5 Tips for Increasing the Lifespan of a Car’s Tyres

As expensive pursuits go, the cost of running and maintaining a vehicle is already one of the most costly expenditures most people have. Saving money on your vehicles upkeep doesn’t have to impact on safety, and in fact, those who ensure their vehicle is well-maintained will eventually save money in the long term. Here are 5 tips on how to increase the lifespan of your car's tyres with car tyre maintenance anyone can perform.

1. Checking Tyre Alignment

One of the very best ways to lengthen the lifespan of your vehicle's tyres is to get an alignment check done at your local service centre. When tyres are misaligned, the physical tread of the tyre will wear down quicker on one side than the other. This means that your tyres may be perfectly fine on the outside, but not on the inside toe, leading to a safety hazard that could be both expensive and dangerous.

Wheel alignment is not usually something the average motorist will be able to do as it requires the car to be jacked up in order to realign the wheels. Your local Mitsubishi service centre will be able to handle the wheel alignment with ease and the costs involved may well be covered by an extended warranty or service agreement.

2. Check Your Tyre Pressure

Tyre pressure plays an important role in determining how comfortable the ride is, how safely you will be able to drive as well as help improve your mileage on the road. Driving your vehicle with improper pressure in the tyres will leave your vehicle susceptible to these issues, and may have a drastic effect on how the car handles on the road.

Tyre manufacturers and road safety guides always say that you should check your tyre pressure before every journey. Whilst this may sound like an extra hassle in the real world, many people buy simple tyre pressure gauges that are similar in size to a USB stick and carry it with them in their vehicle. There is no short cut to safety when it comes to long road trips, so a little car tyre maintenance will go a long way.

3. Don’t Overload Your Vehicle

Overloading your vehicle has an impact on the way your tyres will be able to react on the road and could impact on how the car handles overall. If a car exceeds its maximum payload capability, dangers start to fall into place when it comes to stopping distance, tyre instability when cornering as well as the increased risk of puncture.

Take care to learn about the maximum load capability of your vehicle which you will be able to find in your service manual, as well as any documentation that came with your tyre purchase.

4. Adapt Your Driving Style

One of the simplest ways to improve your car tyre lifespan is to adapt your driving style to take care of the tyres more. Even Formula 1 racers learn quickly that to keep their tyres in the best condition they need to brake gently and early, as well as accelerate and corner fluidly. Take care to ease the vehicle into motion and corner without excessive speed will greatly improve your tyres health overall, as well as increase the time between tyre changes or repairs.

5. Replace Your Tyres If You See Any Damage

Don’t drive on bald tyres and if you see any wear and tear then take note and get your tyres inspected. Whilst the wear on the exterior of your tyres may be minimal, there might be other things going on inside them. Tyres can be damaged by exposure to weather, especially in extreme conditions such as heat and ice. If you see any signs of cracking on your tyres’ sidewall then get them inspected by your local Mitsubishi garage. If you are in any doubt about the health of your tyres, let the professionals take care of inspection and replacement if need be.

Mitsubishi car maintenance can be tricky to carry out but with the right approach, you can be well on your way to ensuring your vehicle is working well, running smooth and most importantly, safe. If you feel that the technical aspect of inspection is a little too technical, invest some time in finding a respectable garage or Mitsubishi service centre that you can have a conversation about your vehicle, and what you need to do to keep it in tip top order.

5 Essential Car Cleaning Tips

Your car goes everywhere you go and looks after you in times of trouble. Taking care of your car and keeping it running smooth will both prolong its lifetime and not leave you needing a cab. But cleaning your car is an essential task that you must regularly perform to also enhance the longevity of your vehicle, as well as keeping it looking spic and span for the years to come.

Most people don’t realize that things like mud, dirt, and grit from the road can have a very negative effect on your vehicle's condition. Just because it may only be a little dirty, those pieces of mud, grit and dirt are slowly adding to the build-up of rust on your car, as well as getting in places where water damage may do some harm. Following these 5 essential cleaning tips will end up saving you money in the long term, as well as giving you a sparkling clean car to drive around in.

Cleaning Your Batteries

One way to ensure that your batteries are working in good condition and that you won’t have any trouble with your car not starting is to try to remove the corrosion on the battery terminals. This can be done rather simply and quickly by using a little baking soda to help remove the corrosion. Always be careful about touching the contacts with any metal, and ensure that rust powder or debris is removed from the battery terminals and is fully dry when finishing up.

