In its 2010 Initial Quality Study (IQS), released June 17, J.D. Power and Associates names Volvo C70 the top compact premium sporty car and ranks the Volvo nameplate as number 10 among automakers.
The leading research company’s 2010 Initial Quality Study also names three Volvo models – S80, XC70, XC60 – among top three in respective classes.

Volvo Car’s continued dedication to quality contributed to its 10th place ranking, up from 20th in 2009 on the US market. Every domestic and international automaker that sells vehicles in the United States is ranked by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), and Volvo this year earned its ranking by matching the industry average of 109 PP100.

”The IQS is the Olympics or World Championship of the car manufacturers’ world, so it feels really good to improve our placing by a massive ten positions,” says Bengt Banck, Senior Vice President, Quality and Customer Satisfaction at Volvo Cars.

2010 also marks the first year Volvo models have been individually recognized for outstanding value and performance.

2010 Volvo S80

Recently named the 2010 Best Overall Value of the Year in its luxury convertible class by IntelliChoice, the Volvo C70 now adds to its accolades recognition as the highest-ranking compact premium sporty car by J.D. Power and Associates.

In addition to the C70, Volvo has other models that rank within the top three in their segments: the S80 for midsize premium car brands, the XC70 for midsize premium crossover/SUV brands, and the XC60 for entry premium crossover/SUV brands.

According to J.D. Power and Associates, the IQS serves as the industry

benchmark for new-vehicle quality measured at 90 days of ownership. In addition to manufacturer use for design and build improvements, consumers use the study to help in vehicle purchase decisions.

Volvo Goes Naughty – The 2011 Volvo S60

cars canada for sale — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:36:13 +0000

Where's Your Naughty Meter?

Safety, Scandinavian design and environmental consideration are all part and parcel of the Volvo brand. With the all-new Volvo S60, a new dimension is now being revealed – The Naughty Volvo. The aim is for driving pleasure, world-class design and innovative safety to attract more customers to the Volvo brand.

Volvo Cars is putting most of its campaign online and reveals its more playful dimension, where properties such as extreme driving pleasure and daring design are in the spotlight.

“The all-new Volvo S60 is a particularly dynamic car with an exciting design and innovative safety features. We are showing what it can actually do and just how much fun it is to drive,” says Michael Persson, director of Global Marketing Communications.

A total of twelve short films have been produced at the Volvo test-track. The visitor gets to choose from four headlines what test they want to try out and by using the naughtymeter they decide just how naughty the S60 is to be.

The first film shows a slalom test and at level two a red S60 slips and slides its way along a slalom course marked out with traffic cones and the question “Want it naughty?” appears on the screen. With each level, both the speed and the thrills rise to new heights. And the same principle is applied to the other three films: Elk test, Pedestrian Detection and Driving Pleasure.

No cheating

“The films haven’t been faked or enhanced in any way. The S60 not only represents the fun side of Volvo, it lives up to its sporty design,” says Sven de Smet, Campaign Development Manager.
A world famous stunt driver has together with the Volvo team planned all the various courses and events. After test-driving the Volvo S60 on the track, he decided to add even more spice to his stunts.

“Of course we don’t encourage anyone else to drive in this way. Instead, what we wanted was to show that the car can handle all this and more thanks to its superb dynamic properties and innovative technical solutions,” explains Sven de Smet.

There is a fourth level marked on the naughtymeter. It is linked to the question “Not naughty enough? You tell us.” Visitors to the website are asked to send in suggestions for what challenges that last level should contain.

“We certainly aren’t going to blow up cars or allow any risk of personal injury, but in all other respects there are no holds barred,” says Michael Persson.

Five finalists will be presented on the naughty hub. The public get to vote in the winner, who will be named at the end of April. The winning idea will then be filmed in Los Angeles early May.

Aside from Volvo Cars in Sweden who will run a separate campaign more in line with their long-term market communication, the Naughty campaign is global and gets under way with the launch of the all-new Volvo S60 at the Geneva Motor show early March. That is when it will be possible to see how well the campaign succeeds to grab the attention of premium car buyers and for them to experience the fun side of Volvo; the naughty one.

Protect Yourself With CarProof Vehicle History Reports – Cars Used Ontario

cars canada for sale — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 11:55:43 +0000

If You Aren't Provided with a Vehicle Report Ask Yourself Why?

There are many questions that should be at the forefront of your mind to ask when it comes to buying a pre-owned or use car. One that should ALWAYS be asked is “Can I see the vehicle history reoprt on this car?”

