Consumer research estimates

2007-06-29T10:03:00.000-07:00

Online News Flash;
It is a fact of life that consumer research estimates that up to 75% of big-ticket product buyers will do all their product research online, but 90% of them will make their final purchases offline at local retailers. Product research online often starts with the search engines, but search engines typically are unable to find and deliver results pinpointing specific local stores. So chances are that the Whirlpool Washing Machines you see online will be difficult to find locally.

But presto, a brand new search engine launched in February 2007, called Krillion is set to change all that and to make it very easy to shop locally using a search engine. The new search engine scours the Web to find, integrate and present actionable local search results for the ready-to-buy consumer.

The difference good oil makes

2007-06-29T09:59:00.000-07:00

The truth of the matter is that use of quality engine oil can impact on the running of your car so much that many service shops and dealers who stock car parts would go out of business very fast if everybody wised up and changed the oil that they use. That is why many "experts" whom you tell this story will dismiss it.

Quality of engine oil

2007-06-29T09:56:00.000-07:00

The quality of engine oil that you "feed" you car will greatly influence a long list of things. Firstly the durability of parts as well as the performance will be mightily affected by your choice of oil. This means that the best thing that you can do today is make a deliberate and conscious effort not to use ordinary oil.

Accidents and repairs

2007-06-08T07:55:00.001-07:00

How do you tell that a car has previously had an accident and was repaired? This is very easy. What you need to do is gently knock against the bodywork as you move around slowly all over the car. What you will be looking for in this exercise, is a distinct change of sound in areas where some panel beating and filling were done.

Silver stockpiles shrinking rapidly

2007-06-04T11:34:00.000-07:00

Online news flash;
Experts insist that at the moment silver is an especially ideal investment prospect. One of the reasons is the fact that world demand has been climbing for a long time and now exceeds annual production. Additionally, above ground stockpiles of silver bullion are low, shrinking rapidly and approaching zero.

Monex is naturally the name to go for being America’s best dealer with a convenient market and competitive precious metals prices.

As an investment tool, silver is available in coin or ingot form. Ingots are generally silver ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. Coins have a currency value or they are actually defined as ingots.

Just like a doctor

2007-06-04T11:32:00.002-07:00

Just the way a doctor is able to quickly tell the health of a person by simply looking at the color of the urine, there is a lot that can be told from what a car emits. Specifically the color of smoke from the exhaust will immediately tell an expert eye the condition of certain parts in the engine.

How an expert can tell the condition of an engine

2007-06-04T11:32:00.001-07:00

To an expert ear, the sound of an engine can tell a lot about its' condition. I am not talking about obvious changes in sound that indicate that there is a major problem with the engine. I am talking about little subtle changes that the untrained ear will always miss every time.

Brakes failing at the wrong time

2007-05-24T23:44:00.001-07:00

There are several instances where brakes fail at very crucial moments. To avoid this terrifying ordeal, it is important that you maintain your car in tiptop condition. Then it is equally important that you understand how the braking system of the car works. I once saw a mechanic almost cause disaster by failing to understand the Volvo braking system and repairing each brake in isolation when each of the brakes in each of the wheels all work together.

Failed brakes

2007-05-24T23:43:00.001-07:00

The brakes are one of the most important features of any car. Failed brakes can put driver and pedestrians in serious danger of losing their lives. A lot naturally depends on what kind of speed the car is doing at the time the driver discovers that the brakes are no longer working.

Slippery wet roads

2007-05-24T05:42:00.002-07:00

For instance a lot of rain always makes the roads more slippery, meaning that you should drive slowly because braking distances are greatly reduced, should the need arise for you to apply emergency brakes at some point. Snow and ice on the road makes things even worse. In these kind of conditions you should always assume that your car has some major flaws as far as the weather is concerned.

Weather conditions and cars

2007-05-24T05:42:00.001-07:00

There is nothing like harsh and extreme weather conditions to reveal weaknesses and even flaws in a car. However the truth is that extreme weather makes driving dangerous in most cases and this has little or nothing to do with flaws in the car design or manufacturing. It is simply a fact of life.