Cleaning Your Windows

 

When cleaning your windows it is wise never to use any type of extremely rough cleaning tool as it can damage and scratch your windshield. You can use a mix of soap and water to clean off the dirt and grime that has built up with ease, but for a better finish to get your windshield gleaming, you can use a little ammonia mix in your cleaning water to help really get every spot and speck off your windshield with ease.

Cleaning Your Seats

 

Depending on what type of material your car seats are made out of it could be easier than you think to keep them clean and fresh. If you have fabric seats, use as little water as possible to clean them, and try using some of the available dry powder cleaning methods to help absorb odors and bring a little freshness to your seats. If you have leather seats then there is a number of cleaning products you can use, as well as a little dab of water and soap to bring them back to life.

Cleaning Your Heel Arches and Bumpers

 

One of the essential car care tips you need to do when cleaning your car is to take care of the parts of your car you don’t often see. Your wheel arches collect a lot of dirt, grime, tar and oil in the process of driving, so taking care of these important parts of your car will reduce any rusting or further damage. Clean with a pressure hose and soap to really get out the dirt and grime and let dry naturally.

Cleaning Your Paint Work and Car Polish

 

Washing a car with water and soap is one of the best ways to ensure that your car’s paintwork is in pristine condition. Waxing and further attention to your body work will help protect the paint on the surface, as well as keep your car looking brand new if you ever feel the need to resell at a later date. You can use hair conditioner as a cheap alternative to waxing, and by drying naturally will, in fact, leave your car in great condition without all of the heavy hand work.

Ensuring your car is in perfect condition will extend the working life of your vehicle. Whilst maintaining your car yourself should be done on a regular basis, getting your car serviced is also a necessity. If you ever need original Mitsubishi parts and accessories for your vehicle, find a local garage or servicing specialist that will be able to provide you with the original parts for your vehicle, keeping you on the road, down the road.

4 Of The Fastest Mitsubishi Cars Of All Time

With a long, successful history, Mitsubishi has built and released vehicles of all kinds including people movers, small cars, family vehicles and of course, sports cars. While they all have their specific purposes and appeal to different kinds of people in different circumstances, there’s no doubt that the cars that turn the most heads tend to be the sleek, speedy 2-door sports cars. Mitsubishi has released its share of fast cars in the past 40+ years; let’s take a look at some of our favourites below!

Lancer Evolution

You might or might not be surprised to know that the Lancer Evolution is by far and away the fastest car Mitsubishi has built. Always one of the top performing rally cars on the circuit, the Evolution obviously comes in many different forms and they are many models on the market.

The Lancer Evo GSR 2011 is one that comes to mind; with 215 kilowatts of power, this model can accelerate from 0-100 in just 4.3 seconds.

Lancer Ralliart

  

The Mitsubishi Lancer’s dominance as far as fast Mitsubishi’s car is illustrated by the fact that out of the top 10 fastest released to the market, Lancer models account for 9 of them. The only non-Evo in the top 9 is the widely praised Ralliart.

The cousin of the more talked-about and more-expensive Evolution, the Lancer Ralliart is not to be underestimated. The 2009 model goes from 0-100 in just 5.4 seconds.

The latest 2015 Lancer Ralliart is currently on the market and is worth a look for those on the hunt for an exhilarating performance vehicle. With a 2.0 litre, 177kW engine and excellent handling to boot, this is one of the highest-selling sports cars in its class.

3000GT Spyder VR-4

1995’s high-powered, turbocharged Spyder is one for the ages when it comes to fast cars. Racing from 0-100 in roughly 5.1 seconds, this sleek, 6-speed all-wheel driver is extremely rare today but it left its mark as one of the fastest cars and most powerful (238kW) Mitsubishi ever released. As an aside, the convertible was infamous for its slow folding roof, which took around 24 seconds. As well as being fast, in our opinion it was really something to look at too!