You want to know if the car you are looking at has been involved in any sort of accident or incident and if so the extent of the damage. Dealers are suppose to tell you if there is an accident registered on a vehicle, but if you have ever watched W5 that isn’t always the case.

I have gone out with friends who are looking to buy a car and you would be surprised at the comments we get back when we ask if the car is clean from accidents and if we can see the history report. We got the “yes of course it’s accident free, I don’t have anything on my lot like that.” One dealer so much as said that if we buy the car then he will purchase the vehicle history report for us. What good is that? You want to know ahead of time because this important piece of information provides you with the information you need to make an informed buying decision.

Typically as a used car comes in the Used Car Manager will already have the CarProof already in the vehicle folder, the Dealerships make this common practice. The smaller lots might not necessarily. There is a cost involved for the dealer, but that is the cost of doing business, so do not take any excuse as to why you can’t see it.

If you are buying a car privately, again, protect yourself. Ask if the car is free from any accidents or incidents, but regardless of what they say do your due deligence and check it out.

To check out a car you are buying off someone, get the VIN (vehicle information number), it is usually on the driver’s door on the inside, side panel, or on the driver’s side corner windshield. Write the number down and pull your own CarProof there is a cost to this but hey, a little bit now could save you thousands.

The 2011 Volvo S60 – More Extrovert Attitude Than Any Previous Volvo

cars canada for sale — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:53:03 +0000

Cars Canada For Sale

The all-new Volvo S60 made its world premiere today at the Geneva Motor Show. The car will enter one of the automotive world’s toughest segments backed by an extrovert attitude never before seen in Volvo showrooms. The all-new S60 has been sculpted to move you – both physically and emotionally.

“The sporty design delivers a visual promise of enthusiastic driving characteristics and I can assure you that the all-new S60 truly lives up to that promise. Its driving properties are better than those of any previous Volvo. What is more, the car’s innovative new technologies help you become both a better and a safer driver,” says Volvo Car Corporation President and CEO Stephen Odell.

With its all-new Volvo S60, Volvo Cars is advancing its position in one of the car world’s most competitive segments: CD Premium.

“The competition is razor-sharp and the customers know exactly what they want. The emphasis is on emotional stance, sporty design and dynamic driving properties. Success in this segment means a lot for the brand’s image and we are convinced that the all-new S60 will be one of the strongest contenders,” says Odell.

The first-generation Volvo S60 was launched in 2000. It soon became Volvo Cars’ most popular model, enjoying worldwide acclaim and peak sales of 110,000 cars in 2002. All told, there are approximately 600,000 S60s on roads around the world today.

Uniform Global Spread

The initial annual target for the all-new Volvo S60 is 90,000 cars and the car’s customer base is spread uniformly throughout the world. Europe (including Russia), North America, and the rest of the world will each account for approximately one-third of total sales.

The five largest single markets will be the USA, China, Russia, Sweden and Great Britain.

The all-new S60 is built at the Volvo Cars factory in Ghent, Belgium. The

We'll Keep You Posted On Updates

first cars will be delivered to European customers in early summer 2010. The vehicle will arrive in Canada in the second half of 2010.

“Irrespective of whether the customers are in the USA, Europe or elsewhere in the world, they all prioritise the same characteristics. Now we are giving them an entirely new S60 that has a unique appeal to even the most discerning of buyers,” says Odell.

Embracing Contrasts

The all-new S60 is a Volvo vehicle that embraces contrasts. Its clear focus on the driver makes it the ideal companion for the keen driving enthusiast. At the same time, it integrates high-tech innovation that helps it protect one of the most vulnerable road-users in modern traffic: the pedestrian.

Pedestrian Detection with full auto brake is a groundbreaking technology. It can detect pedestrians that walk onto the road in front of the car, warn the driver, and automatically apply full braking power if the driver does not respond in time.

“Pedestrian Detection with full auto brake takes Volvo Cars’ traditional care for the human being to a whole new dimension. In recent years, we have introduced a number of solutions that help the driver avoid accidents with other vehicles. Now we are taking a giant step forward with technology that helps to increase safety for unprotected road users as well,” says Tomas Ahlborg, Project Director for the all-new Volvo S60. “As far as we know, we are the first car maker in the world to offer a complete system that can detect, alert and automatically brake to avoid pedestrians.”

For Ahlborg, who also served as one of the driving forces behind the first-generation S60, responsibility for the development of the all-new Volvo S60 has been the most exciting challenge of his career.

“The brief from the company’s executive management was short and to the point: create Volvo’s sportiest car ever. Personally, I’m one hundred percent delighted with the result. The all-new S60 is an uncompromisingly sporty sedan. Every single detail is in total harmony with the car’s dynamic credentials,” he explains.

