Automobile manufacturers are possibly the worst sufferers of the current market conditions. Over the past few years the automobile manufacturers have taken decisive actions to improve fuel economy and reducing emissions. However, under the present circumstances, it is a mammoth challenge for any automobile manufacturer to continue this drive. The lull in the economy has forced them to demand the certainty of a single national standard set by the federal US government.

The health of the US economy is directly proportional to the health of the automobile industry and the well being of the automobile manufacturers. The automobile manufacturing industry happens to be the country’s largest manufacturing base. Approximately 4% of the GDP of U.S.A comes from the automobile manufacturers. According to recent reports by the alliance of automobile manufacturers, out of every 10 U.S. jobs, or about 13 million, is auto-related, and auto workers receive $335 billion annually in compensation.

The clouds of the economic crisis engulfed the automobile manufacturers in September 2008 when the auto industry reported a loss of $9 billions in US sales as compared to the sales in September 2007. The industry fears further losses in the coming months if the situation prevails.

The economic turmoil is affecting auto consumers and communities in a chain reaction and every sector seems to be connected to one another in this crisis. As the demand nose dives, automobile manufacturers are forced to cut down on supply, which further results in less work for assembly-line workers. Fewer parts are needed from the suppliers which are the ancillary industries and workers buy less and less which results in the lack of demand for consumer goods. This eventually forms a vicious cycle engulfing the entire consumer economy. Automobile manufacturers can thus make or break the US economy.

Here are some facts and figures that bring the real picture to us:

• An ailing auto industry can really hurt the financial sector further as more than 90% of the new vehicles are purchased on credit.
• Major purchases like automobiles really matter for the economy.
• Reports have confirmed the fact that consumers are finding it more and more difficult to get loans for automobiles.
• Rising delinquencies in auto loans are hurting the automobile manufacturers further.
• About 1000 dealers closed their businesses closed their businesses, in September 2008 and more are on the way (CNW).
• Autos sales contribute more than $10 billion dollars of annual tax revenue every year. A drop in auto sales invariably hurts state budgets too.
• By the end the 3^rd quarter, almost 100,000 automotive jobs were reportedly cut.

The recession is a stark reality for the automobile manufacturers however they have not lost their optimism. They have supported the 2007 Energy Bill, which requires a 40% increase in fuel economy by 2020. The automobile manufacturers have now joined hands to develop and introduce more fuel-efficient technology.

Do you have a classic car at home? Are you thinking of ways on how to make your classic car run again on the road? Do you have a classic car that still runs but needs maintenance but you are currently short on the budget. If you need the things that are mentioned above and you have knowledge about car maintenance, then one of the things you would probably need more is the manual of the car.

A car manual is one of the best things a car owner would have if he or she is in trouble with cars. One example of a car problem is that it won’t start or the doors would not open. The car manual explains all the details of the car from the safety door to the electrical equipment. If in such case that the car has a flat tire, the car manual also explains how to replace the tire and where the necessary tools are placed. If there is a indicator on the car that the car owner does not understand, it is also indicated in the manual and what or how it is used.

In case of the car mechanics, the car manual is one of things that they keep beside them. The car manual has detailed information about the car’s structure and interior design. The joints connected to the wheels to the steering wheel is also explained there in detail. Most importantly, the engine’s parts and connection with the other engine parts are listed there in diagram and detailed explanation.

It is always important to have your car manual in case of an emergency or if you want to do some self-maintaining for your car. It is like the car and the car manual are best friends and should stay together as much as possible.

Hyundai’s fuel-efficient car Accent, which offers fuel mileage of up to 35 miles per gallon on the highway, is named the most dependable sub-compact car by J.D. Power and Associates in its 2008 Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS).

The VDS is one of three J.D. Power and Associates quality studies. This study measures problem symptoms of three-year-old vehicles primarily in categories such as ride, handling, braking, temperate controls, seats, engine performance, driving dynamics and interior and exterior durability. This highly regarded study is done by taking into account the problems experienced by original owners of three-year-old (2005 model year) vehicles. The study is based on the responses of more than 52,000 owners of new vehicles purchased during November 2004 and April 2005.

2005 Hyundai Accent earns highest rankings in this dependability study. The Accent scores registered only 187 problems per 100 cars, a more than 20 percent improvement over 2007 results. This improvement was mostly accounted for by measured improvements in the engine, climate controls and seating categories. And Hyundai on the whole made dramatic improvements in its overall dependability scores:

The study shows that the number of problems per 100 vehicles over the entire product lineup dropped 28 points to 200, showing a 14 percent improvement over 2007, almost tripling the industry average improvement of 10 points.

In the “non-premium” segment, Hyundai goes up from 13th place to sixth place.

Hyundai’s score placed it 13th among the 38 nameplates measured in the study and placed it ahead of the industry average for the first time. Each product in the Hyundai product portfolio has improved over last year.

This year’s Vehicle Dependability Study demonstrates Hyundai’s continued dedication in offering higher levels of quality and improved long-term dependability. It can be said that Hyundai has reached a top tier of only a small number of brands that are above industry average in both initial quality and dependability.

