Winter Warmer

October 24th, 2008

As winter fast approaches, the clocks go ominously backwards and temperatures drop, many motorists will start to wonder whether their car will make it through another winter. So what better time to think about upgrading to something more reliable - a new car perhaps? Buy a new car online has just gone through a major pricing update and you will find more bargains than ever with discount levels at there highest for years. But we wouldn’t just want to save you money on your car, motoring is an economy game in itself. Here we like to save money on everything motoring related. So whether it’s a new sat nav system that takes your fancy or just saving a few pounds at the pumps, you will find everything you need right here. Why not check out our new petrol pump guide? Just pop in your postcode and you will be presented with the cheapest fuel prices in your area. Told you we were here to save you money! Not enough? Then check out our unique money saving tips below for those cold winter day start ups:

Winter can be a difficult time for car owners. Winter does it’s best to wreak havoc on your fuel economy. You may be an unwitting ally in hurting your fuel economy. How your car warms up in cold weather could burn a hole in your pocket.

Get out of the habit of letting your car warm up when you start it. Old cars may have needed some warm up time, today’s cars most certainly don’t.

When you idle your car to warm it up you are burning fuel but not going anywhere. When you let that happen you are essentially getting a big fat zero miles per gallon!

Warm your car up by driving it. To operate efficiently your car needs to warm up other parts in addition to the engine. Tyres, transmission, wheel bearings and other moving parts also need to warm up. Your car’s catalytic converter doesn’t function at its peak until it reaches between 400°C and 800°C. The only way these other parts warm up is by driving. The reality is, to warm your car up completely you have to drive it anyway.

To save fuel and increase fuel economy in the winter, one of the simplest things you can do is warm your car by driving it, not by idling. Not only will it save you fuel and money but you will also be doing something positive for the environment.

Additionally, don’t put the heaters on full blast when you first get in the car - the engine isn’t hot so therefore the inside of the car won’t get hot. Instead drive the car for a few minutes until the temperature gauge rises and then put the heaters on.

More Tips to save you money no matter the weather:

  • Go slow on a cold engine - A cold engine can use twice as much fuel as a warm engine, and can take 6 miles of driving to become effective. Either avoid short journeys completely or drive efficiently until the engine has warmed up.
  • Avoid high speeds - the average car consumes 38% more fuel at 70pmh than it does at 50mph. Avoiding high speeds on motorways can save a lot of petrol. Around 50% of the power produced by the engine is used to overcome aerodynamic drag, drag increases rapidly above 70mph so you fuel consumption will suffer.
  • Smooth acceleration - Acceleration and deceleration is what uses the most fuel. You will inevitably improve your fuel consumption with smooth driving, heavy braking can be reduced by not following the car in front too closely and slowing down gradually when coming up to a red light. Also avoid heavy acceleration from the lights and try not to rev too much. If possible only rev to 2500 rpm through all gears, the savings will be huge!
  • Get those windows closed - If you are driving fast then don’t have your windows open unless completely necessary. Having the windows open when driving at over 50mph causes significant drag which increases fuel consumption, even at lower speeds it may affect your consumption. Close your window and put the fans on!

That’s enough tips for now but keep checking back for more money saving motoring tips.

Beating the Credit Crunch - Should you buy a new car or used?

October 13th, 2008

Adapted from Mark Wilson, This is Money
23 August 2008

With brand new vehicles losing up to 20% of their value the moment they’re driven away, could buying ‘used’ cars the smartest option?

Here are a few points to consider when buying a new car:

Why do people like new cars?

You get the choice of choosing to build the car exactly how you want it, and you can boast about having the latest registration plate and style.

Will a new car save you money?

You’ll get a full warranty and unlike used cars, shouldn’t have to worry about reliability. Essential car parts like brakes, tires and batteries shouldn’t need replacing for a long time.

You won’t have to worry about MOT checks for the first three years of ownership.

You may also get ‘lemon law’ protection, entitling to a brand new car or at least a full refund if your car turns out to be defective - a ‘lemon’.

Another perk might be a roadside assistance program. Packages will last at least one year and some will extend to the life of the manufacturer’s warramty. Roadside assistance packages may also provide you with a temporary vehicle if your car is being repaired.

How new cars lose you money

The number one disadvantage is that the value of your new car will only fall from the moment you leave the dealership. Depreciation is the single biggest killer of buyers’ finance and it only becomes fully apparent when it’s time to sell. There is now an increasing trend towards more cost effective new car purchasing options. Buying online and effectively cutting out the dealer can save thousands off the UK retail price.

Buyers purchasing their new car with a credit, or finance, agreement have the option of GAP (guaranteed asset protection) insurance. This pays you the difference between what you owe on the vehicle and what an insurance company says its worth in the event of it being stolen or totalled.

Buy a New Car Online are pleased to announce they can now provide Return To Invoice GAP insurance for a fraction of the price that a main stream UK dealer will charge. Our price is just £249 for a full 3 years cover, find out more at www.buyanewcaronline.co.uk/insurance so should the worse happen within the 1st 3 years of ownership, then you will have the peace of mind that you will be able to replace your car new for old.

The best and the worst cars in depreciation

A study in 2007 carried out by Parker’s Car Guides found the Mini Cooper, costing from £12,000, to be the car with the slowest depreciation rate. Parker’s says the Mini hangs on to its value so well because of its looks, driveability and servicing deals. The car lost £1,388 in a year, which works out at a loss of £27 a week only.

Other top performers financially are the Citroen C1, the Suzuki Swift hatchback, the Peugeot 107 and the Toyota Aygo. These are all small cars and reflects the trend towards demand for more efficient vehicles.

The Parker’s report found that sports and luxury brands were the worst cars for losing value, with the Mercedes Benz SL Class losing £35,642 of value in one year. Other bad performers financially included the BMW 6 and 7 series, plus the Audi A8.

As a rule, cars with good reliability (most reliable cars: 2008 | 2007 hold value better than those that are less so, as do those that are cheap to run (Parker’s Top Ten cheapest cars to run).

Recent car tax changes, which penalise gas guzzlers, has heavily impacted on the second-hand values of 4×4s and people carriers.

New Audi A1 Sportback - Pre Paris Motor Show

October 7th, 2008

I think we can all agree that the new Audi A1 Sportback looks like a formidably beautiful beast of a car. But Audi claim that it is as much beast as environmentally sound alternative for today’s conscious car buyer.

Whilst it is still only a concept car, Audi have a good track record of following through with their new concepts as with the R8, and with a gap in the new car market with the discontinued A2, now seems to be the perfect time to launch a new car.

The A1 boasts a 1.4-litre TSI engine developing 150bhp with the help of a turbo, supercharger and twin-clutch S tronic gearbox, the A1 is an enviable new car. However, at a claimed 92g/km CO2 (thanks to the new mild hybrid powertrain), our environmentally forward thinking friends are likely to be very jealous indeed.

Thanks Audi yet again for surpassing our expectations when it comes to producing brand new environmental cars.