Eldorado For Car Enthusiasts

In simple terms, car buyers can be divided into two main categories: enthusiasts and pragmatists. For the enthusiast, the car is a high-priority conversation topic that can never be exhausted. The pragmatist only shows interest in cars when it is time to replace his or her current vehicle with a new one every three or four years or so.

In a historical perspective, Volvo Cars’ brand has attracted more pragmatists than enthusiasts. However, as each successive generation of Volvo models became increasingly emotional, that picture has changed – and the all-new S60 is packed with all the ingredients from the enthusiast’s favourite menu.

“The number ‘60′ in our model range nowadays indicates our sportiest models. The XC60 was the first step. Now, with the all-new S60, we are placing ourselves right on the car enthusiasts’ radar screen. Later in 2010, we will expand the range by introducing the new Volvo V60 sportswagon,” says Ahlborg.

ALWAYS Compare Rates

It’s an exciting time in the household when a son or daughter is ready to get behind the wheel of your car. Exciting for them, but most parents feel it can be a headache. Getting a car insurance quote new driver, doesn’t have to be a headache and if you are smart it won’t cost you a lot in your insurance premium either!

Think About Insurance When …

If your teen has the first level of their driver’s license (in Ontario it’s the G1, elsewhere in Canada it’s a Class 7), they are to have a licensed driver in the car with them at all times. Because they are under this constant supervision, insurance companies do not consider them a high risk for accidents and are not required to be added to your insurance policy.

The minute their license changes (G2 Ontario, Class 5 everywhere else), they do need to be insured and you’ll have to add them to your insurance policy. When it is time to add them don’t forget to shop for rates. You can get a Canada car insurance online quote and see by how much your rate will be affected from several companies at once and decide from there which way to go. Continued

Cars Used Ontario Top 9 Things To Look At When Buying a Pre-Owned Car

cars canada for sale — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:16:28 +0000

Ok, so you did your research online, read the used car reviews that are available and you have narrowed your choices down. Now comes the time to head off to the dealerships or lots where the cars are and take a look, EXCELLENT!

These 9 tips will help in what to look for generally and which will help you make a more informed purchase decision:

1. Take a walk around the vehicle and look for any sort of differences in paint colour. It could be an indication that there has been some body work done due to an accident. While you’re at it are there scratches and dents that need to be discussed about getting fixed if you were to purchase the vehicle.

2. Check the ground and under to hood for any sort of fluid leaks. Leaking fluid can generally be a sign that something needs repairing and if so depending on the leak it could be a costly one.

3. Start the engine and look under the hood. How does it sound smooth or rough? Is there an excessive amount of smoke?

4. Look at the general wear and tear of the vehicle. If there are leather seats, what is the general condition? Keep in mind that the driver seat wears more because of high use. But generally look at everything. It can usually give you a sign if the car was taken care of properly. Or that it was driven hard.

5. As odd as this sounds but I see it a lot now, check for odors. If you can’t handle the smell of smoke or the smell of a dog then the last thing you want is to buy a car that already smells like that. It takes a lot to get rid of those odors and if they are right in the seats you may never get it out, are you ok with that.

6. Was the vehicle mainly used for highway driving or local driving? Again, the stop/go of local driving is generally harder on a car than getting it out on the highway and letting it go. Was it a one owner car?

7. THIS IS BIG and something I see all the time. Is EVERYTHING in working order? In the winter does the heat work and if applicable what about the heated seats are they working. In the summer, how is the AC. Check the sunroof that it works, check your radio, power windows (all of them), locks, mirrors? Make sure all your accessories are in working order. Is there one key or two, is there an owner’s manual, mats. Make a note of them and use them as bargaining power when you are working out a deal.

8. When you’re driving, drive with the radio off (now that you know it works of course). Listen to the engine, how is the drive, do the brakes squeak or are they soft? Is there any excessive rattling or any sort of vibrating in the steering? Again, these are all signs that things are not necessarily right with the car.

9. Ask to see the Car Proof. DO NOT take the word that it is clean and no accidents. Ask if it is a daily rental, taxi or police vehicle. A dealership/car lot is suppose come forward and tell you but there are some that won’t. DO NOT accept this statement “Printing off a Car Proof is expensive and we don’t do it until the car is sold.” That’s bogus, don’t sign a thing, and walk away.

