Classic Cars

Some old cars are just old. Some are donated to charity, if charity will take them. Others are given up during community clean-ups and some make the journey to the wrecking yard. But a few actually increase in value. There are old cars bringing higher prices than they did when new.

When you search the net or talk to experienced collectors you will come across labels such as antique cars, vintage cars, classic cars, muscle cars, pony cars. And every one of these has been sought after by a collector.

You will see ads in prestigious magazines such as Forbes identifying the top ten classic cars and the top ten vintage cars. On Sunday afternoon, it is not uncommon to see a club out for a rally. And there is a club for every car category.

But what constitutes an antique, a vintage or a classic? Some definitions have been established but there are also times when the definition is the product of the definer. And often times the definitions don’t agree.

For example, the Antique Automobile Club of America defines an antique car as any car over 25 years old. However, outside the club it is defined as those cars manufactured from the start of development through 1916.

Vintage cars are designated as those produced between 1916 and 1924.

Classic cars are a confusing mix. There are almost as many definitions as there are definers. Some categorize a classic car as one produced from 1925 until today. For certain, to become a classic car, it has to be appreciated and sought after by a significant number of people.

Even auto thieves have their say as to what is and isn’t classic. World wide, auto thieves exhibit a definite preference for Japanese manufactured automobiles. In a ‘Top Ten’ list, auto thieves were found to favor the Honda Civic, Toyota Century, Honda Accord, Accura Integra, the Toyota pickup, and the Nissan Sentra. The other four cars on the list were American. No European cars were listed. However, the content was probably influenced by the location of the list maker and the home base of the thieves.

But European makes, notably the 1954 Mercedes 300SL, the 1966 Porsche 911, the 1961 Jaguar XKE, and the Volvo 1800 E are on a top ten list of vintage cars.

The demand for vintage car advertisements also furnishes a clue as to what is and isn’t popular.

The Classic Car Club of America defines a Classic as: “a fine or distinctive automobile, either American or foreign built, produced between 1925 and 1948.” Classics should be cars that were built in small quantities and high priced when new. The club maintains a list of classics.

The club also readily admits that their definition may not be followed. A look at Forbes top ten will corroborate that statement.

And then the government enters the arena as most states in the United States have laws for defining antiques, vintage, and classics for the purpose of vehicle registration.

So what really appears to determine a classic is popularity. If enough people fall in love with a junkyard relic and desire to own and restore it, that auto will become a classic.

However, there is one certainty. Whether antiques, vintage, or classic, these cars will appreciate in value as years pass.

New Cars

It’s a trick that many drivers are already familiar with; putting a private registration plate on a used car can give the impression that the car is much newer than it seems. So, if you’re looking at used Vauxhall cars to buy, consider a private registration plate to transform the car.

Not everyone can afford a brand new car and it is frustrating for those with tight purse strings to have to think about shelling out for a new car, simply because the reality of this can’t happen. For some, the only way they can afford a car is to buy a used vehicle. This is fine, but if you’re worried about people thinking you’re driving an old model with 100,000 miles on the clock, a private plate could make all the difference.

You’re probably thinking that a private plate is going to cost a fortune, but this is not always the case. If you’re after a plate that says “3MILY” then you could be expecting to pay out a lot, but many private plates are affordable and add a touch of glamour to a car. It is particularly popular for executive car owners, who buy a used car that’s a few years old, to put a private plate on the vehicle so they can make everybody think it is a brand new luxury car they have just bought. The society that we live in is very materialistic, and although the idea of making people believe your car is newer than it is might seem fake and snobbish, you would be surprised just how many people do it. In London, for example, this is particularly popular, as the money-obsessed capital is home to people that have a façade to uphold.

Of course, you don’t have to be so extravagant like this. The main premise here is that if you buy a used car, such as a used Vauxhall car, you can make your car seem new just by adding a private plate. Plus, since you have saved money on the car by buying used, you can afford to splash out a bit on a private plate. Fancy your name on your car? It’s a good idea – but you might have to start saving up! In the meantime though, why not pick out your used Vauxhall car and then decide which plate you want on it.

