it's an incentive to you to bring your old part back for overhaul and resale as you get the core charge back when the return of the core (or part you are replacing)
When you buy a part (example, starter,alternator or battery and other things they want your old part as they send them back to to be rebuilt and sold again, if you dont have it they will charge you what they call a core charge.
It's a government charge or fee for fiance
check the starter
First, turn on the headlights. Now, have someone watch them as you try to start the car; do they get dim? If so, the battery is in need of a charge; If not, you need to check your connections at the starter. You may have a bad starter, starter solenoid, or connection.
If you did not sign the contract, then the car does not belong to you. However, they can charge you a daily rate for having the car (as if you had rented it).
A starter does drain a battery. The battery holds a charge so that you can use your starter to start the car. After the car is started the alternator recharges your battery and runs your car and all it's accessories. If your car won't start or is having a hard time starting you can drain your battery by repeated unsuccessful attempts to start it.
A destination charge does not exist on used cars. A used car dealership that tries to include a destination charge is trying swindle the person buying the car out of their money.
where is the starter located on the car?
the low pressure port is under the car in front of the starter... took me forever to find it.
go to your local garage/mechanic and ask him/her to check the charge in your battery
A battery jump starter works by taking the charge from another battery, such as in another car, and passing it to the dead battery. When the charge is sufficient in starting the dead battery, it should then start charging itself as the engine runs.
I did it on a 98 Malibu by buying a remote starter and having it installed at car toys.
