On sites like this you can check the suggested retail price for the used vehicle by simply putting in the cars information into the sites and you will get the price, make sure you are not paying over the price they give you. After you have done that you need to check the cars past, to see if it has been in any accidents, or any other bad experiences. One site you can check the car’s history is on is CarFax. Another thing you can do is check if the car is being sold by a dealer, or a person; If a person is selling the car you are probably getting a better a better deal then if a dealer is selling it because a dealer bought it from a person and is selling it for a higher price.

Since the car you are buying is used its different. You should always buy a car that is known to have high quality, that way the car will last longer.

May 15th, 2008Audi Q7 : The 2008 Model

2008 Audi Q7The German producer, Audi revealed in the first quarter of 2008 the first Audi SUV : The Q7. It takes a little of time to Audi to reveal this new model, so it will have to impress if it wants to gain some buyers.  Is it possible?  Let’s check.  First, in the US, this model is vailable with two engines.  The V6 ( it puts out 280 HP) and the V8 wich have a reasonable amount of get up and go.  350 HP surely would get you moving better, but the Q7 has an incredible 5467 lbs to push around. Yeah. That right there is my single largest complaint; nearly 5500 pounds is entirely too much for a vehicle of this size.

2008 Audi Q7 InteriorIf Audi offered the great twin-turbo diesel option in the US, things wouldn’t be the same.  Sure, the weight would still be there ( even more so actually, as diesel engines are very heavy ), but it wouldn’t matter.  See, 550 lb-ft of couple make you ignore the measly 5500+ lbs. Things like weight just don’t have a big imapct when you have such an unlimited pool of torque at your disposal.  Audi does have an even more ridiculously powerful diesel engine in the works for the next Q7; a V12 rumored to put out 500 horses.