Keep in mind that once you have narrowed your selection down, there is nothing stopping you from putting a condition on the sale, ie, “sale subject to mechanic inspection.” What that means is you make arrangements to have a mechanic come and take at look at the car. In most cases a dealership will let you take the car to your mechanic to have them look at it, or at the very least make arrangements for the mechanic to go with you to the dealership. They can put the car up on a hoist for you and your mechanic can take a look and let you know if it is ok or not.

These tips will certainly give you a good foundation of what to look for when you are buying a pre-owned car. Do not allow yourself to be pressured, take your time. There is nothing wrong with taking the car out on a test drive and getting the information you need and then going back the next day. Take your time.

Good luck!!!

Cars Used Ontario – Use Car Dealers

cars canada for sale — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:22:04 +0000

There are previous posts here that will take you through the steps that can help you find a good quality used car. What I wanted to do was explain the difference between buying from an ABC lot and from a Dealership.

Not all used car dealers are created equal and if you see a car on a lot that is of interest to you, do your homework and make sure you protect yourself. What I mean by that is this:

1. Get a vehicle report on the car – ask to see the UCDA Report or the Car Proof to check and make sure that there are no registered accidents. The report should also tell you if the car was registered in any other Province and if it is a US car. If you get a song and dance that the car is clean but no report is presented … don’t even go any further … just leave. DON’T TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT.

2. Test drive the car – if you get the vehicle report and it looks clean then take the car for a test drive. Check and make sure that everything works; the power windows they all go up and down, locks, keyless entry, air conditioning, heat, power seats, heated seats … you get the picture check it all.

What I have found is when people come into our dealership and it is the middle of winter or summer they fail to check the other things that they will need down the road. In the middle of winter, people forget to check the a/c, sunroof, etc and in the summer they forget to check the heat and heated seats to make sure they work.

3. Have the vehicle mechanically checked – There is nothing wrong with having a mechanic check over a car for you. There have been plenty of times when I have had a customer who has asked me if we can take the car to his mechanic or if the mechanic can come to the dealership to check it out. Typically the mechanic comes to the dealership and the car is put on the hoist. In the case of used car dealers who don’t have the facilities (and a lot of them don’t) then make arrangements with them to have your mechanic check it out.

Not all used car dealers are created equal and you can pick up some good quality used cars, but you need to do your due diligenc.

Have a question … post it and let’s get your an answer!

Car Leasing Center – Car Lease Terms

cars canada for sale — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 12:11:48 +0000

: Image by BondBeterLeefmilieu via Flickr

When you are leasing a car there are general things that you need to figure out before you get to the Dealership. Things like how many kms per year will you drive, are you planning on putting any money down and another is the length or time or the car lease term that is going to work for you.

Typically the car lease terms are 24, 36, 48 and depending on the manufacturer there may be a 60 month option. Sit down with your Lease Manager and go through the various terms with them and they will let you know how the term affects the car lease payment.

Pay attention to the rates and residuals from one term to the next. A shorter term may have high residuals (the higher the residual means, in most cases, a lower payment).

The typical car lease terms are 36 and 48 months. I would not recommend going any longer than the 48 month term. The whole idea behind a lease payment is that it is lower than a finance payment because you are only paying for the amount of the car you are driving for a set period of time. If you go more than the 48 month lease term – to the 60 month term – you have almost paid for the whole car and you still don’t own it. Really think about the term and again, get the Lease Manager to do a compairson for you and to show you the differences so you are better informed and can make a better buying decision!

Our unique wagon design meets highly-engineered performance!

The entry-level V70 3.2 comes standard with: 16″ alloy wheels, dual-zone Electronic Climate Control, Dynamic Stability and Traction Control, Bluetooth, power driver’s seat with memory, heated front seats, T-tec seating surfaces and a 6-speaker audio system.

The 3.2 Premium adds a list of additional features as standard equipment and includes: sunroof, leather seating surfaces, power tailgate, Blind Spot Information System, 8-speaker audio system and power passenger seat. Two option packages are available.

The second, is the Tech Package (Premium Sound system with 12 DynAudio speaker, a 650-watt amplifier and Dolby Pro Logic II Surround Sound processing, 6-disc in-dash CD changer, satellite radio, Personal Car Communicator (PCC) with keyless drive and Collision Avoidance System (CAS)).

What is the Personal Car Communictor (PCC)

Within 100 metres of the V70 this system on the key fob will notify the driver if the car is locked, unlocked, if the alarm was activated and if a heartbeat has been detected inside the vehicle at the press of a button. Beyond 100 meters, the driver can check if the “lock” button was pressed when the wagon was left.

