Your Questions About Auto Window Tinting
Laura asks…
2008 Chevy Cobalt Speedometer Light?
I have a 2008 Chevy Cobalt and I just got the windows tinted so it’s darker inside now and when I have my sunglasses on it’s a little bit harder to see the speedometer (I can still see it though). But anyways I was wondering how to turn the background lights on for the speedometer during the day. They turn on at night but I can’t figure out how to turn them on manually. I tried turning the auto headlights off and switching them to manual on thinking the car would think it was night time but that didn’t work. Anyone know how to turn the speedometer background lights?
mariok answers:
Turn your inside lights on in the car. There should be a switch on your left to switch them on, that goes (dials) up. Turn the inside lights off, but leave the switch on high. Then switch your headlights on. You should see the speedometer then.

mariok answers:
Reliable? Nooooooo
$2500? Nooooo
“Power Steering, Power Windows • Cruise Control • Sunroof, Power Mirror • Auto Transmission, Air bag • AM/FM, 6 CD Changer • Air conditioner, heating. • ABS, Rear Defrost, Tinted windows ”
Who cares? How is the engine? Transmission? Are the head gaskets about to go (like they always do)? What about the oil pump? Another classic problem. When was the trans fluid serviced?
All thos bells and whilstles mean nothing. You need a mechanically sound car. Get a thorough pre-purchase inspection before you hand over a dollar. Because these things are *not* reliable and the parts are VERY expensive.

my friend has a 1998 Dodge Dakota Sport with a 3.9L 5spd auto . it has 10 inch subs in the back and 4 poineer speakers, five inch. It has a custom roll pan, ABS new front tires, warn drive tire. It has aftermacket vinals reading EARTHQUAKE in the rear window . flowmaster super 44 2 1/2 inch pipes, with a moderate muffler. tinted rear windows, it is a crew cab. front bumper has a few scratces and there are a few dents. how much would you think it was worth? he is looking into buying a new truck or working on this one
mariok answers:
Right now he could easily get 1500 bucks for it ,because anything that runs and drives good will bring that much,i sold a 98 dodge caravan today with over 150 thousand for 2000 bucks so his truck would easily bring 1500 or more,good luck
Paul asks…
What would a be a comparable vehicle for replacing my Oldsmobile Intrigue GL?
I love my 1999 Intrigue GL! Despite a few quirks which were fixed by GM, it has exceeded my once hesistant expectations. I have climate control, tinted windows, 3.8L engine, leather, steering wheel controls and auto headlights. I have reached the 150,000 mark and am now becoming increasingly concerned about being left on the side of the road one of these days. I am looking at about $1000 in repairs to prepare for a 700 mile trip. The car has served its purpose and it is now coming time to sadly say goodbye.
So I’d rather put the money towards a new/newer vehicle that’ll last beyond the trip and hopefully eight years as this one has. I want another good quality car and I’d rather go as American made as possible, but I’m open to a foreign vehicle for better quality. My concerns are of course gas efficiency (at least 27 mpg), comparable options and engine, and value. I don’t require a standard car either as long the mpg is up to par.
Anyone have any suggestions please?? I’m stuck…
mariok answers:
Start by going to http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/byMPG.htm. This site allows you to search by year and fuel mileage. 25 mpg is the closest to your desired 27. Family size sedans will be the largest vehicles that achieve this mileage. Most will be manual transmission.
You can make the tradeoff between fuel mileage and luxury.

Joseph asks…
Which one of these cars should i get?
Red: http://image.automotive.com/f/features/9552383+pheader/eurp_0601_01_z+2001_jetta_18t+side_view.jpg
Grey: http://www.vwfixx.com/dubs/69/images/mark-2005jetta-1.jpg
( imagine the grey one as a 2000 model jetta- like the other 3 )
Blue: http://www.benlevy.com/ auto /show/tref06/img_9377.jpg
( imagine blue with the same wheels as the other 3 )
Black: http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/2/925/841/14810420044_large.jpg
These aren’t the exact cars I’m getting, but they’ll be close because I’m getting a 00-03 jetta and tinting the windows and putting new rims/tires on it.
mariok answers:
I like the gray first and then the black. My friend had the blue one so I always think of the blue jetta as a girly car ha. I really like the gray though. I have a black car and it gets dirty so easily, but I don’t think gray gets dirty as quickly.
