Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An automobile, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. However, the term automobile is far from precise, because there are many types of vehicles that do similar tasks. As of 2002, there were 590 million passenger cars worldwide (roughly one car per eleven people). Around the world, there were about 806 million cars and light trucks on the road in 2007; they burn over 260 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel yearly. The numbers are increasing rapidly, especially in China and India. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License My car got totalled in an accident, insurance company wants to buy it. How much will they pay me? Q. I have a 1993 Nissan NX which was in a decent condition and never gave me any problems. Recently it got rear-ended. The other party's insurance took the responsibility and asked me to get an estimate. The estimate says the repair costs are about $5000 and the mechanic thinks the insurance company will buy the car from me. What price would they pay me for the car? I am a student and wasn't planning on buying a new car. What price should I be happy with. I paid about $2800 8 months ago for the car. Would they be willing to negotiate. If yes, how do I negotiate?

This is because NADA is based on the actual selling prices of vehs, KBB is based on the ASKING prices of dealers for the same veh. KBB will therefore show a higher "value" for your veh. The value will take into account mileage on the veh, and the insurance company may adjust for prior dmg/condition. Most companies will give you more the veh if you have recently put in a new engine, transmission, or possible new paint job on entire veh. (You will need receipts for the same--and you will only recoup part of the cost of the refurbishments.) Also, the insurace company will take into account the salvage value of your veh--what a salvage yard… [cont.] Answered by vixeninavw - Tue Feb 6 13:26:34 2007 Do you die from car gas if you start the car in the garage with garage door shut ? Q. I need a serious answer . You are in the house and the car is in the garage. You start up the car and close the garage door shut, the garage does have the little small spot for air. Can you die or suffer intoxication (or how that's call) from the CO2 that the car release while you are in the house ??? I don't think so but my mom kept arguing with me and open the garage door ~_~. Unless you are deathtrap or something. I don't want to but it is winter and it's so cold to leave it open >< . Asked by Vitz - Fri Jan 11 20:18:22 2008 - - 19 Answers - 0 Comments A. You may not want to open the door because it's cold, but if there is incomplete combustion in a closed area you will have enough CO produced to make you sick or kill you. The engine of a car has very incomplete combustion of the gas and CO is produced in unhealthy quantity and the effect ic umulative, you don't get rid of the CO in your bloodstream for a while. Listen to your mom "Carbon monoxide is produced by furnaces, water heaters, cooking ranges and idling cars. It is a colorless and odorless gas that cannot be detected by smell, taste or sight. The gas is not only deadly, but deceptive as well, because carbon monoxide poisoning often masquerades as other illnesses" Answered by ImaHarper - Fri Jan 11 20:30:02 2008 What is car allowance and how does it work?
Q. I will receive a car allowance, but I dont know how this works... Will I receive all the money once or will I receive monthly? With this money I can buy a car or maintain my own car? Asked by Ruby Heart - Wed Jun 11 14:20:32 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Firstly I assume this is a payment monthly to buy a car rather than a mileage allowance based on distance travelled using your own car. Often there is a requirement that you buy and maintain a car, but the specifics vary (I must have a car but my last job required that I had a 5 door diesel car not more than 6 years old) It is effectively and extra payment in order to allow you to buy a car for your work. It can also be used as a top up for salaries (e.g. where there is a salary structure and you're at the top end of pay for your grade). You will be taxed on it at the tax rate you are on, and the figure is added to your gross salary for tax calculation - so if it takes you over the 40% threshold, you pay 40% tax for that part of the… [cont.] Answered by Ronaldobhoy - Thu Jun 12 04:45:59 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "car"  news.google.com OregonLive.com A man on his bike in a crosswalk was struck this afternoon by a car that witnesses said did not yield, Gresham Police said. ...
