Looking for a New Car Loan? Then Look Beyond the Car Yard!

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:47:36 +0000

Last weekend I was out looking to buy a new car – a Holden Calais 60th anniversary edition in fact. I had been to a few dealerships and finally made a decision to buy. The salesman asked whether I had pre-arranged a new car loan. I hadn’t done so and as a result I was ushered into the office and bombarded with a whole heap of numbers relating to a proposed new car loan. What I couldn’t understand was how instead of telling me an interest rate the dealer focused on the monthly installment and making sure I was happy with that. He juggled around with the residual value so that the new car loan amount was reduced when I indicated that I would struggle with the new car loan payments he first calculated. It’s funny how when you are considering a new car loan all you want is..to take delivery!! You don’t often take the time to run the numbers and actually establish just what interest you are paying. I decided to contact my mortgage broker – he had looked after me when I had recently applied for a cheap home loan and at the time had said he could also help with a new car loan if I was ever in the market. I am always astounded at the level of knowledge of my mortgage broker. He has his finger on the pulse – not just with mortgage finance but also with new car finance. He knows who is in the market, what their terms and conditions are, who is offering the best rate… why a new car loan with Lender A might be better than a new car loan with Lender B even though the monthly installment due with Lender B is lower than the new car loan repayment with Lender A. What really surprised me was threat my mortgage broker was also able to source me the identical car at a lower price. It seems that some mortgage brokers and lease brokers have arrangements in place with car dealerships whereby they can get the car cheaper. This is apparently because car dealerships often have a bonus structure operating and if a certain volume of cars are sold within a month then the bonus kicks in from the manufacturer. If say a car dealer needs to sell 30 cars in the month and coming in to the end of that month he is sitting at 28 cars then the bonus amount he will lose if he does not reach his volume target will be significantly higher than the amount by which he could discount the sale price to you. This guy is not worrying about the new car loan he just wants to ensure the target is reached. He’ll worry about the new car loan once he has secured the deal with you. As a random buyer you are not aware of these statistics but where a mortgage broker or lease broker deals with new car finance they will often know where the car dealership’s sales are at and whether the timing might be right to negotiate a good deal. I ended up a very happy chappie because I obtained a new car at a lower price with a new car loan that really suited me well.

Sell Used Cars using Video Viewings

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:38:09 +0000

Sell using video? Will it catch on? To all the non-believers i think it most certainly will. Selling used cars or indeed any used or new vehicle using video can only be a good thing. I mean car manufactures have been doing this for a long time now right?. On tv commercials do they just show you a photo of there vehicles, no….they show what is for sale using video. What better way to sell is there, with video they get to see it and you get to sell it. I think incorporating this into the used cars market is going to be huge. Sure theres `non-believers’ there always is, and everybody allowed there say. However those who think its a bad idea, i say to them `how`?.It can only be a good thing, to allow a potential customer more information than available before. The ability to not just see but also hear the engine, sound system ect to tantalize the senses in a way just photos do not do.

And it also brings to bear the chance for used traders, not only allowing them a chance to sell there vehicles. But also there dealership, allowing the customer a look around possibly meet the staff ect. It would most certainly create customer confidence to see a clean, organized and tidy dealership. Giving the salesperson the chance to sell themselves and there dealership. With the boom in mobile phones and digital cameras, nearly everyone has the ability to record a video. And they do, how popular in utube and similar sites these days. Video sales are here there here to stay, and we should all take note and utilize its selling power.

Sure it takes a little more time to create a video, but its worth it to give your advertisements `sticking power` and especially if your vehicles very expensive and falls into the prestigious, classic or high powered sports category. Then this really is the best way to sell them ( how many people watch top gear ), and that `little more time` it takes to create just evaporates into significance. It could possibly cut down on the `Time-wasters` due to the fact the customer has already viewed. Speed up sales by making your ads more enthralling, entertaining and interesting. Grabbing the customers attention, and gaining customer confidence along the way. However this is just my say, my take, my view on the matter.Used Car-Video Sales….will it catch on?

Car Rental Tips : Making Your Tour Memorable

Choosing a VehicleThink carefully about what kind of vehicle you’ll need. If you’re traveling with children or with a lot of gear, you may want a large sedan or SUV. If you’re simply looking to save money on rental rates and gas, you’ll want to reserve the smallest available model.