Eclipse

The Eclipse range is rather varied with quite a few models being released in its lifeline between 1989-2011. A compact sports car, the Eclipse has been associated with drag racing and the 1995 model, in fact, made an appearance in the first film in 'The Fast and the Furious' series. With the third-generation Eclipse, Jett Racing have the record for the world’s fastest 4-cylinder car, as this monster recorded a top speed of 358km/h and completed a quarter-mile in just 6.57 seconds. While this model was heavily done up and worked on, you can see just how much potential the Eclipse had.


Mitsubishi has released catalogue of award-winning Mitsubishi cars and continues to provide some of the very best in terms of comfort, performance and versatility. Check out the full range on offer at Chadstone Mitsubishi.

The Mitsubishi Challenger Review

The Mitsubishi Challenger was launched to much acclaim in 1996 for its tough build quality, its rugged looks and its promise to deliver in terms of performance and handling. It led to further enhancements along its range and with updated engines, enhanced technology and all the creature comforts you’d expect of a vehicle of this kind, the second generation launched in 2008 and built on its previous model's success.

This latest generation of Mitsubishi Challenger digs deep into the ethos behind the original model, offering a rugged, all-terrain vehicle that is able to handle the most rugged of terrain, as well as the smooth tarmac of the city streets. The Challenger offers both a 2.5 and a 3.2-litre diesel engine as well as an outstanding 3.0 and 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine that provides a workhorse like a powertrain to keep you rolling in even the toughest environments.

Available In A Range Of Configurations And Extras

 

Available in either 5 seats or 7 seat configurations, the Challenger offers a wide range of people a powerful vehicle that can handle the rough with the tumble as a personal as well as a commercial vehicle, the Challenger sits at the top of the list of similar vehicles in its class.

The 2015 model is Mitsubishi’s greatest yet, with a full five-star ANCAP rating and priced at A$49,000 you are still getting a lot of bang for your buck with this reliable, durable all wheeler. With plenty of room in the interior, you will be able to fit all of the family and their luggage, or alternatively your work colleagues and their toolkits in a comfortable ride.

Spacious Cabin And Ample Rear Space

 

The cabin provides plenty of comfort with ample room for anyone of any size with plenty of legs and head room. The ride height ensures you great visibility of the road ahead which is important on the city streets and vital in off-road situations.

Due to the long wheelbase, the ample room in the back seats followed by the luggage space is huge, allowing you to pack plenty of luggage, shopping or even a couple of large dogs. The large floor space is one of the key features of a long wheelbase model, and the Mitsubishi Challenger does not disappoint.

An Intelligent 4WD System

 

The outstanding model in the series to choose from appears to be the Super Select 4WD version available in the LS model. This allows the vehicle to smartly drive in High Range 4WD and allows the car to figure out what surface it is rolling on.

This allows anyone to get out of a tricky off-road situation without a lot of fuss, especially on loose surfaces. Unlike its rivals, the Mitsubishi Challenger can be left in 4WD all of the time, leaving you free to enjoy your on-road and off-road adventures with ease.

Featuring a 2.5 litre, 4 cylinders turbocharged diesel engine, the LS model features a fuel usage of 9.8 litres per 100km which is pretty reasonable for a vehicle of this size and power. The LS variant produces 131kW of power and 350nM of torque which is plenty to pull a mid-sized boat trailer or similar.

The 2015 Mitsubishi Challenger is the best of the bunch when it comes to simple, robust, reliable and rugged multi-function utility or family vehicles in this price range and offers a host of benefits to tempt many. With ample leg room, huge rear luggage space and a clever 4WD system that takes the bumps out of the most rugged of terrain, this Mitsubishi Challenger is currently head of the pack.

How to Choose the Right Tyres for Your Car

When it comes to road safety, economical driving and fuel efficiency, tyres are the first port of call for those wishing to make the most out of their driving experience. As important as the engine itself, the tyres take the brunt of your journey and give you the best possible ride from A to B, but what kind are best for your vehicle? 

Choosing the right type of tyres for your car doesn’t have to be confusing, as there are specific tyres created for specific purposes. Depending on where you live and the climate you live in, the right tyres for your car can be found in your vehicle's manual, which allows you to keep check of your correct tyre pressure and health as part of your regular maintenance check-up.

There are a number of factors that determine which type of tyre your vehicle requires, which include:

• Vehicle weight
• Vehicle size
• Vehicle type
• Vehicle Use

The most important factor is in fitting the right size tyre for your vehicle. If your tyres are rated for less a value as instructed in your vehicle's manual you will put your tyres under strain in terms of weight which will mean your tyres will wear out faster and give you a little chance in terms of braking ability and manoeuvring ability in corners.

