Renting luxury cars is on the uprise as an increasing number of people realise the benefits and flexibility of part-time car ownership. Even once-off customers, like tourists and commuting business people now look for those little extras when shopping around for executive car hire.

In the past economists and market analysers were purely interested in identifying the factors that affect consumers’ buying behaviour and would develop various vehicle models to estimate the market share. They did not, however, consider their consumer group’s travel attitude and personality as factors that might affect their vehicle choice.

In recent years however, it has become very apparent that in order for suppliers to market their vehicles, and most importantly – their brand – to potential buyers they would need to get inside their heads and figure out what makes them tick. As the leading American publishing and media company, Forbes took an ardent interest and did some research. Here follows a little taster of what they found.

Aston Martin DB9 (two door): Consumers who lean towards this vehicle are generally self-made and although they spend quite a bit of money on their cars they are not showy at all. Aston owners, the research revealed, are not very extroverted where their wealth is concerned. These are the sort of people who prefer to wear their designer brand on the inside label rather than splashed across the front of their vest.

Chevrolet Corvette (two door): Owners of these spunky little numbers are aggressive and seek control. They appreciate style in everything they choose to surround themselves with, whether it be cars, homes or furniture. They are successful, crave adventure and may have a fanatic streak (an estimated 95 000 people in the United States alone belong to Corvette clubs).

Honda Civic (coupe and sedan): This consumer group’s favourite leisure activities are reading, domestic travel, conversation with like-minded people and going to the movies. Their biggest emotional desires include feeling secure, feeling in control of their life and ‘destiny’, having fun and enjoying a measure of freedom.

Volkswagen Jetta (sedan): In comparison with the rest of society people who purchase this car are 40% less likely to be separated from their partner, 37% more likely to use sunscreen, 65% more likely to enjoy having their car catch people’s attention and 30% more likely to recycle. They also probably take their music really seriously, partake in snowboarding and drive a little faster than allowed.

Lexus LS (sedan): The owners of this model vehicle enjoy travelling to exotic locations, exercising, reading extensively and developing themselves by taking various classes. They are most probably married, family-orientated and quite wealthy – nearing retirement. Intelligence and politeness are of extreme importance in their life and they expect others to adhere as strictly to these principles as they do.

Nissan 350Z (two door): In comparison with owners of similar sports cars this consumer group is generally younger with a smaller chance of being married. The group consists largely of black or Hispanic people who are seeking improved confidence. The safety aspect is of more importance to them than having a sleek ride and they are also quite likely to own a pet.

So, now you know. Next time you sign up for that car rental luxury package remember you may be giving away more of yourself than simply your choice of luxury car rental. Big Brother is watching and waiting to sort you neatly into a consumer statistic box.

Selling a used car is preferable to trading. You’ll receive close to full retail value rather than accepting wholesale value if you trade.

Prepare to sell your used car :

Psychology is a powerful and important part of buying and selling cars. Perception can be reality. What a potential buyer thinks and feels about your used car might be a Chevrolet car, BMW, Honda, Mitsubishi etc is more important than facts and figures. If a potential buyer sees your car is filthy inside and out, she is very likely to assume, rightly or wrongly, that you don’t take any better care of your car in other ways.

The implication might be that you don’t change your oil, don’t perform regular maintenance, don’t make necessary repairs, and don’t take care when driving. So, the simple fact that you didn’t take the time to clean up your car could easily kill a possible deal.

Although some savvy buyers might look past the dirt on your car and see it for what it really is, you really don’t want to assume that this will always be the case. On the other side of the coin, a beautifully immaculate car can cover up poor maintenance and serious problems. Buyers who are blinded by the glow and shine can make serious mistakes if they don’t look further.

Pricing properly :

One of the biggest predicaments facing used car sellers is what price to ask. A price that is too high will discourage potential buyers. A price that is too low means money unnecessarily thrown away.

Unfortunately, there are no standard prices for used cars. There are a number of guidebooks (some only available to dealers and lenders) and online pricing sources, such as Edmunds, Kelley Blue Book, and NADA Guide, that are just that — guides. Prices can vary from one area of the country to another and can be affected by short-term new-car discounting and rebates.

Where to sell your used car :

There are essentially two ways you can sell your car, depending on how quickly you want to sell and how much money you want. First, you can sell wholesale. This means you sell to a dealer for a low wholesale price and the dealer resells at a higher retail price to make a profit. Carmax is an example of a major dealer that buys used cars from individuals.

If you have a relatively new, clean, low/average mileage vehicle, you should talk to new car dealers who have a used car lot. They may be interested, especially if the car is of the same make that they sell new.

Otherwise, talk to independent used car dealers, especially CarMax, if you have them in your area. Wholesale auctions in your area are also a possibility, but be aware that there are fees involved.

How to negotiate :

Light haggling should be expected when selling a used car. The buyer typically knows you set your price high and wants your “selling” price. They may have already done some pricing research.

Start by offering your asking price and explain why you feel the price is fair, based on your own research. Point out the positive features and characteristics of your car. Some good “positives” could be the following:

    * low mileage
    * add-on equipment
    * original owner
    * no accidents
    * low insurance costs
    * low maintenance costs
    * remaining warranty
    * good gas mileage

Closing the deal :

After you and the buyer have agreed upon a price for your used car, all that remains is the exchange of goods, title, and money — and a paper record of the transaction, generally called a Bill of Sale.