But size isn’t the only factor. Looking for something environmentally friendly? Check out our Green Travel Resources. Can’t drive a stick shift? Be sure to reserve a car with automatic transmission. (In many countries, a manual transmission is the norm — so read the fine print before booking. Learn more in Renting a Car Abroad.) Also, be sure that the company offers any extras you might need or want, such as a ski rack, car seat or GPS system.

Booking Your CarHow long will you be renting? If it’s for less than a week, you’ll probably do best with a major rental company, such as Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National or Thrifty. For rentals of a week or longer, you may get better rates from local companies, particularly auto dealers. Remember, however, to be wary of local companies if you plan to drive a lot; if you break down or get into an accident, they usually lack the support services of the majors.

Always shop around. Check the major booking engines and aggregator sites (such as Travelocity and Kayak) to get an idea of what rates are available, but you should also visit the car rental companies’ Web sites as well — they’ll often offer exclusive discounts, and you’ll avoid booking fees. Don’t forget to check out our selection of discount car rental deals before making any reservations.

To lower your rate, ask about discounts for any major national organizations, frequent flier programs and credit card programs you may belong to. They’ll frequently offer deals on car rentals. Those offered through AAA can be very good. If you’re employed by a company that frequently rents cars, they may have a negotiated rate. Make sure to check.

Before you book online, do an Internet search for coupon or promotion codes to put into the booking engine of your car rental company’s site. Just type in the name of the company followed by “coupon code” into the search field and you’ll often find special promotion codes that could save you anywhere from 5 to 20 percent off the cost of your rental.

If you’re not already, consider joining your car rental company’s loyalty program when you book. These vary by company, but most of them are free and entitle you to certain privileges when picking up your vehicle; your information will be on file ahead of time, allowing you to simply jump into the car and go rather than standing in a long line or filling out paperwork. You could also be eligible for special discounts or free upgrades.

Understanding Your RentalIf you’re booking online, read the terms and conditions carefully before confirming your reservation. If you’re booking on the phone, ask the agent about restrictions. Be sure you understand the conditions of your reservation. Is there a penalty for no-shows? How long will the car be held if you’re stuck in traffic on the way to the pickup station? Is there a fee for additional drivers and must their names be listed in the contract? Is your 20-year-old daughter old enough to drive the car? (For liability reasons, this is important.)

If pertinent, ask about any restrictions on interstate travel. For your own protection in case of breakdown, be sure the company has offices in all the states on your itinerary.

For one-way rentals, ask about drop-off charges. They can be exorbitant.

Always get a confirmation number. For airport rentals, be sure to give the customer service representative your flight number and scheduled arrival time. This will usually protect your reservation if the flight is delayed.

The True Cost of Car RentalsBuyer beware: The rate you see advertised in big print may become so inflated with state and local taxes, airport surcharges, additional driver fees, insurance, gasoline bills and drop-off charges that you end up paying more than double what you expected. Learn more about these extra charges in Car Rental Hidden Costs.

Also, the advertised rate may be valid only in off-season Florida or California, when many cars are idle there, but not where you want to rent. Finally, the rate may be only for a car size that you would find unsuitable.

In recent years, the major booking engines have become more transparent about rental car rates, and they now usually show you the total cost of your rental, including estimated taxes and fees, early on in the booking process. Travelocity offers total pricing, which guarantees that the company’s estimated amount will be within one percent of the actual rate.

Like the airlines, the major auto rental companies have adopted “yield management.” That means that their computers can quickly readjust prices according to changes in the supply of cars available, and so the rental rate you are quoted is valid only at that moment. Unless you reserve immediately, the rate is likely to change.

At Pickup TimeIf your first drive will be from an airport to a hotel for the night, why not take a shuttle van to the hotel instead? Doing this may save you the price of a day’s rental. Even if you must drive the same day your flight lands, you may not have to get the car at the airport. By picking it up downtown, you can often avoid hefty airport surcharges.

If you have personal auto insurance or charge the rental to a major credit card, you will probably be covered at least for collision damage — so you shouldn’t have to purchase the car rental company’s collision or loss damage waiver (CDW or LDW) insurance. If in doubt, ask your insurance agent or credit card issuer.

Before you drive away from the pickup station, inspect the car carefully for body damage. Be sure the lights and turn signals are working properly, and check the mileage odometer. Report any defects at once.Familiarize yourself with the workings of the car before you leave the lot. Check which side your gas tank is on, and learn how to use the headlights, windshield wipers and turn signal. It may seem obvious, but you’ll also want to memorize the make, model and color of your car — that way you won’t lose it the first time you park in a busy lot! For more, see Getting to Know Your Rental Car.

