			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two things a lot of people worry about these days are gas prices and the ever-present threat of global warming, which means hybrid cars are being touted as an alternative to the conventional automobile. Although walking and biking are more environmentally friendly, it&#8217;s not always possible to use these forms of transport &#8211; particularly if you have to carry passengers, luggage or other cargo. But automobile companies have come up with the hybrid car, a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to the conventional car.</p>
<p>A hybrid car combines a normal internal combustion engine with an electric motor run by batteries. Disposing of used batteries may take its toll on the environment, but with the resources car companies have these days, you can&#8217;t get any better than these cars.</p>
<p>The hybrid car can be very fuel-efficient &#8211; this is its first main benefit. When you switch gears to idle and the car slows to a stop, the gas-powered engine turns off until you&#8217;re in motion again, thus saving you precious gas. Hybrid cars are specially designed with fuel efficiency features, and tend to be smaller cars, so their fuel efficiency is better even when the internal combustion engine is in use.</p>
<p>And again, due to the car using electric mode while on idle, hybrid cars are more quiet than standard automobiles, and even more quiet because of their engines&#8217; modified design that is specifically created to make as little noise as possible.</p>
<p>Depending on your hybrid car, they would sometimes use its own unique method in recharging the batteries, and this is by using kinetic energy when you hit the brakes. This means that there is no need to recharge the batteries at home. This avoids the use of electricity &#8211; not the cleanest energy source &#8211; and further improves the reduction of carbon emissions.</p>
<p>The USA and other countries have introduced tax incentives for purchasers of hybrid and electric cars as an incentive to buy these environmentally friendly options. In fact, there are countries that now have SUV taxes or other similar penalties for users of gas guzzling behemoths that do nothing for the environment. These measures are also intended to give more people an incentive to buy a more eco-friendly car.</p>
<p>Tax incentives help to offset the biggest drawback of hybrid cars &#8211; the cost. Because the technology is still relatively new, demand is not high and mass manufacturing has not quite started yet, hybrid cars are more expensive than a gas-only car of similar size. But you could see some savings passed on to you as the customer, because you can potentially save up to 50% on gas, aside from the aforementioned tax incentives.</p>
<p>Many people are discouraged from buying hybrid cars for several reasons &#8211; one of which is that they believe it won&#8217;t be enough to make an impact in the battle against global warning, as the government may need to do more to step up. But the next time you buy a vehicle, it would actually be a good option to buy a hybrid car, as this action in saving the earth and reducing harmful emissions is better than not taking any action at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before going anywhere, you must first check your tires&#8217; condition. If your tires are well-maintained, then it would mean better safety for your car and it will also help it last longer and save money on gas pump.</p>
<p>To have safe travels all year long and keep your tires in good shape, follow these simple tips.</p>
<p>Choose carefully when it comes to tires. When you select tires, it should be based on the recommended size for the vehicle and loading recommendations. Ask an automobile dealer about the proper tire that&#8217;s to used on your vehicle and typical driving patterns.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to buy a tire gauge and keep it in your car just in case you&#8217;ll need it. This will inform you whether or not it&#8217;s time to add more air to your tires.</p>
<p>Remember to check the pressure of your tires once a month and especially if you&#8217;ve just taken a long trip. Damages that can lead to tire failure are caused by underinflation. On the other hand, overinflation can cause handling and stopping problems as well as uneven wear. As a guide, you can use the manufacturer&#8217;s recommended air pressure.</p>
<p>Slow down during wet weather. Better traction is provided as your speed decreases because the amount of your tire&#8217;s tread making contact on the road&#8217;s surface increases.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to rotate your tires every 6,000 miles. Before rotation, you first need to check if your tires are showing uneven wear because if they do, then you need to ask your automotive service professional to correct any mechanical problems.</p>
