Dear Motor Medics,I’m in the market for a used vehicle and my budget can afford something in the $10k range but I am a guy who likes a fancier ride like a Cadillac or Lincoln so that means my $10k will buy me a lot less car than if I were to purchase a smaller more mainstream brand vehicle. I have ended up with what I call lemons in the past which have cost me almost what I paid for them in repairs over a few years of ownership. I found out one had been in several wrecks and even was salvaged at one time. How can I protect my-self during a purchase? They all seemed so good on the test drive. Mark in Wyandot MichiganDear Mark,We have several of our listeners in this position. They went with a luxury car that was ten years old instead of a standard car that’s just a couple years old with factory warranty. When you buy an older car the added miles and time take their toll and you are bound to have more problems. To protect yourself as best as you can we strongly suggest you do at least two things in addition to the test drive. Those two things are a title history check to find out if there are damage brands reported and a mechanical inspection done by a professional mechanic. These aren’t fool proof but do catch a lot of faults. Take care, the Motor Medics

4/30/1968 - Traffic back-ing up on the Kittanning bridge was a hot topic. Motorists were faced with a closed travel lane because of potholes. They are becoming com-monplace as heavy load-ing increases on the dete-riorating concrete of the bridge floor. One way of expediting traffic flow during periods of repair on the bridge would be to keep east-bound traf-fic making a right turn on Water Street moving during rush hours. Cau-tion lights on all other intersecting streets at the bridge would handle the relatively light traffic in that direction during morning rush hours. Po-licemen to direct traffic would be necessary in the afternoon. Admit-tedly the proposal has its drawbacks, but the recurring specter of an east-bound traffic lane stacked up to the Kittan-ning Highlands demands some remedial action. 4/30/1963 - A Ford City native, James J. Da-vis, this week opened a new funeral home here in what was for-merly the Walter E. Rittenhouse home, North Jefferson Street at Vine, in Kittanning.

Steim, former well known Kit-tanning hotel man, are glad to learn that he is

able to be up and around in his home on North McKean Street today following a sudden at-tack of acute indiges-tion with which he was seized on North Grant Avenue near the depot yesterday afternoon. Mr. Steim’s daughter, Miss Marie Steim, suffered a fracture of her left arm near the shoulder in a fall down the steps of the rear porch of her home in her anxiety to meet her father just af-ter she learned he had been taken ill and was being brought home. 4/30/1930 - The first of a fleet of eight large barges being built for the Allegheny River Sand Corporation’s plant at Reesedale was launched yesterday afternoon.
