Where to get good deal cars

When is the best time to buy good deal cars? According to the news from different auto websites that August 27 is the best month to purchase a vehicle and experienced huge discounts about eight percent up to twenty percent off (that's amazing!). It is somehow a good opportunity for all consumers as explained by the experts because car manufacturers sale went down during the Japan earthquake and the reason why the supplies of vehicles is getting higher.

If you have already decided which vehicles are great to purchase this year, well, I highly recommend buying a preowned Toyota or any mid size sedans which is ideal for family or business use. While others would love to own a SUV with five or six seating capacity, a very good option for spending the entire summer with your lovedones.

Before going to the garage sale, I would suggest that you start browsing your desired vehicle online through best car deals site like trusteddealers.co.uk wherein there is a huge selection of used cars and a chance to meet your dealer online and start to make your negotiations. Also, on the website, you will find current deals events and news that happened on a specific area. Which is really more exciting compared to reading a regular daily newspaper to look for the best deals. The most exciting feature that they offer is you can check it before, during and after you purchase. Even you have the chance to test drive the cars and helping you to arrange with the payments after.

The website has enable to lessen the time and minimize overstock wherein Dealers have the freedom to talk with any members who registered on the site to give the latest insights about car sale in UK. They said, the best time to purchase is in September or December, but I would say that the special bargains have just  started.

End of the Road for Mazda RX-8

I read a news that Mazda has stopped production of its Rx-8 sports car due to more stringent emissions standards and significantly dry sales.  1,134 RX8s were sold in 2010. Sales are down 21 percent through July. The Japanese automaker was forced to remove the model from European showrooms last year after it failed to meet emissions standards, and the company says that it simply can't justify continuing to manufacture the vehicle without sales in the old country.

According to the report, production wrapped up in Hiroshima, Japan in July, and global sales will finish up this year. Currently, Automotive News says that U.S. dealers have 300 RX-8 units in stock. While this may be the end for the rotary sports car in the near-term, Mazda has made it clear that the manufacturer isn't giving up on its rotary heritage any time soon.

What Kind of Shock you need for your Vehicle?

Not because you own the truck or car  already means that you can easily determine the kind of shock you need. This can be only identified if you know your budget and the type of wheeling that you prefer. You may ask help from your friend or colleagues who have a similar automobile or into off-roading. However, here are some very basic guidelines.



Day to day driver, infrequent off-roader – Try running a twin-tube shock. These shocks offer good bump absorbing benefits while keeping your tires planted firmly on the road and are much cheaper than their more-advanced cousins.

Dedicated rock crawler – Here, differing opinions may arise. In our opinion, a dedicated rock-crawling vehicle doesn’t require fancy-schmancy shock absorbers. The reason: your rig is traveling at a few miles per hour and the rate of suspension cycle is incredibly slow. Save your money for some other cool gadgets and go with an inexpensive shock. Contradiction – If you find that you frequently need to travel at higher speeds, possibly over some washboard roads to get to your rock-crawling trails, you may consider upgrading to a gas-pressurized or a mono-tube shock absorber.

Medium/High-speed trail runner and/or daily driver – In this instance, if you find yourself traveling at speeds beyond 20 miles per hour on the trail and do a lot of daily driving, you would benefit from upgrading to a mono-tube or reservoir type shock absorber.

High-speed racing and/or mudder and/or extreme off-roader – If you find yourself falling within these categories, you should seriously consider a set of bypass shocks or at a minimum a set of reservoir type shock absorbers.