<p>Checking your vehicle alignment is another thing you need to remember. If you notice your vehicle pulling to one side, ask an automotive professional to check the alignment.</p>
<p>Your tire tread should also be measured and inspected. You&#8217;ll know it&#8217;s time to replace your tires if you place a penny in the tread groove and you notice that you can see the top of Lincoln&#8217;s head.</p>
<p>To make sure that there are no irregularities like bulges or cuts check the tire sidewalls.</p>
<p>Remember not to overload your vehicle because in can create excessive heat inside your tires.</p>
<p>Your tire balance is another thing you need to periodically check. Causes of irregular wear include an unbalanced tire and wheel assembly.</p>
<p>If you want your vacation drives to be enjoyable, affordable, and safe, then make it a habit to regularly check your tires.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When purchasing a car, there are two important things that people will most likely look at, which are mile per gallon rating and fuel efficiency. Today, these things are important for many who are searching for a vehicle since it can have a huge impact on their pocket books and the environment. These are two things that concern people the most these days.</p>
<p>MPG rating plays a huge role in the decision-making process because the better the rating, the more money you can have in your pocket and most will agree that the price of gas is going crazy. People these days want to make sure that the car they purchase has good MPG rating and this is probably the main reason why. Fuel efficiency also play a vital role for many ,aside from the MPG rating.</p>
<p>There are four reasons why fuel efficiency for a car is important: it saves you money, decreases the damage to the climate, reduces oil dependency and increases energy sustainability.</p>
<p>Having a fuel efficient car will save you a large sum of money, as with good MPG rating. It is estimated that as much as $1,400 can be saved if you just choose a fuel efficient car but equipped with enough functions to sufficiently address your needs. That&#8217;s money that you can save or use elsewhere, like a nice family vacation or a weekend getaway.</p>
<p>Most people nowadays take into consideration the impact that they leave on the environment so fuel efficiency has become a prime consideration for them when purchasing a car. When you decide on a fuel efficient car, you are actually reducing the effects of carbon dioxide which is a result of burning gasoline and diesel fuel, which is adding to the global climate change.</p>
<p>Since Americans are dependent on oil, it makes everyone vulnerable to oil market management and price shocks. It affects the economy greatly.</p>
<p>Almost everyone should know or be familiar with the fourth reason: oil is a non-renewable source of energy which at the rate that we are using it would be impossible to sustain. Because of this, fuel efficiency is an essential factor that people consider when buying a car.</p>
<p>Now, there&#8217;s a lot more factors involved when buying a car than just simply choosing the color, make and model, or whether to install leather seats or not. The two above things are also important to keep in mind when purchasing a vehicle; therefore when you&#8217;re looking for your next car, these things should be kept close in mind.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important that people begin to make smarter choices about which vehicles to purchase and which not to, especially with the current state of the economy and condition of the environment. MPG rating and fuel efficiency are essential to think about. Your new car may not only be saving you a substantial amount of money but possibly save the environment as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to experts, about one out of 15 vehicles inspected had its &#8216;check engine&#8217; light illuminated.</p>
<p>To have a properly functioning vehicle, this light is considered as one of the most vital components. A variety of potential problems based on the vehicle&#8217;s on-board diagnostic system is what the driver will be alerted to.</p>
<p>It is possible that a system in your vehicle such as ignition, emission control, or even fuel injection is not operating at peak performance when the check engine light comes on even if it appears that your vehicle is running normally.</p>
<p>If there is a glowing read engine light, this doesn&#8217;t mean that you must pull over to the side of the road immediately but you should get the car checked as soon as you can. If you ignore the warning light, then this could severely damage engine components and incur additional repair expenses.</p>
<p>You should first check the gas cap to make sure that it wasn&#8217;t left loose after refueling if your check engine light comes on. This can sometimes trigger the light. If the cap was loose, the light should go out after a few short trips.</p>
