			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Owning a Corvette and driving it around is something that many people aspire to and the older models especially are very much seen as vintage cars and something that is almost a collector’s item for many people. That being said, the new models are highly sought after as well however the <a href="http://www.corvettemods.com ">Corvette C3</a> range that came into the market as far back ago as the mid 1960’s is still considered by many to be the ultimate Corvette vehicle and as such there are many places that offer modifications and upgrades to the standard interior and also exterior as well.</p>
<p>For example, why not upgrade the inside of your car somewhat? It is all very well have the old style look about it however that shouldn’t take away from the comfort of the vehicle and some of the new seats that are specially designed for the Corvette range and in particular the c3 cars add a modern and sleek look. Another iconic feature of the Corvette cars is the door stills. Whenever a door was open in these vehicles many people basked in the shiny, reflective nature of these stainless steel stills and you can easily buy replacements or modern designed ones to suit your Corvette as well.</p>
<p>Indeed, it isn’t just about making it look good it is also about looking after the car as well and you will know just how much of a toll leaving any vehicle never mind a sports car out in the tough weather conditions can do over time. That is why accessories such as weather protectors can be a great addition to your Corvette apparel and this will ensure that whatever weather decides to come your way the vehicle will not be exposed to, and harmed by it, for any extended period of time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The General Motors Company made an unprecedented move by offering free auto insurance to customers in two states. Of course, it is too early to see if GM will expand the incentive nationwide. One of the main deterrents that new car shoppers face is the high costs associated with insuring new vehicles. Most states and finance companies require comprehensive coverage, which is why GM has targeted two states in particular – Washington and Oregon. These two states only require motorists to carry liability and physical damages policies on their vehicles, which will make it cheaper for GM to offer coverage to these consumers. </p>
<p>Participants will need to meet several criteria. First, they will need to be residents of either Oregon or Washington states. They will also need to purchase a new GMC, Cadillac, Chevrolet, or Buick that was manufactured between 2010 and 2012. Customers will need to agree to be covered by the MetLife insurance company, and they will also need to possess a valid license. There&#8217;s a lot of stipulations, but what other auto manufacturer is offering free car insurance to any of its customers? </p>
<p>The offer is only valid until September 6th of this year, but if GM profits substantially increase, there is a good chance that they will run the same promotion again in the future on a national level. Consumers that are looking to purchase a new vehicle in the Washington or Oregon just might want to check out the new models available on the showrooms of GM authorized dealers. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes finding the right limousine service can be difficult, especially if you don&#8217;t know exactly what you have in mind. There&#8217;s nothing worse than reserving a limo that has been advertised as being clean, new and luxurious and ending up with an outdated car that barely runs. You can avoid this problem by doing your research and finding a limousine service that stands behind its promises. </p>
<p>Exceptional limousine services are staffed by courteous drivers that always show up to their appointments on time. If you have specific questions, you can expect to get prompt answers. Remember that you are not just renting a limousine for a specific period of time, you are purchasing a service. Check out the various <a href="http://www.exceptionallimo.ca">Toronto limousine</a> companies in operation so that you will be able to get the limo that you need at the price that you want. </p>
<p>Usually, when larger parties rent limos they end up splitting the costs evenly. If you plan on taking out a limo so that you and your spouse can enjoy a night out by yourselves, you should consider renting a town car if you want to keep your costs down. If you want to drink alcoholic beverages without worrying about who is going to get you home, you should absolutely rent a limo. Most limo companies will accommodate clients, no matter their budget. </p>
<p>Although you will probably be required to take out a limo for two hour block at minimum, you can rent a limousine for virtually as long as you want. Some consumers take limos to the airport when they don&#8217;t want to pay to park their cars while others take limos so that they can show up for big events in style. Whatever your reason for renting a limo, make sure that you choose the right company. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you spend a lot of time in your car, you might want to have a new head unit installed. Instead of having a separate GPS, display screen and audio system, a single head unit can fulfill all of your needs. Because most <a href="http://www.jvc.com.au/car-av/head-units ">head units</a> also have touchscreens, you will be able to execute tasks without taking your eyes off of the road. </p>