What is the Collision Avoidance System (CAS)

This system utilizes long-range radar and a short-range digital camera to deliver a Collision Warning system with Auto Brake that will visually and audibly warn the driver of a potential collision and autonomously apply up to 50 per cent braking power should a collision become imminent. CAS also adds Lane Departure Warning, Distance Alert to help maintain a safe distance to the vehicle in front and Driver Alert to evaluate the driver’s control of the vehicle and warn them if there is increased likelihood they are asleep or distracted.

More About the Volvo Line-Up You Might Not Know

The V70′s body structure as well as the rest of the Volvo line-up, is composed of four kinds of steel to distribute collision energy around the passenger cabin. The interior is equipped with a collapsible steering column, a full complement of airbags and the company’s unique Volvo Whiplash Protection System to reduce the likelihood of soft tissue injuries in a rear-end collision. The V70 is also equipped with braking aids such as ABS and Electronic Brake Force Distribution. Security features include approach and “Home Safe” lighting to illuminate the area around and in front of the vehicle to bring attention to any hazards, such as ice.

Car Lease Information – Number One Expense People Forget About When Leasing a Car

cars canada for sale — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 11:52:00 +0000

Car leasing has been around for a bit now and if you have leased a car (or a few) there are still questions that you should always ask. Things change over time, especially at the time when you turn in your leased car and knowing things ahead of times prepares you better for the duration of your lease and afterwards.

Here are some things to think about and structure your lease accordingly:

1. How many kms (or miles, as the case may be) do you drive on a regular basis? If your driving habits are about to change because your lifestyle has changed then you need to give some that to that and compensate for it. One of the biggest charges at the end of a lease is kms overages. You can lessen that expense in a couple of wasys:

a. you can determine the amount of kms at the onset. Many people really have no idea. There are typically two lease alternatives that deal with kms. You can opt for a 20,000 km/year lease or 24,000 km/year. If you know that you won’t do over 24,000 go for it. That way you are protected. If you do less that 24,000, no you won’t get the excess back, but you will be protected.

b. half way through your lease if you know that you are going to be over, call and buy excess kms. Costs vary from brand to brand as to how much per km. This way you are paying over the remaining term as opposed to paying the lump sum at the end.

Overage on your kms (or miles) is one aspect of leasing we give no thought to during the course of our term. Only at the end do we tend to suck back and reload and realise that we have a huge bill facing us. Take the time, look at your situation as you go and if need be buy extra kms on the fly!

Car Insurance Canada – Get a Comparison Car Insurance Rate Quote

cars canada for sale — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 11:27:35 +0000

: Image by jenn.berry via Flickr

There are many people don’t bother to shop around for car insurance quotes for a lot of different reasons. You should because you may be spending more money than you have too and in this day and age the money is better in your pocket, where it belongs!

It is always a good idea to compare car insurance quotes to ensure you are getting a good deal, mainly because car insurance quotes are not equal. The difference for rates between companies for the same coverage can differ upwards of $900.The most common reasons people give as to why they didn’t shop car insurance quotes is time.

Here are some others excuses often used:

It’s too costly to get an insurance quote for my car.

There is no charge to receive a car insurance quote, regardless of whether you are calling or getting a car insurance quote online, you do NOT have to pay anything.

I don’t have the time.

Calling around may be a little time consuming, being put on hold etc, however, shopping online doesn’t. You answer a few questions and within thirty seconds you have a quote comparison of five to seven different Canadian car insurance companies. How easy is that?

I am too busy working.

Ok, totally get that, but the Internet is a 24/7 operation. If you are way too busy at work, wait until you get home and can sit and focus.

I want an agent in case I have an accident.

If you are unfortunate enough to have been involved in an accident, I can certainly appreciate the fact that you want a person to talk or go to. If you used the internet to get your car insurance, you receive a toll free number and there is no hassle and no waiting. We’ve come a long way since having to experience the waiting game.

When it’s all said and done, no one can make you take the time to see if you are paying too much for your car insurance. Wouldn’t it be good to at least have that peace of mind in knowing that you are getting a fair shake? Isn’t taking 15 or 20 mintues out of your day just to see worth it? If you have a good rate then great, now you know. If you don’t, well the money you have over paid is gone, but you can certainly save from this day forward, which is always a great thing!

Volvo XC60 Named “Family Car of The Year” by Women Journalists

cars canada for sale — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 16:09:56 +0000

The Volvo XC60 took first prize in the “Family Car of the Year” category in the first-ever Women’s World Car of the Year competition. All told, 21 cars competed in four categories when eight female motoring journalists from seven countries voted for their favourite cars.