If you’re still waiting on the magical gas price fairy to swoop down, wave her wand, and bring fuel costs down to under a buck, don’t read this article! You may consider scheduling appointment with a psychologist to evaluate the delusional nature of your mind. The sad reality is that gas prices are never going back down due to the corruption we are faced with by “Big Oil” and our politicians! On the other hand, if you’re looking for a proven, safe way to double your gas mileage and save $100+ a month at the pump, you are at the right place at the right time. The solution and savior is HHO Gas, also known as Browns Gas. It’s pulled from water (H20) through the simple process of electrolysis. When you convert your automobile’s engine to burn HHO, you will reap the above benefits along with having much cleaner emissions.

A little known fact that everyone should understand is that Brown’s Gas is extremely safe. When most people thing of hydrogen technology, they think of the unsafe version of storing large volumes of raw hydrogen in compressed tanks. These are very unstable and highly flammable. By using water with HHO method, hydrogen is produced steadily and in small quantities with make it safe and stable.

“Why haven’t I heard about this technology,” you may ask yourself. Even though this conversion method has been around for many years, it remained secret from public eyes. Tesla was the first to unearth the fact that water could be used as a fuel, almost a hundred years ago! Economical and political motives prevented this global advancement from being brought forth to the masses. Now, we are fortunate to have information at the tips of our fingers so more people have been turned on to this. The popularity has grown immensely as thousands of people have installed the water conversion apparatus. It’s also been simplified so that even a child can understand the “how-to” process.

Let’s take a good look at a few reasons why you’ll definitely want to consider running you car on water:

1) Your car / truck is guaranteed to be at bare minimum, 40% more fuel efficient, thereby allowing you to save hundreds of dollars on gas per month.

2) You can save on taxes for driving an automobile that is friendly to the environment.

3) It cuts down on toxic carbon emissions while protecting your health the environment.

4) You will reduce you car’s maintenance costs.

5) It boosts your engine’s performance.

6) The engine on your car will last longer.

Forget the thought of actually purchasing a hybrid. They are far from affordable. It is much less expensive to simply convert your own car into a state-of-the-art hybrid. Believe it or not, HHO conversion is very easy, allowing you to do it by yourself even if you are not mechanically savvy. The parts necessary for your engine’s upgrade are present in most hardware stores. Typically, you can get everything for under $100. The home conversion is easily reversible and doesn’t void your warranty for your car.

Off the top of my head, a few things that are necessary are baking soda, a sealed quart size container, electrical wiring, a bit of vacuum hose and water. In order to split the water particles into hydrogen and oxygen, you must pass an electrical current from your auto’s battery to the water. Following that, the Brown’s gas that has been created will be shuttled to your automobile’s manifold.

Aside from making your car into a water / hydrogen powered hybrid, I recommend helping family, friends, and loved ones as well. They will thank you in large numbers because you are putting extra cash in their pockets every month. Hundreds of thousands of folks worldwide have already began implementing water for fuel. Hopefully you now can understand why this innovative technology is sweeping the globe and how it can help ease the financial burden of the ever increasing gas prices…

- Matthew J. Loop, DC Stop getting scammed by high gas prices! Double your gas mileage quickly and save over $100 per month with the proven Run your Car on Water conversion manual. It’s simple, cheap, recommended by experts, and has a money-back guarantee! Water for Gas is the future so click on the blue text in this paragraph right now to learn more!

First Electric mini car to hit roads of Japan is as early as 2009. Now it seems just around the corner, by the efforts of (MMC) Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. It is believed that other automakers worldwide are also making same efforts to make important announcements in terms of ‘eco cars’.

Research

MMC started a joint research with Tokyo Electric Power Company, and The Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc., in November 2006 and with Kyushu Electric Power Co., Ltd, in January 2007. The new research EV (electric vehicle) is based on MMC’s “i” mini-car, and named “i MiEV” which mean “Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle”. i MiEV is powered by a compact and lightweight motor and high-energy density lithium-ion batteries. After removing the i’s (a sister car by MMC) combustion engine mounted on the platform with an original rear-midship layout, a single motor (*2) is mounted in its place. i MiEV became electric-powered with few modifications of the body structure.

Since her first display at the 22nd International Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exposition (EVS-22) at Pacifico Yokohama in Yokohama on October 23 – 28, 2006, the performance is highly revolutionized from a test vehicle to a real commercial project. By the assistance of Japanese government, this mini electric vehicle will hit the roads of Japan as soon as 2009.

Performance

Since her first display there is remarkable overall improvement in every respect. The battery system is improved to run without any major knock-down for continuous 10 years. The commercial viability has become possible by continuous efforts to bring down the overall costs and simultaneously creating a CO2 free environment. This EV neither emits CO2 and nor makes any engine sound which makes it so dear and irresistible to many countries world-wide.

This revolutionary mini EV can run at a high speed of 140mph. The batteries can be recharged via cable plugged to 110V/220V house sockets. Full battery charge is done in total 14 hours plugged-in and no need for another charge till 140Kms. , i MiEV shows stronger torque, quieter noise and less vibration, which are natural advantages of EVs.

Price and economy

MMC is planning to put a high JPY4.0M (Approx.USD$38,000) price tag, which includes the research costs. Looks like non practical and out of reach, therefore Government of Japan is aiding of max. JPY1.0M (approx.USD$9500) to help end consumers. Obviously there is a great factor of clean environment involved and if you compare this mini vehicle with other (KEI cars) Japanese mini vehicles then the price can be bearable. A regular gasoline engine 660CC vehicle runs for about JPY9(USD$0.086) per Kilometer whereas iMEV will run for JPY1 (USD$0.009) per kilometer.

