i am finally finished with my heat system. it's a hot water solar collector, with a heat exchanger from the woodstove. it then travels thru the concreet slab for heat. the problem is that i'm getting mixed messages from people about what type of anti freeze to run in it. the solar pannels will be turned off at night and will get very cold. i was told that i need some special fluid for the system at $ 22.00 per gallon. i need 30 gallons! my origanal plan was to get some recycled anti freeze from a local auto salvage. any thoughts? thanks john

I have to do a few repairs on my 2001 Dodge 1500 4×4, like hub bearings and axel bearings. When checking part prices I found that prices for 00-01 are about $70 HIGHER for hub bearings than 98-98. A guy I know that runs an auto salvage yard tells me they are the same part. He says I should buy the 98-99 part because the parts dealers are just trying to make more money off parts for newer model vehicles. Now, normally I would think a salvage yard was trying to dupe me if they told me something like that but he didn't try to get me to buy a part from him, just told me to go ahead and buy the older model parts. Does anyone know if this information is accurate?

I was in a car accident about 3 weeks ago. After choosing a repair shop which is also a blue-ribbon provider for my insurance, it’s taken all this time for them to tell me they are going to take my car to another shop for repair because the initial shop doesn’t like to do the repair that the insurance adjuster is recommending.
Ok, here’s the deal I have a 07 Charger that was rear-ended the first shop told me that he would try to pull the rear-end out but he ended up having to cut the rear passenger ¼ panel, replacing the floor pan and some other things, now the insurance adjuster is wanting to do something called a rear-end clip (getting a salvage rear end) to replace the damaged one. I asked the first repair shop owner why he didn’t want to do the repair. He replied that it wasn’t worth the trouble. So of course that sounded a little fishy to me so I called some other local repair shops and was basically told that there was risk involved and liability. I would like to know what the safety risks of such a repair are and I don’t like the fact that I have to send my car to another shop because the first doesn’t want to do the repair.
I just got off the phone with my insurance company about and hour ago and they have decided to total the car. Thanks everyone for your response

the adjuster told me that I wouldn't have a salvage title but the car has already been chopped by the first repair shop.

OK, I asked another question yesterday about unknowingly being sold a car with a salvage title — http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061128073937AAwWAu9 — which the dealership is supposedly still uncertain of.
Well, the saga continues. Now they claim they should get the title today, they're just waiting for the auction people to send it. I've been told that the auction part is normal, though them not knowing any details about their purchase seems odd, to say the least.
They're claiming they're in the same position I'm in! Isn't it their responsibility to know? Plus when I asked they insisted it hadn't been in a wreck, and they went further to give me a warranty.
Assuming the car has only been in a wreck (that resulted in a settlement for $13k in 12/2005) how does that effect the so-called bumper-to-bumper warranty they gave me? Is this alone fraud, even if it doesn't have a salvage title?
Shouldn't they reduce the price? Am I stuck?
(I'm in TX.)
I purchased the car 11/22 but didn't get the insurance stuff until after the Thanksgiving holiday. That's when my insurance agent discovered the wreck, on 11/27.
I have called the TX Attorney General and the DMV and they're telling me to submit a complaint. I'm going to call the legal people provided through my job later today, but I was hoping to settle this peacefully.
Initially they seemed to won't to resolve this, yesterday they implied they were already looking for a new Ion, and insisted they wouldn't leave me in a wrecked vehicle.
Now it just seems like they're trying to get out of it and shirk responsibility. But I don't think ignorance is an adequate defense. At the very least I think the price should be lowered, or I should be released from the contract.
I do know that I would not have bought the car had they told me it was in a $13k wreck and they acknowledge that that's likely the case. Still, they insist the wreck doesn't effect our deal.
I got it from a smaller local dealer called Auto Max.
My issue with the wreck is that I specifically asked if it had been in a wreck and they said no. I asked two separate salesmen and they both said no.
My insurance agent only found the $13k claim through one insurance company — he was checking them all for the lowest price. None of the other insurance companies were showing this claim BUT I'm sure the dealership knew what was what.
I can't accept that the auction didn't let them know the history of that car — I'm sure the truth of the matter was in the price they paid for it. If they got a severely discounted price on it they had to know why, in my opinion. I doubt they got gypped too.
Though, I did initially give them the benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe they really didn't know, but now I'm thinking the shock was more a reaction to the fact that I found out about it, rather than true ignorance/innocence.
And still, they claim they don't have the title.

I have a full coverage for my car…and due to an accident (no-fault accident, hit and run on highway, and still under investigation), the car was damaged a lot and my insurance company decided not to fix it for me and just pay me the value of the car.
The process of getting the value of the car, deciding whether to fix it or not, salvage value…and so on….it took about 1 month.
Meanwhile, my car was in a local garage where the police officer called when the accident happened. I told my insurance company that my car was towed to this local garage, and asked them to get it from there (I called them while I was in ER)
I thought they took care of it…but now looking at the settlement, my insurance company charged me $3,000 for local garage storage fee. (The garage charged my insurance company, and eventually I had to pay for it.)
Does it make any sense? My insurance company decided to leave my car at this local garage. If I knew I had to pay about $3,000 for my car parked at this ramdom local garage, I probably asked them to tow the car to my backyard!!!
I am trying to call the claim adjuster and talk to her. But since the settlement letter was sent to me, she is extremely hostile and treats me like a piece of ****. She thinks everything is finished and she has no more business with me about this accident. She was almost screaming at me on the phone when I asked to look at the settlement again….
Should I talk to a lawyer or call the State department for insurance settlement and reopen the case? I don't have a car now and I owe $3000 to the garage….even though I had a full coverage insurance? (but the way, this is after $500 deductibles that I paid)
I don't understand! please help
thank you
thank you so much for your help.
I just found that another settlement document that my insurance company sent me about 2 weeks ago. On that paper, they did not deduct the $3000 for storage fee.
About 2 weeks later, they decided to amend the settlement (of course, I wasn't informed!) and sent me the one with $3000 deduction. I guess they realized that they paid too much money to the garage and changed their mind and made me pay.
I think I will talk to a lawyer who is a good friend of mine and see what he thinks. If he thinks it is better to have a lawyer on my side, I will go for it even though it will cost me at least $1000. I am very furious about how badly the insurance company treated me although I was their customer for more than 7 years with no accident and no tickets whatsoever! I really wish to speak up but no one is listening…so I might just gor for a lawyer
Thank you all for your wonderful answers. I wish I can choose all as the best answers. thanks!!!

Do auto insurance companys charge you more if you are insuring a car with a salvaged title?
