Should you Buy a New or Used Car in 2013?

Updated: May 24, 2013

With the volume of new car sales sky rocketing in the UK during the last nine months, it would appear as though consumers are shopping with renewed confidence and resilience.

Crate engines

Updated: February 15, 2012

Choosing to purchase crate engine as an alternative to rebuilding an existing motor can be very smart. The cost associated with rebuilding a motor and heads cost a small fortune. Machine work is over a hundred dollars per hour. The machine work needed to complete a complete motor rebuild will cost in the neighborhood of four hundred dollars. You will need to have the heads ground and shaved, also valves will need to be lapped and seated along with valve guide reaming or replacement.

With the cost of small block rebuild kits becoming very expensive and combining the cost of the machinist work needed to perform a full rebuild the project is sometimes just not cost effective. The only time really that the approach of choosing a rebuild is cost effective is if the automobile is a collector�s item or rarity. Collectors� items often have numbered engine parts that affect their value substantially if replaced with Crate Engines.

DETROIT - So you think junior is a little too lead-footed when he drives the family car? Starting next year, Ford Motor Co. will give you the power to do something about it.

Ford to sell Mazda shares to insurers?

While GM is being swamped with the persistent rumors surrounding the addition/dissolution of Chrysler, Ford's rumor mill has been heading in the complete opposite direction. It appears Volvo is on the way out of Dearborn, but Mazda may be sneaking through the exit first. Recent reports since disputed by Mazda have Ford selling off a portion of its 33.4% stake in the Japanese automaker, which means the Blue Oval would lose majority ownership status. The Nikkei daily in Japan has been all over the Ford/Mazda story, and the latest news involves selling 20% of Mazda to 20 Japanese firms including some insurance companies, leaving Ford with a stake of around 13%.

2009 Ford Taurus - Review

Though the 2009 Ford Taurus is a result of name and design changes in the past few years, the 2009 Taurus is a carryover from the prior model year. It seems that Ford has finally gotten it right with an aerodynamic, elegant exterior and an impressive engine configuration. Superior power sets the 2009 Ford Taurus apart from the competition, like the Chrysler Sebring, and a wealth of standard features make the sedan a great pick for even the most discriminating buyers. An affordable price, technological upgrades, and Ford's Personal Safety System give the four-door sedan a wide-reaching appeal.

2009 Ford Focus

With four trim models starting under $18,000 (the S model starting under $15,000) the front wheel drive 2009 Ford Focus is competitive on price. SE, SES and SEL are each a step up, but all very reasonable. At 24 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway, it holds the line on gas mileage as well. Economy is not hurt by the warranty, which is competitive, if not outstanding. And to protect your investment further, Ford throws in a standard theft-deterrent system.

Economy is what drives the Focus. This is a car with a limited audience. First time drivers, college students, new families, or established families needing a dependable, but cheap, second car will find the Focus interesting.
