No, this isn’t the same as dumpster diving. For one, it’s legal. Secondly, you probably won’t find anything new in a junkyard, like you could in a dumpster. What will you find? A seemingly endless source of inexpensive car parts and unusual finds. Yes, it might look intimidating. Yes, it might require you to wear some dirtier clothes […]
You might have heard that Hyundai has released an Amazon style “Click to Buy” service over in the UK. Simply put, you go online, buy a car, and have it delivered to your door. There are no dealerships involved, and you don’t even see the car. That’s the basic understanding of it, and we’ll go more […]
Sure, the 2017 Jeep Patriot might saunter along unchanged for this upcoming year. But, it still deserves more credit than people are giving it. Time might not have been kind to the Patriot, considering it’s never received a full redesign since it debuted back in 2007 — 10 years ago. But, that doesn’t mean it’s […]
Some of you probably think using a commercial dump truck as daily driver is a stupid idea. Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t have a commercial-size dump truck then, isn’t it? Because, that would have been a whole lotta gas wasted. Technically, the used Dodge Ram 150 I used to drive was a dump truck because it […]
With 2017 finally here, it’s time to reflect. Not on the holiday season that was full of stress, joy, and mixed feelings about the well-being of any pain-in-the-ass relatives that came to visit. I’m talking about credit scores, and what the beginning of 2017 is going to look like for car buyers. With the year […]
Looking for used cars that last for 10 or more years? Well, I have some information for you, based on a study that iSeeCars did. They ended up throwing together a list of vehicles that most often stay with one owner for a decade or longer. Not only does this mean they are good cars […]
And just like that, Hyundai has a fully-fledged autonomous (self-driving) car. Seemingly overnight. At the Consumer Electronics Show, the place where automakers show off their latest and greatest gadgets (and of course, electronic cars), Hyundai debuted its autonomous version of the upcoming Ioniq. The brand claims its robot-car is going to be much more affordable. How? Because the company said […]
It’s officially happening. Hyundai is now working on the second generation of its Tucson fuel cell-powered SUV. The brand is looking to create an upgraded version of the fuel cell for 2018, and is promising to provide an even bigger range than the 265 miles that was found on the 2014 Hyundai Tucson on a full tank. In […]
2017 is off to another great start in the automotive world. Especially when compared to some of the other years we’ve seen. Gas prices are still stable, there are thousands of used cars coming off lease, and the new vehicles being debuted have some of the most advanced technology we’ve ever seen. Things are looking good, unless […]
In 2013, car buyers visited an average of five dealerships before buying a car. In 2016, that number has dropped to 1.6. Does that mean interest in buying from car dealerships is declining? Perhaps, but I don’t think so. Sure, the presence of online car-buying websites has increased. But, so has the availability of dealership […]
If you’ve paid even the slightest attention to the used car market in 2016, you probably know that the prices dropped pretty low, especially for economy cars like full-size sedans, hatchbacks, or compact cars. Trucks and SUV prices might have gone up a bit (along with the demand) but, that’s because the gas prices stabilized […]
With the used market steadily growing — and then experiencing a massive boom at the end of 2016 — you might be curious not just about the cars that proved to be the most popular purchases, but also which ones were searched the most frequently. While used trucks and SUVs, in particular, saw a massive increase […]
