More Electric Cars
Posted on April 8, 2009, under Latest News and Trends.
Don’t blame me for what I’m about to put you through but writing about the Electric Mitsu put in the mind to look up some other electric cars that have been unveiled in the past and might be out of the roads later this year if they are not out already. Check these out!
Ok I know that many of these may look like mutant cars, like somebody had a bad day on the drawing board but the point behind each of these cars is that they cut fuel consumption, cut the noise, and will, in the future be responsible for cutting the barage of attacks that gets sent to the ozone on a daily basis. we all do what little can for the environment and what these cars are doing by virtue of being electric cannot be fathomed.
So chin up and let’s see what the brains in AutoLand are thinking up for us.
Electric Mitsu

Carmaker, Carmaker, find me a car!

Whether you are thinking of buying a new car or a used car, the decision should be carefully thought of. Don’t just think of it impulsively. Invest some serious thought into the process and you will find that the confusion is much less then what it could have been! Because a car means something. It’s not just a possession, not just four wheels with some fancy paint splashed on, no! A car means freedom, the freedom to roam, the freedom to ride and the freedom to be ….you! So take a deep breath, imagine your ride and run for it!! (more…)

After test driving the BMW 320d, not only was my belief in diesels reaffirmed but I found a new convert in my friend, who till yesterday was petrol man through and through. But the drive and the sheer power exhibited by the 320d convinced him and he’s now got a novated lease on the BMW 320d, that’ll last for about a year. (more…)
Using the fine print to your advantage
Posted on February 25, 2009, under Car Financing.
The fine print is not going to disappear; you are just going to need to be one step ahead of it. Here’s how.
1. Take the ad with you to the dealership. That way the dealer can’t forget part of it or change part of it.
2. Study advertised rebates and discount financing deals carefully. Get out a magnifying glass and you’ll probably find the words “with approved credit” or “on approved credit.” Some ads simply list “WAC” or “OAC.” (more…)
Costs dealing with Car operation
Posted on February 24, 2009, under Car Financing.
Written by Bill Tsouvalas
A survey was carried out by the National Roads and Motorists’ Association regarding car operation costs where more than 500 motor vehicles were examined under 8 categories. The calculations were done keeping private ownership in the loop all over New South Wales. The national average distance traveled was taken to be 15,000 kilometers and the research went on about 5 years. Now it seems to be that most cars considered were on a car loan or under some form of car credit, car finance or under other type of car loans. (more…)
