Certified Pre-owned Vehicles: the Future for the Canadian Automotive Market?

Friday, December 4th, 2009

As the market continues to go into despair, your lease is coming due; what should you do? Leasing is now overpriced and financing is just too expensive. The obvious answer is to look for a less expensive alternative. Pre-owned vehicles will see their stocks rise over the next several years as the value has now become overly apparent. The most depreciation a vehicle succumbs to in terms of price, typically comes in the first year of the cars life. So, why has the majority of Canadian strained away from used vehicles and made leasing the popular choice? Simply, Canadians are apprehensive about buying for fear of buying someone else’s problems. There has been a stigma attached to the used vehicle, Canadians look at second hand vehicles in a way of inferior quality.

            Rather than taking the perceived risk on quality, Canadians leaned to leasing which offered the alternative, which was a new car fully warranted and guaranteed. Leasing a car at a new car price combined with the interest rates represents one of the poorest financial decisions one can make. Essentially, one is renting a vehicle and after 3-4 years has zero equity in it. Not to mention in 3-4 years the vehicle is typically not worth even close to cost associated with the buyback. Now, as leases are spiralling into a downfall Canadians must turn to yet another corner. Today, Canadians must begin to see the light; the used cars of today are not what they have been in the past. Over the past decade, the quality of vehicles have seen significant increases, which have led to used cars and used trucks lasting longer, looking better and driving newer. As used autos have become highly durable as their quality continues to increase. From an expense stand point a used auto is also the way to go. Buying a car that is two or three years old can allow some to save over 50% from its original manufacturer’s price. In addition one can purchase extended warranty to truly give people the feeling and comfort of buying a new vehicle. Furthermore, buying a used car will allow many to buy a vehicle that they could never have afforded new. Therefore some, who were thinking of buying an economy car, can now purchase a luxury car that is of a couple years old. The advantages are quite apparent and now with the advent of the Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle, Canadians may finally follow in the footsteps of Americans by making the pre owned vehicle the popular choice among the nation.

            Buying a certified preowned vehicle provides all the feeling and comfort of buying new, but at price that is much more affordable with respect to the particular vehicles’ sticker price. A certified pre-owned vehicle can only be purchased from a franchised dealer. TO become a certified pre owned vehicle, autos must be with in a certain age, mileage and meet a thorough inspection. If they meet these standards, the vehicle is then fully restored to new condition and sold with a manufacturers extended warranty. In addition most certified pre-owned vehicle programs offer roadside assistance, exchange or money back guarantees as well as vehicle history reports. All in all, a certified preowned vehicle gives you all of the comfort of a new car purchase, but at price Canadians can afford.

            One must only buy a car from a dealer licensed by a manufacturer since the requirements to be a true certified pre owned vehicles are stipulated by the manufacturers themselves. Anyone can “certify” or even guarantee a car or truck but a certified pre owned vehicle is thoroughly inspected and then restored to new condition.

            Certified pre-owned vehicle programs have already had a dramatic effect in the automotive market. There popularity should only continue to increase as franchised dealers continue to stress the value. The price difference of buying a car or truck that’s certified preowned vs. new couldn’t be more evident, in turn the minimal price increases of certified pre owned vehicles vs. used can only be perceived as worthwhile in terms of value. This why we believe that Canada will see a dramatic increase in certified preowned vehicle sales,  as dealers have worked to remove the apprehension from buying a second hand vehicle.

            Vehicle Gateway Corp., owners of vehiclegateway.com have released an online interface dedicated to providing quality used car, used trucks, used boats, used motorcycles, used snowmobiles, and used ATV’s. They believe that with the provision of information, buying a car will be less apprehensive and thus easier as well as more convenient. Empowering the buyer is what vehiclegateway.com is about; this will begin by ensuring all ads contain detailed information about the vehicles’ specifications, current condition and past history. This will not only empower the consumer, but in turn sellers of inferior vehicles will be hesitant to post their ads on the interface due to the fact that much of this information would scare off buyers. Furthermore, vehiclegateway.com specializes in certified pre-owned vehicles. An entire section of its website is dedicated to providing information about certified preowned vehicles as well as providing comprehensive searches for the latter. vehiclegateway.com is the best source in Canada to not only buy cars, but to find and search for Certified Pre Owned Vehicles.  This online vehicle marketplace also takes the form of a free classifieds.