<p>Use your head unit to talk on your mobile phone with Bluetooth technology and accepting incoming calls without having to fidget with your cell phone. Your passengers will be able to watch movies in your car and enjoy the ride even more. Most head units are easy enough to equip but if you are not experienced you can bring it to to your local car audio installer. Look for other materials and accessories that you will need to install your head unit. </p>
<p>You should look for head units the come with built in CD players, iPod docking capabilities and USB ports. This will enable you to connect all of your digital devices and play auto and video on your head unit. View maps on your new GPS system in stunning HD quality, and play your favorite songs as the digital display shows videos. </p>
<p>State of the art head units are great for families that go on frequent car trips, business professionals with long commutes, and anyone that wants to drive in style. Think about all of the different features that are available in new head units before you make a purchase. You can buy a head unit online, or you can go to a local electronics retailer so that you can see your new head unit in person. Do a little research before you make an investment and your new head unit will quickly become your favorite part of your car. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stock prices for Sirius XM are barely over the $2 mark, but the satellite radio company believes that it can become profitable again through used car sales. GM and Sirius XM have teamed up to give previously owned car buyers a great promotion. For three months, all cars purchased from authorized GM dealerships will be listen to Sirius XM radio for free. This offer has been extended to all vehicle sold from GM lots, even vehicles that have been manufactured by other companies. </p>
<p>The truly strange thing about Sirius XM&#8217;s lack of success is the fact that there are no other competing satellite radio companies. Pandora, which started as a web based radio company, has gone public and is looking to get into the mobile market. Because users have more music customization options with Pandora, Sirius XM could be in trouble. For starters, Pandora subscribers only have to pay one price. By comparison, Sirius XM car radio listeners will have to pay an additional fee if they decide to tune in at home. </p>
<p>Pandora is already working on developing car radio equipment that will eliminate the need for drivers to listen with their smart phones. If Pandora can successfully segue from the web to the auto industry, Sirius XM will no longer have a fighting chance. Sirius XM has been offering free subscriptions to listeners for the last five years and its customer base has still not increased. Sirius XM used to be two separate companies before they merged into one. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2011 Chevy Volt sold incredibly well, which is why the car maker has decided to cut prices on the 2012 model. The base price for the 2012 Chevy Volt is $39,145, which is around $1500 less than the 2011 model. The Chevy Volt is on sale across the US, and the automotive company hopes that it will be able to sell a record number of cars before the end of the year. The fully electric car comes with a number of new features, which will hopefully entice consumers. </p>
<p>With the $7500 federal tax credit, buyer will only be paying around $31,000 for a brand new electric car. Of course, Chevy has to compete with other electric cars that are on the line. The Nissan Leaf is priced similarly and Ford is about to release the Electric Focus model. Car makers regularly reduce the price of their new cars if they think that the gamble will pay off. The Chevy Volt was featured heavily in the auto show circuit earlier this year. While many auto analysts believe that the Chevy Volt is a good buy, there simply might not be enough consumers around to help Chevy get to its bottom line. </p>
<p>For now, shoppers will be able to get the 2012 Chevy Volt for an attractive price, but Chevrolet may decide to go back to its original pricing plan at any time. Sales of the used 2011 Chevy Volt have also been respectable. If enough buyers turn out, the automotive maker might even decide to reduce the price of the Volt even further. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Executives at Ford know that they won&#8217;t be able to increase sales by 50% based on the US market alone, so they are turning their focus toward Asia. In China, millions of cars are purchased each year, but only the most wealthy people are able to afford foreign imports. Ford thinks that it will be able to top the 8 million car mark by 2015 if it is able to stay on the right course. </p>
<p>Ford will also be able to save money by producing smaller cars for the Asian market. Their roads are more congested than highways in the US, so every inch of room counts. If all goes well, approximately 33% of Ford&#8217;s sales will come by way of Asia. In the US, Ford is doing fairly well. Only one other company has managed to post a higher profit margin, but the year is not yet over. </p>
<p>CEO Alan Mulally spoke to members of the automotive industry about his future plans for the company at a press conference earlier this week. Although politicians are criticizing whether or not the federal auto bailout was a success, Ford employees testified that the company was doing better than ever. With the help of Asian buyers, Ford really become one of the key power players in the car industry again. GM has not done as well as Ford, and Chrysler is still sorting out the details of its acquisition. In short, Ford remains one of the only car makers that has not issued a huge recall or been purchased by a foreign entity. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Because most used car buyers are not licensed mechanics it is nearly to avoid purchasing a vehicle that doesn&#8217;t have some type of flaw. Some used cars have minor mechanical problems while some will have less than pristine exteriors. Most problems are easily fixed, but you should be aware of the biggest pitfalls in order to avoid sinking your money into a clunker. </p>
