Check Out a Car’s History
A
vehicle history report (VHR), also referred to as a VIN CHECK, used car report or car history report is a detailed document that provides vehicle information about the history of a particular car, boat, truck or RV.
In order to obtain a VHR to verify a car’s history, you’ll need to know the vehicle identification number. A car report or VIN checker can reveal any other strikes against a vehicle that might make you think twice about signing on the dotted line, such as: • past ownership; • any liens held on the vehicle; • vehicle maintenance; • title history blemishes;
• faulty odometer settings; • flood damage; • accident history; • title check; and • whether a vehicle was determined to be a lemon. You can find your car’s VIN in several places. In addition to appearing in the manual and on several important documents, the VIN also is printed on a sticker and adhered to various parts of the car. Check the doorjamb on the driver’s side, the front of the
engine block, underneath the spare tire, and the rear wheel well. A number of online services offer free basic VHRs. If you intend to eventually purchase a VHR, run your free report with a trusted and reputable service, such as AutoCheck. This will allow you to assess the company and become familiar with the site’s interface before purchasing a complete VHR.
list a used car with a link to a free CARFAX VHR report. You may also search for used cars on CARFAX’s website. Each listing comes with a free CARFAX VHR. When running a free VHR, you will need to enter the VIN. You also may need to provide a ZIP code, license plate number or the state in which the car is registered. After providing all the requested information and accepting any terms and conditions,
Several dealerships will
click “Submit” or “Run.” The site will automatically load your free VHR. A complete VHR will separate information into categories such as vehicle history and report summary, value calculator, ownership history, title history, additional history and detailed history. A free report will contain components of each section with general information. Since the free VHR is vague, it also may be harder to interpret.
Wet Weather Driving M ost drivers are aware that driving in the rain is more dangerous than dry conditions, but we have to adjust our driving habits. According to AAA, wet pavement contributes to nearly 1.2 million crashes each year.
Rainy conditions add risks to driving in general, and extra caution should be taken in vehicle maintenance and driver compensation.
especially as wet weather is forecasted more regularly in your area.
Maintenance
Most modern cars feature cruise control, yet this feature hampers your safety when it’s raining. Cruise control can increase the chances of losing control of your vehicle, so avoid using it when wet roads are an issue. Full concentration is required with no distractions while driving in general, but especially in wet-weather conditions. That’s why slowing down is so critical to reducing a car’s chance of hydroplaning — the action of your tires rising up on a film of water.
When it’s wet outside, the part of your vehicle that enable the driver to see and be seen become even more critical. Your windshield wipers should be in good shape so that in a downpour, you can see the road and other vehicles. Likewise, properly working headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals allow other drivers to see you. Turn on your headlights for maximum visibility. When it comes to your tires, proper tread depth and inflation will ensure good traction on wet roadways. It is important to check them regularly,

braking or turning sharply, and drive in the tracks of the vehicle ahead of you when dealing with a rain-soaked road. Allow extra stopping distance between cars by increasing the following distance and slowing down earlier to stop for intersections, turns and other traffic. AAA advises drivers to brake, turn and then accelerate when driving in wet driving conditions. Skids can happen even to the most experienced drivers. Dealing with skids is simple, and drivers should follow these AAA recommendations. • Continue to look and steer in the direction in which the driver wants the car to go; and • Avoid slamming on the brakes as this will further upset the vehicle’s balance and make it harder to control.

Get the Best Trade-In Deal By Green Shoot Media®
I
f it’s time to purchase a new car, it may also be time to upgrade your current vehicle to maximize its trade-in value.
There are many ways to make this happen. In addition to a down payment, a good price on your trade-in can greatly lower the total amount that you will ultimately owe for your new vehicle. It’s important to research your vehicle’s value so you’re not negotiating blindly when it’s time to close the deal.
Research A good way to get a great handle on the trade-in value of your car is to check with a resource like Kelley Blue Book. You can use the company’s database to find a rough estimate of what a dealer may offer for a trade-in. Answer the website’s questions honestly to give yourself the most accurate value. Dealers are experienced in this department and know what they’re looking for when valuing a tradein. It’s easy to be discouraged if you are offered less than you are expecting, so having a realistic value in mind is critical to keeping you on track at the dealership. Give Your Vehicle Some TLC The impression your vehicle
makes on the dealer is up to you. Make sure to spend some time scrubbing the exterior and vacuuming the interior. It may not be a bad idea to hire a local professional detail company to really make it shine. Many of these detail companies also work for dealerships, sprucing up vehicles before they’re sold. They will have a good understanding of how to beautify your vehicle when you tell them you’re taking it in for trade.
Mechanical Difficulties? Apart from the appearance, you will benefit from correcting any minor mechanical problems your car is experiencing. If you’re hearing noises from under the hood, that may be unattractive to a dealer looking to re-sell. Have a local expert take a look and give you advice on which repairs are most pressing. Knowing about these minor issues will give you an upper hand when negotiating. You can refer to your mechanic’s repair quote, letting your dealer know exactly what type of work is required to get the vehicle into top shape.

Buying Your First Hybrid By Green Shoot Media®
H
ybrid vehicles have been growing in popularity thanks to their reputation of being better for the environment and their great fuel economy. If you’re considering making your first hybrid vehicle purchase, there are a few factors that to keep in mind.
Owning a new hybrid isn’t all great gas mileage and a lower carbon footprint. Maintaining a new hybrid car can be expensive, so it’s important to understand what you’re getting into before signing the final sales contract.
What is A Hybrid Vehicle? A hybrid vehicle generally uses two different powertrains — typically a gasoline engine along with an electric motor. By working together, they are able to consume less fuel by allowing the gasoline engine to carry less of the load. Regenerative braking is one of the signature features of a hybrid vehicle. When you apply your brakes, it causes the electric motor to run backwards in order to stop the vehicle. While the motor is in reverse mode, it feeds electricity to the batteries. This system is one of the most unique features of hybrid vehicles on the market today. Gas Mileage Toyota boasts that its new 2016 Prius will get an average of 54 miles per gallon. While some hybrids may get lower mileage than the Prius, the numbers are still much higher than a convention gasoline vehicle.

While you’re getting more bang for your buck at the pump, also know that you’ll get less power from a hybrid than you would a conventional engine. Gasoline engines will accelerate considerably faster and offer more horsepower. Consider this major difference when making your decision.
Maintaining a Hybrid Possibly the biggest issue related to owning a hybrid vehicle is the cost of maintenance. Replacing a hybrid battery can cost thousands of dollars. Fortunately, car manufacturers usually offer great protection on the hybrid components, so make sure to understand what kind of warranty you’re getting.
When it comes to a hybrid, a good rule of thumb is to go back to your local dealer for repairs. Their mechanics have been trained on the complexity of a hybrid engine and will have special tools for repairs.