New Car Buying

Whenever we hear police impound auctions we automatically think that they sell either police cars or cars confiscated from a criminal. While it is true that there are police cars sold at these auctions and that majority of the used cars do come from criminals, police impound auctions also contain cars that belong to old or retired staff and personnel and even other officers. Every car will be auctioned off to the highest bidder and since it is organized by a law enforcement agency, you can be sure that the entire process is legal.

How to Go about It

When you attend these police impound auctions, make sure that you know what you want to buy. Or that you have a fairly good idea of what you are looking for. You can research about the type of car you want as well as the ones they provide on the list.

You need to find out about their usual price, how much they go for, and all other ins and outs of auto auctions. If you can, it would also be helpful if you could get some information about the used car. Try finding out about its history, name of the owner, etc. When you leave for the auto auction place, make sure to get there early. You want some time to go ahead and check the vehicle you have set your eyes on. Find out what type of condition it is in. Don’t be afraid to open the hood or try out the engine as most car auctions administrators allow you to do this. Another thing to remember once you are placing a bid is that these car auctions only accept cash. Unlike most auctions where you can pay through checks, they do not accept this. Thus, you should remind yourself to bring enough cash with you in case you find a car that you want.

Where Car Auctions Are Held

Now that you have an idea of what to do when you go to these auto auctions, you only need to find them so you can attend one. You can try to contact your local law enforcement agencies and try to find out whether there is going to be a police seized car auction happening anytime soon. Most of them will be able to fill you in on when and where it will be happening or direct you to someone who can give you ample information. You can also try online auction site since they can provide you with a more concise listing.

If you are new at police impound auctions, you can try and observe first. Take in your surroundings and bid once you feel confident.

Make new discoveries and learn more handy tips about seized car auctions such as where to find such auctions near your home and how to get great bargains for your car deals.

Town Car

If you live in New York City or have been there, you’ve seen the elegant limos, the luxury car service that is used by the fortunate few. While mere mortals use the subway or hail a cab, important people are chauffeured around in gleaming limos. They never have to wait, they never have to find a parking spot, and they never have to put up with the inconvenience of getting there. But are limos really only for the fortunate few? Do they cost a fortune? Do you need to be a member of some exclusive club?

The answer is no. New York limos are just another service available to New Yorkers and anyone who visits this great city. Limo companies specialize in providing elegant, reliable and safe transportation in a metropolitan area where it is often difficult to get around. So instead of a ratty taxicab, limo customers get to ride in the famous stretch limos, in late model luxury cars, in stretched SUVs, in specially equipped buses, or even in armored vehicles. And the price for this is less than most people think, especially in this day and age of ever-rising gas prices.

In this article I’ll give you some ideas of what New York limo service costs. A lot of people use limos to get to and from airports. In general, riding to or from LaGuardia, JFK or Newark with a limo service will cost about $100 in a luxury vehicle like a Lincoln Town Card, a Mercedes Benz S-Class or a big BMW. Airport transportation in stretch limos or SUVs is between $175 and $225, but consider that such vehicles can accommodate between six and ten passengers, so a larger group can actually ride in style for no more than splitting up into several taxicabs. Add to that the convenience of being together and arriving together, and the advantage of limo service is obvious.

For those who simply want to sightsee in New York City or the Burroughs, hourly rates of NYC car service are usually between $70 and $130, with a minimum of two or three hours depending on the type of trip. Keep in mind that limos, unlike taxicabs, cannot just pick up the next ride once they drop off passengers. This means that hourly limo rates are based on garage-to-garage travel time, which seems fair enough. Also, like anywhere else in life these days, there are some additional fees and taxes. These include tolls, parking, gratuity, New York City tax and now fuel surcharges. But even with these, limos remain a relative bargain in many situations.

When it comes to travel and transportation, it’s often a cost-benefit analysis. Having a client picked up in a limo instead of having them fend for themselves may well close a deal. Going to see a Mets or Yankees game in a New York limousine can make the game a special experience, and for a larger group, it’s cost-effective and fun. All for a fee of around $120 in a luxury car or maybe $225 for a stretch limo with bar. Using limos is not only a pleasant, relaxing experience; it can also make financial sense.