Wives can spot small details that suggest car flaws

2007-05-21T07:16:00.000-07:00

Even if you do not think that your wife will spot mechanical flaws in the used car you are about to purchase, it is still very important that she has her say. Once my wife noticed that there was a problem with the bodywork at the back of a car we were about to buy. I would never have seen it and on closer examination we found badly done panel beating work that was done to repair accident damage in the car.

Women see car flaws better

2007-05-21T07:15:00.000-07:00

The flaws in the car you are about to purchase may not be the only ones. It is advisable to let your spouse have a look at the car as well. Women will tend to spot flaws in the appearance of a car much quicker then men will. Since you will both be using the car, it is advisable to get the input of your spouse when purchasing a car.

Huge appetite

2007-05-21T06:00:00.000-07:00

Small is beautiful they say. Others add, that small is also less likely to have flaws. Not all agree, but it is a fact that smaller cars that consume less gasoline that have invaded the American market have generally done very well. More so when you consider that America still has a huge appetite for big cars and generally everything big.

Smaller and more practical car

2007-05-21T05:58:00.000-07:00

Some people believe that there are less flaws in a smaller more practical car. This is the reason why Japanese cars have taken the American market by storm. Especially at the beginning when the Japs entered the American market with their small gasoline-conserving cars. Before American carmakers could understand what was going on, they had lost a huge chunk of the market.

Before you purchase a used car...

2007-05-20T05:37:00.001-07:00

When you purchase a used car and then find some serious flaws later, it is usually too late and you can hardly sue the used car dealer. Actually the best solution is for you to be able to tell the flaws in the car before you purchase it. A useful tip that can save you plenty of grief is to switch on the engine and carefully observe the color of the fumes coming out of the exhaust. It should be colorless almost invisible. If it is a thick smoke, it means that there are a number of problems under the hood.

Probably not. And maybe because you have not come across a novel business that provides very high quality used golf balls.

A risk not worth taking

2007-05-15T08:09:00.000-07:00

The truth is that many times most people prefer to ignore manufacturer's instructions and what has encouraged them is the fact that many times they have gotten away with it running small gadgets and equipment in the house and office. When it comes to cars, it is a risk that is not worth taking and could cost you dearly.

Ignoring the manufacturer's specifications

2007-05-15T08:08:00.000-07:00

Many times car owners create serious flaws in their own cars by simply ignoring the manufacturer's specifications. Any person with some mechanical or engineering background will tell you just how important manufacturer's specifications and instructions are. Always remember that they were devised for a specific purpose and many times that purpose has to do with safety.

What you need to know about Mother's day

Online news flash;
There are few days given in honor of any group of people that are as deserved as Mother's day. A mother is the one person who makes the biggest contribution to the life of anybody.

Interestingly, the earliest celebration honoring mother’s dates back to the annual spring festival of ancient Greece dedicated to Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. The Greeks would pay tribute with honey-cakes and fine drinks and flowers at dawn.

But even today, Mother's day is a day where we take some time to thank the person that brought us into this world. Or the person that cared for us when we were young and even as we were growing up.

The best Mothers Day Gifts you can give are gourmet chocolates, fruits, wines, breads, cheeses and more. A brilliant way of doing this is to customize a mother's day basket with the food you know she loves most.

The day my Volvo brakes failed

2007-05-15T07:45:00.001-07:00

I do not want to sound alarmist but the truth is that an auto repairman can cost you your life. I still remember the harrowing incident I went through when this auto repairman who looked at my Volvo braking system ignored a simple instruction from the manufacturer. The next thing I knew was that I was at high speed on the highway and my brakes were not working. Luckily I survived that, miraculously stopping without hitting anything. The brakes somehow worked for a brief enough period for me to stop the car.

Auto mechanic terror

Some of the flaws in our cars can be caused by the people we trust to service and repair our cars. Many of them are very good at what they do, but others can cause disaster because they hardly take the time to study a new model that they have never handled before, let alone respect the manufacturer's specifications and instructions.