Let us join hands to protect our GREEN PLANET by vowing to emit no CO2 for traveling; a single step is the start to make this world greener and happier.

Limited Budget offers

But if you are low on budget for the new car then there are other good reasons to buy a used car. Your smart choice for the right dealer will reflect your final bye-product. Let say that you have come across leading exporters like Nexuss International Company of Japan, which are providing excellent advice and second to none service packages just fit for your needs. Moreover, you have to know that:-

• Used cars are more reliable today than ever before.

• Some used cars are still under the approved dealers’ warranty.

• Most approved dealers now sell certified used cars, which include warranties.

• The history of a used car can easily be traced using the VIN number.

• Online buying and selling of used cars have increasingly gained numbers in recent years.

• Most Japanese cars are “one owner” and therefore reliability is more.

• Japanese online commission agents are providing less stressful deals by offering “Inspected vehicles” by qualified inspectors.

• Japanese auctions are non-biased selling/buying places with limited members.

Nexuss International is a Japan based used and new car dealer for import used cars from Japan and also export online Japanese auction cars.

Again, keep in mind that car buying should never be a hasty process. It’s the second biggest purchase you’ll ever make, next to your house. You don’t have to fall in love with the first car you see in the car showroom.

You might think that the car dealer trusts you implicitly with the new car and by letting you take the car home overnight or to work for a day, the sales person is trying to get you to ‘fall in love with the car’. Not very underhanded, perhaps, but considering the dealer will initiate this in some cases by asking for a trade-in assessment, you need to recognise that it’s definitely a trick. A trade in assessment should take no more than about 10 minutes. A half hour at most.

Car Dealer Tactic #7

A dealer may give you a ‘special deal’ on cheap finance on the pretext that he has reached the ‘limit’ as to what he can do with the price. He will tell you ‘the normal rate is a%’ and then say, ‘…but you can have it for b%’ (slightly less). Unless you are aware of current interest rates, you can easily pay too high a rate. To avoid getting easily conned, compare with the dealers price and your bank. You will find a good rate of interest if you do some initial research.

Car Dealer Tactic #8

A small increase in the repayments quotes will equal a large increase in the total amount you will pay for your new car. Dealers use this to great advantage in order to divert focus from the total price paid.

If you are not vigilant, your dealer may offer you less than market value for your trade in. The idea here is to conceal the profit from the customer by lowering the allowance for the trade in. If it succeeds–and it usually does–the dealer can offer you an unrealistically low price for the new car.

Nowadays, the surefire way to buy a good new or used car without falling prey to car dealer tactics is to go online at the comfort of your own home. With thousands of classified ads out there, you are sure to find good comparisons of car prices, and models, and other car-buying tips. If the car dealer senses you’re a pretty well-informed customer, then he or she is less likely to try a trick on you.

In order to contribute to a greener environment, Mazda Motor Corporation developed its well-known Hydrogen Rotary Engine (RE). The Hydrogen RE combines the company’s trademark and original Zoom-Zoom performance, which Mazda calls the ‘emotion of motion.’ Since 2006, Mazda has already been leasing the RX-8 Hydrogen RE to various business corporations and government bodies. This is done in order to exhibit the efficiency of the engine in burning hydrogen as a means of generating motive power while at the same time, emitting zero carbon dioxide.
However, the hydrogen engine with its inherent ‘emotion in motion’ is more than just about clean performance. In fact, the overall dynamic and smooth driving experience is not compromised, because the RX-8 Hydrogen RE also offers an extremely powerful combustion engine that runs in gasoline. The model’s dual-fuel system allows one to conveniently switch between gasoline and hydrogen fuel. The RX-8 Hydrogen RE still boasts of the remarkable features of the initial model RX-8, including a four-seater sports coupe and freestyle doors.
It was in the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show when Mazda first exhibited the new Mazda Hydrogen RE Hybrid. This year, Mazda has commenced its leasing of the hydrogen engine-powered car. It is through the utilization of the improved hybrid system and the refinements to the engine that excellent driving performance can be truly achieved. Some of the key concepts that were incorporated to the engine enhancements involve the following:
• powerful, high-speed, fun driving,
• larger trunk space and higher seating capacity (up to five full-sized adults),
• longer periods of in-between refueling.
Perhaps the main reason why RX-8 Hydrogen RE is one of the most outstanding creations of Mazda is because of the integration of their mission to keep their cars environment-friendly. The materials that were used to further reduce the emission of carbon dioxide were plant-derived. Thus, aside from providing optimum car performance, these materials also exhibit great resistance to shock, heat, and damages caused by fire and extreme weather conditions. RX Hydrogen RE also ensures versatility, as its interior and exterior design (seat covers, audio system) and other various features offer high-quality dynamism for all car enthusiasts.
Up to now, Mazda Motor Corporation is active in developing different technologies that serve as the company’s contribution in achieving a sustainable energy and power plant. Mazda takes part in providing clean performing vehicles that run in alternative fuels like hydrogen, diesel, and gasoline.

