New vehicles
New car is many people's dream, and that is understandable, for there are lot of drivers who just can't imagine themselves driving an older car. For many a new, shinier car, though not long time investment, is absolutely necessary to fit their ambitious lifestyle and good career. This group of car buyers need good professional advice on buying a new car much more then the rest of the driving population, considering these days car market is so fast changing and competitive that if fact you have to choose between a good car and the best car. There are no truly bad cars on new var market anymore today, therefore deciding which new car model to choose can truly cause a long lasting headache.
Why buy used (second hand) car?
Normally an average used car is being sold couple of years after purchase from a new cars dealer, with rather moderate mileage and often very small extent of depreciation, especially if it is a certified pre-owned vehicle, i.e. vehicle checked and approved for resale by one of manufacturer programs. Depending on car model and the year of production saving can be more than substantial and should be examined and considered carefully in the conjunction with insurance costs to be added. Some first-hand cars are being sold by their original owners practically unused and in a perfect condition for up to half of the original price, and even better deals can be found with auctioned or re-possessed cars. We have known some very wealthy people who never in their life chose to buy a new car.
The main consideration for acquiring a repairable car, mini van, bus, truck or any other vehicle with no structural damage has to do with price and cost of ownership. It's just that simple to understand that a repairable vehicle normally comes with a discount that is very considerable, not to say impressive, even if you take into account the costs spare parts and repairs of a vehicle would involve. The customers buying repairable cars are individuals, skilled in car repairs, brokers, and repair shops.

Legal. According to the report presented before the US Congress by attorney John Van Alst, the author of the Fueling Fair Practices: A Road Map To Improved Public Policy For Used Car Sales And Financing, at a hearing held by the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection to discuss consumer protection in the used and subprime car market, the most usual car dealer abuses, include:
Offering used cars for sale in bad or even dangerous condition passing them for sound and reliable before the eyes of the car buyers;
Taking kickbacks from lenders to place families in higher interest loans than they actually qualify for;
Using deceptive and/or misleading sales practices. The buyer may drive off the lot with a newly purchased car only to be called back several days later and told financing could not be arranged for the original terms and the buyer is asked to sign up new papers at less beneficial terms;
Pushing some unnecessary services and add-on fees with the sole intention only to increase a car's price and, consequently, the dealer's profit;
Giving higher interest loans to minority customers compared to the rest of customers with the same credit worthiness;
Requiring long-term loans and excessive interest rates that ensure the car buyer will owe more than the vehicle is actually worth for years after the purchase.
We consult on these too.

Motor Trend names NISSAN GT-R 2009 car of the year™
The 2009 GT-R is the sixth generation of Nissan's flagship sports car. It is the first to come from a "clean slate" design -- all the others were based on Japanese-market Skyline models -- and the first to be globally marketed. A single technician in a climate controlled clean-room environment hand assembles the all-new VR38DETT 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6 as well as the GR6 six-speed twin-clutch transmission.
Other innovations include what Nissan calls the GT-R's "Independent Transaxle 4WD." In other words, the GT-R is the world's first production car to feature a rear-mounted transaxle and two independent propeller shafts, allowing each axle to control tire grip without manipulation of the other.
Nissan engineers paid careful attention to reducing friction losses in the GT-R, which means the car makes the most efficient use of its power, despite its all-wheel drive power train. As a result, the GT-R delivers 16mpg in the city and 21mpg on the highway, impressive for a car capable of a "cornea-melting" 0-60mph run of 3.3 seconds, and a top speed of over 190mph.