Car Tyres

Tires that had one problem or the other have caused some very serious and fatal accidents.

The flawless Volvo I missed

2007-05-02T11:13:00.000-07:00

A mechanic at a used car dealer where I wanted to purchase a used Volvo discouraged me from purchasing it, saying that the automatic gear transmission would give me endless problems. The technology was still relatively new in those days. Little knowledge is dangerous because automatic cars are fairly reliable although they can give you a major headache when something goes wrong.

Limited knowledge is dangerous

Little knowledge is very dangerous indeed. There was this time that I wanted to buy a used car. It was in excellent condition and looking back today, that's the car I should have paid for instead of going for the other option that was full of flaws. In those days automatic gear boxes were still quiet new.

Endowment policy

2007-04-28T10:12:00.000-07:00

message from our sponsors;
nderstanding what endowment mortgages are is the first step towards being able to recognize current problems associated to this rather innovative mortgage idea that has worked for decades. This is the kind of mortgage where the principle of the loan is covered by a type of insurance known as an endowment policy. The endowment policy ensures that the mortgage holder will be able to pay off the loan when it is due. The only thing that remains to be paid is the interest on the loan.

In recent times, due to various reasons, endowment mortgages have not quite worked and people who take them out have not been able to pay off what is owed. In many cases it is just a question of the seller being able to find the right buyer for their unique endowments policy which means finding a service to help you sell it off.

Safer car colors

2007-04-28T10:11:00.000-07:00

White and various shades close to white are usually safer colors to have in a car because they are more easily visible on dark nights and even in foggy conditions. So in a way it is true to say that many folks consider other colors other than white on a car flawed. Especially if it is a dark color. But this is not the opinion of many and car owners are still able to enjoy their favorite rides in all sorts of colors.

Need attention

2007-04-23T09:16:00.000-07:00

The way to tell of a car has some problems and may need attention from a car mechanic is from the color of the smoke. The heavier and darker it is, the more serious the problem. Smoke from the exhaust is supposed to be almost colorless, or at least as clear as possible.

The easy way

2007-04-23T09:15:00.000-07:00

An easy way for you to tell that you are sick and something is wrong with you is by simply observing the color of your urine. When it changes color and becomes darker that usual, that means trouble. In the same way, you can easily tell that a car has a problem in it's engine by observing the color of smoke coming out the exhaust.

While nobody is exactly sure how the car of the future will look like, there are plenty of clues that point in possible directions.

Serious car crimes in Africa

Serious car crimes are on the rise. A new term has been coined recently. It is “carjacking” which is a common crime in many parts of the world including South Africa and other parts of Africa. It is in fact a very violent crime and many folks who have been through a carjacking ordeal will shiver at the mere mention of the phrase.

What Carjacking means in Africa

Carjacking in some parts of the world does not mean just hijacking of the automobile. In many instances it could also mean the rape of the occupants of the vehicle, both male and female. Believe it or not this is exactly what happened in a recent incident in crime infested Nairobi, the capital of Kenya in East Africa.

Tungsten-halogen Light Bulbs In Cars

2007-01-13T07:00:00.000-08:00

Did you know that to produce the headlight's forward illumination, most cars these days employ halogen or tungsten-halogen light bulbs. The light bulb's tungsten filaments are enclosed in a disc of halogen gas like iodine and bromine to make it glow brighter and last longer. Another source of light are xenon headlights

About Car Headlights

2007-01-13T06:55:00.000-08:00

Car headlights are extremely important. Always consider them as extensions of your own eyes: they throw light on what's ahead so you can see and drive better. At night, they also warn the driver. There are two types of headlights. In older cars, the headlight and the inner light bulb are in one piece, mounted by a thin metal band held down by screws. You have to replace the entire headlight when one of the components fails. In most cars, the headlight and the bulb inside are built separately, and you can replace either one when it breaks.