“It is naturally immensely gratifying that women appreciate the Volvo XC60 and that our product meets their requirements. With the Volvo XC60 we feel we have truly succeeded in creating a car that appeals to many different customer groups,” says Johan Rasmusson, Car Line Manager for the Volvo XC60 and XC90 at Volvo Cars.

Over the past year, eight female motoring journalists from Britain, the USA, Canada, South Africa, India, Australia and New Zealand put 21 selected cars to the test. The group and the award were created to educate the world’s car makers about female customers’ requirements.

“We searched a long time to put together a team of female motoring correspondents qualified to vote for the winners. This was no easy task since there aren’t that many female motoring journalists,” says Sandy Myhre, jury chairperson from New Zealand.

All the winners in the four categories were recently presented in London. The Volvo XC60 won the “Family Car of the Year” category. The overall winner of the competition was the Jaguar XF.

Child-friendliness important
The cars were assessed on a wide range of criteria described as a “women- specific shopping-list”. This includes parameters such as storage space, child-friendliness, aesthetic appeal – that is to say design – and driving pleasure.

Acceleration and torque were also assessed, but were not among the top priorities. Climate impact was another factor. One of the more unusual assessment parameters was “sex appeal”. However, this was not a factor that made any major impact on the final result.

The voting procedure and the competition itself were monitored by Paul McCormick from globally renowned auditing firm Grant Thornton.

Sexiness scored low
“I assumed that women would definitely attach greater importance to properties such as value for money and child-friendliness. As the votes started adding up it became clear that factors such as sexiness and climate impact were being assessed more critically, scoring relatively low marks compared with certain other categories,” says Paul Mc Cormick.

In order to qualify for this year’s competition, the cars had to be sold in at least ten countries throughout the world and must have been available on the market between September 2008 and September 2009.
“What is most exciting for us women in the jury from all these different countries around the world is that for the first time ever, we have had the opportunity to express in our own way which cars impress us,” says Sandy Myhre.

Car Lease Payment Do I Put Money Down?

cars canada for sale — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 15:00:59 +0000

: Image by tanjila via Flickr

One of the big advantages that leasing a new car has over financing a new one is the payment. When you finance a new car you are paying for the whole car, all the taxes and fees.

With a car lease your payment is based on the amount of car you will be driving over a set period of time. You are paying taxes on a car lease, however, the taxes pertain to the payment not the car as it does when you are financing.

One big question that comes up a lot is lowering the payment by putting money down. On a finance it makes a little more sense. The whole point of financing a car is because you plan on keeping the car for a while.

For a lease and if you were at my desk, I would certainly advise you to rethink it, especially if you were planning on putting a sizeable amount down. That large sum down would be more beneficial to you if you were to finance. With a lease that money down is only lowering the payment, if you are comfortable with the payment as it is, then leave it and keep the money in your pocket where it belongs.

What You Need to Know About a Lease Buy Out

cars canada for sale — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 15:00:09 +0000

: Image by ~John~via Flickr

When your car lease is up you have two options available to you:

1. You can decide to give the car back and get into another vehicle.

2. You can decide to do a lease buy out instead where you are planning on keeping the car.

Before you make the hard-fast decision about a lease buy out, read through this so that you know what to expect and do you homework!

What Is The Lease Buy Out?

When you initially signed the lease contract you were provided with the lease buy out value … what you would have to pay for the car if you decided to keep the vehicle. Keep in mind that the value is before tax and also keep in mind that the lease buy out value is NOT negotiable. The price is the price. It doesn’t matter if this is your “x” number of vehicle with the brand, the price is the price.

What Is The Current Market Value?

One way to determine if the lease buy out value is worth it or not is to have the vehicle appraised. You already know what you have to pay for the car, so find out what it is actually worth in today’s market dollars and see if it is worth it. If you are paying more for the car than what it is actually worth, then my question to you would be “why?” Give that car back and get into something else!

Some people will consider a lease buy out because they have a ton of excess kms or excess damage and they don’t want to pay. Again, before you do that check with the Dealership. Many people I have dealt with, these are typically two of the main reasons why they are going to buy out their lease. In a lot of these situations I have been able to help them with the excess kms or damage charges, give the car back and get into a new car for not much more than what they were paying initially. It might not always be the case, but you know … it certainly is worth trying first.

What Is The Lease Buy Out Process?