Find The Right Location For Your Automotive Franchise

Friday, December 4th, 2009

You’re on the right path for a successful start running your own business. You know this because franchise businesses have a higher success rate than independently started business and you chose to open a franchise. Even though that is true, you will still have to make decisions as a business owner that will affect the successfulness of your franchises future! Once you have made the decision on which franchise you will start, you will need to decide where to open that franchise. This will not be the first or last time you will have heard this but, location is everything! Your automotive franchise should be location near car dealerships and high traffic streets or should be seen from a major highway to increase your chances of success!

Choosing where to open your franchise will still be a creative process! You want your business to be in the best location that it will thrive the best in. There are a few other things to consider in this decision.

The first thing you should do is ask your franchisor for advice. The reason that franchises are successful is because they are already maintaining several locations with successful procedures in place. So they should be able to assist with ideas for where to open your franchise since they have most likely already opened a few. However it is your business and you will want to consider other factors as well. Keep in mind that they may have regulation for your franchising location that you will need to adhere to as well.

One thing to consider is the locations visibility. If you can’t see the business from the road how will they even know that it is there. If the view to your location is obstructed by trees, other buildings or is in a bad angle from the road in a plaza this can decrease your sales since people may simply not know you are there.

Accessibility is another factor to take into consideration .How easy will it be for customers to get to your door? Things to look at are traffic flows and lights. You would like to be in a busy place since more people will become familiar with your business however if there are no traffic lights to help people get to and from your business they may be discouraged from even going in the first place.

Chances are you are going to be located near other businesses. You should use your creative thought process to choose a location that is near Businesses that could possible bring you more business. For example, you could open an auto body shop near an insurance Office. If you could establish a good reputation with the insurance company they could recommend that their customers chose you to handle their car’s problems.
A little competition is good, but be careful. You will need to know what you are going up against. If you so chose to open a pizza shop across from another pizzeria that has been there for years and the town claims it as the #1 restaurant in the area, it might be a little too much to compete with.

Make sure the area is favorable to what you are trying to sell or do. If there is no need for your business it will not succeed.

Choosing where to establish your franchise will be a big decision and will take much thought, but remember these practical guidelines and do your research before you make your final decision!

Australian Automotive Industry Right for Chinese Oem’s

Friday, December 4th, 2009

The Australian Auto Market was steady for 2006 and continued its strong run of 10 years by achieving its second best year on record. A stable Government, strong economy and a general feeling of wealth all contributed to the strong sales result.

Looking at the numbers closely and we start to see some changes that occurred in several market segments as the impact from the fuel crisis took its toll on the more fuel inefficient large passenger vehicles and raised the sales volume of smaller cars.

Domestic sales volume now makes up about 20% of all sales and will possibly diminish more as the consumers buy more imported fuel efficient cars and turn away from the Australian Designed ‘Family cars’.

Much development effort over the past several years has gone into producing high performance vehicles that handle to ‘European standards’ to attract the fast money. Cars that today are less relevant than a few years ago as fuel prices bite the boy racers wallet. This has possibly been at the expense of developing a locally built diesel engine. It is hard to believe that Ford or GMH have not seen fit to offer a diesel alternative to their line up of petrol engines. Once again they are caught flat footed as the market changes are moving away from their offer.

Future risks are the actual break even point for annual production. Common knowledge suggests that an OEM needs to produce 60,000 vehicles of one model per annum to make money. Certainly Mitsubishi are a long way from that target. Without an export strategy how can the South Australian Government sensibly call for assistance from the Federal Government by getting them to delay the lowering of the import duty?

The lowering of import duties combined with the strong dollar will increase the availability of leading edge imported products. Add to this the desire for fuel efficient and high performance diesel engines from the higher quality diesel fuel and the local OEM’s are likely to suffer more. We see that the Automotive retail landscape will continue to evolve with the consumers being the winners.

