Q: Does anyone know how much it costs to have brakes repaired on a car in illinois?

Then pick up your phone and ask them.

Q: A dealer bought my and I bought a new one from a different dealership how do I get a tax credit?
Car was sold in Illinois and bought my new one in Iowa.
When I mention tax credit I mean the sales tax credit.
I was told from the dealer that if I bought a car in the future I would have a sales tax credit on the purchase….seems fishy, hopefully i didn’t get screwed.

A: The way to get sales tax credit would be to trade your car in on the new purchase at the same dealership. Not all states offer tax credit, such as Michigan, however I know Illinois does. I don’t have my charts with me, so I don’t know if Iowa offers credit.

It sounds like you may have sold your car to Carmax and purchased your vehicle from a different dealership. You loose the credit that way, however if the dealership was offering you much less than Carmax or the dealership you sold it to was, then you still came out ahead. Your situation happens a lot, specially if Carmax gives you more for your trade. I would suggest getting your vehicle appraised by say Carmax and compare it to what the dealership is giving you. Compare your

v/s Carmax trade in. I hope this helps you!

Q: My 2007 car was stolen. Will insurance give me blue book value only or also tax I need to pay for new car?
Description pretty much covers it. This is in Illinois and I’m wondering if I will be getting screwed out of the ~$1,300 of tax on buying another similar vehicle. If so, it really sucks how the insurance companies handle this.

A: Book value.

Not blue book, but actual book value,. which tends to be about 20-30% less than you’d think.

And no, they don’t care at all about taxes. That’s not their problem. All they had to do was insure the value of your last car. Not provide you with another one.

Q: My Friend just bought a Brand new car from the dealer today can she still return it?
She purchased a 2009 car today and realized that she made a mistake by buying on impulse…can she still take it back. I think I have heard that you can take a car back to the dealer for a full refund within 3 business days of the date you signed papers. Is this true?

She lives in Illinois

A: She will probably be able to return it, but it won’t be free. She will have to pay penalties for breaking a contract. It’s not going to be pretty. It all depends on the stealership.

Q: can you get license plates if your license is suspended in the state of illinois?
i got my licence suspended and now my parents bought me a new car and need me to get plates for it. can i get license plates for my car if my license is suspended?

A: Yes, assuming of course that you can get insurance coverage for it. That may be difficult with a suspended license, and you need to show proof of insurance to get plates.

Q: Do I have to get new plates for my car now?
I moved from Illinois to Indiana, the plates on my car though dont expire till October. Can I wait till then to get new ones? I have to get my drivers liscense switched to a Indiana one, so I don’t know if that makes a difference. Thanks!

A: I had the same problem when i moved to Indiana from California, if you have out of state plates and a out of state drivers licence, just wait till October and get both of them done at the same time, you usually have problems when you move from a state that gives you one plate like Indiana, to a state that makes you have front and back plates like Illinois, and California.

Q: Illinois: What is the percentage the IRS can garnish from my payroll to pay for past taxes?
1) I owe the IRS $$
2) What percent can/will they collect from my payroll?
3) I get paid twice a month
4) Does the percentage depend on how much money you make?
5) Does the percentage depend on how much money you owe?

I owe 24,000 (kinda like a new car)

A: Because you owe the IRS they can garnish up to 40% of your gross income. It doesn’t matter how much money you make or who you owe. The way it is seen is that you owed them first and therefore that debt is your first obligation. Good luck!

Q: 7 months in Illinois 5 in Florida,do I need to change my driver license and license plates every time?
My husband got a new job, and he has to be in Illinois for 7 months and in florida for 5. Does anybody know if we would have to change our mailing address, drivers license and our cars license plates every 5 and 7 months?

A: Unless he is in the military or a full time college student, yes you do have to change

Q: how much do license plates cost in the state of Illinois?
i just got a new car so…. and can the car be in my name? im under age(16)

A: I havent had to buy new plates in a long time but i believe they are $78.00. You should have already paid taxes at the dealership so that should be the only amount to pay unless you want a vanity plate.

Q: Car Insurance for my 16 year old in Illinois. My ex husband is buying him a brand new 07 Chrysler Sebring.?
He doesn’t deserve it either. My son has been living with his dad for the past 2 years. He get horrible grades and has no responsibility none whatso ever. They are asking me to look into how much it would be for insurance on my plan. So anyone have any ideas?
I know it will be alot. I want to get the info to show that it is tooooo much.
I am totally against this idea of him getting a new car and I will not have it on my insurance. I agree, he lives with his dad, his dad is going to have to put it on his policy.

A: If the car is in his name then it will be a bunch of money.

If it is in one of your names, and he is not listed as the principle driver, then it will still be a fair amount but not near as bad as having the car in his name.

The boy needs to be listed as the principle driver on the worst car that you have. By that, I mean the oldest and cheapest car that you own.

It must be nice to be 16 and have a new car. It took me a long time to get mine, and it was a cheap one to boot, but I paid for it by myself and that was a good feeling.

Just hopes he doesn’t wreck it, or your insurance will hit the roof. good luck

Q: Ok, about buying a new vehicle which runs on corn (ethanol)?
I heard the gas made out of corn is cheaper than the gas bought from Mobile or Exxon. What kind of cars run on corn fuel and how do you know if your car is able to use it?
I live in Illinois and I am interested in alternative fuel to support our farmers, and think I should buy my next car to support the gas made out of corn. There is corn and soybean fields on all 4 sides of me in the summer time. What kinds of cars run on the new corn gas, and how hard is it to find at a gas station in Illinois?

A: Get a cow. They run directly on corn though it is more economical to supplement with grass and other wild vegetables. They do produce a lot of greenhouse gas though and give a rather bumpy ride. They are prone to stopping wherever there is fresh green grass, though that is not always a bad thing. They give milk too, so always take cookies when riding a cow.

Oh, and be certain it is not a bull. No milk, nasty disposition, unbearably bumpy ride while it lasts. Do NOT try milking it but always be ready to run like the blazes.

Q: How long does it take to get a replacement title in Illinois?
I’m buying a car from a friend of mine in Illinois. He said he lost the title (its a salvage title if that makes a difference) when he was cleaning out his work desk. Does anyone know how long the DMV typically takes to get a new title issued?

A: It will depend on how backed up they are. It took 3 weeks when we applied for one.

Q: car title question, Illinois?
I bought a brand new car eight months ago, it is not paid off yet. Do I still get a title? I’ve never received the title.

A: The bank has the title, they own it. You only get the title when it’s paid off.

You should have registration.

You only need the title if you want to sell it.

Q: Moving To Other State. How Can I Make Title and Registration For Car?
I’m student in New York State College and I have Illinois Driver License.
I bought a car 5 months ago and it is title and registered in New York State.
Right now, Im planning to title and register my car to illinois state.
But I cant drive to illinois DMV right now (School work).
So is there anyway i can get title and register my car to illinois while Im in New York State?
Im not sure how to start and what to do.
Please help.

A: I’m pretty sure you will have to go to the DMV in person. You can call them and see. I would just wait till I have time if it was me.

Hope this helps and good luck

Q: What steps do I need to take to transfer the title on my car to another person. What else do I need to do?
I live in Illinois and I am selling the car as a private owner.
The car is not currently insured because I just bought a new car and transfered the insurance to that car.

A: If you have the title, sign in sellor section, have buyer sign in buyer section. Give him the paperwork so he can go to DMV and start his transfer. Make sure you get the buyers information and do a Release of Liability. Keep copies for your records.
