Get the right car for the right price

Advantages: Helps you save money, and very easy to work
Disadvantages: Can't really find any

...Hi Find ing the right used car for the right price can somtimes be a bit of a problem, This is were parkers comes in, i work in the car auction industry and for private buyers the whole process can be a little bit scary, parkers offer you the chance to check out what price you should be paying for used cars it rates the prices in order with the condition of the vehicles So always check the fluid levels on a used car , such as the water and the oil in the engine make sure its not creamy, the means the head gasket has gone and it will cost nbetween £200 and £500 pounds, depending on the make of car you choose as well as checking the car for damage such as dents and rust So check the condition and then match it with the guide in parkers stick to your limit and don't go over it, i have seen people getting carried away and spending...

Review of Parker's Used,New & Trade Car Price Guide

You don't have to pay the list price for a car.

Advantages: By shopping around you may get a better deal
Disadvantages: Can be time consuming and we lose out to the Europeans again!

...Car prices have been in the headlines again as dealers brace themselves for a predicted onslaught of customers wanting the new registration format in September. We are constantly being told that we are paying through the nose for new cars in this country whilst the rest of Europe drive around in identical vehicles for less money. Looking at the economics of the situation we should be paying more for our vehicles as we are an island nation and transportation costs need to be factored into the equation. But hang on... lots of cars are, or used to be, made here and we ship them out. Then there are the cries of "it is just the Government benefiting from the taxes raised through new car sales". True, our taxes are high but they are not the highest it Europe. I am a firm believer that despite some obvious benefits of tax...

Car okay - Price incorrect - Ignores my communication attempts

Advantages: Car was okay, worked without problem
Disadvantages: Incorrect price; Company seems to be unwilling to correct; Doesn't answer e-mails

...We rented a car from budget (online, via reseller). We got the right car without problems and didn't have to wait very long. The was clean and worked without problems while we had it. So far everything was fine. What's unacceptable is that Budget seems to be unwilling to accept the price that we booked and charger a higher price. When renting the car we were promised that it would be fixed by the time that we're back. It wasn't and nobody heard of it. In the past 8 weeks Budget didn't give me any real answer about this totally ignored my e-mails about the status. And instead charged my credit card a price that's EVEN HIGHER than the already incorrect one! I'll never ever again rent a car from Budget....

The Price is cheap -----------real cheap!

Advantages: Shes nearly finished!
Disadvantages: Chav hag

...and exhibit her body to make money to pay for the kids but I suspect most people don't think that is an acceptable lifestyle to care for a child in high care. Jordan doesn't make her fortune from her looks and sex appeal but her notoriety. She has to be out and contradicting the life of a responsible mother, her alta ego Katie Price, to make her millions. This sells advertising space in lifestyle magazine and the tabloids. Is it any wonder we create 17,000 single teen moms a year if these kids think her lifestyle is real? Of late Jordan has tried to distance herself from the busty 'chav hag' by claiming to be her alta ego Katie Price, her real name, and the name she sells her books under. The silicone incubator test lab is apparently not the real Katie Price, according to Price. She feels she has the right to distance herself from her hideous...

Review of Katie Price

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc. What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100. How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable. Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby. It comes with a head hugger which makes it cosy and safe for a newborn. This headhugger can be removed revealing much...

Budget car hire, budget prices & budget staff

Advantages: Prices, good cars, clean cars
Disadvantages: Counter staff, added charges

...I have used Budget car hire on a number of occasions from Belfast International Airport over the years. I usually book through an on-line agent called 'Auto Europe' who provide very competitive rates & discounts for regular use. The service provide by Budget staff is at best patchy. I normally book insurance in advance to protect my excess wavier of £600 which Budget charges anything up to £17.50 a day for. My on line charge works out at £3.80 a day for the same cover, when you decline it from the Budget staff they do get a bit tetchy, I guess they must get a percentage from the booking. One day I refused their excess protection & so then they added 'cross border' insurance for travelling to Dublin with. When I queried this charge, again they become very tetchy. I stated that each time I used Budget they ask me where I'm travelling...

Avoid Rip-off New Car Prices

Advantages: Big Savings, Professional and Helpful Service
Disadvantages: None really

...For those of you who are thinking of buying a new car then I would like to introduce you to a way of avoiding paying the over-inflated UK prices and that is to import your own car. I had heard before that it was much cheaper to import a car from Europe than to buy it here but I always thought that it meant travelling to Europe to pick it up and lots of complicated paperwork for the import process. However, more recently a number of car importing agents have appeared on the web which make the process a lot easier than you might imagine. So when my company decided it was no longer going to give me a company car I was faced with the prospect of taking my allowance and buying my own. I wanted to get a good car that would last and as I had been well impressed by driving one before I decided to go for a Saab. At first I looked through...

Dirt cheap car hire in new cars

Advantages: Car hire is dirt cheap & you get new cars.
Disadvantages: Prices are in euros

...In May of 2004 I went on holiday to Marbella in Spain. As we had booked our accommodation and flight separate, we didn't have the transfers included and didn't want to spend a fortune on taxis. I did a search on the internet and found a site through Google called 'best price rent a car'. It was easy to navigate through the booking process. I just clicked on the location of my pick up and the dates that I wanted the car hire for and the system searched for the best prices available. It even gave me several choices of car provider and the prices that they offer. I opted for a car provider called 'Benelux' and as there were only two us and I am a bit tight, reserved a three door Ford Ka with no air con. I did not have to make any payment at the time of booking, which gave me more time to save. I just printed out the reservation form...

Review of Best Price Rent A Car

great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

...I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed once your baby is big enough. The straps also can be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Quality Cars at very cheap prices.

Advantages: Some very cheap, very nice cars.
Disadvantages: Some very cheap dreadfull cars, in very bad condition.

...My first experience of using the auctions to buy a car was when I was 14 and I was looking for a project to work on, I bought a Citroen AX, it was an MOT failure but still had six months tax. I paid £60 for the car, drove it home, spent a month or so tidying it up, got it through an MOT, with the help of my dad, and sold it, taxed and MOT'd for £450. I made a good profit on that car because I went early to the auction and spent a couple of hours looking through the cars with a trained mechanic until I found the one I had my heart set on. I went to the auctions and was prepared to spend £2000 on the citroen and I was shocked when I got it for only £60. I would recommend the auctions to people from all walks of life, looking for a good quality, cheap car. I would recommend you go to the auction at least 1 hour before the bidding...
