			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s always nice to get in on the ground floor. Twenty years ago, a friend of mine trumped most of the planet by discovering the music of Nirvana when they released their first album ‘Bleach’, meaning that by the time the rest of the world caught on to the zillion-selling follow-up ‘Nevermind’, he was already listening to other stuff.</p>
<p>You’re a couple of decades too late to get on board with Nirvana now, but it’s a perfect time to carve yourself a reputation as a trendsetter on the road by looking into an electric vehicle.</p>
<p>Pierre Loing, vice-president of the product planning and zero-emission business unit at Nissan, has been reported as saying that he expects zero-emission vehicles to account for 10 percent of global vehicle sales by 2020.</p>
<p>This is obviously a topic close to Loing’s heart, with Nissan’s multi-award winning LEAF currently one of the market leaders in this fledgling sector. Since its launch at the end of 2010, around 15,000 LEAFs have been sold, with 8000 on the road in the US, 6000 in Japan, and about 1000 in Europe.</p>
<p>Those aren’t huge numbers when you compare them to, say, your average petrol-powered Ford Fiesta, but they are enough for Nissan to be able to stake a legitimate claim to having the first mass-production electric car.</p>
<p>The company has plans to aggressively push the LEAF over the next couple of years, but if you’re looking for an inexpensive way to get on board at the start of the electric revolution, a second-hand version is a great way to do it – and a knowledgeable dealer like <a href="http://www.glynhopkin.com/honda/used-cars">used Nissan Leaf</a> is a perfect place to start.</p>

<p dir="ltr">You&#8217;ve decided you need to buy <a href="http://www.car.org/newsstand/newsreleases/" target="_blank">new cars</a> but do not have enough money to pay all at once. Under such situations, most people turn to car loans. When you apply for a loan to buy a car the first thing the lender will analyze your financial situation is. Its purpose is whether it is reliable or not grants you the loan and whether it makes sense to lend you the money you request. Before applying for a car loan, find great rate you will pay, because it is usually quite high.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Remember that even people in good financial interests complains so high they have to pay car loans, do not get carried away and make sure you are able to repay the loan comfortably. Can consolidate loans for car purchase? Car loans are categorized as loans insured by it, like mortgages, can not be consolidated through debt consolidation programs. Personal loans, student loans, credit card debt, etc.. there are ways to consolidate. If you are in <a href="http://www.carloansmodification.com/" target="_blank">late car payment</a> situation, you need debt consolidation. Debt consolidation is a very beneficial process to solve numerous debts. In this process, multiple debts are consolidated into a single quantity, whose amount is paid by one payment each month.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The interest of the consolidated debt is usually lower than the interest in individual loans, however, if a person is using a loan for home equity debt consolidation, your home is the collateral for the loan and whether that person can not pay, the lender can take the house and sell it to recover the money lent. Also keep in mind that if the time to pay the consolidated debt is greater than the original loan, you&#8217;ll be paying more interest if the interest rate is lower. When you contact a debt consolidation company counsel first thing is to analyze the amount of your current debt and then negotiate with the creditor on your behalf and reduce the amount of debt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Today, most stores allow all purchase products without having to pay in cash. Initially, funding was used to sell products whose cost was relatively high compared to wages existed. It was a way to get products to the maximum number of clients. Currently, the funding has been extended to virtually all business sectors, and may even make the purchase and pay it little by little with a credit card. Examples of goods and services that are usually used to finance include: housing, means of transportation (cars, motorcycles, etc..), The high cost of travel (vacation, honeymoon), appliances, furniture &#8230; and many more. In short, to finance any product, the best way to know how much is actually known pay monthly fees and any costs of handling, opening, studio, etc.. of the operation (will add to total due). The interest rate is an approximate figure, but not decisive to compare different funding proposals.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is because sometimes we get a low interest rate that can be monthly, for example, and then becomes more unfavorable. Or a low interest rate but with other associated expenses are not included in this type. Therefore, we know we will pay the monthly installments, the initial expenses if any and the term. Calculating the total amount paid at the end of the financing transaction we know the final amount of interest paid, total payment less the principal.  