For increased acceleration performance, the initial RX-8 Hydrogen RE was further enhanced. A total 40 percent increase in energy generation resulted from the enchanced power unit. This is done by changing the core unit (the main hydrogen RE) to a transverse-style layout. Consequently, the resistance to intake and exhaust, as well as the efficiency of combustion significantly increased, and thus, providing better output for a wide range of engine velocity.
In order to complement the brand new hydrogen RE, a unique hybrid system concept was also developed. This is because the traditional hydrogen RE has poor efficiency of combustion, decreased torque and revolution range, which are all resolved with the new hybrid system. In addition, the system combines higher capacity for hydrogen with a more extensive range for hydrogen fueling—twice more efficient than that of the initial RX-8 Hydrogen RE. Despite these key changes, the vehicle still uses a dual-fuel system; thereby living up to the car’s practicality of use.
Instead of using the conventional combustion power-pump, the engine makes use of an electric motor rack. This is powered by the energy that comes from the combustion of hydrogen into electricity. Through this electric-drive innovation, the hybrid system is able to integrate maximal and efficient energy, quick responsiveness, and reduced consumption of fuel. Indeed, the new hybrid system concept paves the way for a driving pleasure that’s like no other.

Moreover, the most exceptional components of the hybrid system that includes the hydrogen RE, inverter, generator, battery, and electric motor, all works together in fully optimizing car performance. This is done by altering and controlling the way the system generates electricity and how the battery is discharged or recharged. This mechanism of hybrid system monitoring is largely dependent on the driving conditions to which the vehicle is subjected to. For instance, if the car is pulling away after a stop, the system runs on battery power. However, during steady running, the vehicle runs on hydrogen RE and on generator. When accelerating, the vehicle also runs on battery power, along with the hydrogen RE and the generator power. Alternatively, during deceleration, regeneration occurs through the motor when engine braking. The hydrogen RE then stops from being inactive, unless there is a need to recharge the battery.
Just like the initial Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE, the hybrid model also makes use of Mazda Biotechmaterial, which is a collective term for the plant-derived materials, such as biofabric and bioplastic, which the company develops. In order to showcase the best of Mazda technologies that cares for the environment, the company collaborates with various universities, corporations, and also the government bodies in the Hiroshima region. This is part of the company’s participation in the projects launched by government departments concerning Trade, Industry and Economy.
Mazda is the pioneering company which introduced the use of plant-derived bioplastic that exhibits remarkable properties such as resistance to intense shock, wear and tear, heat, and other unfavorable weather conditions. Additionally, the hybrid model of the Mazda Hydrogen RE makes use of these plant-derived materials for its seat covers and interior trimmings.
What’s so great about using such materials—bioplastic and biofabric—is their quality appearance that is not compromised even with their resistance properties. The most probable reason for this is the careful production of these materials and the in-depth research that was conducted prior to their manufacture. In particular, a “compatibilizer” was developed in order to melt flexible components that contribute to improved absorption of shock.

Lastly, Mazda introduced recycling of bumpers as a way to decrease waste on landfills. The company developed a system of collecting damaged bumpers and since March 2005 (when RX-8 made use of recycled bumpers), recycled bumpers has been continually applied on newer models. The hybrid model of the RX-8 Hydrogen RE is not an exception.

Are you considering the type of drivetrain for your next vehicle? Are you torn between choosing a front-wheel drive or a rear-wheel drive? Or do you think you need an all-wheel drive more? Nowadays, the automotive marketplace offers a lot of drivetrain choices that it could be quite confusing for buyers.

The drivetrain of a vehicle is the system that connects the engines into the wheels. Its configuration is designed according to various kinds of driving conditions and the choices of wheels to be powered by the engine or driven. Choosing which drivetrain you will use is an essential decision when you are in the process of selecting another vehicle.

There are six different types of drivetrain technologies and they all work differently. By initially knowing and understanding them, you could have a more guided decision on which drivetrain you want for your next car.

Front-wheel drive or FWD – a vehicle with front-wheel drive system means that it sends all its engine power into the two front wheels. This gives the effect that FWD pulls the car down into the road. The transmission, engine and the powertrain are all located in the vehicle’s front and thus, there is more passenger space in the cabin. This type of drivetrain has a reduced complexity since all of its components are close to each other. It may also mean that you will not worry about too much maintenance costs.

In general, by handling a FWD vehicle you can reasonably expect stability, predictability and its dependability during the winter season. Since the vehicle’s major weight is concentrated in the front, driven wheels, it increases the traction. Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Nissan Altima are first-rate examples of FWD vehicles.

Rear-wheel drive or RWD – this was once the automobiles’ standard driveline. Having a vehicle with a rear-wheel drive systems means that the engine power is concentrated on the two rear wheels. This gives out the effect that the vehicle is being pushed down the road by its two rear wheels. Having a vehicle with RWD configuration is not advisable for winter tractions although most of them feature some type of stability control or traction that helps overcome this disadvantage.

Despite this fact, RWD vehicles are usually well-balanced and they offer superior braking and handling for driving buffs. The Lexus IS Series, BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G35 are among the best examples of RWD vehicles.

All-wheel Drive or AWD – this is among the roster of most sophisticated and modern drivelines available nowadays. All of the vehicle’s four wheels are powered by the engine. It has fluid-filled differentials or gears and advanced electronics which enable it to send power equally to the four wheels or transfer torque into the wheels/wheel with most traction. The AWD system is very much advanced by modern engineering and they are nearly seamless for a driver.