Perhaps the argument for a lowering of the National fuel consumption will take on more weight due to environmental concerns than protecting a few thousand jobs. Sounds like a problem for environmental evangelists like Peter Garrett.

The opportunity for Chinese OEM’s to enter the market is clear. Their investment needed to meet or exceed the emission standards is the same as their European export push. The only road block is their ability to produce a right hand drive vehicle and several have already built these vehicles.

Automotive Fuses & Replacements

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Automotive Fuses Use & Replacements

While you dry your vehicle regularly, you are quite familiar with the term ‘Fuse’. As the name suggests, this is a key part of your car or automobiles Electronics system. A fuse is typically a small piece of equipment that is associated with the electronics system and is placed to blow out or fuse when something in the system goes wrong. This part is designed in such a way that it does not create a crisis when it blows out or fuses but will make something on the automobile no longer working. Although the part of your automobile to quit working will be relatively minor, like for instance, it can be the turn indicators, the radio, or even the interior lights. Whatever the condition, if a fuse blows, the device in question will no longer function.

If ever, you encounter, any malfunction in your vehicle the fuse is the first place to check. For most of us, locating the fuse box in the vehicle might be relatively easy, whereas, still some may have problem locating the error might be difficult. However, correcting the problem is relatively easy and you will get a feeling of satisfaction knowing you were able to troubleshoot on your own. We will certainly help to brush you up for the task in hand. Lets start with the automobile fuses. Generally, there are two type of fuses found in most of the automobiles. The first type of the fuse is a glass, cylinder-shaped with stainless steel on the ends and glass in the middle. The other type is a plastic housing with the fusible link encased in the housing. The fuse box is generally located behind a cover, under the dashboard, or below the steering wheel.

For checking the fuse by yourself you will need to take help from the user manual that accompanies your vehicle. The vehicles manual will help you to identify and position the fuse box a guide on how to access it. Check the cover, with most of the vehicles you can remove with your hand and with the rest follow what the user manual suggests. Once you find the fuse box carefully go through the owners manual to locate the exact fuse number, which might not be functional. For instance, if the turn indicators are not working find the fuse for it through the numerical chart.

When you are able to locate the exact fuse for the task, remove it as suggested in the owner’s manual. With most of the vehicles you can remove it with your hands. Take out the particular fuse and determine if it’s blown. If the metal coil inside the fuse is separated, the fuse is blown and no longer working and will need replacement. While you look for the replacement of the fuse, look exactly for the amperage rating as the blown fuse. Using a fuse with different amperage rating may risk either blowing the fuse again, or damaging the equipment the fuse is designed to protect. Once you lay your hands on the exact replacement, you can easily replace it back into the slot given. So identifying and replacing a blown fuse is relatively easy and can be done at home.

The Popularity of Online Automotive Ads

Friday, December 4th, 2009

As the Automotive industry continues to struggle in a poor economy, manufacturers’ and dealers’ have made significant cuts to their Advertising budgets. These companies who were once upon a time some of North America’s leaders in terms of Marketing expenditures, are now looking to reduce this high expense in search of lower cost means that can produce similar returns on investment. In addition today’s new car sales have become so poor that a greater emphasis has been placed on their pre-owned inventory. Used cars and used trucks today offer many of the advantages of buying new and are a much more affordable option. For consumers trying to buy a used car or used truck the difficulty comes in finding one that meets their specific needs. Unlike a new car purchase, with a used car you can’t pick colour, interior, kms, engine size or options. These specifications could only have been made when the vehicle in question was being purchased new. Therefore, people looking to buy a car typically just won’t go to one dealership, instead they want to comparison shop and the most popular means of buying a used vehicle has been through using online automotive marketplace’s as well as free classified sites. These online methods allow buyers to search and or browse through thousands of ads in search of the used car, truck, motorcycle, boat, snowmobile, ATV or collector car that’s right for them.

           

            Today with the rise of the pre owned vehicle, more Canadian then ever before will search province or even nation wide for the used vehicle that’s right for them. It will be imperative for car dealers and boat dealers to have a presence on each and every popular online interface. As more consumers then ever before will search online for used cars in Canada, it will be imperative from a marketing stand point that a dealers’ inventory is seen by the masses. Online automotive marketplaces offer a low cost, high return means of advertising. Dealers can’t afford to miss out on a potential client to another dealership who is advertising the same vehicle. Comparison shopping is here to stay and it will critical that dealers make their inventory available on a variety of websites.

