During recessions and adverse financial climates the people of Britain have often looked to alternative methods of acquiring a car. One of these methods is to take part in a leasing deal such as Personal Contract Purchase (PCP). These leasing deals can be found through online car buying companies such as Oneswoop.com, one of the first of its kind in the UK.

Whenever a recession or ‘bad’ financial period is over though, many people tend to stick to their PCP leasing deals. This is because of how beneficial it can prove to be, something that you’re sure to agree with once you’ve taken a little look at how PCP works.

Basically it’s a long term rental of a vehicle, paid for through monthly payments. Before entering a leasing contract the price of these monthly payments are negotiated and terms are agreed upon.

It’s at these negotiations that a number of factors are assessed and it is determined what the price of your payments will be. A few influencing factors on the price are; estimated mileage, contract length, initial deposit, financing amount and the value of the vehicle at the end of the term.

There’s even advantages to be had at the end of a term as you can instantly enter another contract with a separate car of transfer ownership of the vehicle to yourself by making a final payment. As you can see PCP is a very financially beneficial option to take, and more than worth your time researching!

Car Insurance, Why Cheap isn’t always Best

Car Insurance, Why Cheap isn’t always Best

When comparing car insurance, it can be far too easy to get distracted by price and simply go for the cheapest option. However, this isn’t always the best way to go as there are far too many other considerations beyond the price of your insurance deal. Quite often many people don’t find out how good their car insurance is until they need to make a claim; at that critical point it’s not very nice at all to find out that what you thought was a good deal is not actually good enough to cover you properly.
So what are the other points you need to consider? We thought it would make a really useful post to go through some points that definitely require some thought before you commit to car insurance.

Customer Service

Good customer service is one of the things that will make your life ten times easier in the event of making a claim. If you’re unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident then you’ll want to be looked after properly and not have to go through a nightmare trying to deal with your claim. One of the best ways to find this out is to do some research online and find out some past experiences from existing customers. Most review sites will feature plenty of people reviewing insurance companies and this can be a great way to find out how efficient they are when making a claim.

Third Party vs Fully Comprehensive

One way in which many people choose to save money on their car insurance is to pay for third party insurance rather than fully comprehensive insurance. If you’re tempted to make this saving you really need to consider the potential financial risk you are putting yourself in. Third party insurance will only cover damage done to other people’s cars and property, not your own vehicle. This means that if you’re involved in an accident that is your fault; you won’t get a penny to pay for the damage to your car.

If you have a very cheap car that isn’t worth much money, then this might well be OK. However, if your vehicle has cost a large sum then you will need to make sure you can cover the cost should it be damaged. One rule of thumb is that if your car has cost more than a month’s wages, you should definitely go for fully comprehensive insurance. Of course this is different for everyone though. Honestly speaking, if you can afford to pay for fully comprehensive insurance you should definitely do it.

Personal Injury

You also need to think about what might happen if you suffer injury from a car accident and need to take time off from work. If your cheap insurance package doesn’t cover personal injury, you might end up in financial difficulty should you suffer an injury. This is all about making sure you read the small print, and finding out exactly what and how much you are covered for. If you are self employed or live in a country where you need to pay for health insurance, the personal injury section of your car insurance policy becomes even more important.

Legal Costs

Another thing that ‘cheap’ insurance packages sometimes miss is legal expenses insurance. Should you end up in a situation where you have to pay legal fees, you really do want to have some insurance in place to help you cover the costs. Legal expenses can get extremely costly; to the point where un prepared people can end up facing bankruptcy. If you think you may be at risk from such a situation, the small amount you pay for this extra cover is well worth it in the long run.

5 Top Towing Vehicles

5 Top Towing Vehicles

When trying out a tow vehicle most people will take the opportunity to go for a 5 minute test drive but they probably won’t even get out of third gear. This is just simply not enough information on which to base a decision about a tow vehicle because they need to be packed with power to carry that extra weight. Every aspect down to how easy it is to change the bearings needs to be considered because your tow vehicle will take a beating from everything you ask it to do. Choosing one with the right level of power that can be maintained with a UTE Toolbox will be far better than investing in one which requires a service to get the oil changed.

This article will consider the results of a test on 5 vehicles over a full day of towing. Each vehicle was towing 2300kg of caravan and the results are very surprising:

5. Nissan Patrol

Having been around for a long time, the Nissan Patrol was expected to perform well but it was surprisingly disappointing. Despite its large size, the vehicle really lacked the ability to provide the necessary power. The drive was very bumpy and the general comfort of the vehicle seemed nice at first but ended up lacking after a long period.

The frustrating GPS appears to be a touch screen but is actually operated by remote control, as if you couldn’t reach it from the driver’s seat. The size of the vehicle meant there was never any risk of losing control of the caravan and the handling was good. The real let down for this vehicle was the lack of power from the engine, even with the power button on.

4. Ford Fairmont GHIA

The Ford Fairmont is a 2WD option which was tested because many caravan owners do not own a 4WD. The car actually turned out to be a good option with plenty of power and a towing capacity of 2300kg. The low ride made the journey more comfortable but the caravan was not as stable as it was with the other vehicles. It was never a danger but it just wasn’t as stable. All in all the Fairmont GHIA turned out to be an excellent towing vehicle considering it was the only 2WD option.

3. Toyota Prado

The Prado looks perfect in every aspect but it has been overly softened and has become more of a shopping car than a towing vehicle. The ride is too jumpy to tow comfortably and it just didn’t have the punch expected of it. Whilst the drive was comfortable, it was difficult and required a lot of concentration to maintain revs properly.

2. Toyota LandCruiser

The LandCruiser was always expected to do well and it really did. It had the best power and stability. It was also the fastest to reach 100km, however, there were limitations to the vehicle. Vision was often impaired by the structure of the vehicle and the fuel consumption was far too high. Whilst this is a very comfortable drive which can outstrip almost anything in a towing competition, it is not a practical day to day car as well.

1. Mitsubishi Pajero Exceed

Everything about the drive of this vehicle was impressive. From the visibility to the adjustability of the driver’s seat, everything was built for comfort and usability. The drive was very good with enough power, good handling and good stability.

This car can also easily be translated into a day to day shopping vehicle without any discomfort. Looking for something that wasn’t good about this vehicle only turned up the difficulty to locate fuel release, but I imagine you’d soon learn where it is. This car is an excellent towing vehicle and a comfortable drive for everyday use.