Vehicles with AWD configuration can be designed also with a bias to either the front or rear wheels. As such, the driving dynamics are very much improved. Unlike 4WD vehicles, AWD vehicles offer vast and highly improved capability for winter driving on slippery and wet roads. Subaru Legacy, Acura RL and BMW X5 are among the best examples of AWD.

Full – time Four-wheel drive or 4WD – this system has a similarity with the AWD but it is typically more robust because of its built is designed serious off-road driving. The Lexus LX Series, Land Rover Range Rover and the Hummer H2 are great examples of this type of drivetrain.

Part-time All-wheel drive or Part time AWD – this vehicle is essentially a two-wheel drive. Its driveline configuration sends power only to either of the two front or rear wheels until there is a need for additional traction. It can become an AWD only for a limited time. It is effective to prevent complete loss of traction but is generally not recommended for heavy off-road drives. The Toyota RAV4 AWD and Honda CR-V AWD are examples of the part-time AWD.

Part-time four-wheel drive or Part-time 4WD – this kind of drivetrain systems usually sends engine power into the rear wheels, always. Once there is a loss of traction, the power is sent to all the four wheels by a hydraulic, mechanical or electrical switching system. It cannot be used often on dry pavements since the mechanicals could become damaged. The Chevrolet Avalanche 4WD, Nissan Titan 4WD and Jeep Wrangler are among the examples of the Part-time 4WD.

Here are more car dealer tactics to watch out for when you’re buying your new or used car. Remember, you are in control of the situation, you have the say in the final decision. After all, you’re the one with the money, and you intend to spend it as wisely as possible.

Car Dealer Tactic #7

Some car dealers pursue a potential customer until they wear them down to buy.

Now if you don’t want to be pursued by a car dealer, just don’t give a phone number. Say ‘it’s a silent number’, ‘…don’t have a mobile’, ‘can’t leave a work number’, or at the test drive ‘accidentally’ give the wrong phone number.

Even after continual phoning, and when you end up buying from a different dealer, the sales person (who has missed out on the deal) will then give you the bad news. When you tell them you bought elsewhere (at a very good price of $34,550) they will say, ‘Oh no, you shouldn’t have paid any more than $32,000 for it!’ This is designed to make you feel as bad as the salesperson, who lost out too.

Car Dealer Tactic #7

The End-of-the-Month trick

This trick deserves serious consideration. It is the most elaborate trick of this type. Manufacturers know that companies often buy around this time of year for accounting purposes. They therefore rarely offer any factory discounts, and they sometimes increase their retail prices to take advantage.

No matter when, where or which car dealership you may stroll into, there is always a reason to feel ‘lucky’, according to the keen sales person. Early in the month, they might say they missed their target last month and are desperate to make it up. During the middle of the month, ‘the boss has told me to push out more cars or I’ll never reach my target this month either’.

The time of month may matter to some dealers sometimes, though; it never matters to a car broker. Beware of this because you may end up paying more than you expected. Don’t fall for tactics like this that appeal to your feelings, such as compassion and guilt or regret. Remember when buying a car, you have to keep a steady head and not let your emotions rule over.

Sales of New and Used Vehicles Are Strongly Interrelated, According to a New Study from the Car Internet Research Program OTTAWA and PARIS (March 15, 2007) – The used car business is here to stay and will increasingly impact the new vehicle market in a variety of ways, including residual values, pricing, brand strength and customer relationships. As a result, manufacturer involvement in inventory management and used vehicle branding is crucial for enabling dealers to carry out successful remarketing programs.

These are among the findings from a new report focusing on the used car market published by the Car Internet Research Program (CIRP). The study, titled “Anatomy and Physiology of the

Used Car Business,” provides an in-depth analysis of the used vehicle market with a particular focus on four key markets: U.S., Canada, France and Germany. The research examines:

(i) The growth of the used car business, in both size and importance,

(ii) Global trends affecting the used car business,

(iii) The customer buying process, including Internet usage,

(iv) A comparative analysis of the four markets, and

(v) Success strategies for dealers/manufacturers.

The importance of the used car market is growing significantly. In both the U.S. and France, for example, the used-to-new vehicle ratio has increased since 1999 from 2.4 to 2.6, showing a steady growth of used vehicle sales by volume. In addition, used vehicle sales in the U.S. are today more than twice as profitable for dealers as new vehicle sales (a roughly 2.7% profit margin, as compared to 1.2%).

“Franchised dealers’ used vehicle operations now act as a hedge against uncertainties in the new vehicle market and even support new vehicle sales,” said Dr. Christian Navarre, Director of the Car Internet Research Program. “With declining margins in the new car business and the aging of vehicles on the road, the used car business is likely to be a growing and increasingly important component of franchised dealers’ sales, both in North America and in Europe.”

It is clear from the research that the key to continued growth will be transparency and symmetry of information, as consumers apply the same approach to research and collection of information in their search for used vehicles as they do to the new car buying process. For example, although consumers still use local newspapers and word-of-mouth when researching used car purchases, they are turning to the Web in increasing numbers, highlighting the importance of having a strong Internet strategy for used vehicle programs.