2006-11-09T02:09:00.000-08:00

2. Invite an expert who can quickly check out the car and hive you a rough idea of what trouble you should expect.

3. Inspect the car of your choice. Do it very thoroughly and carefully. Since the car is already a second-hand good, it would be inevitable that there are little or major flaws and defects on the engine or other parts. The presence of such defects should reflect in the tag price, making that car cheaper.

Car Flaws And Your Warranty

2006-08-12T08:08:00.000-07:00

It is important to understand how car flaws affect warranty. This article gives details

Lemon Law - Car Warranty, the Background, Substance and Practical Implementation
By Amit Laufer

Lemon Law Background

The term "Lemon-Law" is a nick name derived from other common terms such as "Lemon-Car", "Monday-cars" and "Friday-Cars".

A lemon car is a defective car that, when purchased new or used, is found by the purchaser to have numerous or severe defects not readily apparent before the purchase. Any vehicle with these issues can be termed a "lemon car" and by extension, any product which has major flaws that render it unfit for its purpose can be described as a "lemon product".

New vehicles directly from the factory may contain hidden mechanical flaws or defects in workmanship, usually caused by an error during the build process of the car. These errors can range from parts being installed incorrectly, a tool that was used to build the car not being removed, a batch of materials with structural or chemical flaws or simply bad design.

Usually, a car is labeled a lemon if the same problem occurs 3 times in a row over a short period, and previous attempts at repair have not repaired the problem. In most cases, if you get a lemon, lemon laws will make the company buy back the car or exchange it.

Many of you might remember that during the late eighties the average American consumer almost lost faith completely with the American made cars.

The amount of lemon cars along with the high rate of over the average visits to the car garages as well as the high repairs and spare parts cost, caused many Americans to switch to Japanese and even European cars.

This was a period of time when Americans were reluctant to go to the dealers garages and preferred to go to oil & lube services only.

At that time Lee Iacocca the CEO of Chrysler Corp identified immediately the problem of mistrust of American consumers in American made cars, Chrysler launched a campaign on national TV promising to provide a bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage for 50,000 miles or five years, which ever comes first! Then GM came with the answer of 60,000 miles or 6 years, which ever comes first! Chrysler returned with the final stroke of 70,000 miles or 7 years which ever comes first.

Few months later I went to the Buick main dealer garage in long Island, I was seating in the waiting room, next to me was a very nervous guy, I asked him why was he so upset with the garage, he explained to me that even though he had this bumper-to-bumper warranty It doesn't cover labor and the damn car is more than a week in the garage and they don't seems to be able to find what is the problem with the car...

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is Known as the "Lemon Law"

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a United States federal law codified at 15 USC 50. Enacted in 1975, it is the federal statute that governs warranties on consumer products.

The Act was sponsored by Senators Warren G. Magnuson of Washington and Frank Moss of Utah, both Democrats. State Lemon Laws have some differences like coverage of motorcycles and used vehicles, but there are some basic guidelines that they do share. (See 50 state by state Lemon Law Summaries at: http://autopedia.com/html/HotLinks_Lemon2.html).

In passing the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Congress specified a number of requirements that warrantors must meet. Congress also directed the FTC to adopt rules to cover other requirements.

The FTC adopted three Rules under the Act, the Rule on Disclosure of Written Consumer Product Warranty Terms and Conditions (the Disclosure Rule), the Rule on Pre-Sale Availability of Written Warranty Terms (the Pre-Sale Availability Rule), and the Rule on Informal Dispute Settlement Procedures (the Dispute Resolution Rule).

In addition, the FTC has issued an interpretive rule that clarifies certain terms and explains some of the provisions of the Act. This section summarizes all the requirements under the Act and the Rules.

The Act and the Rules establish three basic requirements that may apply to a warrantor or a seller.

A. As a warrantor, you must designate, or title, your written warranty as either "full" or "limited."

B. As warrantor, you must state certain specified information about the coverage of your warranty in a single, clear and easy to read document.

C. As a warrantor or a seller, you must ensure that warranties are available where your warranted consumer products are sold so that consumers can read them before buying.

