Not only does it impact everyone at those companies, but everyone at each independent company that makes parts for GM and Chrysler.

All the rain and sleet has to get off your window somehow. It is important to keep this in mind when writing your list of priorities on what to fix.

If you are buying a used car from a private source, make sure you have a mechanic give the car a thorough inspection before you commit to buy or hand over any money whatsoever. You may have to pay to get someone to look over a car for you, but when you are buying a used car from a classified ad, you really need to know what you are getting into. If you know a mechanic who would do this for you for free, take them up on the offer. Don’t trust your eye if you don’t know much about cars.
