Me and My car stories

Like people, insurance policy is a need so does our vehicle. Insurance policy for a car is called car warranty. A car warranty comes automatically with the buying of any new cars and most used cars from the dealers, usually called the standard warranty.

Just like any form of insurance policy for human, a car warranty is an act of precaution that could save the owner to pay unexpected mechanical and or electrical breakdown costs. So when our cars breakdown our car warranty will cover the repairmen cost, or contribute to the total cost of the labour and parts replacement that already stated in the warranty policy. Like other insurance it protects you from the cost. However you should read carefully and ask explanation for the terms and agreements in the contracts to make sure that you understand why you sign.

Before taking a car warranty, it is wiser to put the following in the consideration: What is the odd that your car will break down repeatedly? Is your car is old models? Is the car warranty could cover the car’s value and the repairmens cost? Does your car have a service history? Simply put it this way. If you have an old car and doesn’t have a service history it might lead you to difficulty in claiming your warranty. The second is there is possibility that the cost of car warranty is more than the actual worth of the car. If you meet those condition car warranty may be not your thing.

In simple way, we could divide car warranties in two. A standard warranty comes automatically at the purchased of a new car and most the used cars. New cars warranty derived from the manufacturers mostly for 36 months coverage. The warranty will cover the entire parts breakdown in normal usage, but not for wear items like battery or tires. For used cars the warranty derived from the dealer mostly cover until 3 months or 3000 miles or even none.

Extended car warranty is being purchased after the original warranty expired; most manufacturer warranties can be extended for a further 2 years. The value of an extended warranty can be counted from the price and the limits of the coverage. Any items that being purchased is a good buy when offers well coverage in a reasonable cost.

Car manufactures are in great passion to build new better car models each year despite the sloe economy. Manufacturers have unleashed all of their potential to build best models for each segment they have. Manufacturers are competing to make n the new models to be more efficient but complete, low fuel consuming but powerful, faster but safe, and green. Here are some hot cars for 2010.

Green is another powerful campaign for the manufacturers nowadays. Green is associated with the manufacturer’s technology and its understanding in environmental issues. Toyota Prius still holding the crown for this model after the coming of Honda’s green models. Now Ford is coming to take the challenge in 2010 with Ford Fusion Hybrid. The Ford’s model is praise for its seamless transition, and rated with one of the best integrated electric fuel system. This car is not for the wind chaser but absolutely for the clean air activist.

Mazda is gaining momentum in recent years. The manufacturer after successful with Mazda 2, offer new Mazda 3. The engine will be 2.5 litre four cylinders, gaining 167 horsepower.

Honda Accord is one of the most successful models for Honda. The sedan has been in the list for 24 years. Accord always associated with the characters of reliable, easy and fun to drive. The new Accord will be powered by a V6 engine giving its driver 271 horsepower. The Accords can not be considered as the fastest or the most efficient car in its class, but as a total package the Honda Accord can be considered in great value.

The new models will be powered with 265 horsepower engine. The model will be offered in 4-door sedan, 2-door coupe, convertible, and a wagon.

Well, not all cars in 2010 are in this page. So search for your car!

A car is nor merely a mode of transportation. A car can be the impression of the life he lived. So more or less you can get the impression of a men’s life by how he is treating his car. That is why some car models has longer presence and have their fanatics in the car automotive market. Cars like Mustang, Jaguars, Aston Martin and Maserrati are some products high valued by its driver. One the driver might drive it for a longer than other car life cycle, considering it as an investment.

Like humans cars also gets older. When this happen signs of old ages appear. Over time the car’s leather seats colour can faded, the trim pieces chipped; and trim colour is faded; small scratches in the consoles, arm rest, seats, door panels, headrest, radio controls and cushions.