If you do decide to go through a lease buy out, then this is the process:

1. Visit your Leasing Manager and let them know what you are doing
2. If you are wanting to finance the lease buy out then your Leasing Manager will have you fill out a credit application and get the approval for you. (Keep in mind that this vehicle is now considered a used car and the rates will be different than they are for new).
3. You are responsible for getting a Safety Inspection and E-Test done. Once that is completed give that paperwork to your Leasing Manager so that they can get the ownership transferred. (There is a change of ownership, from the Leasing Company to you)
4. You will need to let your Car Insurance Company know of the change as well so they can update the information on the policy
5. You’ll make an appointment with the Leasing Manager to finish off the transaction and sign the paperwork.

The process is pretty straight forward once you decide which way to go. Again, find out what alternatives you have to a lease buy out, especially if you fall into the situation of excess kms and/or damage. See what the Dealership can do for you, in terms of helping you go for a new vehicle as opposed to a lease buy out.

New Car Buying Center – Consider a Demo?

cars canada for sale — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:52:15 +0000

When people come into our dealership looking to buy a new car, a great many overlook the possibility of getting into a demo.

A demo model is one that has been driven by a sales person or management and has kms on it. How many typically depends on the dealership, you will find kms on a demo anywhere from 7,000 kms or over.

A demo that is within the same model year is still eligible for all the manufacturer programs and incentives. On top of that you can save on some of the fees like; fuel tax, air tax, PDI and freight. In some cases that could save you $1500 or more, again depending the dealer group and their policies.

It is a very viable option for you, especially if you want to benefit from the savings and don’t mind the fact that it has kms on it.

Keep that in mind when you are looking to buy a new car and don’t forget to ask the dealer if they have any demo models!

Cars Canada For Sale Volvo XC60 Wins Prestigious 2010 International Truck of the Year Award!

cars canada for sale — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:32:58 +0000

The Volvo XC60 was named 2010 International Truck of the Year by the International Car of the Year (ICOTY) jury on December 2. The award was given to Doug Speck, President and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America, LLC at the Volvo display at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show. The XC60 was chosen over 10 new crossovers, SUVs and trucks by a distinguished panel of top automotive journalists.

“This ties a very pretty bow around what’s been a truly amazing year for Volvo,” commented Speck. “The XC60 has not only been recognized by the media but it’s been extremely well received by our customers.”

The 2010 XC60 has helped VCNA earn six consecutive months of year-over-year sales increases since June.

The XC60 was chosen the winner from a panel of 19 automotive media from around the U.S. and Canada representing top newspapers, magazines and websites. The jurors must consider the ICOTY mission of “honoring vehicles that reflect an emotional connection between car and consumer lifestyles” when making their nominations.

“The ICOTY awards are not centered on power and performance,” said Courtney Caldwell, ICOTY’s creator and executive producer. “It’s about how cars reflect our personalities, lifestyles and self image, an attitude most consumers identify with.”

“This is one of the most prestigious car awards in the world and we feel very proud to receive it for our best-selling XC60″, said Stephen Odell, President and CEO Volvo Car Corporation.

Once approved by the ICOTY nominating committee, the awards jury then bases their decision on a number of important criteria: The vehicle must be new or substantially revised, it must be offered for sale to the general public by the judging deadline of November 16, 2009, and may not have been previously considered for the ICOTY Awards.

The International Truck of the Year award marks the 20th accolade the Volvo XC60 has received since sales began in Europe in late 2008. The XC60 is the first vehicle to offer City Safety as standard equipment. This unique Volvo technology can help the driver avoid frontal collisions at low speed. If the driver is about to drive into the rear of a vehicle and does not react in time, the XC60 will apply the brakes by itself.

About ICOTY: The ICOTY Awards were founded and launched in 1997 by Courtney Caldwell, editor-in-chief of Road Travel Magazine.The mission of the ICOTY Awards is to shed light on the emotional connection between cars and consumers. Awards are presented to automakers that most successfully achieve that goal through the design and marketing of their vehicles, and how well those vehicles reflect consumer lifestyles.

About VCNA:
Volvo Cars of North America, LLC (VCNA), based in Rockleigh, NJ, is a subsidiary of Volvo Car Corporation of Göteborg, Sweden. VCNA provides marketing, sales, parts, service, technology and training support to Volvo automobile retailers in the United States, and oversees Volvo operations in Canada.

One Time Lease Payment – Is It Worth It?

cars canada for sale — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:24:07 +0000

You may see this car leasing option more readily available than before. A one time lease payment is based on a set term (24, 36 or perhaps 48 months) and instead of making the monthly auto lease payment over your term, you make one payment which covers the whole term.

Now if you have the money to layout then it is certainly to your advantage because now you don’t have to make 36 monthly payments, you’ve paid already and can forget about it. The other advantage to this form of car lease payment is that typically (but not in all cases so check with the dealership) your lease interest rate can be lower.