Purchase Original Equipment Tyres For Your Vehicle

One of the easiest ways of choosing car parts and accessories especially tyres is to use an OE tire (original equipment) sold by many car servicing outlets that are produced for your specific car. OE tires are the original tyres fitted to your car by the factory, and so choosing the original tyre for your specific car is a simple and easy way of maintaining your vehicle.

If you wish to upgrade to a different tyre, you can take into account the type of driving style you have to help with cornering, traction, sporty driving and other performance characteristics. If you make frequent long journeys, for example, hard wearing and long lasting tyres are a better choice than super grip sporty tyres that will wear down faster on longer journeys.

In some parts of the world where temperatures frequently drop below 7c, a set of winter tyres would work best for that climate. In areas where very high temperatures are common, your tyres will take the heavy stress and will need to be more flexible and durable in these conditions.

Understanding Tyre Codes

Tyre codes are the numbers printed on the sidewalls of each tyre that gives specific information relating to a number of factors that a driver or fitter needs in choosing the correct tyre for their vehicle. This information holds a code that relates to specific regulations and testing results relating to the maximum speed of the tyre in safe usage, its load-bearing ability as well as the tyres key limitations.

The codes have come into line with strict testing and legal regulations but have grown with a number of manufacturers adding additional information on the tyre such as its traction rating, temperature resistance as well as tread wear ratings. Tyre sizes are given in ISO metric ratings; whereas some sports utility vehicles and light trucks use the LTHF or light truck high flotation rating system.

Quality Rating and Tyre Pressures

For a quick way to upgrade your vehicle's tyres, simply note the tyre codes on your vehicle and then opt for the same tyre code with additional features such as a harder wearing tyre, a tyre that allows more grip or traction. Purchasing AA graded tyres ensure their quality and will last you longer when your driving style is taken into account.

Whatever type you choose for your favourite Mitsubishi car, you should always take note of the official documentation on how to correctly inflate it. Inflation levels are printed on the sidewall of the tyre itself, and by sticking to these pressure levels you will get the most out of your driving experience.

Always change your tyre before it wears too thin and takes into account the wear pattern on the tyre to inform you of other issues relating to wheel alignment that could also arise to keep you motoring on safely and comfortably.

The Mitsubishi Mirage 2015 in Review

Not often does a car come along that succeeds at standing out from the crowd, and does it well? The all-new 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage has managed to be able to capture everyone’s attention and is certainly turning heads everywhere it is seen. This versatile Mitsubishi car offers a tardis-like compactness that other manufacturers have failed to deliver on and allows both drivers and passengers ample room inside such a tiny interior.

Image: cars.axlegeeks.com

The first thing that you notice about the Mitsubishi Mirage is its compact size. It sits somewhere between a subcompact and a micro car but offers the versatility of being a 5-door hatchback. Due to its size and powertrain, the Mirage has a fuel economy that has electric vehicles running scared, and for that reason alone, the Mirage is a formidable addition to the Mitsubishi range.

Quick, Responsive Handling

As you would expect from such a small car, the handling is nippy and at low speeds is definitely fun to drive. It features sensitive steering that allows you to feel the road better than a much larger car ever would, but with such a small engine inside, don’t expect anything too sporty from it.

This Mitsubishi car was built for small road trips, with five doors and ample room inside, those short breaks with a small family make this the ideal city runner in most circumstances. Its snappy handling at lower, city speeds makes it perfect for an everyday car to commute with, especially considering its fuel economy.

Impressive Fuel Economy

Its lofty fuel economy rating of 44mpg makes it one of the most fuel efficient cars, not only of its class but of any car on the road today. Only beaten out by a few electric cars on the market, this car is the perfect addition to any family on a budget, as well as younger drivers – especially young female drivers, and here is why.

The only colours available for this car may seem a little cutesy for many mature tastes, and as Mitsubishi have tried to tailor specific cars to a specific audience in the past, the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage is no different. It seems all too obvious that this Mitsubishi car is aimed at a younger female, but as far as the car itself is concerned, that targeted audience would be more than pleased be its performance, handling, looks and fuel economy.