While national used vehicle markets differ in character and structure due to a variety of socio-economic, regulatory and other factors, the report identified six core strategies that are essential for growing used vehicle sales:

• Continually improve the customer experience, from the Internet to the showroom.

• Rationalize customer relationships through Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

• Perfect online promotion and merchandising efforts to reach prospective and existing customers.

• Manage inventory and pricing with network-wide IT solutions.

• Maximize high-margin sales opportunities.

• Optimize certified used vehicle programs.

“Consumer attitudes to used vehicles have become more sophisticated as vehicles themselves have improved in quality and reliability,” said Nick Gill, Global Automotive Leader for Capgemini. “The tools used by consumers have also evolved, resulting in the need for dealers and manufacturers to fundamentally change their approach to the sale of used vehicles, as this report demonstrates. While these changes involve significant financial investments, they hold the potential for great returns and are, in fact, necessary in today’s market.

Dealers and manufacturers face a rapidly evolving car market; they must evolve with it if they do not wish to be left behind.”

What is auto insurance? Auto insurance (or car insurance, motor insurance) is insurance consumers can purchase for cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Its primary use is to provide protection against losses incurred. By buying auto insurance, depending on the type of coverage purchased, the consumer may be protected against:

* The cost of repairing the vehicle following an accident

* The cost of purchasing a new vehicle if it is stolen or damaged beyond economic repair

* Legal liability claims against the driver or owner of the vehicle following the vehicle causing damage or injury to a third party.

Liability insurance covers only the last point, while comprehensive insurance covers all three. Even comprehensive insurance, however, doesn’t fully cover the risk associated with buying a new car. Due to the sharp decline in value immediately following purchase, there is generally a period in which the remaining car payments exceed the compensation the insurer will pay for a “totaled” (destroyed, or written-off) vehicle. So-called GAP insurance was established in the early 1980’s to provide protection to consumers based upon buying and market trends. The escalating price of cars, extended term auto loans, and the increasing popularity of leasing gave birth to GAP protection. GAP waivers provide protection for consumers when a “gap” exists between the actual value of their vehicle and the amount of money owed to the bank or leasing company. In some countries including New Zealand and Australia market structures mean that people are more likely to buy a nearly new car than a new car so this is less of a problem.

In the United States, liability insurance covers claims against the policy holder and generally, any other operator of the insured’s vehicle, provided they do not live at the same address as the policy holder and are not specifically excluded on the policy. In the case of those living at the same address, they must specifically be covered on the policy. Thus it is necessary for example, when a family member comes of driving age they must be added on to the policy. Liability insurance generally does not protect the policy holder if they operate any vehicles other than their own. When you drive a vehicle owned by another party, you are covered under that party’s policy. Non-owners policies may be offered that would cover an insured on any vehicle they drive. This coverage is available only to those who do not own their own vehicle.

Generally, liability coverage does extend when you rent a car. However, in most cases only liability applies. Any additional coverage, such as comprehensive policies, i.e. “full coverage” may not apply. Full coverage premiums are based on, among other factors, the value of the insured’s vehicle. This coverage may not apply to rental cars because the insurance company does not want to assume responsibility for a claim greater than the value of the insured’s vehicle, assuming that a rental car may be worth more than the insured’s vehicle. Some states, such as Minnesota, may require that it extend to rental cars. Most rental car companies offer insurance to cover damage to the rental vehicle. In some regions, the costs associated with not having access to the vehicle (“Loss of Use”) is also covered.

You don’t want to keep your useless tools in your storage right? You will only fill up the room with broken tools, so you feel you want to throw everything out. Wow, that’s really a good way to throw out money.

Try not throwing out your tools from the storage by fixing and maintains it properly. Even if it is not broken, maintaining your tools is one way to help you having long lasting equipment. What ever it is, tools are so significant for you to have and has been used since stone era.

Britannica Encyclopaedia said tools began perhaps a million years ago when man learned to walk erect. His hands were then free to grasp objects of wood and stone. He used these to kill animals for food, and they became the first tools. All tools have vast advantage. It’s really amazing how those tools helping people to do their everyday life. You will be lured to own your set of tools too.

Not just keen to buy, but maintaining is also important. The better a tool works, the less you’ll have to use your energy to do the work. Tools that are in good working order will last forever. Maintenance tasks are easy to do and typically for garden tools are required only once a year. If the tasks are done at end of the season, the tools are ready to use when the season starts, and they are better protected from corrosion during storage.

Before your start keeping your tools, let’s check these checklists:

• After you use your tools, and you expect to use it again in a long run by keeping it in the storage, better you replace blades or sharpen tools that cut or dig, lubricate moving parts and oil materials that tend to dry out.

• When a repair is not a safe option, replace the broken parts before you keep your tools in the storage. Don’t try to glue or tape a broken wooden handle.

• Before you start fixing your tools, gather all your tools to assess the damage or maintenance needs on the worktable that already cover with newspaper, so it will not be dirty from dirt and oil.

• Write down which tools need to be fixed and which one only needs to be maintained.

• You should wear heavy gloves for your work. Files rough-sharpen digging tools and to sharpen nicked or very dull cutting tools; sharpening stones are required to hone and maintain sharp edges on cutting tools.

• If a metal file doesn’t have an integral handle, buy a handle for it. The tool will be much safer to use for the next work. Better you keep it diligently.

