger doors
-Front fenders
-Bed (I plan to get a different one)
The wheels, paint, and interior are in great condition. It runs great. I want to do whatever work I can, myself. How much would it possibly cost to fix all the rust and paint where it's been repaired?
Try looking for used body panels that aren't rusty at online junkyards. They will ship just about anything. You can probably learn how to replace body panels on your own. That may be cheaper than having a body shop fix rusted out panels.
- Is it possible to get a new transmission for an older car, if so, how much would it cost? I'm looking at buying a 2003 Ford Taurus with 85,000 miles on it. No, there are no transmission problems. I'm just thinking that if it were done now, that could add a lot of life onto the vehicle. And it would make sense because my estimate is that a new transmission is less that what this car is worth. The car is 5K.
- Is it true that all cars pretty much cost the same to fix? I'm 16 and I was talking about cars with my dad. I'm buying my own car. I told him that I just wanted to buy a regular car because high end luxury cars cost too much to repair. He said that pretty much all cars will cost the same to maintain and repair. Would it cost the same to maintain a 2006 BMW as a 2006 Ford? I'm just talking about luxury cars vs regular cars. Not super/sports cars. Could I take a BMW or Mercedes to a local mechanic?
- I took my truck my truck to ford to fix a very loud noise and when I Get it back same its the same? I spent eight hundred and something dollars to get this fixed they said I should replace two of them the front and back so they can have the same life span so I forked out another 400 bucks but now when I go home and has the same noise when I turn now they're trying to sell me a wheel bearing for two hundred buckS, its been 5 days what should I do
- How much does it cost to fix/replace the gas gauge to a 1977 Ford F100 Custom pickup truck? Project vehicle. Just looking for an estimate, because that's GOT TO BE the first thing that gets fixed.