Additional Extras and Upgrade Kits Abound

The 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage is a great little car that does the job it was meant to do perfectly. As a city car, the fuel economy alone is enough for this car to sell by the bucket loads, and when you add to that the additional extras that come at reasonable prices into the mix, the Mirage is a superbly priced car that is far more imaginative than meets the eye.

Why not take a test drive of the latest 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage at your local Mitsubishi dealership today to take advantage of the great offers available across the line. There is a large range of added extras included on the Mirage, as well as a huge range of upgrade packs to tailor the car to your liking. The Mitsubishi Mirage is a compact, sleek, fuel saving and stylish car, which includes all of the creatures comforts a wise car buyer needs to enjoy a fun and nifty driving experience. Here are some tips to keep you on the road.

A Look At The Mitsubishi Outlander 2015

If you are looking for a new utility vehicle in 2015 that packs power, agility, and fuel economy into a rugged all-wheel drive frame, then the new 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander may be the ideal Mitsubishi car for you. Unlike many production vehicles, the Mitsubishi Outlander 2015 variant takes a dramatic shift in styling compared to the previous model, but does the car match up to the performance of the earlier models?

The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander is available in a range of variants as you’d expect, so choosing the right model for you may depend on performance, fuel economy as well as drive train options. There are two 2WD versions, the LS which is a 2.0L Petrol driven, five-door available in manual or automatic, and the XLS 2.0L petrol driven, CVT automatic.

A Full Range of Drive-Train Options

Further up the range, you get the first AWD version in the shape of the LS 2.4L Petrol engine in CVT automatic and the EXCEED 2.4L Petrol five-door CVT Automatic. The Diesel versions are at the higher end of the range and include the XLS DiD 2.3L turbo diesel with a 6-speed automatic gearbox and the top of the range EXCEED DiD 2.3L turbo diesel five-door variant with 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Within the range, you can expect to find the regular extras and upgrade packages to customise your vehicle the way you see fit, as well as exterior style packages, interior style packs, interior protection packs as well as the obligatory towing and adventure packs we have come to expect from Mitsubishi. The car itself comes with a fantastic 10-year or 100,000Km warranty.

Smart-key Access and a Revamped Interior

The Outlander features a passive smart key system that utilises the buttons on the driver and passenger door handles to lock and unlock the car without the use of the key. The car detects that the keyfob is near and so no key is needed, offering ease of use with added security.

On the interior, the new design has improved to bring with it a more modern feel and in line with other similar cars of its class. With a newly designed steering wheel and central dashboard, many of the best features of the car are easier to reach than ever. The steering wheel layout has changed to give access to all of the necessary buttons for radio, telephone, and information, keeping it within reach of your fingertips at all times.

Noise Reduction and a Quieter Engine

Mitsubishi has made over 39 improvements to the noise, vibration, and handling of the ride and it certainly makes a difference in all of those areas. The new Outlander is a much quieter ride and offers a distinct difference when compared to older models, making for a much more comfortable ride for families.

There has been an extensive implementation of noise reduction and soundproofing on the interior of the car, and when you add that to the overall reduction in noise from the engine and the exhaust, the new 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander feels like a different beast altogether.

A Popular Model With Families

The New 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander is a great utility vehicle, family car and off-road vehicle for those areas of the country that have a balance of nice clean tarmac and a little dusty road adventure to them. Be sure to take a test drive in the new 2015 model Mitsubishi Outlander to not miss out on one of the best all-rounders money can buy in this category.

A Fond Farewell to a Rallying Legend

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution broke onto the scene in 1992 to great reception for its high-performance sports car abilities. Known commonly as the EVO by its huge following, the car defined an era of rallying, car tuning and car modification like no other.

In a statement earlier this year, Mitsubishi announced an end to the manufacturing of the legendary model, with no plans to introduce a successor. Let’s look at some of the highlights of this iconic machine throughout the years.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was one of many cars in the early 90s that were targeted at bringing all of the thrills and excitement of a sports car to the general public. With a retail price that fitted in with many similar 4-door sedans, the EVO bridged the gap between much more expensive performance sedans found in Europe with the exciting new look and feel of the growing tuning movement in Japan.

