It is bolted to the Evaporative Emissions Canister, which is mounted on the passenger side of the gas tank (between the gas tank and the passenger side rear wheel). There are several valves and such there, so refer to a shop manual to get the correct one.
Q

Are they expensive to repair? How reliable are they? What kind of mileage could i expect out of it? 40-50 mpg? or just any bits of information that might be helpful in purchasing one

They are slow, have no room, and ugly. If it needs repairs then its going to cost you a fortune. The mileage should be 50+ as long as you don't use the A/C or roll the windows down. Your best mileage will be in the city not the highway. sk - They don't reissue the car because nobody bought it the...
Q
My 300ZX making a ticking/knocking sound?
It is coming from the lower engine or possibly my transmission. I just did an oil change on it after I heard the sound to see if it needed it, but that wasn't the case. It's an automatic car, and makes the sounds while in any of the gears. This has got me very confused, please anyone with any insight help me.

Sounds like good ol' fashioned Nissan lifter tick. Nothing to worry about so long as it's actually the lifters and not something else. If it's a KNOCKING sound, then I would take it in to get a closer look at. Cheers.
Q
Would a mid-nineties BMW 325i be a good first car?
For my son. We have a 1995 Honda Civic, but he doesn't seem to like it very much; he complains it lacks power and is just a too small for him. He says he'd be interested in something like a 325i, but I'm not sure. The only ones I can find are high mileage ones, though most seem in decent condition. I've heard that older BMW's have maintenance...

The new Insight enters a segment of the new-car market long dominated by the Toyota Prius, and only the Prius.
To a lesser degree, the Honda Civic Hybrid has competed with the Prius; unlike the Prius and the new Insight, the Civic Hybrid has essentially the same outward appearance as the mainstream Civic sedan models, but with Honda's IMA hybrid system to yield fuel economy ratings of 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway.
The 2010 Honda Insight has a similar hybrid system, but the rest of the package is unique, with a versatile hatchback arrangement and a more memorable look that screams "hybrid." Backseat headroom is a bit short in the Insight.
Another alternative is Honda's own Fit, which returns fuel economy in the 30s in normal driving and has an amazingly vast and versatile interior, thanks to the so-called Magic Seat arrangement, along with very crisp, responsive handling.
Those who plan to do a lot of highway driving will also be happy with the Jetta Sportwagen TDI, which gets similar mileage on the highway, in a big, roomy vehicle, albeit with lower numbers in the city.
Then there's the Smart Fortwo, which some might consider alongside the Insight, but the Fortwo is more of a novelty.
It only fits two, parking is a snap, and fuel economy approaches 40 mpg; however, the ride is very choppy, the seats are skimpy, and it's twitchy on the highway.
But stop the presses! The Prius will be completely redesigned for the 2010 model year, adding interior space, safety and luxury features, and improvements to the hybrid system, resulting in even better fuel economy and a more responsive powertrain.