<p>If the light remains on, have the system checked out as soon as possible. A light that flashes indicates a more severe condition that should be checked out immediately to prevent damage to the catalytic converter. When you experience a flashing light, minimize driving at high speeds or under heavy loads.</p>
<p>When scheduling service, make sure the automotive shop that diagnoses your car has professional technicians who are properly certified for OBD II (on-board diagnostic systems) diagnosis and repair. The technician will connect your vehicle&#8217;s computer to a diagnostic computer, which will provide a &#8220;trouble&#8221; code indicating why the light was activated.</p>
<p>The idle speed, throttle response, engine temperature, fuel system pressure, manifold vacuum, exhaust emission levels and many other key indicators are the things the technician can check while the diagnostic computer is connected to your car.</p>
<p>Once the problem is diagnosed and fixed, your car&#8217;s computer makes sure everything is back to normal, then turns off the check engine light.</p>
<p>It is recommended that you not only read your vehicle owner&#8217;s manual, you should also familiarize yourself with the purpose of the check engine light and every other gauge and warning indicator on your dashboard.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You might not know it, but it is actually a skill to buy the right car at a good or better price than the usual price.</p>
<p>Before anything else, apply for a loan and find out the maximum loan your bank or lender can give you. Once you&#8217;ve got the amount, you can start looking for cars.</p>
<p>Think about the vehicle that you can be happy with. This is really important.</p>
<p>Do you want a truck, a car, or a SUV? Whichever type of vehicle you prefer start comparing different makes and models and get a general idea of what they are worth in the market. You can check out this site http://www.kbb.com. On this site, you can check the MSRP value (Manufacturer&#8217;s Suggested Retail Price, is the price set by the manufacturer) of different vehicles.</p>
<p>Know that a check from your lender is as good as cash at the dealership. So you&#8217;ll have buying power. You can get the best price on a vehicle that you choose.</p>
<p>As you shop around do not let car salesmen to intimidate you, remember, you have done your home work, you have research the market value for the car you want, you know a fair price down to the miles of it. Now you have a check in hand and can negotiate a cash deal. Try making cash offers and see the reactions of the salesman. Take care not to give any information to the salesman.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve narrowed down your choice of dealers, contact them and find those who have good customer service, and make a cash offer for the vehicle of your choice. For instance, you have researched a vehicle that easily sells for $15K or $16K with less than 30K miles. You can offer $12,000 cash, and see what happens. Cash really is persuasive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The amount of people buying used cars has grown to unprecedented heights the past few years. In fact, surveys show that the number of people who buy used cars is almost tripled when compared to the number of people who buy new cars.</p>
<p>Buying a used car is no longer something unusual and downgrading to do; in fact, it is becoming quite a popular trend.</p>
<p>But, especially because the trend has become more widespread and known, used car buyers are not taking things for granted. Knowing the condition of a used car is something that should be done before buying it.</p>
<p>So, if you are hoping for suggestions on how to check the car, take note of these simple tips:</p>
<p>Test drive</p>
<p>Test driving the car is a sure way to know how well it works. This step will allow you to understand the car and know what it might need.</p>
<p>This step will allow you to hear if the engine makes any strange clunking noises, or any rattling sounds.</p>
<p>Personal inspection</p>
<p>After driving the car, you should also look at it closely to inspect for any sign of damage.</p>
<p>The physical check aims at detecting damage of the body, tires, fluid leaks, rust and other damage.</p>
<p>How many miles does the car have?</p>
<p>Usually, an average user or driver will consume 12,000 to 15,000 miles in a year. One can estimate the age of a car by the amount of miles accumulated.</p>
<p>Have a mechanic check the car.</p>
<p>You can also have a mechanic do a purchase check on the car. This may cost the buyer some charges but the money would surely be spent for a good cause. A mechanic is the right person to assess if the car is in good conditions or not.</p>
<p>Find information on the car by getting a Carfax report.</p>
<p>The history of the vehicle itself can be a great indication of how a car is going to work. A Carfax report will contain all possible information available on a car.</p>
