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.

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.

No, this is not a joke. Volvo has created a passenger vehicle called the Gran Arctic 300 Bus and it measures ninety-eight freakin’ feet long. Let that sink in for a second. That’s close to one-third of a football field, eight feet longer than the distance between home and first base, or one and a half bowling […]

First, the gas-powered Alfieri introduced back at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show has been pushed back in production. Now, we’re discovering that the electric variant has been delayed for so long, that the technology needs to be updated in order to stay relevant. While that is a big snag in itself, perhaps the biggest snag […]

Hydroforming has been in the manufacturing industries for a quite a while, but only recently introduced into vehicle production — comparatively speaking. A lot of 2016 trucks use hydroformed frames. The Ram and Chevy trucks are perfect examples of this, and hydroforming is one of the main reasons why the Ram 3500 and Silverado are such powerful workhorses. […]
I know. Just like I was, you spit out your coffee, then proceeded to roll on the floor laughing after reading the title. But, after I actually saw what an electric-powered Jeep Wrangler is capable of, I felt nothing but admiration for it. In the States, everyone is worried about the JK-series Wrangler‘s final days […]

The release of the new Wrangler, sometime in late 2017 or early 2018, will mark the end of the JK platform. […]
Many people refuse to buy from a buy here, pay here (BHPH) dealership — even if it’s an easier option for them — simply because of what they’ve read online or have heard from friends. High interest rates, cheap cars, and sales associates that are looking to trick you in every word of the contract. Don’t just assume […]

Bad credit sometimes seems like the end of the world, especially when it comes to car buying. But in life, it’s always important to look at the silver lining. Even if you’re not enthusiastic about getting a car loan with bad credit — due to higher-than-average interest rates — whether at a buy here, pay here dealership […]
If you’re a car fanatic, you probably know about Jay Leno and his toys.

The age old battle between the two American automakers can finally be put to rest, along with the vicious rumors that spread like wild fire, thanks to outspoken users of social media.

When going to a dealership, there’s a lot on your mind. First and foremost, it’s what type of car you want to buy — sedan, crossover, SUV, truck, compact, hatchback, etc. There’s a lot to choose from, and I get that it’s exciting. But, that’s not what you should be focusing on. You should be […]
