When it comes to choosing a car you have a variety of finance options to help you afford luxury cars without needing to put a huge deposit down. The Audi and Jaguar branded cars are typically in the higher end of the marketplace and new models will normally see your wallet reduce by at-least £20,000 or even more (in some cases, some of the higher end models can go up to £40,000 – Audi R8 fetches over £70,000 brand new). The main question is however, which car brand to go for when it comes to buying the typical saloon car? Well it truly depends on what you’re looking to get out from your car. Speed? Comfort? Fuel Efficiency? The latter doesn’t really apply to these two examples because both cars...

The main issue with Electric Cars and the 21st Century
It comes at no surprise that Electric cars are currently facing problems with their ability to tie into daily 21st century lifestyle. Take the first electric car. The likes of Apple, which is seeing rumours shone around the web may not know much about pistons and gearboxes, but the big challenge for electric cars is batteries and their ability to last for a particularly long time. The fortunate thing is, is that battery-powered cars have many advantages: refuelling at home, cheap running costs and no tailpipe emissions to name a few but the market for pure electric vehicles is tiny and at the moment isn’t a area of the market that many manufacturers want to exist in (yet). Expensive batteries make for costly cars, especially when they are manufactured in...

Is it worth purchasing Road Side Assistance / Breakdown Recovery?
In the UK there are a vast amount of breakdown recovery companies operating nationwide. Some offer breakdown services for all vehicles, whilst others offer for only particular types, such as Lorries.

Should You Pay for an Extended Warranty?
An extended warranty acts a lot like insurance for items which you’ve recently bought. What separates an extended warranty from this definition is simply the time scale we’re talking about; typically one to two years. Cars are often sold with an extended warranty, which is good, as any mechanical problem which may arise from your car during this period could end up costing you a lot of money, but if you are prepared to use your warranty then you can hand the car back in and get your money back, providing the issue didn’t arise from extensive daily use. While this is a good idea, it can sometimes translate into additional costs. This will largely depend upon the type of car you’ve got. An extended warranty isn’t the only type...