This is still a traditional lease in that you have the option of buying the vehicle out afterwards or giving back the keys. You also are on the hook for any damages to the vehicle when you return it, or you can purchase the worry free insurance that is offered (I strongly recommend it!).

KEEP IN MIND, that typically the lease payment they are providing you will be based on a low km lease – typically 20,000 kms/year. If you do more than that you can purchase excess kms from the get go. Also understand fully if there is anything over and above taxes due at signing. Bottomline READ THE FINE PRINT in the advertisements, they tell all!!

Is a one time lease payment worth it – for sure if you want to pay a lower interest rate, if you have the cash for a one time payment then of course you drive for the set term without having to worry about making a lease payment.

Car Lease Payment

cars canada for sale — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:24:21 +0000

There are many advantages to car leasing vs car buying and one of those is of course the car lease payment.

When you lease a car you are paying for the amount of car that you are driving over a set period of time. The GST/PST that you are paying is based on the payment only. Unlike when you are buying a car outright your finance payment is based on the full amount of the car, the full taxes and the interest.

Of course the bottomline is if leasing is for you in the first place. If it doesn’t feel comfortable for you then it doesn’t matter how much a car lease payment is. Do your research and KNOW EVERYTING there is to know about leasing vs buying a car so that you have all the information you need to make an informed car buying decision!

Short Term Car Lease What Is the Shortest Term?

cars canada for sale — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:44:39 +0000

Short term car leasing is certainly pretty helpful in situations where perhaps:

1. You don’t necessarily know what type of vehicle you want to get into;

2. You aren’t sure if you want to make a full committment to a longer term because your personal situation will change due to job, etc.

It could be any number of reasons for not getting into a longer term car lease, but the option of a short term lease will certainly buy you some time to think things through.

Check and make sure what the shortest term lease is. Typically, manufacturer’s shortest term lease is 24 months. You can however check places like www.leasebusters.com and pick up a short term lease for a reasonable rate. Sometimes, depending on what you are after, there are incentives for assuming someone’s lease as well. You just have to look and read what people are offering.

New Car Extended Warranties Do I Need One?

I have seen this happen a lot, people will sit for a few hours with a car sales person negotiating on the price they will pay for their new car, yet when it comes to protecting their investment and getting new car extended warranties, they decline. I don’t quite understand the reasoning behind this, your car is the second biggest investment we make (our home being the biggest) wouldn’t you want to protect it?

One of the main reasons I hear for opting not to get extended automobile warranties is “I thought this vehicle was suppose to be a quality vehicle?” You are quite right, the vehicles on in the market today are good quality, however, consider this for a second …

Your new car has over 17,000 moving parts. If it were built 99% “perfect”, that means still 170 parts would fail during the life span of your new car. Going further if it were built 99.9% “perfect” that means 17 parts would fail during the life span of your car, and going one more step if it were built 99.99% “perfect” then 1.7 parts would fail during the lies.

That one or two parts could be something as inexpensive as a seal for $15 or an engine for $4000+. The question you need to ask yourself is … If it was a major part that went would you be able to just pop out the cash to pay for it? The more important question is doesn’t it make sense to spend money on new car extended warranties now so you can keep that $4000 where it belongs … in your pocket?

Think of extended automobile warranties as mechanical insurance for your car. It lets you expand the current manufacturer’s warranty and it covers the cost of new “manufacturer” replacement parts, plus a techs labour.

There are different types of new car extended warranties which give you a wide range of mechanical coverage based on various terms and kilometre allowances. The key is having an idea as to what you plan on doing with your new car. Are you leasing? In which case all you may need is a top up of the comprehensive warranty (bumper to bumper). If you buy your car and hang onto it for a while then you may want coverage for a longer period of time both on the comprehensive and on the powertrain. Incidentally, if you are keeping you car for a long time, there are a couple of advantages to having extended automobile warranties.

1. New car extended warranties are fully transferable to a second owner. That provides peace of mind for the new buyer AND typically those vehicles with extended automobile warranties show pride of ownership, and

2. They increase your re-sale value

The cost of repairs have increase a lot over the years. For example, in 1991 a transmission replacement would bring you an $850 repair bill, in 2003 the average repair bill was $4056 and I am very confident in saying that those rates have increased even more since then. Adding new car extended warranties to your monthly payment protects you from the rising costs.

Oh and one last point … Do you know the NUMBER 1 REASON people’s vacations are cut short?

CAR TROUBLES!
