Buy & Sell used cars

It’s best to stature out precisely how much you can afford to squander. You know what you have to put down, you know what you can afford per month -- but how does that decipher to a sticker price, in particular taking into account taxes and finance charges? There are several car-payment calculators that will do the math for you (there are alot out there on internet). However, if you prefer to do the math manually, here's a relatively simple method.

What you can afford for a downhill payment. If you are trading in a car, visit a used car pricing site to calculate the car's approximate value (use the trade-in value, which is the lowest figure and represents what you can probably expect the dealership to offer) and add that to your subtotal. Valuing a second-hand car is both intention (year, make, and model) and prejudiced (appearance and condition). Normally, this would not be an issue if all cars were indistinguishable regrettably; second hand cars are all very distinctive.more...

Cayenne Turbo S: The Most Powerful Porsche

RIGHT out of left field from Porsche at the weekend’s Auto China 2008 motor show in Beijing came the world premiere of the Cayenne Turbo S.

Hot on the heels of the Cayenne S-based GTS and due on sale here later this year at a price of $265,500 (representing a massive $50,300 price premium over the $215,500 Cayenne Turbo), the S version of Porsche’s top-shelf super-SUV packs a host of performance enhancements.

Top of the list is an extra 36kW of power and 50Nm of torque, making the 404kW/750Nm Turbo S not only the most powerful Cayenne, but the most powerful Porsche currently available.via

Car Auctions

With so many advertisements claiming to offer the latest luxury cars for just a fraction of their price, people can get quite sceptical when they come across genuine opportunities like government and private car auctions.


The truth is that there are some expensive luxury cars available for a fraction of their price, but one has to go through a lot of Bucks to get to the luxury cars. One of the most cost effective ways of acquiring vehicles is through government and private car auctions (the cars available are essentially repossessed, seized or surplus vehicles).


To better understand the legalities involved, it is important to understand the difference between repossessed and seized cars.


Repossessed Cars (repo cars)
Repo cars are cars that were offered as collateral against a defaulted loan, or have been repossessed by government organizations or banks due to non payment of instalments. Repo cars are more often than not well used, and should be treated as second hand cars. In fact, the reason why repossessed cars are so competitively priced at government car auctions is because they have been used by the owner (in some cases for a few years).


Seized Cars
Whenever a person is imprisoned for a financial crime (like tax evasion or fraud), all his assets (like cars and properties) are seized. In addition, cars that are part of federal evidence or have been used in a crime are also seized and auctioned off at government car auctions. Seized cars should not be confused with repo cars as there is no defaulting of payments or collateral involved.
