One of the most difficult and important of skills to master is that of buying a reliable used car. New cars are not a fiscally sound option for most individuals. Unreliable cars are not a sound option for most individuals either. Used cars are usually cars that someone for some reason doesn’t want anymore. That means there is a good chance any given used car is an unreliable car. The tips below are aimed at helping you learn to find a reliable used car instead of a piece of junk.

1. Look for your car in unusual places. Car dealerships have high overhead and can’t really make enough profit to stay in business unless they have a large mark-up on each car. Private owners often offer a better deal, but they may have sentimental mark-ups. Read more »

Surely one of the most unusual-looking exhibits at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show was Ford’s latest concept car, the Ford Airstream Concept. Picking up where 2004’s Model U left off, the Airstream Concept is futuristic in some respects and deeply retro in others. In short, it’s an odd mix - but elements in that mix show some real value for the future of the automobile.

In design terms, there are several different ideas at work in the Airstream Concept. The principal and most exciting of these is the ‘HySeries Drive’, a rechargeable electric engine that runs on hydrogen fuel cells, on show here for the first time. Read more »

After the Industrial Revolution, the wheels became important elements that shaped today’s advanced automobile industries. Today, there are many kinds of wheels available in the market, and each of them has very specific purposes.

A limousine is regarded as the essential vehicle of style, and it evokes a sense of mystery and appeal. Long, sleek, shiny, cars like these are sure to make heads turn when they come around your street. However, since these are truly expensive vehicles, the number one priority should be finding ways to effectively maintain your vehicles’ condition and durability.

Since many parts of your luxury vehicle are inter-related, ignoring maintenance can often lead to failure of other parts, or an entire system. By neglecting even the most simple preventive maintenance tasks, such as changing the oil or checking the coolant, can lead to poor fuel economy, unreliability, or costly breakdowns, and could invalidate your limousine’s warranty.

At the time of this writing, there is a game being played. And in my opinion, the game is called, “confronting the US oil crisis”. The major players are the car manufacturers, the government, maybe the EPA and have course the people being the unwitting spectators that are readily lured to the show.

And the game pieces are the fuel economy cars also known as hybrid cars.

I will begin by emphasizing the point that I don’t know everything there is to know about this so called “impending oil crisis”. And I’m not sure if there is anyone who knows everything there is to know about this impending oil crisis too. However, I am fairly certain that the hybrid cars wouldn’t be a prospective solution to the problem; not at least for a few more years. Read more »

As far as the consumer is concerned, the history of the great Ford Mustang began when it was shown to the public at New York’s World Exhibition. The prototypes had been in existence since 1962, with the Mustang 1 (T-5) being first introduced to the motor racing world at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix where Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney drove it for a few laps each as a demo.

In the early 1960s, Ford desperately needed a new car to compete with the sporty Chevrolet Corsair Monza, and its first attempt, the Falcon Future, failed to compete. A brand new car was needed, and the idea for the Mustang was born. It was sporty and quick and a four seater. It was appealing to youngsters, and the prototype was well received when shown at the motor racing circuits. Read more »