For the payment, do your best, don’t ever late, such as <a href="http://www.autodebtconsulting.com/" target="_blank">late car payment</a>. If you are late, the interest will greater and your debt will be larger. If you are late, contact the bank or leasing company as soon as possible, negotiate with them. Do not ignore it, since if you ignore it, your chance to loss your car will be greater. More information about usually you can find in the <a href="http://www.roadandtrack.com/" target="_blank">car magazine</a> that you can buy in the book store.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why choose <a href="http://www.nationaltransportllc.com"><strong><em>car transport campanies</em></strong></a>.If you have ever had to move from one state in one part of the country to another state in another part of the country, then you know how much of a hassle it can be. This is especially true if you own more than one vehicle, as this makes the moving process slightly more complicated. For instance, let’s say that you were married and your husband owned a motorcycle as well as a classic car such as an old mustang. Now let’s say you had just purchased a brand new BMW. Finally, let’s assume that you and your husband are planning on buying your first home together…in an entirely different part of the country so that you can be closer to family. What are you going to do about your vehicles? You need <a href="http://www.nationaltransportllc.com"><strong><em>car transport companies</em></strong></a> to transport them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Malaysia does not conjure up thoughts with car enthusiasts as being an automotive powerhouse. Indeed, many of the cars built in this burgeoning Southeast Asian nation are manufactured in cooperation with more known brands including Volkswagen and Kia. That may all be changing soon as Malaysia&#8217;s top auto manufacturers start building more models containing their own content. One manufacturer, Naza Automotive Manufacturing, is doing just that by releasing a pair of models this month that will be Malaysian designed and will utilize local materials. How could this move prove to be important to American motorists? Well, just as several Chinese manufacturers have designs on bringing cheaply priced cars to the U.S., Malaysian automakers may soon follow. Likely, you have never heard of Naza, but keep an eye on the world auto scene as Naza and at least one other Malaysian automaker, Proton, rush to develop cars explicitly designed for the lucrative U.S. market.</p>
<p>Naza, is not likely to be a name easily forgotten, but for two different reasons: the first, is the automaker&#8217;s similarity to &#8220;Nazi&#8221; and the second, because the company will soon be building its own cars for the expanding Malaysian market. Previously, Kia cars were the company&#8217;s chief product built, with a Peugeot model also planned for release. Now, according to corporate sources, the company will be building two of its own models, a 1.1L powered car called the NX01 and a slightly larger model, the NX02.</p>
<p>Despite the similarity to the notorious word Nazi, the company is also known as NAM and could use that latter name for export once capacity has been met for the home market. NAM officials, along with its chief national competitor, Proton, will certainly be studying the coming release of Chinese cars to the American market. If Chinese cars are successful abroad, look for NAM and Proton models built at newly created Malaysian manufacturing plants to be exported as well. This move could put additional price pressure on the U.S. market as another source of cheaply priced cars enters our market. At the same time, Malaysia could use the financial boost of exporting a potentially lucrative product overseas.</p>
<p>Yes, the American automotive market is changing as is Malaysia&#8217;s auto industry. Perhaps, Ford or GM will work with Naza and help bring in certain models to fill out their own lines. More than likely this won&#8217;t happen and Naza will go it alone. Regardless, American consumers are likely to benefit in the form of more choices and with low new car prices at least in the entry level segment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve ever purchased a car, or are in the market for a vehicle, then you know how important research is. Proper information gathering procedures can help you make an informed decision on the car you wish to buy. You want to do everything possible to prevent yourself from spending your hard-earned dollars on a lemon of an automobile. Because of your diligence to knowledge, there are many routes available for you to choose to get the information you need. You can ask people about the car in question, for example. However, most people, when they are looking for a car to buy, use consumer reports to get the information they need.</p>
<p>Consumer reports are valuable sources of automotive purchasing information. A detailed consumer report can give you honest and accurate reviews on such important vehicular information such as gas mileage, braking ability, steering control and traction. Unless you are an automotive expert, or have the capacity to test out a wide range of vehicles that you are interested in buying, the consumer report is your best bet to get the unfiltered and precise information that you need to have.</p>
