Given how popular used cars are to the American buying public, it is no surprise that many independent car lots have sprung up to satisfy the demand for inexpensive and trustworthy automobiles. Used car prices are hitting record highs according to USA Today, but unlike 10 years ago, most people a search engine like Google to view the inventory and pricing of cars in their area. So without an online presence, many dealers are missing out on the gold rush.

Some third-party websites, like Craigslist, are a great place to list used cars for sale, but putting them online is a tedious and time-consuming process. For instance, a search for used cars in Jacksonville, Florida results in over 9000 results on Craigslist alone. Given this fierce competition, many used-car dealers have become frustrated because they are unable to keep up with the chore of daily postings while also servicing customers who walk onto the lot.

The solution: a self-managed website

Understanding the frustration that independent auto dealers have with the demands of technology, a company by the name of Dealer Platform formed to offer car dealer website templates. The site currently caters to people in the South East and Southern regions of the United States, but is now expanding to offer its services to the entire country.

How Does It Work?

Basically for a low monthly fee any used car dealer can go to their website, pick one of approximately 40 different templates, choose a domain name, upload photos of their inventory, and with the click of a couple buttons, have a fully functioning website that potential customers can visit.

The company allows users to make unlimited listings, and offers a no-hassle service that does not force dealers to sign a lengthy contract…they simply operate on a month-to-month basis.

In addition, most of the time dealers just need to enter the VIN number into their website’s admin page along with the price and mileage, and all the information they need for an ad will be filled in automatically. This is where the magic happens, because once a vehicle is listed, you, the used-car dealer, can post it easily to services like craigslist, eBay motors, or Facebook.

The platform also provides users with the ability to chat live with their visitors, and to make blog posts describing things like their location, dealership history, employees, or even talking about things that the used-car buyer would find helpful.

Dealer Platform has a number of demos for visitors to try out as well as dozens of examples of websites they have made for other car dealers. Follow the link to see examples of used-car dealer website designs available today.

For example, I still remember how my father a few years ago bought a new car and didn’t know what to do with his old one. It took him some time to figure it out and secure the best possible offer, but I wish there was something that could have been done earlier than that. If only had he known how to act from the very beginning, it would have saved him a lot of hassle that could have been avoided in the first place.

Auto insurance shopping for the best rates can be tiresome, at best. How do you make sure you are asking the right questions and getting the best quotes?

It’s easy! Ask these Saver Tip Questions, and you will be quite pleased with the results when shopping for auto insurance.

Saver Tip #1: Which Insurance is Required? Liability insurance is required. Liability insurance protects you only when you injure someone else though. Comprehensive collision insurance protects you when an uninsured motorist hits you, or if you are involved in hit and run. Liability insurance may only be cost effective when insuring an old car.

Saver Tip #2: Should I Raise my Deductible? Yes, you can raise your deductible for a lower premium, but in the long run you’ll have to be paying for minor repairs. The savings might not be what they seem in the beginning.

Saver Tip #3: Will Teen Drivers Drive up my Premiums? No, teens will not drive up your premiums. Encourage your teen driver to take a defensive driving course or some other specialized instruction class. This can drop their premiums. Also, ask for two quotes. One with your teen added to your policy and the second with your teen on their own policy. Teens can also qualify for a low mileage discount because they may just be driving to school and back, for example. Premiums also will decrease when your teen turns 18 not 25.

Saver Tip #4: What if I Have a Bad Driving Record? Do not despair, life doesn’t always happen as we planned it. Take a traffic course to try and lower the points on your record. Plus, a defensive driving course goes a long way with insurance providers in general.

Saver Tip #5: Can I Buy a New Car? When buying a new car be sure to select a low-profile car with a high safety rating. Avoid cars with the name sport in them. Keep in mind, sports cars also cost more to insure because they are a higher theft risk.

Saver Tip #6: Do Parts and Upgrades Really Matter? Make sure your insurance repair uses manufacturer’s parts when repairing your vehicle. Manufacturer parts helps with the longevity of your car. Also, be mindful of upgrades you add to your car. Often times, insurance companies will only replace the standard value of the car, not the upgrades.

Saver Tip #7: Who Cares Who Drives the Car? Register your spouse as a co-driver. Typically, insurance companies view married drivers as more cautious and not prone to impulsivity behind the wheel. Register only one driver per car can be beneficial as well.

Saver Tip #8: How Do I Cancel my Policy? Make sure you have your canceled policy in writing. This protects you from showing any gaps in your coverage or a policy being terminated for non-payment. If you have your canceled policy in writing then you have proof you have always paid and have always been insured. Bonus!

Saver Tip #9: Why Would I Take Public Transportation? Taking public transit can put you in the running for a commuter rebate. Also, if you can show that you drive under 7,5000 miles annually, additional discounts may be available to you.

Saver Tip #10: Do I Have to Pay Monthly? No, you can pay for your insurance coverage for the year all at once or even quarterly. Typically this saves you several dollars a month which can add up to noticeable savings. Also, ask to go paperless. Every saved dollar counts.

Saver Tip #11: Does Where I Live Matter? Yes. Where you live can affect your premium rates, up or down.

Saver Tip #12: What Upgrades to My Car Lower My Premiums? If you install a car alarm, a tracker, or immobilizer this will reduce the chances of your car being stolen or even better makes it recoverable. Let your insurance agent know when you install one of these anti-theft devices. You’ll appreciate the reward in your lower premiums.

Saver Tip #13: Every Year? Yes, every year you need to go auto insurance shopping. Make sure that you have the best coverage necessary for your changing family. Ask for any money saving opportunities. Maybe they will add on non-accident damage coverage, for instance, in the case of a fire or flood.

