Auto Financing & Auto Insurance for WRX STI CARS

Type in “ auto financing ” on any search engine and the list is endless— whether you have good credit or bad credit, someone out there is willing to finance your car for a price. Similarly, if you search for auto insurance companies, you’ll find many that offer you auto insurance coverage— no matter what your driving record is like. Car dealerships try to simplify the car buying process as much as possible to encourage people with good credit to buy from them. However, even if your credit is less than perfect, some dealerships may still work with you to get the sale. Keep these things in mind when you’re looking for auto financing for your vehicle: If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Zero-financing and other offers may not apply to you unless you have excellent credit. Some car dealerships that arrange financing mark up their rates by 2 or 3%, which can cost you thousands of dollars more to pay back. According to the Consumer Federation of America, marked-u...

ACCIDENT ON YOUR NEW SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI CAR

Just bought a new WRX STI car ? What if an accident occurred soon after taking your brand new ride off the lot? You have full coverage insurance, right? So, you're covered....maybe not. When you drive your new WRX STI car off the lot the value of your vehicle plummets, sometimes as much as 20-30%. Take for instance you pay $25,000 for your new vehicle and have an accident a month later. You probably have only made at the most one payment and if you did not put any money down your loan amount is still close to the $25,000 purchase price. Unfortunately, even with full coverage, which includes comprehensive and collision , you will only receive the market value of your vehicle which could be as much as 20-30% lower than the purchase price. That means you may be stuck paying that 20-30%. On a $25,000 car, just a 20% depreciation would be $5,000! That amount could be more if you financed your taxes and license into your loan.

Subaru Impreza WRX STI Carbon Fiber Products

Image
Walking into the SEMA show this year brought me back to when I was a child at Christmas time. As usual there were several new cutting edge companies displaying thier products to the world. One company that made one of the largest splashes at the show was the new carbon fiber hood heavyweight Seibon. Over the past year Seibon has really gained recognition fast as a contender for the hottest carbon fiber products on the market. I first heard of Seibon earlier this year when one of my suppliers introduced me to the product. I didnt really pay too much attention because I always hear about these new upstart companies. It wasnt until June when I had my first order from Seibon. A client of mine brought it a Import Tuning magazine with a gorgeous Subaru WRX STI in the centerfold sporting a sick new body kit and probably the most beautiful carbon fiber hood I had ever seen. It took me a day or two to find out where the products on the pic were from (can you imagine that they didnt ev...

Subaru leads SAFETY charge in WRC

Image

The outfit has made more robust seats for the driver and co-driver with added side protection , while the safety harness has been changed to decrease the risk of stretching in accidents . Safety in motorsport has always been a hot topic- particularly in rallying - but the topic has become more fiercely discussed in the World Rally Championship in recent months following the tragic accident on last year's Wales Rally GB in which Markko Martin's Co-driver, Michael Park was sadly killed. World motorsport's governing body, the FIA, is already looking at a number of ways in which to further improve side-impact protection for the driver and co-driver, but SUBARU has already decided to include findings from its own research in the design of this year's car even through they're not required by current FIA sules. "It wa...
