The Best Car Finance Blog In The World

A constant problem when customers take out a lease agreement is insurance. You have to cover your car with fully comprehensive insurance. If other drivers will drive the vehicle they must also be covered by the policy and if the vehicle is used for business this must be covered also. The problem is where to go. I still find it amazing that I have Read more »

My car review of the week is a bit of a supercar. It’s  Fiat but not just any Fiat it’s the Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale. It’s difficult to think that Maserati and Ferrari are both owned by Fiat but they are, in the case of Maserati since 1993. This beast of a car has a grill that looks like a shark’s mouth full of teeth ready to devour anything that gets Read more »

Car manufacturers love to confuse us poor customers. Just as we had firmly fixed in our minds the colour green as being representative of  anything that was environmentally friendly, not only in the UK but around the world, they decided that blue would be the new green (was this a careful ploy on the part of the Conservative party I ask myself).

The motor industry gets a bad press when it comes to the way it treats customers but I feel certain that the vast majority of car dealers act honourably and fairly. However, treating customers fairly doesn’t make for good headlines so I tend to only read the stories about the atrocious behaviour of just a few dealers when the customer, normally a Read more »

I have to say when I read this it made me smile. I heard that the land speed record breaker, Malcolm Campbell’s great grandson, Don Wales set out to break his own record of 137 mph in an electric car set by him in 2000. The car he was to drive was named similarly to Campbell’s Bluebird and was put to the test on the Pendine Sands in Carmarthernshire Read more »

The Graham Hill car review of the week is a very strange choice. In the 25+ years I’ve been a broker you could count the number of these vehicles I’ve supplied on one hand and yet it epitomises the manufacturer. It’s the original 4WD and still a popular choice with farmers who are more likely to be driving across their fields in one than swanning up the Read more »

So where can you buy the cheapest fuel in the UK? Nope I’m not going to refer you to a website just set your sat nav for the nearest Asda according to a recent survey carried out by the AA. A recent price war between the major supermarkets saw prices drop by up to 4 pence per litre. Following the price war Asda decided to set a national rate for Read more »

With many 0% finance deals about, following the new registration launch, it is important to take note of the advice that I have given in my books and previous blog posts. That is to negotiate a deal on the car on which 0% finance is being offered as though you are a cash buyer. Get some extra discount on the car, a full fuel tank and maybe a few extras Read more »

My gadget of the week is a mouse. No, not a squeaky furry thing with a long tail but a computer mouse. What’s so special about it? It’s in the shape of a car. Now whilst this may sound a bit dopey the cars are scale models of well known cars such as the Mercedes SL Gullwing, Mini Cooper, Range Rover Evoque and even a Maserati Gran Turismo. Read more »

Is health and safety about to move to a new level or am I just being very cynical? If you, or a member of staff, has a car accident, whilst on company business, we now know (especially those that read my newsletter/blog) that much of the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the employer. The car has to be properly insured and maintained, irrespective Read more »