Returning Your CarBe wary of prepaid gasoline plans. Always fill the tank yourself before returning the vehicle so that you’re only paying for the amount of gas you actually used. Try to avoid the gas stations right near the airport where you’re dropping off your car — the prices tend to be highest there. Instead, fill up a few miles away. Even better: Check GasBuddy.com before your trip to find out where the cheapest gas stations are in your area.

It may seem counterintuitive, but returning your car early may actually cost you money. You’ll often pay an early return fee (usually about $15 a day), but even worse, your rate structure will most likely change and you’ll be responsible for the difference. Of course, returning the car late could cost you too — many car rental companies only give you a 30-minute grace period before beginning to rack up the late fees.

Before leaving the vehicle, check to be sure you haven’t left any personal belongings. Don’t forget to check the trunk! The most common lost articles include cell phones, sunglasses and umbrellas.

Be sure that the check-in attendant inspects the car’s body in your presence and that you agree about any damage. Examine your rental agreement carefully for all charges and make sure they credit any deposit to your account while you wait.

How to Have Zero Car Audio Mistakes

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:37:21 +0000

Acquiring a new car audio system is no no-sweat assignment. Most audio equipment buyers are unprepared when they go out to find the system to suit their needs, and they end up committing mistakes that cost them money, time and effort. Let’s cover her just a few of those car audio selection boo-boos.

Some people simply allot to much and are amazingly willing to go into debt just for the car audio equipment. To make matters worse, they eventually realize they don’t like the system that they have. All that can be avoided by simply planning how much can be spent. The moment that is settled, you can start scouting around for system components within your expenses plan. Implement a step by step planning scheme as to the most up to the least important parts of your system, then stop rather than go beyond your budget.

Up next, how much of the car will be altered to meet your car audio specifications? No doubt about it, but speaker installation will mean a few minuses here and a few additions over there. Consult a professional who will help draw up a plan from the most important car audio component to the least, along with its corresponding alteration on the car’s overall look.

Allow a professional to help you with the necessary car audio repairs. Nevertheless, things still don;t stop here, since you will need to ask yourself: How long are you going to keep the car for? Do you have plans of selling the car along with the new audio system or will keep it for yourself before sale? It’s always important to remember that car audio systems do not help the car to pick up enough value so as to balance what went to the audio system’s construction. If you have plans to extract the system before you sell the car, that could cause issues for the next person who is keen on buying the car, plus the car audio system.

How about the uses of the car? When and for what purposes car is the car used? Understandably if you are after a great audio experience when you fire up your system, then you may to make sure that it is as comfortable and entertaining as possible. But in the event that you only get to be in your car for weekly shopping, then think if you need to look no further than low end parts.

Another car audio system mistake that otherwise can be avoided is preferring a system which is unsuited for the type of music they listen too. Naturally, those who enjoy thumping bass beats would get the most out of a high end power amplifier. Adding subwoofers is a welcome decision too. In contrast, if you are more into classical music or trendy pop music, then what you need in a car audio is speaker systems that offer even play of the sound spectrum.

When mulling over car stereo speakers, choose from either component or full range speakers, each with its own hits and misses. Full range speakers are the best option if you want to replace the speakers that came with the car; by full range, we mean it must have a tweeter and woofer. On the other hand, a component speaker set is also good if you need heftier car speakers to install. The plus point with component speakers is that these give you unbeatable value-for-money sound quality as seen in their cutting edge design.

If you want to make a bigger, louder impression when you honk your vehicles horn, add train horns for trucks to your car. There is a large variety of novelty horns on the market. Some play single notes while others display full songs. If you are trying to get attention and want people to know its you when you are driving down the street, than adding a truck horn to your vehicle is the best way to accomplish that.

If you happen to drive a big, oversized truck then it is no lie that you are one of the leaders of the road. You have dual rear wheels, you take up a lot of space, you already make a huge impression. Well, adding multiple truck horns can boost this big, mean mentality even more. These are very advantageous when idiots are crowding you at rush hour of if youre simply visiting a neighborhood and you want your presence to be known. Either way, train horns on trucks are hot commodities.

Even some smaller, greener car owners are investing in different types of air horns for their vehicles. Its actually a smart investment if you are constantly stuck behind idiotic drivers or you have one of those dinky, sissy air horns that nobody ever pays attention to. Its time to save yourself the embarrassment and invest in a horn that will honk like it should. No more dinky honks, a power train horn for your car will give you back the power youve been needing.

