Of course, the zombies you&#039;re thinking of are probably more of the flesh-eating, decaying monster type than the ones with four wheels. That&#039;s because not many are aware of zombie cars &#8211; but you should be, as these vehicles are more common than you may think.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#039;s a zombie car?&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\nA zombie car is any vehicle that has been discontinued as a brand. Although new versions of these models may not be hitting the streets, plenty of older ones are still present. In fact, Experian Automotive found that nearly 6 percent of the almost 250 million cars on the road today qualify as zombie cars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Among these vehicles, the most popular is Pontiacs, which make up more than 32 percent of the zombie car population. That easily outpaced second-place Mercurys, which comprised 19.4 percent, and the third-place Saturns, which came in at 16.1 percent, according to Experian. Also making a mark was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Oldsmobile\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">Oldsmobile<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Suzuki\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">Suzuki<\/a>, although those numbers are a bit lower.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The plague hits New York<\/strong><br \/>\nOf all of the cities in the U.S., New York was one of the most popular for zombie cars. Approximately 3 percent of all vehicles in the city&#039;s metro area fall into the zombie category, which is second only behind Chicago&#039;s 3.4 percent. It also makes New York narrowly ahead of Detroit, Los Angeles and Minneapolis, which all range from 2.7 to 2.4 percent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upgrading your zombie<\/strong><br \/>\nAre you driving a zombie vehicle, or one that&#039;s close enough to make no matter? Then you may be in the mood to upgrade. Regardless of what brand you&#039;re thinking of switching to, the selection at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">New Jersey State Auto Auction<\/a> may have what you&#039;re looking for. The lot contains hundreds of Carfax-certified cars, trucks and vans, as well as an in-house financing department that&#039;s dedicated to helping you get the ride you want.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you drive a zombie car and love it. If that&#039;s the case, never fear, as the right vehicle maintenance can keep your vehicle running for many more full moons. Schedule an appointment at the Total Car Care Center if you&#039;re concerned about your ride&#039;s performance, as the garage can address any issues you may have.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all of the cities in the U.S., New York is one of the most popular for zombie