From Humble Beginnings, a Legend is Born

The Mitsubishi EVO started out as a highly tuned version of Mitsubishi’s Galant VR-4 model with its turbocharged 20.L engine and AWD drive train making the grade. Available in both GSR and RS variants, with the latter being stripped of many features including electric windows, anti-lock brakes, and steel wheels to make it 70KG lighter than its counterpart.

The evolution continued along its successful stint as an affordable performance car, with entry into the world rally championship to prove its worthiness as a true performance beast. With multiple championships came an even greater following in the tuning and car modification market to create an icon in the making throughout the rest of the world.

Revolutionary Improvements to a Classic Chassis

With the introduction of the EVO IV, the brand, image and iconic nature of the Mitsubishi car had firmly tightened its grip amongst motoring enthusiasts. Mitsubishi introduced a number of technological improvements in the car, including an active YAW control, a two different LSD units, an 180-degree turn of the engine to give greater balance to the vehicle, as well as improving power throughout the car.

The Affordable Supercar for the Masses

With the introduction of the EVO VIII Mitsubishi really found its target audience. Sales of the car were at an all-time high, and models were quickly being sold out as soon as production was complete.

With more changes made to increase the power of the engine, finely tuned brake systems, a suspension overhaul and improved aerodynamic and weight differences meant the new EVO VIII had delved into the realm of supercar speeds.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X is the tenth and final installment of the most popular and iconic cars of the past decade. A fitting tribute to one of the most talked about cars in the rallying scene, and a true legend when it comes to tuning and “modding”. The final installment of the EVO legend may have come to an end, but the legend will continue for years to come.

5 Key Tips on Choosing the Perfect Mitsubishi Dealership

Buying a new car can often be one of the most frustrating tasks in modern times – enough to drive you round the bend. With so many new and used cars to choose from, finding the ideal Mitsubishi car to suit your needs may be the least of your worries. Finding affordable financing options as well as warranty and servicing plans will play a key role in finding the perfect Mitsubishi dealership. Melbourne is home to one of the best Mitsubishi car dealers in the continent, so setting a standard that others can only follow gives you a baseline of quality to look out for.

1. The Initial Cost Factor

We are all after an affordable car to run, but it is the initial outlay of costs that makes purchasing a new car feel daunting. Financing comes in to save the day, with multiple options available over the course of a short period of time or for a few years to come. Whilst finding a loan at your bank might be harder than it used to be, choosing a financing package at your local Mitsubishi dealership could offer you a great Mitsubishi finance deal.

Once you have paid the initial deposit, you will be able to sign a financing agreement that allows you to pay for your vehicle over a number of months or even years. Most dealers offer several different financing options to choose from, giving you a chance to shop around after getting a quote. The perfect dealership will be able to offer you multiple financing options with added extras and upgrades on the more worthwhile deals.

2. The Range Of Cars On Offer

It may well be a great way to bring in customers by specialising in one particular model of car, but real choice comes from a range. Choosing a Mitsubishi dealership that offers a range of new and used Mitsubishi cars, as well as a facility for upgrades, repairs and service is a great start. Whilst you may think that a smaller dealer may be able to offer a more personalised service, the larger dealerships can offer a much greater choice all-around.

3. An Official Licensed Dealership

Buying a new or used Mitsubishi car from an officially licensed Mitsubishi dealership has many benefits attached to it. Not only are you guaranteed that regular services and repairs that may need to be carried out in the future are going to be of high quality, official Mitsubishi dealerships can offer a range of Mitsubishi spare parts that are made specifically for each part needed. The parts you buy will fit perfectly, and will often carry a warranty or guarantee for the parts and labour.

4. Local Service, Friendly Staff And Superior Knowledge

Many people choose to buy their car from a local dealership because of that simple fact: they are local. Local folk is more likely to understand the needs of the surrounding areas better, the types of vehicles that are popular as well as understanding the economy of the local area. Financing options may be geographically based to not allow the local community to be priced out of the car market.

5. The Deals Of The Day

Whilst friendly service and a great range of cars to choose from may be a factor that changes your mind, stand-out deals play a big role in finding a great price on your new car. As long as you read all of the small print and understand the financing options available to you, some of those great deals can be found all across the country. Keep an eye out for extended warranty and guarantees, as well as all-inclusive parts and service packages to keep you on the road and enjoying your new car.
