If you’re in the market for a new car, watching for the monthly car sale numbers announced by the major automakers can often help you determine if it would be best to buy now, or to wait a bit more for better prices.

When there’s solid consumer demand and car sales are brisk, prices remain strong. Without any existing hints of weakness, it’s unlikely we would see better deals due to increased manufacturer incentives and/or Dealer discounts (although we can see this at times on particularly slow-selling models).

A revolution is currently occurring in the world of car warranties. Prices are dropping and the industry is becoming more transparent. If you are willing to shop around then you could make substantial savings on extended warranties.

Many people feel that warranty policies have often been over-priced. Part of the problem has been that there have been relatively few options when buying a policy.

This is a market that has been dominated by car dealerships, car supermarkets and other car retailers. Such is the dominance of these companies within the sector that few of us have even been aware that there were alternative products available.

Many of us have been through the stress of trying to buy a used car. Whether trying to deal with a private individual, or a pushy car salesman, trying to get a good deal on a used car without paying over the odds can be pretty tricky.

In 2007, the Chinese cars market is placed second on the international level, and the manufacturers of Chinese carsstart to want to be established and to diffuse throughout the world. Today, there is a great number of marks and manufacturers of Chinese cars, (meadows of 1500 through the country) like FAW (first automobile works), Dongfeng, Chery, Geely, Brillance…. Some of these marks look after their image and even think of being established abroad like Chery in Turkey, which also made an agreement with the Volkswagen group to sell.

Many new cars will come with a manufacturer’s warranty that will cover repairs during the initial period of car ownership. What happens when that period comes to an end and you are looking to extend your car warranty?

The answer to that question for many car owners is that they return to their car retailer and ask for an extended policy. The retailer often sells them a policy, but is it always a good deal for the consumer?

If you’ve tried to buy an extended car warranty in the UK then you’ll probably be aware that the process is more complex and more costly than it should be. Cheaper car warranties are now being promised, but how do consumers go about finding the best deal?

The basic principle behind car warranties is a sound one. The idea is that you pay a flat fee and in return you receive cover in case your vehicle runs into problems.

Given that it all sounds so simple, why is it that buying a warranty always seems so difficult?

There is no doubt that safety should be one of your most important considerations when looking to buy a new or used car. Unfortunately, safety is something that a majority of car buyers take for granted.

Research shows that the safest cars on the road can offer up to five times more protection to drivers and passengers in crashes than those that meet the minimum standards. That is a significant statistic, that can quite literally mean the difference between life and death.
