For example, if you are looking at a brand new car at one dealership and you are looking to invest in it but another dealership is having a sale on that model, why not go to that dealership?  There is nothing wrong with finding sales and incentives to help you get a cheap price!

The car market right now is a buyers market and it won’t be that way for too long, so make sure you take advantage of it!

The first thing that you are going to want to do whenever you are purchasing a car is make sure that you are haggling.  Haggling is definitely welcomed – not really but it is necessary – whenever you are purchasing a car.  You want to get the best price obviously.

In the next blog, we will talk about the incentives and rebates that the dealership might be offering up!

And yes, although I hate to admit it, I am just about old enough to remember the Hoff’s original talking car.

(Incidentally, I also remember that K.I.T.T. was voiced by none other than the suave old dude who played Boy Meets World’s Mr. Feeney.)

Anyway. I get a Knight Rider kind of vibe from Citroen’s new concept, the Survolt. The French manufacturer has certainly given it a much needed, modern, ultra sleek twist, however.

Or maybe I am just a Francophone at heart, who simply happens to live in Boston.

To be perfectly honest, dream cars are hard to come by and typically, you can not find them new, unless you are the type of car buff that is in love with the newer cars versus the old.  That is why doing your research is so, so so important whenever you are purchasing a car.

Cars are a big deal, especially your dream car, so make sure that you follow these tips and tricks!

One of the first things that you need to do is make sure that you have a budget.  While your dream car is probably going to be expensive, you want to make sure that you set yourself on a budget and be ready to walk away from the car … if it is too much out of your budget.

You always want to make sure that you leave yourself some wiggle room in your budget, because no one can stick directly to their budget when it comes to a car.

Speed ratings are actually found on the sidewall of the tire in basically what you will come to know as the service description.  The letter following the two or even three digit numerical load index will actually dictate exactly what type of tire and what speed you can drive your car up to.

The table looks something like this:

S: 112 mph
T: 118 mph
H: 130 mph
V: 149 mph
W: 168 mph
Y: 186 mph

These are just a few of the letters that you can look for.  Generally speaking, the tires that are going to come on your cars and trucks are going to be ‘s’ or ‘t’ and race cars are generally going to have the other letters.  It all just depends.

If you are anything like me – you probably have waited until your tires are almost bald in order to get them replaced.  I did that and that is one of the major reasons why I got stuck three times this winter.  I did however find some fantastic information for those of you that are looking to get the best tires and certainly make the most of them and that is what we are going to go through in the next couple blogs.

One of the first things that you need to determine is how fast you usually go and how often you drive.  If you drive a lot, you might want to make sure that you get some higher-performance tires, as that will definitely ensure that your high speeds will not break your tires.

Did you know that tires actually have speed ranges right on them?  That is what we are going to talk about in the next blog – what speed ranges are and how you can spot them!

Now I know that this blog is all about dream cars and the like, but I have to share with you guys some insider news from GM.  First and foremost – Saab – you all know Saab right?  It’s a Polish car brand that I have been in love with for years.  Well, it is actually a brand that is owned by GM and right now, there are some debates about who is going to buy this Polish automaker and what the future holds.

Just in: GM is actually looking at selling off some of the Saab assets to the Chinese.  The good news?  If Saab finds themselves a buyer before the end of the year, they will not have to become a Chinese-made brand.

GM is trying to unload some of their brands that are not doing so well and Saab is one of them.  While Saab was thought to have a buyer earlier this year, the company pulled out and Saab was left behind.  What does the future hold for this automaker?

So, we all know that GM, after they went bankrupt decided that they were going to start selling their cars online – on eBay actually, so that they would make money that way.  Well, we also know that it didn’t exactly work and I have to say – HA!  They have finally stopped selling GM cars on eBay, yet they are still causing it a success.

To me, them calling it a success is something stupid – they just want to look good and they just want to make sure that everything they do is a success – in truth?  It wasn’t.  It actually … sucked.  They should’ve known that people do not want to buy cars online – hence the reason for dealerships … duh!

So GM, I’m sorry, it wasn’t a success and while you might have had a lot of views on the page – they didn’t all buy cars right?