<p>Do what is needed and don&#8217;t rush buying a used car. Doing so will guarantee a happy car buying experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exchanging an older model you don&#8217;t need with a new model is the usual course of action taken when getting a new car. If that is the case, a reputable dealer will examine the car, take it for a test drive, and look up the fair market value of that make and model. Once they have come up with the Fair Market Value, that amount will be subtracted from the price of your new car. Here is a quick guide for anyone who wishes to sell their automobile privately, thus getting rid of their old model &#8211; take note of this guide whenever you need to sell your old car and turn it over to the new owner.</p>
<p>Preparation Is Paramount</p>
<p>Before the first buyer walks up your driveway, it&#8217;s time to grab the portable vacuum, a bottle of spray cleaner, and a roll of paper towels. Make sure all the windows are clean, and for that matter, the rest of the car, including the drink holders and the dashboard. You can also open the windows after cleaning them to air out the car. Once a car loses its &#8220;brand new scent&#8221;, it could get exposed to all sorts of odors.</p>
<p>Move the seats back and forth because you&#8217;ll very likely find trash that has fallen under the seat, or if you&#8217;re lucky, some spare change or a missing piece of jewelry. Examine the trunk afterwards. There may even be some secret compartments underneath the mats that you may need to check. There can be a whole lot of things that could have been lost in the years that you&#8217;ve had your car.</p>
<p>Start off the washing with a good ol&#8217; fashioned hose-down. You could make your car look brand new by giving it a nice shine. Don&#8217;t forget to pay special attention to the hubcaps and the headlights. Hubcaps are like a magnet to grime. You don&#8217;t need any special equipment &#8211; just liquid soap and a soft brush. Also pay attention to the headlights. If you have buyers coming over in the evening, you&#8217;ll want to do a demonstration for your headlights to make sure they&#8217;re still working properly.</p>
<p>How To Value Your Car</p>
<p>You may think that the car is either worthless or priceless, depending on your point of view. But if you go online, you can easily get an idea of you car&#8217;s Fair Market Value depending on the make, model and year of your car. Use simple search strings like &#8220;car value&#8221; and &#8220;what&#8217;s my car worth&#8221; and you should get a long list of results.</p>
<p>If you still need some help on this, you just need to be familiar with the make (i.e. Chevrolet), the model or style (i.e. Corvette) and the year it was made (i.e. 1978). Now let us say you are selling a Dodge Challenger R/T &#8211; you will need to specify the special edition, the &#8220;R/T&#8221; in the name of the car, and you will often find this at the back or side of the car. Popular special editions include &#8220;LE&#8221; (limited edition) and &#8220;DL&#8221; (deluxe). Print out all the information once you have gathered all the data. Documentation will be very necessary when it comes to the negotiation process.</p>
<p>Listing The Car For Sale</p>
<p>There are a number of places that you can advertise a car for sale. You can go old-school if you town still has a local newspaper and advertise your car there. This is still the best way to attract buyers from your location, despite the fact that ad rates are up due to the recession.</p>
<p>You can also post ads at your workplace, send it out via a newsletter, or post it at your local church&#8217;s bulletin board. They may charge a small fee to list the car on their website or newsletter but it will be much cheaper than a newspaper. You can ask your family, friends or co-workers to help you out and let others know. In any case, be 100% honest and transparent when discussing the car&#8217;s quality. Even if your car has a teeny-tiny flaw you overlooked, it could cause ripples in your interpersonal relations at times. There are also popular national sites and social networks that can help you spread the word.</p>
<p>The Final Details</p>
<p>The final part of the process, of course, is negotiating a price. It pays to ask a bit more up front than you expect to get. Be upfront about the payment options. You should always go with cash unless you&#8217;re familiar with the buyer. If cash isn&#8217;t available, then ask for a money order. Personal checks are dangerous, because they can bounce. You will also need to transfer the title of the car. A visit to your local auto tags office will do you good. For a small fee, they would help you with the papers, and once filled out, will file them with your state&#8217;s DMV. And don&#8217;t forget to declare the sale as part of your taxes in the coming April, as this does not go towards your yearly income.</p>
