Everyone who drives wants to be behind the wheel of a luxury car. Luxury brands like Mercedes Benz, Porsche, and Audi make vehicles that have high-quality features and are extremely pleasing to the senses. These are not the only manufacturers of luxury cars. Companies like Hyundai and Toyota also have high-end luxury models. Associating luxury brands with a name like Mercedes Benz is still an American fixation, but around the world that is slowly changing. Manufacturers build a range of vehicles, from economy to luxury, and people are learning to recognize luxury as separate from the brand name.

With so much said about luxury vehicles, owning one is still a distant dream for most, unless you do the math, buy one with a hefty loan, and sell it in a few years, when the market value is still appreciable. Another option is to buy used luxury cars that are in good condition. Finding a company that not only sells you luxury cars, but also provides related services such as shipping, car certification, car warranty, as well as attractive service contracts and financial assistance would all do make the whole project more meaningful.

Prices are a fraction of the current model price, and models are up to ten years old. For example, a 2007 Acura TL is available for around $ 7,500, while the current 2017 model is priced close to $ 35,000 at a dealership showroom. Acura is the brand of cars manufactured by Honda in Japan. Most cars have low mileage and are in good condition, although it may be worth reminding the buyer that low mileage is not exactly a good thing. A car must always be in working order. But the thing about luxury cars is that they are only brought out on special occasions when there is the option of a second car. This is the reason why most luxury cars for resale have low mileage.

Here are some things to consider when buying a used luxury car

· Get ​​an inspection by an expert. This can cost money, but it is worth it because there are chances that the vehicle was damaged in the past and that is why it was sold.

· Choose a dealer wisely. Each dealership has its own standards for the type of used cars it will stock and sell, just as a manufacturer has its own standards for the product manufactured. Compare between a couple of dealers and don’t just go for the lowest priced one just for that, a low price, sometimes a low price doesn’t mean it’s a good deal.

Do your research on the model, when it was released, what were the customer reviews? You can get the car’s VIN number and check with Carfax.com for any previous accidents. You can ask the dealer to help you with this.

Once you’ve taken care of these three factors and are satisfied with the car, go ahead and get behind the wheel of that luxury car. Problems can arise, but they can be solved and there’s nothing better than sitting in a custom-made soft leather seat in the opulent expanse of your new luxury car.

Porsche, Volkswagen’s premium sports car brand, is known for creating cars that are not only good, but best-in-class. The company has recently launched the second-generation four-seater Panamera at Rs. 1.19 to Rs. 1.23 crore in the ex-New Delhi showroom.

A sneak peek for monomaniacs

If you are a Porsche maniac, you will be glad to know that five models of the new Panamera will be available in India, namely Turbo, GTS, V6 Gasoline, Diesel and Panamera 4. But, the best part is the new classic unit launched. It has been introduced with a number of functions, which are enough to captivate you.

• Electric sunroof
• BOSE sound system in conjunction with Burmester 1000W surround sound system
• Widened rear windshield
• Optional LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
• Park Assist with reversing camera
• Navigation Porsche Communication Management Plus
• Larger chassis and advanced steering box
• Air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management
• Refurbished Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) with virtual immediate gears for increased fuel economy and comfort
• 529 horsepower, 305 km / h top speed and 10.2 liters / 100 km average fuel consumption in the Panamera Turbo
• 250 horsepower, 244 km / h top speed and 6.3 liters / 100 km average fuel consumption in the diesel Panamera

WAIT! That’s not …

The Executive model’s design has an extended body and looks very dynamic. The 3-liter V6 biturbo engine has a shorter piston and two bolt-on turbochargers, compared to the base first-generation Panamera that was powered by a naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8.

Aside from this, there is the SE Hybrid which is powered by a supercharged 3-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine and a 95-horsepower electric motor that is powered by a 9.4 kWh lithium-ion battery. The net system power output of this mighty car is 435 pound-feet of torque and 416 horsepower.

This SE Hybrid has 4 driving modes, E-charge, Hybrid mode, E-power and Sport mode. While E-power is the standard drive mode, E-charge mode uses the gasoline engine to charge the lithium-ion battery pack and to propel the car on the roads. Lithium ions, when fully charged, propel the SE Hybrid for 22 miles up to 84 mph. If you’re buying a sport mode, you can sprint 60 mph from idle in 5.2 seconds up to 167 mph on SE Hybrid.