<p>When you are ready to purchase a used vehicle you should avoid looking at any car that is known to be problematic. For example, the most popular <a href="http://www.motors.co.uk/used/cars/local/north-yorkshire">used cars in North Yorkshire</a> are domestically manufactured. Foreign used cars shouldn&#8217;t be avoided altogether, but if you find that other previously owned vehicles have less expensive replacement parts you should choose the one that will be less of a financial burden. </p>
<p>Another factor that you should be aware of is the reputation of the seller. Although many used cars are, in fact, sold privately, there are some people that will use unscrupulous methods to inflate the value of their vehicles. For this reason you should always compare the car that you are thinking about buying against other similar vehicle models being sold elsewhere. </p>
<p>Most importantly, a used car buyer should never pay in cash. In addition to having proof of sale, you should also make certain that you have recourse in case you are unhappy with your purchase at a later date. If you pay by check or credit card your bank can assist you with recouping your funds in the event that the seller is non-compliant. Even if you are sure that your used car is worth the money literally anything can happen when you go to insure your vehicle, have it inspected or purchase auto insurance. Use these simple tips when buying a used car and you will have a better chance of driving away happy</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems like every major city is holding an auto show, and Philadelphia won&#8217;t be left out. Although the event isn&#8217;t slated to begin until this Saturday, thousands of spectators are expected to be in attendance. Plenty of auto makers have already unveiled their most impressive redesigns and new models, but a handful of car manufacturers still have a few tricks up their sleeve. </p>
<p>First up is Ford, who is going to unveil the Ford Mustang BOSS 302 and an updated version of their most popular economy car, the Ford Focus. Many shoppers looking for <a href="http://www.buyacar.co.uk ">cars for new</a> drivers end up purchasing the Ford Focus because is it small, expensive and easy to handle. Volkswagen will be showing an updated version of the Passat and luxury car makers Audi and Bentley Motors will be revealing their latest contributions to the auto industry. </p>
<p>The convention will be held in Pennsylvania Convention Center, smack dab in the heart of Center City. City officials have been hard at work in order to make sure that there is adequate parking. The long awaited event will commence on January 28th, and ticket pre-sales indicate that this will be a sold out event. Other auto makers scheduled to make an appearance include Hyundai, Kia and Toyota. All in all, more than 40 different popular automotive companies will be showcasing their vehicles and holding events meant to educate the public on their latest innovations. Some companies will be pulling out all of the stops while others are only expected to feature one or two of their newest cars. A relatively new organization named the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation will be making contributions for every ticket sold. The event is expected to reel in visitors from all over the tri-state area as new car shoppers look for the next great deal. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The automotive market is booming in China, and many of the manufacturing giant&#8217;s closest neighbors are feeling the effects. After Chinese auto makers increased their sales by a whopping 33%, the country eagerly accepted bids from Singapore auto parts makers to help Chinese motorists stay on the road. Amtek, a Singaporean auto parts manufacturer that was bought out by CVC Capital in 2007 is planning to double its production space in Shanghai, China, in the near future. So far, the auto parts manufacturer has been re-listed on the Singapore Bourse, with its shares rising by more than 25% in the past 30 days.</p>
<p>Amtek is not the only Singapore-listed auto parts manufacturer that has seen its profits grow recently.<br />
Armstrong Industrial and Cheung Woh Technologies have both experienced a steep rise in revenue ever since the Chinese government began offering its citizens attractive incentives for buying new cars. While just about every auto parts and car manufacturer that exports products to China has been riding the gravy train, analysts predict that the market could fall sometime in 2012. New car sales may begin to lag, but given the fact that China is the world&#8217;s largest consumer of automobiles, auto parts will always been in high demand. </p>
<p>Many auto manufacturers are working on hybrid and electric cars, but auto experts do not believe that countries like China will be keen on making a switch anytime soon. This means that <a href="http://www.partsgeek.com">discount auto parts </a>manufacturers will be able to find a home in China for many years. With Chinese consumers set to purchase even more automobiles in 2011 than they did in 2010 and 2009, Singapore-listed auto parts manufacturers will probably see their best year yet. Unless the Chinese government agrees to extend tax incentives, car parts makers may end up needing to lower their prices in order to remain competitive. </p>
