Using tiptronic to save gas?

I have a 2000 Honda Prelude with a tiptronic and I've been shifting the car into 4th gear as early as the computer will let me. This has indeed improved my mileage. I drive around the streets most of the week. But does this have any negative effects on the car? Just wondering.

Wanting to buy used car, how to negotiate the price?

My husband and I are college students and I only have one year left. We have a Honda 2005, that seems like there's something always wrong with it. Before my husband and I got married, he bought the Honda, but his parents told him he could only get that car or they wouldn't co-sign. The car still has 3500 on its loan and probably another two years of payments. It also has 235,968 miles on it.
We just took it for an oil change yesterday and supposedly the transmission is leaking as well as the axel, but we don't see any leaks.
Yesterday, we went to look at used cars and found a Hyundai Elantra 2013 for $13,400 and it has 51,000 miles on it. We want to get a better car that will actually last us, instead of fall apart on us and we do not want to put more money out on it than it is actually worth. I know this is a rough situation and the car is probably not worth $3500. I mean it is probably in fair to good condition.
How can we negotiate for a better price than $13,400?

What are my legal options for my situation?

My apartment complex had my car towed because I parked in one of the assigned parking spots. That particular spot is not assigned to anyone because it belongs to apt 210p in which no one lives in and I know because it's next door to me. I have been parking in that spot for about a month already with no trouble because no one uses it. The apartment complex doesn't have any signs that says assigned parking only anywhere. On the warning slip they put on my car it says that it was written at 11:15 am and that it would be towed at 11:50 am. What is the legal time frame they have to give me To move the car? If they don't have a sign saying its reserved parking what can I do? The slip they put on my car didn't have the vin on my car it only had the license plate number. It only said Honda and the color black that's about it it didn't have no signature from the office manager or other employee. What are my options?
