Should I donate my car or should I junk it?

My 91 honda accord would not start up nor would the key shift when placed in the ignition. My mechanic was able to start it up but told me that my key lock cylinder needed to be replaced and that it would cost about 800 to fix. I don't think its worth it to fix so I'm wondering if it would be more beneficial to just pay the mechanic fees ($120 for diagnosis and getting the car to start), donate it fof a tax deduction (which means I'm out $120 from the get go, but get some kind of tax deduction) or if I should give it to a junk yard offering me $120 (meaning I would "break even").

Loss of power in Low RPM?

Hey guys, I ride a 2011 CBR 250R，Recently I have been having a problem with losing power during first and second gears around the low-mid RPM's. It happens when I accelerate at a quicker speed it feels like the power cuts (which engine braking occurs) and then it accelerates again after 1 or 2 seconds. It usually occurs when I have 1 or 2 bars of fuel left so i believe it might be a problem with the fuel or petrol. I have been filling my tank with the normal petrol required at well known gas stations in my area. I have recently had this problem but after servicing the motorcycle (a few weeks ago), it was a problem with the air filter being very clogged and dirty, after servicing it was fine, and then this started happening recently. anyone have any idea what the problem is? I did email honda and they said my chains and sprockets may be the cause to it and they need to be replaced, I'm looking to replace them but I'm afraid if after replacing them, the same p...

Fuel filter leaking after replacement?

I have a 1996 Honda Accord, the fuel filter was dirty so my boyfriend decided to change it. Now sometimes the gas sprays or leaks in the new filter also leaking from the washers as well. We used a flare wrench and tried tightening it for hours. Put the old fuel filter on and it still does it, and old washers and still does it. What could possibly be causing this? Really don't have the money to go to a mechanic Read more: https://hondanews.net/accord/fuel-filter-leaking-after-replacement.html