It’s really amazing how those tools helping people to do their everyday life, especially when your tools are maintained very careful.

Buying a vehicle involves lots of money which every one can not afford from own pocket. The remedy is that you take out vehicle finance, which you can find in the loan market place, keeping your requirements and circumstances in mind. However, it is crucial that first you have studied all its aspects in order to avoid any pitfalls and to sign a suitable deal.

First of you must check your credit report and make sure that it has recorded all your timely payments correctly. The lenders will first study it minutely to assess risks and the charges along with terms-conditions will be fixed accordingly.

You can get finance for a vehicle through direct lending, under which you obtain a loan from a lending company, bank or a credit union. In this mode of lending you can use the loan proceeds to make payments to the dealership for the vehicle.

But, one of the most common method is dealership financing. This involves an agreement between the buyer and the dealership and a contract is signed saying that the buyer will pay the amount and charges on it. Usually, the dealership sells the contract to bank, financial company or credit union, which will then collect the payments.

There are many advantages associated with the dealership. You will get the vehicle and it’s financing from one place. Since the dealership has contacts and relations with numbers of banks and financial companies, a range of financing option are accessible. The vehicle buyers also are able to have access to low rate programs.

Before you apply for vehicle finance, note that the bank, financial company or credit union will hold a lien on the title of the vehicle until you have completely made the payments. Ensure that you have searched and compared varied opportunities for a suitable deal.

A little bit of elbow work could potentially net you a better
offer for your vehicle and attract more buyers. Sean Stewart, President of yourautomarket.com, offers some practical tips on preparing your vehicle to sell. “A good first impression goes along way and when it comes to vehicles the first impression is vital”. Before batteries are put into your camera it is a good idea to read the following and implement all or some of these tips.

The Exterior:

A buyer will usually look at the exterior first. They have already made the decision that the style and colour is acceptable, now they want to look further. During this period they will be assessing if there is anything wrong with the paint, the body, major scratches and so on. Take the time to wash the vehicle if weather permitting. The worst thing you can do is hide your well-maintained car under an inch of road dirt. You know you have road dirt when you see finger smears on the trunk and doors, and the always comical “wash me” on the back. How about a nice coat of wax? This would give your vehicle that showroom look and help buff out small scratches. Check the tires for air and shine the rims. “What really attracts my attention is a set of polished rims. It’s stylish and tells me that the owner takes good care of the vehicle”. “You can buy foam sprays for the rubber and rims at any Automotive Retailer that make them look wet and shiny”. If the exterior passes inspection then the buyer will move onto the interior.

The Interior:

“No one wants to open the door and see potato chips ground into the carpet”. A few dollars for the vacuum at the car wash is simple and easy. “The suction is usually better than a home vacuum and while cleaning you may just find enough loose change for a Tim Horton’s coffee”. “I like a wet look to my dashboards so I frequently use a treatment to the vinyl”. But be careful not to put too much treatment on the steering wheel, Sean warns, as this can make it quite slippery and dangerous for driving. Is there a story there for some other time? For a quick clean a damp cloth can do wonders for wiping the dust off the dashboard and all components. Remove any fuel receipts, ice scrapers, and other items that take up real estate in the interior. Give your inside a total overhaul of clutter. Clean out all compartments and most of all the glove box. “If you are like me you will use your glove box as a temporary garbage bin” Sean states. “It sounds funny to remind people to empty out compartments and glove boxes but being in the industry I have seen many interesting items inside vehicles for sale”. The trunk needs attention too during your cleaning. Ensure the spare is accessible and ready for use.

The Engine:

An engine shampoo would do wonders if you feel it is required but for some this may be un-chartered water. “Shampooing an engine can be intimidating. Most do it your-selfers will spray the engine using a $10 bottle of engine shampoo, let it soak and then hose off. Some say it is good to wipe off the major parts of the engine and either air dry or use an air hose”. It is best to follow the instructions that come with the engine shampoo or get it done professionally if you prefer.

Now that the vehicle is photo ready, think about the location. “A nice landscape is ideal but most people don’t have access to a beach with a windsurfer in the background. Ideally try to get as much of the vehicle in the photo to minimize background noise”. Sean explains background noise as visual objects that take the viewer away from the vehicle. For photos Sean has always liked the front 45-degree shot from a height just above the bumper. “What we try to do is get a low shot on an angle of the front as the first shot. This to me is classy and also stylish”. ”I really enjoy seeing vehicles posted on our site where the photo taker has put effort into their photos”. “I can’t stress enough how a clean vehicle with a really good photo can make a difference”. If you find that you are not able to get your vehicle ready for sale then seek out local professionals. Most retailers are about $100 for a detailed clean of a family sedan sized vehicle with engine shampoos extra.

So why all this work to sell your used vehicle I ask Sean? “The vast majority of vehicles being sold are posted onto websites like ours. Therefore your vehicle is competing with potentially thousands of other vehicles very similar to it”. “A great looking exterior will generate interest and potentially sell it quicker”. “Our website also uses video to showcase used vehicles for sale which is quickly becoming the industry standard”. So yourautomarket.com is now using video to advertise used vehicles. I sense another reason to meet with Sean and find out more about video for used vehicles? Hmmm.