           

            One site that seems to becoming quite popular is vehiclegateway.com, which is owned by Vehicle Gateway Corp.

The first thing to do is put together a list of automotive tools that you will probably need. (I have included one in this article.) You will be surprised to find that you own many of them already.

Ditch The Cell Phone And Lower Automotive Insurance Rates – It Will Save You Money

Friday, December 4th, 2009

In today’s world, you can look just about anywhere and see at least one person talking on a cell phone; sadly, the road is no exception. More and more drivers are taking to the roads with cell phones to their ears; as a result these drivers are causing a greater risk for automobile accidents. Of course, we all know the consequence of increased automobile accidents – increased automotive insurance.

Despite the statistics conveying the relationship between drivers using cell phones and a percentage of automobile accidents, many drivers continue to chat while driving, and many of those drivers will be involved with another driver who is using a cell phone will driving. When you’re involved in an automotive accident, regardless of the cause, your automotive insurance rates usually increase. If you are at fault and it’s determined you were using a cell phone at the time of the accident? Let’s just say your Automotive insurance company won’t be happy.

If you are one of the drivers who likes to gossip using your cell phone while driving, stop. Nothing is so important that you must risk your life, and the lives of others, in order to tell your best friend, your significant other, or your sister or brother. Even if you’re a parent and, while on your way home from work, remember you must tell your spouse to pick up the kids from school – pull over.

If you are a parent with teens who are driving, or almost ready to drive, instill the responsible habit of not using a cell phone while driving. They are even less experienced drivers than their elders, and don’t need the extra distraction.

Remember, practicing the safe driving habit of not using a cell phone will driving will not only help you lower, or keep low, your automotive insurance rates, but it will also help you keep yourself, and others, from being seriously injured and even killed.

Why are Automotive Blogs so Popular?

Friday, December 4th, 2009

The huge leap the technology has experienced in recent years has brought virtually the entire world only one click away from us. More and more consumers have Internet access in their own homes, which makes it all the more convenient. Those who still don’t have an Internet connection at home, can surf the net at work, for instance. The bottom line is that more and more people all over the world contribute to the popularity and usefulness of the wonder of the twentieth century, the Internet.

An even more recent invention is the blog, and its novelty is the possibility on the reader’s part to go beyond reading and make his/her personal comments. The range of subjects followed by blogs is very wide as blogs are user generated, and almost anyone can have their own blog. The interest in blogs goes as far as trying to figure out why people want to have blogs.

Car blogs are very popular because there are many car enthusiasts out there who want to find information that’s relevant to their needs. It’s like pursuing a hobby and it makes a lot of sense. If cars are your undying hobby, where would you want to be if not on a car blog, where everything is about cars at any time.

An Automotive blog is usually structured in such a way that the user will be able to choose the type of information easily. If your looking for specific information, or if you’re just scouting to see what’s the latest news, it’s all there on your automotive blog. Just to give you some idea as to what extent the variety of information on an automotive blog can go, let us tell you this much. If you want to purchase a new car, or change your old car for a newer one, a car blog will most definitely present you the newest car models to suit all tastes and financial possibilities. And they don’t just come with pictures, but with all technical details, and even possible flaws that producers conveniently omit. If you want to find out about alternative fuels, for instance, as more and more drivers are concerned with fuel efficiency, all the information you need is right there, on the car blog. Every driver’s main concern should be the maintenance of his/her car and a car blog will tell you all you need to know about keeping your car in excellent shape. Your driver experience can be compared to unbiased auto testing provided by an automotive blog. You also have access to opinions of people just like yourself, and you can help other people make wise decisions by sharing your opinion. These are just some of the reasons that make a car blog so popular.

But how is car blog popularity determined? Permalinks are those that boost the popularity of a car blog, as they show that people are actually reading the content of that particular blog. Thus, the content is deemed as noteworthy or valuable. There are also blogrolls which come from affiliation to a particular car blog, but they are not as indicative of the car blog popularity as permalinks are.

