The ultimate BMW experience

Jaguar XJ12


The car was introduced in September 1968. Power assisted steering and leather upholstery were standard on the 2.8 L ‘De Luxe’ and 4.2 L models and air conditioning was offered as an optional extra on the 4.2 L. Daimler versions were launched in October 1969, in a series of television advertisements featuring Sir William. In these spots, he referred to the car as “the finest Jaguar ever”. In 1972 the option of a long wheel base version, providing a modest increase in leg room for passengers in the back, became available. The used Jaguar XJ12 version, featuring simplified grill treatment, and powered by a 5.3 L V12 engine (coupled to a Borg Warner Model 12), was launched, also in 1972: 3,235 of these first generation XJ12s were built. Again, an upmarket version, this time called the Daimler Double-Six, was available, reviving the Daimler model name of 1926-1938.

Chevrolet Silverado

The Chevrolet Silverado is categorized as a full-sized pick-up and is the latest vehicle of its kind produced by General Motors. It is uncommon in Europe, but highly popular in North America. The used Chevrolet Silverado is among the safest pick-ups there are, with four-wheel ABS as standard equipment. The NHTSA gave the vehicle a near-perfect 24/25 stars in 2007. Due to its strength and power, a military version of the Chevrolet Silverado is also used by the Canadian Forces. Another asset of the used Chevrolet Silverado is its handling and steering, which is effortless at both high and low speeds.

How to sell used cars?


As we all know very well the sales of new cars is going down and down these months. Such situation is of course caused by the economy crisis. But how is the used cars market doing? Is it going to benefit now where the rest of the car industry (producers especially) is undergoing a major collapse? I guess the answer would be yes. The price reductions and the promotions will never be as attractive as the prize of a used car, even if it’s only one year old, yet still much better equipped that the promotional version. And here comes the question: how often do you change your car and what do you do to get rid of the old one? Do you sell it on a website or try to advertise it in a local press at the lowest possible cost? Or maybe you just park it on the street with the price displayed behind its front window? What is the best source to sell and buy used cars without being cheated on? Or shall I say it – what is the most credible source? Now car purchasing has become fun again which can’t be said of car selling.

It seems that there is quite a bit of online and offline advertising being undertaken by certain van manufacturers and commercial vehicle outlets. I counted at least three different promotions via the radio this morning from the likes of Renault, Peugeot and Mercedes. They all highlighted that eve with the current credit crunch people should not “worry” as they have exclusive and unbeatable offerings currently available. I suppose when we are in a situation like we are, there needs to be some kind of rapport between businesses and customers. Maybe then, with all these van offers on show, the customer will have more of a bargaining power with each dealership as van sales are currently much harder to come by. Maybe that salesman will be easier to work with and that costs could be further reduced? You would think that this would be the case as it seems long gone are the days where not only used vans, but most vehicles were in total demand by the public.

Car Insurance


There is a famous proverb in the UK- that you only get what you pay for. It seems to be certainly true in case of buying gap insurance. An insurance policy is usually a highly complex document full of terms and conditions. It is generally supposed that the vast majority of people have never read a car insurance policy from start to finish, and it is little wonder, looking at the technical language that most of them are written in. For drivers, still, it is essential to check thoroughly details of insurance policy – what events are covered and the so-called price-to-value ratio.

Mercedes Viano


The brand name of Mercedes usually underlies comfort and luxury. This is also the case with their vans. Mercedes new van - the Viano X-clusiv seems to be a typical commercial vehicle, but at the same time it presents enough exclusiveness and trendy outlook to be seen as a saloon car. You may use it as a regular transportation vehicle and would even get away with taking it to appear at a prestigious event. Moreover, it looks like quite a sporty new van – with 18 inch alloy wheels, six seats with luxurious upholstery finished in lugano leather and metallic paint.

Used BMW 8 Series

This is one of those BMW models that is said to be good enough, but launched at not wrong time. The Used BMW 8 series seems to have more enthusiasts now than it had at the time when it was introduced to the car market. What are its characteristics? Well, a 5.0 litre V12 engine delivering a horsepower of 155 with automatic or manual transmission was quite outstanding during the early 1990’s. The acceleration from zero to 100 km/h takes a respectable 7.5 seconds. As for a used car, this BMW has quite advanced electronics and quiet cruising abilities.

Used Cars Reliability Rating

For the majority of customers, car reliability ranks almost as high as anything else when shopping for a used car. This significance has been spotted by many organisations dealing with car rankings and car information and therefore has resulted in reliability reports of used cars published both over the Internet and in specialist newspapers. The reports in question are focused on certain aspects of used vehicles and not on models specifically. In most cases the mechanical stability of every used car is rated on the basis of the car’s seven essential systems.

New Cars - Full Size 4×4- Land Rover Discovery

Big and heavy off-roaders do not seem to be the flavour of the year or month now. But would it be incorrect to think of the Land Rover Discovery as a big, new car or a sport utility vehicle (SUV)? It is generally seen as a safe seven seated vehicle offering a lot of space. From the passenger’s point of view every chair has sufficient space in this new off-road car. There is even a bit of space left over for some baggage so goods transportation is also possible. Although it is a heavy terrain car, it emits around 144g of CO2 per kilometre, which makes it rather environmentally friendly and will let the driver go into traffic restricted zones as well as many nice places in the outer city. Its high performance in various conditions is possible because of the V8 engine and a permanent all wheel drive system. Moreover, as experts say, new cars of Land Rover are able to roll smoothly and drive so precisely that any driver shall soon forget that they are driving a car of a really impressive size.