Still, the car requires some refinement in the interiors, as the interiors are not overly stylish, as expected. Furthermore, the design changes that have been made are evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of the Declaration of Independence were Orthodox and deeply committed Christians? The other three believed in the Bible as divine truth, the God of Scripture and His personal intervention.

It is the same congress that formed the American Bible Society. Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of deeds for the people of this nation.

Patrick Henry, who is called the puppet of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, “Give me freedom or give me death.” But in current textbooks the context of these words is removed.

This is what he said: “A call to arms and to the God of armies is all that remains for us. But we will not fight our battle alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of the nations. The battle, sir, is not only of the strong. Is life so expensive or peace so sweet as to be bought at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God. I don’t know which way the others will take, but as far as I’m concerned, give me freedom, or give me death. ”
These phrases have been deleted from our textbooks.

Was Patrick Henry a Christian? The following year, 1776, he wrote the following: “It cannot be emphasized too much or too often that this great nation was founded not by religious, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone. , here freedom of worship has been granted to people of other religions “.

Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the cover of his worn Bible: “I am a Christian, that is, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have no doubt that our entire country will soon join the unity of our Creator and , I hope, also to the pure doctrine of Jesus “.

Consider these words from George Washington, the father of our nation, in his farewell address on September 19, 1796:
“It is impossible to rule the world without God and the Bible. Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and morality are the indispensable supporters. Let us cautiously allow the assumption that morality can be maintained without religion. Both the reason and experience prohibit us from expecting that our national morals can prevail excluding religious principles. “

Was George Washington a Christian? Consider these words from your personal prayer book: “O eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words and deeds. Wash my sins in the immaculate blood of the lamb and purify my heart by the Holy Spirit. Each day, inform me more and more in the likeness of your son, Jesus Christ, that living in your fear and dying in your favor, may in your appointed time obtain the resurrection of the justified to eternal life. Bless, O Lord, the entire human race and may the world be filled with the knowledge of your son Jesus Christ. “

Consider these words from John Adams, our second president, who also served as president of the American Bible Society.

In a speech to military leaders, he said: “We do not have a government armed with the power capable of fighting human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is totally inappropriate for the government of any other. ”
How about our first court judge, John Jay?

He said that when we select our national leaders, if we want to preserve our Nation, we must select Christians. “Providence has given our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, was the sixth president of the United States.
He was also president of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role. On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, “The greatest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in an indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”

Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States, reaffirmed this truth when he wrote: “The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings ceased.” be practically universal in our country. “

In 1782, the United States Congress passed this resolution: “The United States Congress recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools.”

William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for over 100 years in our public schools with over 125 million copies sold until it was stopped in 1963. President Lincoln called him the “nation’s school teacher. “.

Listen to these words of Mr. McGuffey: “The Christian religion is the religion of our country.> From it derive our notions about the character of God, about the great moral Governor of the universe. The peculiarities of our institutions are based on its doctrines From no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the Holy Scriptures. From all these extracts from the Bible I do not apologize. “

Of the first 108 universities founded in the United States, 106 were clearly Christian, including the first.

Harvard University, established in 1636. In rule number 1 of the original Harvard Student Manual, students seeking entry must know Latin and Greek in order to study the Scriptures:
“That every student be instructed with clarity and be seriously pressured to consider well, the main objective of their life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ, who is eternal life, John 17: 3; and therefore, put to Jesus Christ as the only foundation of all healthy knowledge and scholarship. And seeing that the Lord only gives wisdom, that each one seriously intends, through secret prayer, to seek it in him (Proverbs 2: 3) “.

For more than 100 years, more than 50% of all Harvard graduates were pastors!
It is clear from history that the Bible and the Christian faith were central to our educational and judicial system. However, in 1947, there was a radical change of direction in the Supreme Court.

Here is the sentence that was banished:

“Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence on You. We beg Your blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country.
Amen.”

In 1963, the Supreme Court ruled that reading the Bible was prohibited as unconstitutional in the public school system. The court offered this justification: “If parts of the New Testament were read without explanation, they could have been psychologically harmful to the children.”
Reading the Bible was now unconstitutional, although the Bible was cited 94 percent of the time by those who wrote our constitution and shaped our Nation and its system of education, justice, and government.