Changes Coming to the Canadian Automotive Market

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Changes Coming to the Canadian Automotive Market

The Canadian vehicle market has taken on an identity of its own over the last 15 years. Unlike their American counterparts, Canadians typically took the avenue of finding a new vehicle as appose to buying previously owned. This was by far most apparent in the Automotive sector where 3 out of every 4 cars sold were considered “New.” However, today brings uncertain times with a declining and uncertain economy every industry has felt the effects.

            The Canadian Automotive sector is seeing quite the transformation in that the popular leases of the past are being phased out by franchised dealers in favour of financing. GMAC Club and Chrysler Financial have discontinued leases throughout North America. Ford Motor Credit hasn’t exactly taken the same approach; they have instead increased their lease rates to the point that no one could even afford them. We must ask ourselves why? For starters, dealerships have seen too many lease terminations due to missed payments and in turn have now become stuck with an abundance of unexpected off lease vehicles in their inventory. Even more pressing is the difficulty that dealerships are having in trying to sell any cars in these scarce economic times. Furthermore, from a funding standpoint, money isn’t as readily available due to the deteriorating credit of the Finance arms and their parent automakers.  This has made for a very difficult situation in the automotive sector and has instantly transformed the Canadian automotive market. In the U.S.A. one out of every four cars sold is used, Canadians should begin to anticipate similar sales ratios.

Research into the Canadian consumer has provided some interesting findings:

  • Canadian consumers tend to be more risk averse than their counterparts in other markets.
  • They are also more cost-conscious, with monthly payments a major driving factor behind purchase decisions.
  • They tend to keep vehicles longer than in the United States, resulting in a less active used vehicle market.

The economy has initiated a dramatic, yet necessary change. Canadians will no longer be able to afford monthly payments and as leases conclude over the next 3 years an abundance of consumers will have to turn to the used vehicle market to find a vehicle they can readily afford.

Consumers now more than ever are shopping online for previously owned vehicles. Selection has been key to shopping in the past; however today new services exist the help buyers find the vehicle that promises to be right for them. The market, which was dominated by the Auto Trader brand has taken on new life with a company dedicated to finding potential buyers quality used vehicles. Using the provision of information, Vehicle Gateway Corp. has launched vehiclegateway.com to introduce an interface that meets the needs and wants of today’s consumers. Vehicle Gateway has been designed around the provision of information; private sellers’ and dealers’ will now have to include Vehicle Identification Numbers, Certification status, full descriptions, condition reports, multiple photos, video’s allowing buyers to hear vehicles operate as well as provide accident history and include reasons for selling the vehicle. This abundance of information will allow users to decipher through an abundance of ads to find the vehicle that not only meets their needs in terms of type, make, model or year, instead buyers can now go beyond this in finding the vehicle that’s past and present meets up to their respective standards.

In turn, vehiclegateway.com anticipates weeding out those vehicles of inferiority, sellers’ will become nervous to advertise with Vehiclegateway.com for fear that the information provided would counteract the sale of their vehicle(s).  Now inexperienced buyers will not only know the questions to ask, but answers will already be provided. This ultimately empowers the consumer and therefore makes for a more honest and less apprehensive buying process. In addition to the information provided, tools such as CarFax’s Vehicle History reports provide full disclosure for prospective buyers and ultimately will live consumers with greater piece of mind when it comes down to the sale. In America, Vehicle History Reports are said to be in over 75% of pre-owned vehicles transactions. With even an even more risk averse nation combined with the anticipated growth of the secondary vehicle market, Vehicle Gateway Corp. believes that tomorrow’s transaction will likely include the use of vehicle history reports. Vehicle Gateway truly provides “Information you need. Vehicles you want.”

vehiclegateway.com promises to be in the buyer’s corner to ensure a quality used vehicle purchase. Buying a lemon is something nobody should ever have to experience, vehiclegateway.com hope to help you avoid buying a lemon when purchasing a used car, used truck, used boat, used pwc, used motorcycle, used snowmobile, used 4 wheelers or classics cars.