For many car owners with a family, who drive mainly in the city, compact cars can be the best choice. For drivers who mostly drive alone, a compact car is a great alternative to the unnecessary extra bulk and fuel consumption of larger cars while offering the versatility of a car that can seat more passengers when necessary. Compact cars provide value and savings to their owners because of their small size.

Compact cars are not as big as the mid-size automobile and are larger than the mini car, which is also known as the subcompact car. Compact cars can be found in two or four door versions with different sizes of trunk space. This new or used cars for sale are available with with many features to suit different budgets. Since the car is smaller than other cars, the price for compact cars is much less than it is for larger vehicles.

The size of compact cars offer some advantages over heavier vehicles. A larger car requires more fuel to move its weight along. This means that compact cars are fuel efficient in comparison. The wheelbase for compact cars ranges from between 100 to 105 inches for North American vehicles. The cubic space of the pasenger and trunk space in a compact car is approximately between 100 and 109 cubic feet for US compact cars. Compact and subcompact cars will have a range of being to travel between 20 - 50 miles per gallon of gas, depending on the maker and model.

Many important car manufacturers are producing compact cars as a solution for consumers who want better efficiency from their automobiles. You can find compact cars like Chevrolet, Citroen, Fiat, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Puegeot, Sabaru, Saturn, Scion, Saturn, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo cars for sale. The variety of styling of compact cars makes these cars attractive to many car buyers. Consumers can find compact cars that are in sporty, luxury, station wagon and sedan car styles. There are compact cars that combine luxury features and finishing touches with compact sensibility for the most discriminating car owner. Compact cars can offer the same reliability as larger automobiles do.

For some consumers, the idea of a accident involving another vehicle with a compact car can deter them from buying a compact car. As a solution, there are safety features for consumers who want greater protection from their compact cars. The frame of a compact car can be designed to withstand impact and made from material that will maximize the strength of the car’s frame.

In these days when gas prices are rising and the pollution caused from fuel consumption is worsening, it makes sense to drive a compact car. Not only is it possible to save money and gas, consumers can reduce their impact on the environment by driving a compact car. Compact cars can satisfy the personal taste and budget of drivers who need a vehicle with reliability, different features and more miles per gallon of gas.

As a prospective buyer, you often wonder when is the right time for buying a car. Manuals on how to buy a car that tell you about this, more often than not burn a big hole in your pocket. But in contrast to these lengthy expensive manuals, we here offer you some valuable free advice.

There are various theories one observes carefully while researching on the topic. One such theory states that the best time to purchase a car is during Christmas. The whole Christmas season has people shopping for gifts and generally no one is interested in buying a car. As a result, dealers are more open to bargain and may be ready to sell a car at a lower price. Hence the chance of your offer being accepted without too much haggling is greater. In the month of July to October, dealers try to get rid of old stocks to accommodate new arrivals which indeed helps people to get on a good deal. In order to provide space for the new models dealers willingly reduce prices of the present range. Despite the fact that these cars apparently seem cheaper, we believe that clearance sales are not that favorable to buyers for reasons more than one. Especially in case of used cars, you run the risk of purchasing a car that has not been sold earlier as it is most out of shape.

Another theory is quiet different from the above two and recommends that the best time to buy a car is when you feel you are ready to buy a car. It is when you are sure of what you want and have already done the required homework. Car dealers and salesmen are only interested in their own pay checks and will do their best to sell you a car that will give them the highest commission. They also try to hurry you into buying a car the moment you enter the showroom and it is due to this created sense of urgency that you end up buying the car they prescribe and not the one you want.

Information is a must to get a good deal when you decide to buy a car. Be it at Christmas, or during clearance sales or anytime that is suitable for you, it is very important that you research thoroughly the models like Chevrolet, Dodge, Honda, BMW etc  you are interested in. You should be confident about the things you are looking for in your new car and already have an idea of the deals currently available on the car of your choice. You can really buy a car anytime provided you are well prepared.

If still not sure here are four simple steps to help you make profit while making deals for cars no matter what time of the year it is :

i) Some dealers refuse to bargain over the price of a car. If they accept you opening offer too willingly and do not try to barter for a higher price, there might be something wrong. Go somewhere else.

ii) While negotiating the cost of a car do not discuss the monthly expenses the car entails. Instead focus on the price of the car and its various features. You’ll end up playing less.

iii) If you are thinking of buying a new car never wait till your old car has totally stopped functioning. If you are desperate for a car, the car dealer will sense that and take advantage. You should have ample of time for searching the best car available. You will make an incorrect decision if you hurry in buying such valuable things.

iv) Make sure that you have researched enough before settling for a car. Check whether the car suits your needs before any money changes hand.

We believe that the best time to buy a car is not any particular month or season. It is not a particular date on the calendar but any time when you are in the position to make the requisite inquiries and do the necessary. We suggest that you purchase one of the widely available books that discuss this subject and begin by reading it. So go ahead and see yourself get a car you can be proud of. We wish you best of luck.
