So, you’re looking at purchasing a new car. Sure you probably have a wish list with few models in mind, but which one to choose from? With oil prices soaring and the prices of everything on the rise with not nearly good enough pay increases, we all want to get the best for our money and be happy with the purchase made right? We all want reliability, low maintenance costs, and above all great fuel economy. Is that too much to ask? The best way to accomplish all this is by being an informed buyer!
First we start with make and model. As stated above, you are looking for what fits you the best, personality, reliability, low maintenance costs, safety, and above all great fuel economy. You may have a few models in mind that are made by different manufacturers. There are websites that you can visit and compare more than one manufacturer all at the same time (www.edmunds.com, www.carsmart.com, autos.msn.com, carfax , www.iihs.org). My personal favorite site is www.consumerreports.org. This site is not free, but it is inexpensive to join ($26 per year or $4.95 per month) and it is handy for researching many other consumer products than cars! These sites (as well as others out there) can provide you with invaluable groundwork to make a final decision on one model. Keep in mind that with brand new models, these sites will often have incomplete data as they have not received crash test data etc from government agencies etc.
| Avtorentacar recommended article: Accidents? What Do You Do? Accidents could happen anytime. In fact, even if you are the careful driver or even if you are the reckless driver, you could actually meet accidents on the road. Sometimes, it even happens right on your street just as you are pulling away from your garage. What do you do when you get involved and be part of a traffic accident? |
After I decide what make and model I want to purchase I go to the manufacturers web page and do some research on available packages, as well as if they are planning on releasing a newer model in the near future. This can benefit you especially if the model of vehicle you are looking at is the first model line made by that manufacturer. Often times there are allot of quirks, and engineering flaws that are worked out and put into manufacturing on the next year model release, so be careful there if you are not tolerant of frequent dealer visits for recalls etc!
The last thing to research before purchasing a new car is what dealer to purchase from. This might take some leg work, as most of this research cannot be done online. You need to get a list of local dealerships and visit each one. This will allow you to observe the atmosphere of the dealership, and see how friendly/service oriented they are. See what kind of warranties they offer, just beware of some extended warranties as they require you to bring your vehicle to the dealership only for service, which can be a hassle etc.
In this day and age, it is important to research products before you buy them. For those of use without millions of dollars to throw away on impulse purchases, we need to know we are getting what we pay for. There is nothing worse than purchasing a new car only to have it have serious reliability issues or horrible safety ratings. Don’t believe the flashy advertising you see, advertising agencies can make garbage look like gold! Buy smart, don’t be the Guiney pig!

| Avtorentacar recommended article: Radiators Radiators, as the name suggests, are devices that radiate heat. These heat-exchanging devices can be found in automobiles, buildings and electronics. This device is designed to transfer heat from the water that flows through it, to the air blown through it by the fan. Often, a radiator is made of a long copper or aluminum tube, bent several times to form a rectangular shape. Numerous small aluminum fins surround the tube. The aluminum draws heat from the warm cooling fluid inside the tube. Once the fins are heated, they release heat into the air, cooling the engine. The radiator has a neck that ends in a cap. The liquid coolant, usually a mixture of water and ethylene glycol, is added through this cap. The cap, known as the “pressure cap”, keeps the pressure under control. Once a predetermined level of pressure is reached, the cap gives way, releasing the pressure to prevent any sort of explosion. |