<p>Another reason why consumer reports are helpful is because they are often written by trusted third party sources. In some cases, consumer reports are actually created by people who have purchased and driven the car in question. This is of prime benefit because it gives you your own personal perspective on the car and its attributes. A customer generated consumer report is written by someone like yourself, so that someone like yourself can easily read, follow and comprehend it. Layman information is of absolute importance when it comes to reading an automotive consumer report.</p>
<p>Some consumer reports are written by automotive or vehicular experts. These are people who understand detailed aspects of the car that you&#8217;re interested in. They are able to break down the pros and cons of the car in great length and present the information in an easy to read consumer report.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When trying to sell a car dealer your products or services most sales are lost because of these 3 reasons.</p>
<p>The main reason that your sales are not where they should be is because most dealers never receive your message.  Unless you are a huge company with an advertising budget in the millions most dealership owners and general managers will never see your message. Car Dealers are constantly bombarded with everything from window decals to water filtration systems and averages state that your prospect will have to see your message at least 7 times before they will have a favorable opinion about your products and services. How many times are your dealers seeing your message?</p>
<p>Another important point that happens in most campaigns is the message is too long. You must have copy that gets right to the point. If your message is 7 pages long and requires the prospect to spend 15 minutes reading it chances are they wont.  Take a look at the length and see what points you really need to make.  Most marketing and sales agents make the mistake of tyring to sell the prospect with their copy and adding in every little feature and benefit about their product.  Instead offer a teaser approach and get them to contact you for additional information.  This will allow you to focus on hot prospects while testing your marketing message.</p>
<p>The final reason that most campaign fail is not using enough marketing mediums to contact your prospect.  We all know that an appointment with the decision maker offers the best opportunity to sell your product or service, but in the automotive marketing world we all know that is next to impossible.  With the phone being the next best followed by direct mail and internet marketing. You must make an effort to use every form to reach your dealers.  How many are you currently using?</p>
<p>If you incorporate these ideas into your current sales and marketing campaigns your sales and profits will explode and If you need the most exclusive automotive direct mail and marketing list with complete contact information on 21,545 Auto Dealers for only $297 visit: http://www.AutoDealerList.com</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my capacity as the owner of an import car dealership, I am often amazed at the levels some wholesalers will go to in order to cover up damages to vehicles.  As any reputable reseller will tell you, finding the best vehicles is not only a matter of knowing what to physically look for, it&#8217;s also a matter of knowing how to spot title and ownership oddities.  Lately, I have noticed many wholesalers in possession of autos that were originally sold in the Louisiana and Mississippi areas.  For some reason, these vehicles had their titles transferred to wholesalers from states far away.  While this isn&#8217;t completely uncommon, it does raise a red flag when you consider the recent natural disasters that have occurred on the Gulf Coast.</p>
<p>Dealerships need to be aware of the opportunity for unscrupulous parties to effectively &#8220;launder&#8221; the titles of these vehicles.  As a result of Hurricane Katrina, many vehicles were likely paid for via insurance claims against flood damage.  These vehicles are finding their way back into the market.  While there is nothing inherently wrong with re-selling a designated flood damaged vehicle, there is something entirely wrong with reselling a flood damaged vehicle under the guise of it not having been damaged.</p>
<p>Being in the industry, I have heard both sides of the argument.  Many wholesalers will tell you that flood damaged vehicles are often appropriated by insurance companies as &#8220;totalled&#8221;, when in fact they may have never been submerged in water at all.  My answer to that is to say that any business which values its customers and strives to maintain integrity and honesty would never sell a product they are unsure of.   In other words, I&#8217;m not willing to take a chance with my business and reputation at stake, nor am I willing to gamble with someone else&#8217;s money.  That&#8217;s exactly what selling a flood damaged automobile is: gambling with your customers money.</p>
<p>Flood damaged vehicles can have corroded electrical systems that are primed for failure, unseen rust damage, and a variety of other problems that can surface at a later time. My advice to dealerships is to use every resource at their disposal to find out the history of the cars they are purchasing and avoid flood damaged vehicles, unless you plan to sell them as such.</p>
