What to Consider When Buying A Vehicle

shutterstock_420256999

There are many factors to consider when purchasing a car, truck or SUV. Among the most important to consider are your budget, the size and type of vehicle that fits your needs, and various comfort and safety features.  Since the average car loan for a new or used vehicle could require payments for five years, it’s important to make the right choice.  It’s also important that any upcoming life changes be compatible with a vehicle you’ll likely have long after you’ve repaid the loan.

 

The most important question to ask is this: is it in your budget?  A used vehicle will likely fit more comfortably in your budget than an expensive new one. In addition to your initial investment of a down payment plus monthly payments, it’s important to consider the cost of regular maintenance. Ask our New Jersey State Auto Auction sales team or local parts store to help you do the research to determine the cost of regular maintenance for your new vehicle.  Trucks with a diesel engine cost more to maintain than a standard passenger car, so it’s important to know the differences before committing to a five year loan.

 

Does the vehicle fit your family?  While a sleek body and extra horsepower can be appealing, if you have small children you know convenience is the most important factor in a family vehicle.  A sedan, SUV or minivan are  comfortable and convenient choices for a growing family.  If you’re concerned about gas mileage, consider a small or crossover SUV.

The Emergence of Formula E Racing

formula E 1

For the most part, when it comes to motorsports across the world, it is generally gas guzzling vehicles that seem to come to mind. Whenever there is a motorsports angle on anything, there is always an environmental angle to be considered. It is always seen as a problem when it comes to sustainable growth and development of the world. The most prominent sport in the motorsports space is the renowned Formula 1. Additionally, there are various other races like Formula 2 and Formula 3. These are essentially the same races with different norms and rules, and also different engine sizes and segments.

The new rage, however, is Formula E. It is basically something that has evolved after due importance given to the environmental issue that has been looming over the world and many global issues for a long time. Formula E has also evolved in motorsports competitions to display to the world the alternative and equally efficient forms of energy that exist to power vehicles at high speeds for motorsports enthusiasts. The ‘E’ in Formula E stands for electric, which basically means that all the competing vehicles are electrically powered and do not have any carbon footprint.

The move to create an alternative energy platform for motorsports by the FIA was hailed by environmental agencies across the world. To buy a used vehicle that is also environmentally friendly, visit the New Jersey State Auto Auction today.

Why Brakes Need Oil

The brakes of a used vehicle are arguably one of the most important and vital components of the safety and security of any vehicle, which translates to the safety and security of you and your family. Always keep in mind that no matter the power of the vehicle, the brakes must be kept well and in regular maintenance at any cost and under any circumstance. The brakes are essential to keep in check, and need a regular oil and brake fluid check. Brake oil fluid is imperative for the brakes to last for a longer duration of time, and to function well.

The brake oil ensures that the constant friction of the brakes do not inundate the brakes through constant use. The brakes are one of the only parts of the vehicle that are subject to such intense friction. The constant use of brakes is obvious to cause friction, which in turn obviously causes a lot of heat between the brake pad and the brake disc. Any additional friction would wear out the brake components rendering it useless. However, the brake oil regulates the temperature and life of the brake parts and ensures that all the brake parts are cooled down before it burns out and is useless.

The use of brake oil also ensures that the brakes remain smooth and do not turn jagged through overuse. To know when the brakes of your used car need oil, visit New Jersey State Auto Auction today.

The steering fluid is a vital part of steering and handling maintenance of a used vehicle. It is extremely important to have a good upkeep of your steering liquid in order to avoid any steering jam or rusty functioning. The steering liquid is crucial as it is imperative to ensure the safety of you and your family while driving. The steering liquid is one of the most important checks to be made amongst others while servicing your vehicle. There are some evident signs to lookout for while checking and changing your steering fluid.

The dipstick

Once you have located the reservoir cylinder under the bonnet of your vehicle, you must use a dipstick in order to check the levels and color of the steering fluid in the reservoir cylinder. Typically, dipsticks would be part of your car purchase, or else it is easily available at any automobile store. Once you have the dipstick, dip it into the cylinder and check the level of steering fluid. Always subscribe to the levels suggested in the owner’s manual. Once you are done with the level, check the color of the fluid. If it is too dark, change the liquid and fill in a new batch which should be a dark amber color.

Funnel it

Use a funnel to add fresh steering fluid according to the recommendations in the owner’s manual.
