Tips For Buying a Family Car

April 23, 2015 by Editor

When it comes to the idea of taking your family for a weekend getaway, it’s no longer about those posh sports cars or flashy sedans.

 

Suddenly, you find yourself tilting your head and looking for vehicles that could serve you well in terms of child safety, expanded capacity and passenger comfort.

So, before you even drive that SUV from the dealer’s lot, check out these five tips that you might find useful when choosing the right car for your family.

Put Safety First. All the Time

The car’s flashy features, style and a few bells and whistles must only come second to safety.To make sure you get the most reliable model, do a background check and look for any recall history and the reasons behind it. The ANCAP safety rating is also useful when assessing the best performing cars in the market. And if you’d like to know which automobile has the best track record, check the USCR ratings as well.

Comfort and Entertainment

Give your children that much legroom and extra comfort while in the backseat. This is particularly important especially during hours of nonstop journey to your destination. And of course, a good entertainment system can keep even the most boring rides all worthwhile.

When Buying a Used Car

Just looking at that shiny new second hand car would make you want to close the deal and drive it down the road. But think again. As we’ve mentioned earlier, always put safety first, and this holds especially true for used cars. In fact, we may never really truly know why its previous owner sold it. But whatever the reasons, it’s always safe to do a background check before buying your choice.

To check the history of the used car, get the vehicle identification number (VIN), and have it checked with PPSR or have a report generated by CarHistory. With the VIN, you would know whether the car was written off, stolen or had a history of repair resulting from serious accidents.

Also check the make and model of the vehicle for any recalls announced by the maker. Sometimes, a car owner would just choose to sell the car for recall instead of returning it to avoid further complications. And you, as a potential buyer, could end up facing any safety issues that might arise in the future.

A Final Thought

No matter how well designed and attractive a family car is on the outside, always put the safety of your family first. Regularly check for recalls, and also check the background of the used car if you wish to go for it to save money.

And when everything is all set, you’re good to go with your very own family car. Enjoy!

How To Be Smart About Buying A Used Car

March 16, 2015 by Editor

Buying a Used Car

 

 

Owning a car can become as expensive as owning a house especially when you’re looking after on a top of the line model from a famous brand. But nowadays people have learned the advantages of buying a used car over a brand new one.

 

It is always a better and practical idea when deciding on purchasing your own car.

Yes of course it can be really doubtful choosing a used car over a brand new one since you don’t know the history of the car. Also you would always consider the engine condition if it’s going to drop you right after closing the deal. But all these fears will easily turn into fascination if you learn how to become smart in buying a used car.

In order to get a wise buy on used cars, you must be responsible enough on buying the car model that you have decided to purchase. First and foremost decide on the type of car you want to buy. If you know what car you really want it will be easier for you to conduct a research.

The internet offers a lot of website that deals with buying a used car as well as there is magazines that contain details you might need with your used car shopping. The said resources can provide important information regarding the car model of the used car you would want to buy like the model, the features, retail value as well as the trade in value and so much more.

The most important factor that can help you decide on the used car you will have is of course your budget. Even if you wanted a specific model with great features but it doesn’t fit in your budget you wouldn’t be able to get the car.

Set a specific budget that will enable you to get a reliable used car. As you tend to lower down your budget the chance of getting older car gets higher. So it is better to strictly put a budget that will allow you to own the car that will provide safety and reliability. The safety feature of a certain vehicle always comes as the most critical aspect every buyer is looking for.

Buying a 3 year old car is a wise buy than getting a five year older. It is always a buyer’s responsibility to conduct an inspection before closing the deal. Check the physical and mechanical aspect of the car to make sure that you’re paying for the right one.

Research Is The Key When Buying A Good Used Car

March 5, 2015 by Editor

buying used car
Things you really should know if you are buying a good used car

Buying a good used car is the most practical way when you are planning to own a car.

But the process is not easy as buying something from the supermarket. It will take you to a lot of things to consider. Among the things you need to decide on is whether to buy from a dealer or from a private seller, how much budget you’re going to set for this used car buying, the type of car you want and many more.

In order to end up with a wise buy and satisfy yourself you must first become a responsible good used car buyer. Try to consider and compare the pros and cons of buying a used car from a dealer and buying one from a private seller.

Buying from a dealer can certainly protect you from the Sale of Goods Act. This means that the car must be reliable enough while on the road and must have the exact features and descriptions just what is contained in the advertisement. There are lots of papers though, but these can be done along the process and it is much better and will assure you of a safe and legal transaction.

Things such as this should not be ignored and must be given full attention. Through research, buying good used car can become a successful and will lead you to the car of your dreams.

Conducting a research is the first on the list when you want to end up with the perfect car. Where to go for information you need? Hit the internet. It is the best place to look for the necessary information you need with the car model that you consider to purchase.

The various websites that are available will definitely help you to know the history and price range of the specific car you wanted. