If yours is the highest offer then the required final payments will have to be made to enable them to transport the car straight from the auction site in USA to Nigeria.

Is it Real To Replace The Car By Blisks or Segways In The City?

Increasingly, in the center of a large city can be fun to watch the picture: serious men in designer suits with smartwatches on the wrists dissect the sidewalks on outlandish transportation, which remind the large concepts from the movies about the future. And if the Segway more or less became familiar to the citizens – after all, they are brought in dozens by advanced corporate parks and even a rapid response service – the blisks for the majority of countries are still a novelty.

Just imagine in what wonderful ways develops technology: mankind first learned to break up multi-ton cars for a few seconds to “hundreds”, and then figure out how to move around on one wheel, applying the minimum of effort. We will try to answer the question whether these subcompact mopeds will be able to replace the car in the metropolis, crowded by traffic jams and exhaust fumes?

Blisks

Technically speaking, blisks are usually called “electric unicycle.” The design is simple and ingenious: there is the motor-wheel and gyro motor. For the first time the device appeared in 2011. Now this vehicle is relatively cheap: prices start from 300 dollars. For this we should say thanks to the ubiquitous Chinese engineers, who rather quickly copied the concept and the technical component of the unicycle. Modern blisks can be accelerated to a speed of 20 km / h. However, with such a regime is unlikely to drive more than 25 kilometers. However, for the conditions of a megacity such an option seems to be quite acceptable. In the end, blisks is a gadget for young geeks who do not see nothing wrong with walking walks.

Segway – four-wheel drive on two wheels

Segway – is the brainchild of American millionaire Dean Border, earned his fabulous fortune due to a number of interesting patents, such as a seat – SUV or a device for the injection of insulin. Vanguard vehicle looks like a scooter with a motor, a handle and two large wheels. The principle of operation is the same as in the blisks: gyros make all the movements and you just move your body, shirk from pedestrians and cyclists. Advanced self balancing system keeps man balanced on two parallel wheels with a vertical wheel. In short, you just move your body forward and Segway is ready to travel. Real magic. By the way, every Segway is equipped with an electronic key with an integrated alarm system. If an attacker would encroach on the two-wheeled wonder, the key will vibrate pitifully, and the wheels will be locked. At Segway, there are probably two key disadvantages: the price and the lack of adaptation to weather conditions. Most citizens perceive the Segway as expensive toy which is good only in the summer. It’s hard to imagine a man on Segway in frosty morning or in windy weather with rain. In the USA Segway is actively used by the police and couriers, postal workers and golfers.

Models of Audi R8 (2017)

Supercar got a massive hexagonal radiator grille, air intakes in the front bumper with vertical slats, a diode light engineering (for a fee is available laser head optics) and an updated feed with modified aft diffuser and bumper. In general, the design of the model acquired more sharp edges which give the appearance of aggression. The interior of the new Audi R8 (2016-2017) meets you with completely rethought front panel, made in a minimalist style, and a digital instrument panel in the form of a 12.3-inch display, which is already known for the above-mentioned models TT and Volkswagen Passat B8.

The electric version of Audi R8
Behind the petrol version Audi shows a more advanced “green” electric version of its supercar R8 e-tron. Equipped with a large T-shaped battery of 92 kW / h, structurally integrated into the central tunnel of the cockpit, electric car is able to drive on electric power up to 450 km! R8 e-tron has a combined charging system (Combined Charging System, CCS), which allows you to charge the car from AC or DC. The Germans claim to fully charge the battery does not need more than 2 hours of time.

According to a press release “vehicle capacity is doubled by 170 kW with maximum torque Nm 2×460” which means, R8 e-tron has two electric motors with 230 hp and 460 Nm of torque for every one, but a heavy-duty motor sports car is able to accelerate to 100 km / h in 3.9 seconds and reaches its maximum 210 km / h or 250 km / h.

Determining the right price to be paid for a new car USA

If you have been checking out prices of cars in the market then chances are that you are already aware of the fact the car prices can often vary greatly. What one car exporter offers you a car for, the other might offer at much less or more. At the end of the day, you just might be left wondering how many people could be paying much less than you for the very same car that you just purchased. However, this can be well avoided by simply doing a bit of research on the worth of a car and calculating an overall average price of the same. This can go a long way in helping you determine what the price range of the vehicle should be like, so you do not end up paying abnormally high prices.

Here are a few general instructions to follow as you go determining the price of the import car in which you are interested:

Re: Tips for car owners and those who are looking for a car! by CarXus: 6:30pm On May 25, 2016
Check on the Edmunds what the TMV or (True Market Value) of the car is. Select the model, make, the year applicable to the cars from USA you wish to buy, and select the style like ‘LS’ or ‘BASE’ to get the price report. It will show you the national average national price being paid for the particular car, with special reference to the price paid in your local region. For similar services you can also check out the Cars Direct.
It may be a good idea to check out the free quotes offered on export vehicle or otherwise by Invoice Dealers, Yahoo Autos, Cars Direct and Edmunds. You will have to enter the same data as mentioned above to get the quotes. Since often these quotes are offered by dealership fleet managers, the prices are often lesser than the dealership sales force quotes. Compare the various options to know your best price.
The link of ‘Pricing and Information’ on NADA Guides can easily help you find the usual quote in your local region. Just enter the right zip code and fill up the required details correctly.
Since various clubs, organizations and companies (especially the huge ones) often offer to members and employees discount deals on purchases from specific carmakers, it may help to find out if any such deal could be applicable to your purchase too.

Re: Tips for car owners and those who are looking for a car! by CarXus: 6:31pm On May 25, 2016
Some warnings and tips:

The accessories included in the LS, base, or other styles of vehicles, cannot be uniform for all the models and makes of a car. The additions included vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Therefore, if you are confused about which style to opt for, chose a ‘Show All Styles’ option to facilitate comparison.
If the large number of car model options is puzzling you, a good idea is to compare the reliability, mileage, etc of the vehicles on appropriate websites that have all necessary information for the customers.

6 Gadgets for every car

Car manufacturers are constantly trying to surprise us: navigators, monitors, autopilots … But there are things that will make driver’s life better and require minimal costs. You drive well? This article is for you

“Pimples” in the cup holder. Have been seen in: Skoda

is known for simple and cheap inventions that make life easier (that is why the Czech brand will be mentioned more than once).

Look at the “bumps” in the cup holder. Brilliant! Both the simplicity and usability. If the car has such holders, the driver doesn’t need to take the bottle while driving, squeeze it between legs and open the cover (or whatever you normally do to solve this problem). Now simply press down the bottle to enter the pimples in the “keyway” on the bottom of the bottle and unscrew the cap.

Flashlight. Have been seen in: Jeep, Skoda, Citroen and others.


Flashlight is the one thing that should be in every car. Just in case. But then why don’t all the manufacturers install them in the car? Besides your torch shouldn’t be simple, but with a magnet. This magnet is useful to you, if (God forbid) you will need to change a tire at night.

Of course, the flashlight can be bought in the store. And, certainly, many of you have done just that. But are you sure that in the right time the batteries in the flashlight will not be discharged?

Adaptive cruise control appeared on the budget models

Modern cars are able to do many things on their own. For example, stay in the flow, keeping the distance to the vehicle traveling ahead. Or slow down to a stop in the event of a collision threat. Active cruise control is already installed on the mass of the brand and its latest version can read the markup, stay in your own lane or taxi, if the road turns. However, they still can not do without the participation of a person who in an emergency should take it over. Therefore, for example, the hand of Mercedes-Benz S-Class driver even during autonomous movement must be on the steering wheel.

The main competitors of Alfa Romeo’s new items can become Porsche Macan and Jaguar F-Pace. Jaguar F-Pace 2017: spacious and luxury as usual

Future fully equipped modification will compete with the Audi RS Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA 45 AMG, Porsche Macan Turbo. However, if the Stelvio is really 510 forces, Alfa crossover is much more powerful than “the Germans” indicated above and, therefore, more expensive.

Re: Tips for car owners and those who are looking for a car! by CarXus: 4:43pm On Jun 03, 2016
The World premiere of the new Alfa Romeo Giulia is scheduled for November or January 2017. It will be held within the motor show in Los Angeles at the motor show in Detroit.

The premiere of a crossover is planning to hold in the United States, since it is known that America is the main priority market for Alfa.

The company plans to sell up to 400 000 vehicles a year, and around 150 000 cars will be sold in the United States.

A small spoiler, which undoubtedly will please fans of crossovers. In early May, it was reported that Alfa Romeo has applied to the Patent Office for registration of the name of Kamal. It is expected that it will be called “SUV”, which is in range of the hierarchy would be a step below the Stelvio.

In the future, it will create another SUV – BMW X5 rival.

Of course, Alfa Romeo doesn’t like when they are trying to impose competition with German vehicles. Once the head of the North American division of the company Reid Biglend said: “What is special about Alfa Romeo brand, so it is that we can keep it in the premium segment, not going down to the price range, where we will have a competition weight – for example, among the German automakers. Our company has a different path.”