At times, sellers might try to bargain about the price, but remember that you should pay for what you get. Do not buy the car if you are not sure that it is the ideal car. Move on and look around!! Take your time to decide on the perfect car for yourself!!

Singapore is the newly emerging force in the used car market in the world. Undoubtedly it has threatened the traditional giants in used car market like Japan by showing a tremendous growth in the recent years. Singapore used car exporters have played a major role in achieving this situation with the backing up by the government policies. Within this new context Singapore market can be highly recommended to you purchasing a used car or any other used vehicle. Let us see why the Singapore used cars can be highly recommended.

It is proved that the cheapest used cars are available in the Singapore market. You will be able to purchase Japanese used cars from Singapore and importantly it would be 20% to 40% cheaper compared to the prices in traditional used car markets such as Japan, Europe or USA. It has to be understood with government policies like ‘Scraper Car Policy’ for any automobile reaching 10 years of use. Meanwhile very attractive Rebate policy has been introduced to urge the car owners to export their vehicle after using for just 3 or 5 years. Under this Rebate policy vehicle owners, if they export their car within that period, will have huge monetary benefits when they are buying a new vehicle. This process has made used Japanese Cars from Singapore not only the cheapest but also better in condition.

Used vehicle exporters in Singapore who are about 500 in number, offer an excellent service for its clients. They purchase Japanese used cars from owners and follow the formalities put up by the government like ‘De-Registration’. They also prepare ‘Rebate’ documents for their clients which would benefit them in buying new vehicles.

Singapore is among the most expensive countries to drive a car. Government has introduced huge taxes like CEO in order to restrict the number of vehicles driven in Singapore roads to get rid of the traffic problem. The CEO tax should be paid in registering the vehicle and some times it is high as five times as the value of the new vehicle purchased. It simply means that if you are using a car in Singapore the cost to maintain it in a very good condition is always affordable. It has made the used Japanese cars from Singapore always to be in better conditions when compared with cars coming from other competitive markets.

If you are a car owner in Singapore you are paying taxes valued much more than the cost of your car. It means that you are in a position to by a new car than going for a used one. This has lead the demand for used cars in Singapore to be minimum, unlike other countries. Therefore the used Japanese cars from Singapore are the cheapest in the world market even after paying all export taxes.

Another reason for the excellent condition of used Japanese cars from Singapore is the smaller size of the country and hence the running distance is comparatively low when it compared to the vehicles coming from countries like Japan or USA which are consisted of road networks of many thousands kilometers.

Singapore used car exporters are having another advantage of used Japanese cars from Singapore for normally being equipped with extra features such as CD players, central locking, electric mirrors, alarm, remote entry and alloy wheels. They are optional in Japanese used cars coming from other countries however they are standard features in many used Japanese cars from Singapore.

Today we see cars in more than 7,000 hues, there are shades of rust that usually doesn’t appear on color chips.

Serious rust damage can begin with a minor scratch in any parking lot from a shopping cart. However, steel is strong enough and lasts for a reasonable period when it’s thoroughly protected, but when that guard is invaded, the metal is uncovered to the elements. That’s where rust initiates its attack.

If you see any scratch over paint chips, blob a bit clear nail polish on the scratch. This is for quick fix until you can get some touchup supplies. Touchup paint is available on almost every autos resource and for virtually every vehicle ever built, including antiques. Use the paint code number shown on the identification plate located on a door jamb, in the glove box, under the hood, in the trunk under the carpet next to the spare or wherever else the car maker has hidden it. One of the best resource is also the owner’s manual.

Some uncommon colors might create trouble. However, you can simply search them where auto parts are sold or from many resources from the internet. There are also scratch repair kits available in the markets (You really have to have a scratch kits; they have everything needed from preparation to finishing a deep scratch).

Small dents can be fixed with paint less dent repair; You can search them either on the internet, the classified section of the yellow pages or very commonly through local automotive suppliers.

This is proven to be a fact that from so many aspects of car care, preventive maintenance is much easier and always beneficial than corrective measures. Maintaining the innovative reliability of the finish keeps the vehicle in “nearly new” condition. However, the basic rules of paint maintenance and body apply:

Exporters Of Used Vehicles

If you are willing to purchase a used vehicle than be very careful of those exporters of used vehicles who have poor services all through out from purchase to collection.

Usually, vehicle looks in good condition when you watch their pictures on the internet (There are two possibilities, either it can be in good condition or also have rust underneath).

In case if there is no rust, but when the vehicle is shipped for 20-30 days in the air of sea it starts getting rusted. I have seen so many cases when people have reported several complaints regarding rust.

I recommend purchasing used vehicles from http://www.carjunction.com. The guys at Car Junction Ltd. are simply waiting to serve their customers and convey the quality they have.

Or, Internet is very vast. It is the possibilities you may find better than http://www.carjunction.com. But you better research and have a long discussion from the customers to be 100% sure you get the rust free vehicle. Do a Google search!

Always avoid parking in the hot sun; it can damage both the interior and exterior surfaces. Don’t forget to wash your vehicle frequently (every week if possible), including areas underneath, with mild, safe products.

Choose the best waxes and cleaners and use them carefully. Remember a cleaner that is most effective for one type of finish could be a bad one for another. In the end consult the vehicle owner’s manual to be sure.
