With the current worries about the environment, cars are getting more compact and environmentally friendly. Gone are the days of the big, beefy SUVS that guzzle gas and take up two parking spaces. The good news is that compact and midsize cars are becoming more attractive and family
friendly. Take for example the 2010 Ford Fusion.
The least expensive and most fuel efficient (besides the Hybrid) of the new Fusions is the four cylinder. It gets around 30mpg. The basic four cylinder has a lot of kick. Most think of any four cylinder as a snail, but with the 2010 Ford Fusion, this is far from true.
The newest Fusion exterior does not look much different than its previous models. This is not a bad thing, it is sleek and sporty. The hood, grill and headlamps have been slightly redesigned, making the aerodynamics of the 2010 Ford Fusion better than previous models. It is quite a head turner, and people are likely to check out the Fusion everywhere you go.
The interior of the 2010 Ford Fusion is incredible. It has a SYNC infotainment system, making it easily compatible with Bluetooth, iPod and other electronic devices and a built in GPS and on star. Most of these things are becoming standard on new cars, so it is nothing groundbreaking, but it makes the interior feel high tech and expensive.
The standard model of the 2010 Ford Fusion is under $20,000. Its standard version comes with plenty of options. If you start adding options the price can go up quite bit. Most are looking to save money in today's economy, so sticking with the base model is the way to get a great deal. It is great from the inside out, and comes with more than enough options.

Quality Used Cars
Buying a car can be an expensive outlay. Although it may be your dream to own a brand new car they can be out of your affordable price range. There is another option available-this is to buy a quality car which has been previously owned.
The depreciation value of a brand new car is well known. As soon as the car is driven off the forecourt the value drops-sometimes very drastically. Here is your opportunity to buy a car which the original owner has lost the depreciation value on not you. In other words their loss is your gain!
When buying a car there are some key points which you should take into consideration. A relatively new car being sold privately at a cheap price should ring loud alarms bells. There are thousands of cars sold in the Australia each year which have been stolen. If you think about it logically if a newish car was legally owned would it be sold at such a low price?
The answer is almost definitely no-anyone looking to sell their car wants to get as much money as possible. A relatively new cheap car being advertised may well be legally owned, however ask yourself why they want to get rid of it fast by selling it cheap. The owner may have legitimate reasons-however you should err on the side of caution. Make sure you have a full history report carried out. These can be requested on line-there is a cost involved-the results will identify if the car is stolen, been involved in an accident or still has outstanding credit on it. If you buy a stolen car or a car with outstanding credit it can be confiscated and returned to its rightful owner-it will be irrespective if you bought the car in good faith. You have little or no legal rights or consumer protection if you buy a car from a private seller. Or it could be that the car keeps breaking down. Either way this is not the type of car you should think about buying-cheap does not usually mean a good investment.
If you want a car which is legitimate, has a full history of previous owners and has been fully inspected, the best option is to buy from an approved quality car dealership. Not only will you have far more safeguards and consumer rights, you can buy with confidence that you are getting a bargain not just a pile of troubles.
Approved car dealerships work in partnership with the manufactures. Many are also franchised to a main dealer. Both of these are key factors to consider when buying a quality car. Approved car dealerships generally have a number of manufacturers with whom the work. However, there are some dealerships who only sell approved cars for particular manufacturers. Therefore if you are looking for a specific make or model of car these are the dealerships you should be looking for. A huge advantage of choosing to buy from a franchised dealership is the scope and amount of cars they will have available. Many are more than happy to transport a car nationwide if you have spotted one on their website which is not being held at your local dealership. Read more.

Used Auto Parts Business
Over the last 10 years the used auto parts industry has changed dramatically with the introduction of high speed internet and millions of people going online to search for the new and used auto parts that they need to be able to keep their car in tip top condition.
This had made it very competitive for the automotive recyclers to keep their regular customers. In the old days you would call your local junkyard and see if they had your part. If they did not have it they could get on the hot line and see who did. It was very exciting working in parts sales at that time.
Now people just get online and do a search for the part they need and this makes it possible for any auto wrecking yard to be able to compete in other used auto parts markets. It is mandatory to stay up to date with the technology and keep the parts listed online.
Used car parts businesses and also new auto parts businesses have to learn a whole new way of staying in front of the competition so they can keep their sales up and stay in business especially at this time with the downturn of the economy.
Learning how to build websites that are user friendly and informative and then being able to promote them to stay ahead of the pack are just a couple of things that auto parts business owners have to learn and implement if they want to continue to do business.
Buying quality used auto parts is just one way that you can save a few dollars over new auto parts. There are parts that I would suggest buying new like brakes, rotors, tierods, and there are other parts I would recommend that you could get used like control arms, knuckles, wheels, axles, rear ends, differentials, engines, transmissions, transfer-cases, door glass, back glass, seats, and too many others to list at this time.
The other cool thing about dealing with a used auto parts business is the price is usually negotiable. Some parts counter guys are not willing to dicker over the price of the part but most sensible used auto parts sales people will match or beat a competitors price and this can be beneficial to you for the sake of having to travel a further distance or pay extra for shipping.
Remember, just because a part is marked with a price, that isn't the final price unless you have already attempted to dicker with the salesman. Please feel free to leave a comment if you like this post.
