All you should know about VINs

What is a VIN?


VIN is the shortened form of Vehicle Identification Number – the code that identifies a specific car. It is akin to the fingerprint of the car as no two cars that are running will have identical VINs. This VIN comprises of 17 characters (including figures and capital letters) and this helps to identify the vehicle in a unique manner. The VIN shows the unique characteristics of the car – its specifications and the name of the manufacturer. The VIN comes in handy to track recalls, make claims on warranty, registrations, insurance and even in case of thefts.

Re: Facts About Cars by CarXus: 12:10pm On Apr 26, 2016
Where can I find the VIN?

The VIN is located in the dashboard on the side of the car where the driver sits. The best way to find it is to stand outside the car on the side of the driver and peer into the dashboard’s corner at its juncture point with the windshield. If it cannot be located here then it is best to open the drivers’ door and look at the door post – the point were the door latches are fixed. It is most likely to be written here.

Look for the VIN in these other locations:


The VIN will be written in the insurance card or policy as well as in the registration papers of the vehicle.

http://www.auctionexport.com/What-is-a-VIN.html
Re: Facts About Cars by CarXus: 12:11pm On Apr 26, 2016
What if the VIN is not 17 characters long?

If the VIN does not comprise of 17 characters then it is best to immediately check again and see if there has been some careless mistake in jotting down the numbers. But even after that if the numbers are not 17 then most likely the automobile is a pre-1981 car.Before 1981 the VIN were anything from 11 to 17 characters. AutoCheck can report only those vehicles that have 17 characters VIN. This limits the information available for pre-1981 cars.

Benefits of salvage car auction


Salvage car auction provides the manufacturers ample scope to get foreign car parts in affordable prices. Salvage cars are those which are damaged from either accidents or natural calamities. Stolen cars are also included in the list. Often the stolen cars after recovery are beyond repair. Insurance companies find it rational to sell them rather than to sponsor for the repair. Moreover in these cases the repairmen cost exceeds the insurance money.

For individual buyers salvage car auction is not a good proposition. Though there are sections of cars which are claimed as repairable cars, you can never know the extent of damage. Moreover in online auctions of salvaged cars you are likely to be fooled. But auctionexport.com assures you to find all the salvage car auctions taking place in USA.
Re: Facts About Cars by CarXus: 6:14pm On Apr 27, 2016
Taking part and buying a salvage car is one thing. On the other hand getting the legal ownership of the salvage car is completely different. Always remember, these cars are unclaimed. But the legal documents are with the original owner. So there can be legal hassles after you buy a car. Auctionexport will help you out to untangle these complicacies.

Re: Facts About Cars by CarXus: 6:14pm On Apr 27, 2016
The good part of a salvage car auction is that, they help the insurance companies to dispense with the heaps of cars that are coming to them every year. Moreover, it is through these auctions that the manufacturers of different countries get access to US made car-parts in a cheaper rate. They can incorporate these parts in their manufacturing too. Though, the parts are foreign, the cost of the car will also be within reach.

Benefits of Certified Pre-owned Cars

Earlier, used cars in America were considered to be a mere metal heap set to roll on the roads. Most of them were wary of buying a used car. But certified pre-used cars have set the ball rolling for the second-hand car market in U.S.A. These cars are quite popular today.

The sale of these cars increased by 132 percent from 2001 to 2006. Currently, certified car dealers constitute a very small percentage of the overall car market, but it is increasing by the day.
Re: Facts About Cars by CarXus: 6:29pm On Apr 27, 2016
Higher value for higher price


Certified pre-owned cars on an average cost approximately $1542 more than non-certified cars. Nonetheless, the extended warranty makes up for the extra money. It is any day better to pay a little extra money than to carry home a bunch of problems which non-certified cars bring with it. Manufacturers are increasing those warranties by the day. GM increased its warranty period from 3 years to five years, and from 36000 miles to 1,00000 miles from 2008. Chrysler has increased its warranty to 8 years and the number of miles to 80,000. Ford, Hyundai and Mazda have increased their warranty for miles to 1,00000.

Car buyers, by considering certified pre-owned cars can save thousands of dollars. For instance, one can easily avail a Lexus RX 400h for if he chooses to go for a CPO, for the price of a Toyota Highlander. What is better is that the coverage period of warranty will be similar.

The New QX Sport Inspiration: Infiniti Is Spoiling To A Cross-Coupe Segment

A few days before the opening of the showroom in Beijing Infiniti held a presentation of conceptual QX Sport Inspiration, which “makes it clear what will be the next mid-size crossover of premium brand.” – as it was noted in the company.

The show took place in Infiniti design center in Beijing. The concept is made in the “elegant power” concept, pledged by the brand a few years ago and has already sold in several models.

The Infiniti stressed that about the off-road capabilities of the crossover value says clearance – 230 mm. This model does not lose “the fundamental qualities” of the brand cars – dynamics and driving pleasure.

Re: Facts About Cars by CarXus: 5:20pm On Apr 28, 2016

Re: Facts About Cars by CarXus: 5:25pm On Apr 28, 2016
Bright design solutions are also practical. For example, when viewed from the front are visible large air inlets in the form of blades. In addition, they make the car visually wider therethrough cools the brake system. Vertical “gills” behind the front wings are designed to prevent turbulence. Also, the unity of form and function is the rear diffuser.

Mercedes-Benz GLC: supercharged

What is revolutionary in the GLC, apart from ingenious electronics? Layout is still classic, with a longitudinal arrangement of the power unit and two-lever front suspension, and design is in the spirit of the mainstream.

However, attention is drawn to athletic proportions: an elongated bonnet and the longest wheelbase in the class give a silhouette of respectability, but do not add some space in the cabin.

But the premium crossover does not have to be a “barn”. Worse is that under the hood hides are impressive four-cylinder engines ( “six” is promised in the future), albeit turbocharged.

BMW X3: «MacPherson» isn’t a vice

Bavarian crossover is the closest to the “Mercedes” in ideology, and GLC developers obviously tried to catch up and overtake X3. The main formal difference in the BMW design is front suspension McPherson, which is considered to be less steep than double wishbone. But today is not that important concept, as a concrete embodiment, and in this respect, the Bavarian engineers are still on the top, despite the age of model. And at the height of both figuratively and literally: the ground clearance at the X3 is much larger, although talking of a successful flotation on the whole is not entirely correct.

But in what case the “boomer” objectively wins – so it is in the choice of engines: there is a two-liter and “turbo fours,” as the “Mercedes” (184-245 hp..), And three-liter “six”, and the like gasoline (306 hp..), and diesel, issuing a 249 “horses” (version 30d), or a spectacular 313 (35d). The latter option of 249-hp engine, which combines 5.9-second acceleration to 100 km / h and 5.7 liters of “diesel” on the same hundred in combined cycle, we can well afford, though it’s rather expensive.