Motorcycles will also benefit from a bigger sound. Of course they got their fierce exhausts, but some models could really use a voice boost. Train horns on motorcycles really show off the presence of the biker. You can all count on the fact that Fonzi had one.

Being loud and being known is the cool thing to do. If you want to make a bigger impression and become a leader of the road, get yourself a quality Train Horn. Your vehicle will be cooler, louder, and meaner than ever!

Found the Perfect New Car – Now Find the Perfect New Car Loan!

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:29:24 +0000

If you are lucky enough to be looking for a new car then make sure that before signing up for the new car and the new car finance you check out the price competitiveness and the options available for a new car loan. While most buyers believe they are in the box seat when negotiating the purchase price of a new car and the terms of a new car loan the reality is that more often than not a better deal can be had if you step back and check out your options thoroughly. Purchasing a new car is an emotional experience and unfortunately all too many people set their sights on a new car, are not too concerned about the new car finance, thinking that a new car loan from one source will be much the same as the terms of a new car loan from another source. Lets consider the new car price. If you are negotiating with a dealer you obviously hope that you will do better than the marked price on the car. This may be so, but you are not negotiating from a position of power because you do not have any inside knowledge about the dealership and its sales volume. Why is this a factor when purchasing a new car? Most if not all dealerships operate on a bonus system whereby significant large bonuses kick in from the car manufacturer once a target monthly sales figure is reached. You may well get a better sale price on that new car if you purchase towards the end of the month when the dealership knows that your car sale will be critical in its achieving its targeted sales volume. Experience also demonstrates that if you negotiate your new car finance through a broker you may also be able to negotiate a better price on the new car. A good lease or mortgage broker (mortgage brokers almost always operate in the new car loan space as well) will have connections with the motor trade through which they may well be able to secure a better price on your new car and also provide you with as good or better terms on your new car finance. I recently purchased a new car and saved myself $2000 on the best price I could negotiate with a dealer by using a mortgage broker who also had access to competitively priced new car finance. I won on both counts. I obtained a new car loan that was at a better rate than the new car finance offered by the dealer. What I found interesting is that with many new car loans the actual interest rate is not disclosed. The monthly repayment amount on the new car loan is but this can be manipulated to suit your means. The monthly repayment amount depends on the term of the new car loan and the residual value on the new car loan as well. Financiers invariably work on what you can afford and then tailor the repayments on any new car loan accordingly. This may make sense but want you may not realize is that the interest rate applicable on the new car finance may not be competitive. Every dollar that goes out of your pocket is important dont put yourself in a position where you pay more for your new car than you need to or find that your monthly repayment on your new car loan means that you are paying say $40 per month more than you might have, had you checked alternative funding sources for your new car finance.

Buying A Used Car Using The Web

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:28:21 +0000

When it comes to buying a used car there is nowhere better than the internet to help you get started. There are a huge amount of websites where sellers list their cars along with photos and detailed descriptions and this is the easiest and quickest way to find the car of your dreams. However when it comes to buying the car, there are some things that you should take into account, with this is mind here are some tips for a buying a used car.
Before you even go looking for your car make sure you have a general idea of how much cars of similar age and type go for second hand. Also bear in mind the repair costs of the model, the safety aspects of that particular model and how much the car would cost to insure.
Once you have made contact with the seller and have gone to check the car over, it is essential that you get to see all documents related to the cars history. This will give you an idea of how well the car has been treated and if it has had all the check ups it should have had.
If you are buying your used car from a dealer then you have the right to see the written warranty that is provided by the dealer before you buy, this is one way of making sure of what you are getting before you commit yourself.
When you go to look at the car make sure that you give it a through inspection in good lighting and that you take it for a test drive. Where possible make sure that you test drive the car in most situations, for example up and down hills, in heavy traffic where you are stopping and starting and if possible a brief drive down the motorway. This will all tell you how the car handles and feels and pay particular attention to not only how the car handles but also how the engine sounds.
One of the best tips when it comes to buying a used car is if you know nothing about cars then make sure that you take someone with you who does. If you don’t have a friend or family member then it can pay to book someone from an auto club to go with you and look over the car. While of course this will cost you in the long run it can work out cheaper if the car is nothing more than an old banger.
Always remember that while you can get a good bargain when it comes to buying your used car privately you won’t have any warranty as such as you would get from a used car dealer. So usually you will buy the car “as seen” and this is the risk you take for saving a couple of hundred pounds or more on the car.
Whichever way you choose to go to buy your used car with a little common sense and by following the tips for buying a used car outlined above you can grab yourself a great bargain.