In 1965, the courts denied as unconstitutional the rights of a student in the public school cafeteria to bow his head and pray audibly for his food. In 1980, Stone vs. Graham banned the Ten Commandments from our public schools.

The Supreme Court said as follows: “If published copies of the Ten Commandments had any effect, it would be to induce schoolchildren to read them. And if they read them, meditate on them, and perhaps worship and observe them, this is not a allowable target “.
Isn’t it an allowable goal to allow our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments?

James Madison, the lead author of the United States Constitution, had this to say: “We have staked the entire future of our new nation, not on the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions on the ability of each of us to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments. ”
Today we ask God to bless America. But how can he bless a nation that has strayed so far from him?

Most of what you read in this article has been erased from our textbooks. The revisionists have rewritten history to eliminate the truth about our country’s Christian roots. I encourage everyone who reads and agrees with the words in this document to share them with others so that the truth of our nation’s history can be told.

NaturalMotion’s CSR Classics (iOS and Android) is a surprisingly addictive drag racing game brought to you by the same folks who made great strides with CSR Racing years before. I tried the original CSR Racing game many moons ago, but never stuck with it, mainly because, I think, collecting and racing the cars offered to the user did not interest me.

This problem is well solved in CSR Classics, where drag racing is put on a fictitious “strip” (think Las Vegas). Players buy, upgrade, and race cars from a vast catalog of classic cars, from traditional muscle (Ford Mustang, Chevy’s Corvair, and Nova, and the incredible Dodge Challenger, to name a few) to high-end classics like Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin. , and BMW, with a ton in between. Cars can be purchased in “loved” or “unloved” condition. Beloved cars look and perform much better than their unloved counterparts. As for me (and many people who have been involved with CSR Classics), I prefer to buy rusty, sweaty, hit and run relics to earn money to upgrade them, which makes CSR Classics much more than just a racing game, but rather one for collecting and building too.

The racing dynamics at CSR Classics are deceptively simple. To start a race, the driver (that’s you!) Hits the gas pedal to bring the needle into the “green zone” of the tachometer, trying to keep it there while the counter runs out and the race begins. Starting a career in the green zone provides a “perfect start”, which makes life that much easier. If the needle is too low in RPM, your car struggles to get up to speed, while overrunning the engine before start-up causes the wheels to spin, wasting valuable time until the wheels find their grip on the pavement.

Once the race starts, everything is time-based, as you must try to achieve a “perfect shift” through the gears. A fraction of a second sooner or later can cost a race, especially when competing with tougher opponents. The difficulty of the race varies between Easy (you can make a lot of mistakes and still come out on top), Challenging (a mistake here or there is surmountable, but don’t make it a habit), Hard (being at the top of your game or you you’ll go home a loser) and Extreme (I’ve never beat one of these and don’t even bother trying anymore.

As I said, timing is everything in CSR Classics while on the brake, as there is no need to worry about steering, braking, or acceleration (except when starting). However, the variety of career difficulties helps keep your interest, as do the different types of careers available.

In “career” mode, you try to rank up in better and stronger cars, spending your cash to upgrade what you have and buy new vehicles. Within each level are a variety of races, including ladder races, restriction races, crew races, and manufacturer or car specific events. CSR Racing also offers an “online” mode in which the developers say that you can compete against real life opponents. This is somewhat untrue, as you actually compete against other real-life players in ladder events for money, reputation, and prizes. However, what you can’t do is participate in a real-time endurance race against real-life opponents, which is a bit tricky (pun intended).

Like all games, CSR Classics has some problems. The two most obvious are the replay factor, which I’ve run into every now and then if I’ve played a lot recently, but I keep coming back. Let’s face it, there is only one time limit and tapping a guy can do before things get a little boring. But, for me, a bit of free time and the appeal of new cars (which NaturalMotion regularly adds) brings me back.

The other big drawback is a common one in all the “free” games I have played, namely that at some point the developers make it very frustrating NOT to invest money in the game. CSR Racing does this by using “gold”, which CAN be earned in races or by completing free offers, but that is an extremely time consuming and tedious process, especially since there are some really amazing cars that can only be bought with large amounts of gold. .

Overall though, CSR Classics gets a big “thumbs up” from this gaming gourmand as it has provided me, and I believe it will continue to, hours of good play.

Consumer Reports recently published its short-term reliability predictions for sport utility vehicles. Predictions are based on the infrequency of major issues within the most recent 3 model years or less, based on data availability. This article lists the top 5 and bottom 10 based on CR’s predicted reliability in each of the Small SUV, Midsize SUV, Luxury SUV, and Large SUV categories.

Tea The 5 best small SUVs of 2011 for CR’s expected short-term reliability are:

Honda CR-V

Toyota RAV4 V6

Mitsubishi outlander

Toyota RAV4 4-cylinder

Subaru Forester without turbo.

The 4-cylinder Honda CR-V and RAV4 also have an excellent long-term reliability record in 2010. The CR-V has Consumer Reports’ highest reliability rating (much better than average) for 8 of the years. 2000 through 2009 model and its second highest rating (better than average) for the remaining two model years. The 4-cylinder RAV4 has CR’s highest rating for 9 of the model years and its second-highest rating for the remaining model year.

Tea The 5 best midsize SUVs of 2011 are:

Toyota fj cruiser

4 cylinder Toyota Highlander

Toyota Highlander V6

Hyundai santa fe v6

Nissan Pathfinder.

Of these 5, the Toyota Highlander V6 has an excellent track record for long-term reliability. For model years 2000 through 2009, it has CR’s highest rating for 9 of the model years and its second-highest rating for the remaining model year.

Tea The 5 best luxury SUVs of 2011 are:

Lexus LX

Acura MDX

Lincoln navigator

Lexus RX350

Lincoln MKT.

The Lexus RX and Lexus LX also have excellent long-term reliability ratings. For 2010, the RX has CR’s highest reliability rating for 9 of the most recent ten model years and its second-highest rating for the remaining model year. The Japan-made Large Lexus LX has the highest CR rating in 8 of its 9-year data history and its second-highest rating for the remaining year.

The Acura MDX has a less remarkable history, with a much better-than-average rating for just 3 of the model years and a better-than-average rating for the remaining 6 model years.

Tea Top 5 large SUVs is it so:

Ecoboost Ford Flex

Toyota sequoia

Front-wheel drive Chevrolet Traverse

Chevrolet suburban 2500

Yukon XL 2500.

Ecoboost rating is based on a single data model year. The Toyota Sequoia has only mediocre long-term reliability, although it does have a remarkable reliability rating in 2011. The 2011 rating of the Traverse, Suburban and XL is quite mediocre. It may be best to avoid this group altogether, unless the price of a luxury sport utility vehicle is prohibitive or the size of the vehicle makes it necessary to buy it.

Tea Top 10 (11 tied) small SUVs For 2011, the expected short-term reliability, in ascending order (worst first), is:

Dodge nitro

Jeep liberty

Mazda Tribute 4-cylinder all-wheel drive

4-cylinder front-wheel drive Mazda Tribute

4-cylinder, front-wheel drive Ford Escape.

The Dodge Nitro and Jeep Liberty have fared poorly at avoiding reported serious problems. For the 2007 and 2008 models (the only two to offer reliability ratings in 2010), the Nitro had a much worse than average rating and a worse than average rating. For the most recent four model years of the Jeep Liberty, two of the 2010 reliability ratings were much worse than average and two were worse than average.

Consumer Reports’ reliability ratings are widely respected and followed by North American consumers looking for high-quality products. You have a low chance of serious problems.

These days, most buyers who require a 7 or 8 passenger vehicle are turning to one of the many SUV models available. In the past, most buyers who required this type of vehicle chose minivans or vans for this task. However, as styles and preferences have changed in recent years, SUVs far outperform minivans by a wide margin. In fact, there are only a handful of minivan models available, while there is a wide variety of third-row SUVs to choose from.

The best SUV models with third row seats offer the best levels of reliability, performance, safety and comfort. They offer good value for money and offer many years of trouble-free driving.

Most automakers offer an SUV with third row seat models these days. Some even have two or three different models in their inventory. The sheer popularity of SUVs means you should be able to find the perfect SUV to suit your needs, lifestyle, and budget.

Third-row SUV models come in all sizes, shapes, and price ranges. The most economical models of compact SUVs that have optional third-row seats available. Models like the Nissan Rogue and Mitsubishi Outlander are two of the best small SUVs with 3 rows of seats. Due to its smaller size, many buyers will find that it is better to reserve the third row for children rather than adults. This size of SUV generally gets very good gas mileage and is ideal for commuters.

A higher level in size are the midsize SUVs. This is the most popular size as it is the perfect balance between interior space and exterior dimensions. Mid-size SUVs are large enough to comfortably seat up to 7 adults in most cases. Some models even offer seating for 8 passengers. At the same time, the vehicle is not too big to be a burden for daily maneuvering and parking. The Acura MDX and Lexus RX350 are examples of popular midsize SUVs.

For those looking for a fuel efficient 7-passenger SUV, many automakers offer hybrid versions of their most popular SUVs. The Toyota Highlander Hybrid is an example of one of the best hybrid SUVs with third row seats.

Finally, for people who require the maximum amount of passenger space, full-size SUV models may be the ideal vehicle. These large SUVs offer third-row seating for 7.8 or even up to 9 passengers. They have large spacious interiors that provide the greatest comfort to each passenger. Full-size SUVs also offer the highest towing capacity, making them ideal for buyers who need to tow large trailers or caravans. The Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac Escalade, and GMC Yukon are all examples of the best full-size SUV with available third-row seat models.

Type 2 split screen 1950-1967

This was the first VW caravan adapted from the VW bus (known as the Samba), which in turn was an adaptation of the VW van. You will recognize the rounded VW caravan with the V-molding at the front, the huge VW badge, the split windshield and the big round headlights like the classic VW Camper.

Production of the first generation of ‘split screen’ Transporters, known as the Type 2 (the Beetle was Type 1), began in Wolfsburg for the 1950 model year with a tiny 1100cc air-cooled engine that was developed borrowed from the Volkswagen Beetle. By comparison, today’s Transporter has a choice of four 1.9-liter to 2.5-liter TDI PD diesel engines.

Volkswagen imported the first VW Campervan to the UK in 1955 and a year later, the production of transporters moved to a new factory in Hannover. The motorhomes were developed by Westfalia, a body shop that worked in partnership with VW for many years. There were a large number of furniture setups and other companies produced conversions as well. The split screen caravans had the same air-cooled motors as the panel vans and the same 6-volt electrical components.

Type 2 motorhome with bay window 1967-1980

The taller and larger VW camper had a 12-volt electrical system, a sliding side door, and a larger motor. It still had a round and friendly shape but with better visibility and more space. More than three million were manufactured during 12 years of production. Westfalia continued to carry out conversions, and a large number of other companies in the UK, including Devon, Danbury, Canterbury and Dormobile, also joined the market. There are also VW camper vans that have been converted by small businesses and DIY conversions. At the top were a wide range of pop-ups to give more space: the ones that go straight up, the bellows examples, fixed on the sides (often Dormobiles) plus the front-hinged type (wedges) from Devon. The bay window versions are still in production in Mexico and were produced in Brazil long after VW stopped production.

Type 25 VW – the Vanagon 1980-1991

The third generation Transporter was introduced in 1979. The VW t25 was again larger and offers considerable space. It was known as the Vanagon in the US and is often referred to now as the VW t3. This model is much more angular with a very ’80s shape. In 1982, after 32 years and with a total production of more than five million vehicles, the Transporter switched from air-cooled to water-cooled engines, but still mounted. In the back.

The Volkswagen T4 1991-2003

The fourth generation Transporter was introduced in 1990 and was a major change. It was the first to have the engine at the front to leave a completely flat cargo area. It’s a steep wedge, but it’s still a relatively sleek shape with a great deal of space. Autosleeper, Bilbo, Reimo, Danbury and Westfalia produced motorhome conversions. The Caravelle is the minivan and the California is the Westfalia caravan. The other conversion companies have their own names for their model range.

Q5 2004 to present

The current fifth-generation Transporter made its debut in 2003, and in 2007 rock legends The Who performed live at an official event celebrating 60 years of Volkswagen vans in Hannover, Germany. It attracted 71,000 visitors with an incredible selection of more than 5,000 Transporter vans and motorhomes. Over the sixty-year period, more than 10 million conveyors have been manufactured. VW camper van conversions have been produced for every transporter model, and by a large number of companies. And then there are the small businesses and hobbyist conversions as well. But now you have a good overview, so you should at least ask what questions to ask, when you are shopping or just admiring a VW Camper.
