How long will a 2008 Honda Accord last me?

It's my mom s and I've been driving it a few years, it's currently worth $5,000 so I'm debating buying it from her. She s saying I should just get a new one now so it ll last me a lot longer, which I do agree with, but she s saying the Honda will break down "any day now" so I'm wondering how dramatic she s being…
It's 2008, shows no problems except the ac doesn't work too well, I believe 18 MPG, and it has 115,000 miles. She doesn't believe it will last even another year, at most two years, so I'm coming here to ask how accurate her statement is… (I use it for driving to work and school. I don't have a life besides that…)

How do I negotiate a car deal when I already have a preapproved car loan?

So I got preapproved for 12,000 at Navy Fed Credit Union (I only plan on spending at most 7500 of it though). Now, I know not to disclose that I'm preapproved with them to begin with, but how would I go about negotiating the price without saying that I will be paying with a loan? When exactly do I disclose to them that I have a loan to pay for the car? Basically, all in all what can I do to maximize my benefit when dealing the car I want? I also have about 2500 cash saved up that I can spend so am I also able to use that and then cover the rest with the loan? For example, I'm looking at a Honda Accord listed for 6995, can I use 2500 and pay the 4500 hundred and taxes and such with my loan?

How can a vehicle s registration/ownership be transferred to the current owner s daughter?

I have a 2007 Honda Accord, except my problem is that I do not technically own it. My dad does. That being said, my father has brain cancer and is in a specialized memory care nursing home. My legal guardianship of him, but lives halfway across the country.
As my uncle is my father s guardian, he is taking care of the monthly payments on the car for now and the rest of my father s financial needs.
But like I said, I would like to have legal ownership of the car so that I may be the one that takes care of tag renewals and everything that would normally go through him. I just have no clue how to go about any of this, as it is obviously not abnormal situation.

How do I negotiate with a car dealer when I have a preapproved loan from my bank (Navy Fed Credit Union)?

So I'm on the hunt for a car, which will be a used one, and I went to Navy Fed and got preapproved for 12,000 BUT I only want to use at most 8,000 of it for a decent car (so my monthly payment won't be too high). So how do I negotiate with a car dealer to get the maximum savin gas on my behalf? For example, I'm looking at an 07 Honda Accord Ex-l listed at 8900. Can I treat my auto loan check as cash and claim I can give them 8000 for it? Can I used what I have saved up (2,000 cash) + 6,000 dollars worth of my loan check to take the car?

Buying a 2007 Honda Accord Lx for $6220 from the dealer

So I'm a student and I wanted to get into a better car than what I have now which is a 1999 Toyota Corolla. I went to go look at a Honda Accord that I test drove and I really want to buy it. It has 73,000 miles and compared to all the other cars I've been looking at the price is great. Now I haven't signed any papers or placed a down payment yet but I'm aware that they still need to charge Ny taxes and other dealership fees. So I would like to place a $3500 down payment and put the rest on my credit card so that I won't have to get a loan from the dealership. Do you think that is a smart idea?