The laws define what a lemon car is and require that the manufacturer, not the dealer, takes care of the defects. If a number of attempts have been made to repair a defect that significantly impairs the use, value or safety of a car and the car continues to have this defect, the car is than considered to be a "lemon".

Most statutes set up a warranty rights period of either 12 to 24 months or 12,000 to 24,000 miles. The defect(s) must occur sometime during this period.

Many of the state laws contain specific guidelines as to what constitutes a sufficient number of attempts to repair, and whether these attempts entitle the consumer to a refund or replacement. These are:

a. If the defect is a serious safety defect involving brakes and or steering, the manufacturer is granted one attempt to repair.

b. If there is a safety defect that is not considered a serious safety defect, the manufacturer has two attempts to repair.

c. For any other defect, the manufacturer is usually given three or four chances to repair the same defect.

d. If at any time the vehicle is in the shop for a cumulative total of 30 days in a one year period, with at least one of those days occurring the first 12,000 miles.

If any one of these of these guidelines can be satisfied, the consumer is usually given the right to require repurchase or replacement of his/her vehicle.

Most lemon laws do allow an offset for use of the vehicle by the consumer. Oftentimes, a reduction in the consumer's purchase price return is used in relation to the number of miles he/she had put on the car. One law spells out the reduction in refund for use as follows:

(miles at time of refund X purchase price)/100,000

Only about one half of the lemon laws allow the consumer to recover attorney's fees in his/her action. Those states that do allow attorney's fees provide for a greater likelihood of success and representation in warranty disputes.

What the Magnuson-Moss Act – Lemon Law, Does Not Require

First, the Act does not require any business to provide a written warranty. The Act allows businesses to determine whether to warrant their products in writing. However, once a business decides to offer a written warranty on a consumer product, it must comply with the Act.

Second, the Act does not apply to oral warranties. Only written warranties are covered.

Third, the Act does not apply to warranties on services. Only warranties on goods are covered. However, if your warranty covers both the parts provided for a repair and the workmanship in making that repair, the Act does apply to you. (Source: http://www.ftc.gov/index.html).

Finally, the Act does not apply to warranties on products sold for resale or for commercial purposes. The Act covers only warranties on consumer products. This means that only warranties on tangible property normally used for personal, family, or household purposes are covered. (This includes property attached to or installed on real property.) Note that applicability of the Act to a particular product does not, however, depend upon how an individual buyer will use it.

Are Car Flaws Eliminated By A Long History? That is the question this article on the Corvette answers;

A Car Tested By History
By David Atkin

A car tested by history, the Corvette has been tested by time, and by the racing history of its linage, this car has with out a doubt stood up to every test that it has been put through, oh yeah it had its down time, that was called the 1980’s for the Corvette, and a lot of people were wondering if it would make a come back, you might say that it has done just that.

Every car goes through its rough patches, its design flaws and its revisions, the Corvette is one of the best examples of longevity that any car company has ever seen, usually sports car and muscle cars come and go, but the Corvette has never went anywhere yet, it just seems to keep standing the test of time and evolving in to a better and better car.

You might say, what about the Mustang, while you brag about cars that stand that test of time, the Corvette was came out eleven years before the Mustang, just to lay that theory to rest, the Mustang was introduced to compete with the Corvette, and the Corvette was just the better car in most respects, handling, power and most of the other tests that it went through it did beat the Mustang in.

The Corvette has had a fantastic history the Chevrolet motor company, in 1953 Chevrolet hired Zora Arkus Duntov to design the Corvette, and that he did, he was the lead engineer on the Corvette project, and he made it do some amazing things, it would go on to keep amazing people right up to the latest model.

Zora joined General Motors in 1953 after seeing the Motorama Corvette on display in New York. Perhaps it was just fate that Zora happened to be among the thousands of people who attended the GM event. Zora found the car to be visually superb, but was disappointed with what was underneath. He wrote Chevrolet chief engineer Ed Cole that it would be his complement to work on such a beautiful car; he also included a technical paper, which proposed an analytical method of determining a car's top speed. Chevrolet was so impressed that engineer Maurice Olley invited him to come to Detroit. On May 1, 1953, Zora Arkus-Duntov started at Chevrolet as an assistant staff engineer.

In 1963 Zora would launch the Gran Sport program. The original idea captured the interest and imagination of Corvette fans all over the world. The idea was to create a special lightweight Corvette weighing only 1,800 pounds and race it on an international circuit against not only Cobras and other GT-Class cars, but also racing only prototypes from Ferrari, Ford and Porsche. Power for the Grand Sport was to come from an aluminum version of the small block V8, equipped with special twin-plug cylinder heads. At 377ci, output was a projected 550hp at 6,400 RPM. But as it had so often, GM policy prohibited Zora from going racing, but not before five Grand Sports were built. The five Grand Sports eventually fell into the hands of private owners, and Zora somehow found a way to support them in spite of the official ban.

Zora retired in 1975, turning the reins over to Dave McLellan. At 81 years of age, Zora Arkus-Duntov was still passionate and opinionated about his car, the Corvette. It was during the time between Zora's retirement and his death that his legend grew. When ever anything Corvette happened, Zora was there. A member of the Drag Racing Hall of Fame, the Chevrolet Legends of Performance, and the Automotive Hall of Fame, Zora took part in the rollout of the 1 Millionth Corvette at Bowling Green in 1992. He also drove the bulldozer at the ground-breaking ceremonies for the National Corvette Museum in 1994. Six week before his death, Zora was guest speaker at "Corvette: A Celebration of an American Dream", an evening held at the showrooms of Jack Cauley Chevrolet Detroit. On had that night were Dave McLellen and the Current Corvette chief engineer Dave Hill, but no one could argue that Zora stole the show.

In 1966 Chevrolet would have a brain burst, and build a beast called the L88 Corvette, which had a factory HP rating of 435, which was a serious under rating, the car was doing closer to 600 HP, in 1967 the Corvette would once again prove itself by winning the 24 hours of Lemans, against the likes of, Porsche and Ferrari, this time it would gain world wide recognition and become a real player in the sports car world, the USA was finally in with the big boys. The Corvette had made a big impression on the racing world.

This car could hold it’s own with the best the Europeans had to offer, it would drive sales through the roof for Chevrolet, it had succeeded beyond Chevrolet’s wildest dreams, and it qualified in two categories it was a sports car and a muscle car, the Corvette had done what no other American car had ever done before, the L88 Corvette was truly a car to behold.

And this wasn’t the end of the amazing feats for this very special car, in 1969 a slip up would happen at the Chevrolet manufacturing plant, at the time they were building two very special cars for a couple of the big wigs at Chevrolet motor division, these cars were never supposed to be released to the general public, they were built to campaign at the race track, and were really race cars, not street cars.

The slip up would allow these two cars to leave the plant and be sold at two of Chevrolet’s showrooms, I don’t know what showrooms they were, but these cars were called ZL1 Corvettes, and there was a white one built, and a Saturn yellow one, the yellow one got auctioned off after the government confiscated in a drug raid, it went for $500,000 at auction.

The Zl1 Corvette was rated at 450 HP from the factory, but estimates put it closer to an honest 670 HP, which made this car the highest horsepower car ever built during that time, and as you can imagine these cars are worth a lot of money today, if you could find one, they came from the factory with a roll bar and a lot of other racing attire, due to the fact that they were meant to race.

The truth is that contrary to what most people think, prices have not gone up, it is just that our paper money has lost a lot of value, more so because it is no longer backed by real money, real silver and gold. Did you know that the same weight in silver still buys gas at the price of decades ago (25 cents a gallon). That’s why investment experts have long-recommend portfolio diversification and that 20% or more of an investor's assets be devoted to tangible assets such as gold, silver and platinum bullion and bullion coins. This is a prudent asset diversification strategy critical in today’s uncertain world that is made possible by Monex a company that has been helping clients buy gold bullion since 1967.
