Q: Is there any realtor or builder in Austin that will take a home as a trade in for a new one? Like w/ cars?
We have a home and want a larger one for hopeful increase in family size. However, we do not want the stress of selling and then buying. One step would be so very nice. I know one of the builders did something like this around 10 years ago but it appears they are no longer in business and I am hoping someone else has the same type of option.

A: Hm. I’ve never heard of one. Might check the Chronicle’s or Statesman’s classifieds, though.

Q: Where can I buy an AUSTIN AMERICA CAR?
Ever since I saw one drive past me on New Years Eve I completely loved the car and wanted one for myself. Well, to my misfortune they are really hard to find. I’ve tried all the car add websites and waited for a new post on the Austin America website, but no luck. How do you think I can get my hands on one of these cars?

A: You do understand these have not been made for many years. And parts are impossible to get. If ever there was an orphan car, that would be it.

Q: Are old Austin mini coopers worth buying, like the 1986-1988 ones and are they classic cars to show off with?

A: Mini themselves have a great image i had a 1979 Mini 1000 many many years ago.it got a lot of respect and they still have a good following.

Q: Where can I find some project cars for good prices?
For my first car I would like to get a project car to fix up! I’m looking on the web and can’t find anything. To be specific I am looking cars like classic cars like woodys, mustangs, maybe if it’s cheap enough, a ferrari (i doubt this is possible), but if you have an idea or answer please answer. Or maybe some other classics like austin healys, cars like this, and karman gias. Thanks!

A: Just write key words in google, like used cars. vintage cars, classic cars. Web sites will appear.

Q: Is it Possible to go to School in Austin or Phoenix without a Car?
I’m not going to be able to take my car with me when I transfer out of state from Richmond,Virginia. I am looking at schools out of state and would like to work, live and go to school in either downtown Phoenix, Arizona or Austin, Texas.

Is it possible to live without a car in either cities and still have a fun life. A lot of college students here in Richmond don’t have cars so they have to make friends with people with cars, and/or only work,play and live downtown.
Also in Richmond there are lots of jobs, and leisure activities downtown and we are a city of only over 200,000. So, aren’t I right in assuming downtown Austin and Phoenix will have even more opportunities for young non-drivers?
* I will be living on campus only for a while as well.

A: Phoenix has a GREAT public transit system. I went to college there with no car and it was a breeze. There is a bus for every major street and lots of minor ones too. There are plenty of express routes as well and now they also have a light rail. You can get a monthly bus pass for cheap and they’re pretty darn reliable time-wise. Because of all the colleges in the area, there are also a lot of starter jobs for college students.

You also need to keep in mind that the transit system stretches to Tempe as well so it’s not like it keeps you stuck within Metro Phoenix. Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Peoria, etc are all easily reachable via public transport. Public transport is never a 100% clean or creepy people free experience, but compared to a lot of cities, Phoenix has a great system going. I used it the entire time I was going to college there and never had a problem. Sometimes I’d even bike part way and throw my bike on the front of the bus for part of the ride. Because it’s so hot in the summer, they really have to have a good public transit system or no one would get anywhere =) You can’t walk or bike when it’s 120.

For the first summer you’ll be telling people “DRY HEAT MY @$$!!!!” but you will get used to it. The first time you fly home to Richmond during the summer, you’ll see what I mean. I was always poo-pooing “dry heat” until I stepped off a plane in Chicago when it was 89 (100% humidity) and I couldn’t breathe. You don’t sweat when it’s 120 in Phoenix either. Well, you do, but because of the low humidity it just evaporates. You’re hot, but you’re not uncomfortable.

Q: How can i get my car to austin from houston with out a registration sticker?
i have a car that my grandparents just bought for me but i need to get it registered in austin so that i can drive it. Are there any exceptions with the law that will allow me to do so until i get the sticker next week?

A: Auto Registration in the state of Texas covers the entire state – in other words, you don’t have to have it registered in a specific city… All that matters is that you get it registered to your name and your current address. If you register at the DMV, you’ll get paperwork that shows that you registered the car in case you get pulled over on your way back to Austin.

Q: How to registered a japanese car in Austin,Texas?
I imported an 1997 Honda civic hatchback SiR into Austin, I have the bill of landing and bill of when the car was purchased in Japan. I heard that If I have the title I can claim or do a bonded title. But since my car didn’t come with a title what can I do to get it registered?. Can I file a “lost title” for my car, I’d have the “bill of landing” and the bill of the car being purchased. Would those paperwork be enough? Any replies would be helpful!

A: You do not have a “lost title” situation. You can go to the County Tax office on Airport and get the paperwork for a title to register in Texas.

First-time Registration
If you are registering your vehicle for the first time in Texas, there are two things you need to do:

Get your vehicle officially inspected for safety at an approved station and receive a Vehicle Identification Certificate of Inspection. Approved stations and garages will have a sign posted stating that they are an official inspection station.
Go to your local County Tax Assessor-Collectors office with proof of ownership (i.e., the title) and insurance, and apply for your registration stickers. These stickers show the expiration month on the left and the expiration year on the right, along with a serial number. They cannot be transferred to any other vehicle and must stay with the car you registered.
These registration stickers are valid for one year. But to save yourself time and trouble, you can prepay for two or even three years. In this case, you will automatically be sent the new stickers each year.

Q: Used Cars Dealers For Senior Citizens Austin TX?

Q: Cars similar to the Austin Healey Sprite?
I’m going to be getting a new car soon, and I’ve been looking at classic convertible cars. My absolute favorite has been a 65′ Austin Healey Sprite (not the bug-eyed ones). However I don’t think it is quite the right car for me because one, it is an old British car so parts will be expensive, and two, its definitely on the small end of cars.
So does anybody know of a car that looks somewhat like the Sprites but larger and if possible American made? I’m not looking for huge cars, but the Sprites look oddly small to me.
This is an Austin Healey Sprite: http://www.shannons.com.au/library/images/auctions/VA3644CD8BSA45G0_medium.jpg

And if there is no such car, any suggestions for cute classic cars that are on the more affordable end would help me out too.

A: the closest one is the mini cooper
