Try the Pontiac Grand Am Heating/Cooling discussion. Someone in post 25 had a similar issue, although I don't see a solution posted.

#2905 of 2979 another lease/buy question: which is better financially for me by carteach

Jan 12, 2012 (11:40 am)

I'm about to sell my 2006 Acura. I should get about 14K for it. I had originally planned to use that money for a down payment on another car which I'd probably keep another five years. (My logic is that I'd always have a down payment in the value of my old car.) But now I'm wondering whether I'd be better off putting that $14K in the bank/cd/?? and lease a car for three years. I've owned many cars, so the buying process is not new to me. But I have no clue about leasing.
 
I drive about 15K miles a year. Have two dogs (planning on wagon/suv with them NOT on the seats) that would go in it very occasionally and two grandkids that I tote around once in a while.
 
One more thing, I would not want a base model of any car I chose. I'd be looking to lease or buy close to the top of the line. Don't know whether this fact makes any difference in the equation.
 
Thanks.

Your question is a great fit for our Leasing vs Purchasing discussion, so you might just click on my link and re-post there.
 
Don't be put off by the fact that the last post there is from a year ago - members who have experience with both transactions tend to keep those discussions on a "watch" list, and will jump in when they see a new post. Our members like nothing better than to help spend other people's money.
 
I think you'll get a variety of feedback there!

It sounds like you're looking at sedans. If that's the case, our members in our Midsize Sedans discussion will be happy to share their experiences. That discussion covers all of the non-luxury midsize sedans, like the Camry, Accord, and Sonata.

For some reason the web site is not intuitive to me, and I can't quite see how to start a new thread in any particular discussion group... Could you switch my question there?

Sure - it's right here now:
http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f12d514/16732#MSG16732
 
For future reference, if you are in a discussion, you need to go to the LAST page of messages in that discussion (there's a "last" link above the first message, and also below the last message on any given page). When you are on the LAST page of messages, you will see a "post a message" box. You can also post in a discussion by hitting "reply" on any existing message.
 
I know we're different around here, but starting new threads for each individual question actually often results in your question being overlooked. If you ever need help finding a good place to post your question, just ask here, or email any host, and we'll be happy to help you.

#2912 of 2979 missing thread.... by odie6l

Jan 19, 2012 (7:01 am)

I've gone through the entire set of threads here in the News & Views, and also the archives (which there are not many) looking for an older thread. Does anyone remember the "Where in the World are you?" thread. I need to find out from whoever posted the map where they got the program to be able to place where everyone is.
 
Thanks.

I think Sneakers did it manually.
