By Mario Goldstein Like all painted things, car paint too begins to lose its sheen and gets discolored as the years go by. Wind, snow, heat and other forms of weathering, pollution, abrasions, bird droppings etc are reasons for your car to look old and weather-beaten. But if you are keen on restoring its lost luster and making it look presentable again, there are ways of doing it. The first step to be taken is to get the car thoroughly cleaned. Wash it with soap if necessary and make sure that every nook and corner of the car is free from grime and dirt. Next is to scrape away the top oxidized layer of paint off the car, which can be done with the help of a foam compounding pad. Once you are through with this you will find a cloudy look on the surface of the car. To remove this haziness off the body, you must polish the car, but before you begin, you must ensure that the polish you are using is mild. To get back a glossy look again, you must polish with a circular polisher and the whit...

By Dan Fehn When financing a classic car purchase, your best option is to choose a specialty lender that deals with classic cars and collector cars. You will likely find a better interest rate, longer loan terms, and go through less work than if you choose a typical lender. This article will show you how to finance a classic car purchase, and what pitfalls to look out for. The main reason to shop around specialty car loan lenders is the less hassle you will have to go through. These lenders deal with classic and collector car loans all the time, and they can help guide you through the purchase. Standard lenders sometimes use Kelley Blue Book or NADA price guides for classic cars and that just won’t work, especially for hot rods and other customs or special editions. Having original parts and other unique options on a collector car can add value, and specialty lenders understand this. Specialty lenders can also extend the loan term, sometimes up to 12 to 15 years depending on the amount...

By Gavin Bloom Car insurance is an integral part of the insurance budget. There are a lot of variables that cause the rates to increase or decrease. Some of these variables cannot be controlled by the insured but there are some things the insurance buyer can do to keep their policy reasonable without losing a lot in protection. What Are Your Assets? – Do you own a home? Do you have several vehicles? Do you own a business? Do you rent an apartment? Your strength in assets is a factor when selecting your liability limits. If you accidentally injure or kill someone in an automobile accident and you carry low liability limits on your car policy then your assets are next in line to be used to pay for the damages. The Age of the Vehicles – Newer vehicles usually require physical damage coverage by the lender. Older vehicles with a lot of miles sometimes do not warrant physical damage. Physical damage rates can be adjusted up or down based on the deductible you choose. The Age of The Drivers ...

By Jeffrey Taylor I recently read a newspaper article that car loans are stretching to 7 years and longer. Why is this? Because most car shoppers want to get into the car they want and have a monthly payment in their budget. The dealer knows you are a payment buyer and will do anything to sell you that car. When you walk onto the car dealers lot the salesperson after making small talk will ask, what type of monthly payment are you looking for. In view of the fact that most car shoppers are payment oriented the salesperson needs a number to work with. He will never discuss the actual selling price of the car because that does not allow him to work the payment numbers in his favor. When he comes back with the payment you agree on, check the length of the loan. If you need a 6+ year loan to get the payment you need, you are probably getting in over your head. A lot of things can happen in six years, marriage, children, divorce, job transfers, layoffs, promotions, injuries. Try to purchase...