Smart Reasons to Buy a Used Car

There are plenty of reasons why buying a used car is a better choice than a new one. Here’s a look at some of the best reasons why, if you are looking to buy a car, you should opt for used instead of new.

Save money. There is no doubt about it; a used car is much less expensive than a new one. You can save thousands of dollars by purchasing a car that is even just a few years old.
Less depreciation. New cars lose so much of their value so quickly. In fact, as soon as you pull a new car out of the lot, your car loses a tremendous amount of value. A used car has already experienced its biggest depreciation, so you don’t have to worry about it losing so much of its worth.
Less expensive to insure. Another way you can save money by purchasing a used car is the insurance. You can expect to pay a lot less to insure a used car because you won’t need to borrow as much money to finance it.
These three reasons are reason enough to purchase a used instead of a new car.

One thing many drivers who spend many hours on the road each day might not be thinking about is the possibility of getting blood clots. the truth is that when you spend plenty of time on the road each day you are at an increased risk of developing the condition. To be honest, being a driver is definitely not the healthiest job, but I guess very often we cannot really be picky about the type of jobs we have. What we can do instead is to minimize the risk of developing a blood clot.

I’ve read somewhere the women are more prone to having blood clots than men are. For this reason, female drivers should be even more careful and alerted when it comes to this. A lot can contribute to a blood clot in the female body: multiple pregnancies that put a tool on the female body, contraceptive pills, and finally hours and hours spent on the road driving your kids to school, supermarket etc. If it wasn’t enough, most of us have office jobs that do not require us to move that much, which only worsens the situations and in many cases is the culprit number one when it comes to blood clots.

For me Christmas time and New Year is not only about spending time with family, but it is also a time when I like to travel probably a lot more than I usually travel except for the summer maybe. I know a few other people out there who like to travel around this time of year and I perfectly understand their reasons to do so. There are many great places around the world that are absolutely amazing to visit in winter due to a number of reasons.

I already made a list of places I would like to visit. Toronto is definitely on the list. It has been a while since I have been there last time. I kind of even miss the place. One thing I have wanted to arrange for some time now is visiting all of the major landmarks in the city. Since I do not want to take the public transportation while in Toronto, I came to the conclusion that I want to look for some other means of being able to get to various places. Somebody offered me a tip to try a Toronto Car Service. Finding a car service won’t be that challenging to me as I know where to look for such things. I am positive that because of the service I am going to enjoy my time in Toronto even more than ever before.

I still have some time before visiting the city, so maybe I do not have to worry about anything too much. I might need to start searching the car service more seriously the closer I am to going to Toronto. If you have any tips and tricks you would like to share with me, I am always ready to listen especially if you know the city of Toronto better than me.

I know how much fun it can be to drive around your area and be aware that you can share this fun with others. I also know that a dash cam video camera can help you with that task.

I remember how many years ago while driving in my car somebody hit my vehicle and caused an accident that way. I was convinced that I wasn’t to blame for the whole situation, but the lack of witnesses made the whole situation a lot more difficult for me. When I look at all of this right now I wish I have had a dash camera somewhere on my vehicle. This would definitely have helped a lot as I would have had more proof that I wasn’t the one to blame for the accident. Fortunately for me, I was compensated, but things would have been a lot easier if only I had some sort of help to prove my innocence in the case.

I started this post saying that it is fun to be able to drive and record videos of places you happen to visit. Once I was driving along a beautiful and absolutely spectacular shoreline that was breathtaking. It would have been great to have a dash cam to help me to capture the uniqueness and outstanding beauty of it. Of course, it was many years ago so nobody even had a dash cam at their disposal, but if I was to drive to a place like this again I would certainly take a cam like this with me this time. There are simply places the beauty of which you need to share with others or you won’t be able to live with yourself. I am sure that there are many people out there who would like to know where you are and what you do. You can make sure that they are always up to speed by having a dash cam attached to your vehicle.

Radio controlled vehicles can be just as intricate as their full-sized counterparts. Motors, bearings, transmissions and more can break down within the RC vehicle rendering it unusable. When this happens, you need to purchase repair parts. However, many of these require you to assemble yourself prior to installing. For instance, purchasing a transmission for your Traxxas could have you spending a great deal of time assembling the part before you actually install it into the vehicle. This is where kits begin to make a difference.

Cost Effective

Instead of buying a single rear drive shaft for a Traxxas Slash Ultimate, you could buy a set that has everything you’ll need for the entire assembly. This means you could replace the entire driveline with brand new parts or save them for future damages. Because you can buy the complete set, you can get them at a lower cost per part than you would otherwise.

Spare Parts On Hand

Using the earlier example, you don’t have to use the entire set for a single rear drive shaft replacement. If the nuts, washers and screw pins are still in good condition, then the set will give you a surplus of replacement parts for when these do break down. This means you won’t have to spend time waiting on shipping or looking for specific single pieces such as these.

Return to Like-New Condition

Many people will buy these kits in order to replace the entire assembly with brand new parts. This means that the parts that are being replaced will make that aspect of the vehicle operate in like-new condition. There will be less chance of failure during play or competition.

Keeping Repairs Uniform

When replacing more than one connection or part, uniform design is required for efficient repairs. If you need two suspension arms and purchase each one individually, you run the risk of variable measurements in manufacturing. Kits usually use the same molds and manufacturing processes making each part perfectly measured and aligned with the other.

Logically grouped Traxxas parts can save you a great deal of time and money by supplying you with the very objects you need in order to get the vehicle back into use. By purchasing sets such as these, you ensure that the entire assembly will continue to function for longer periods of time. Don’t underestimate the value of having extra repair and replacement parts for future damages.
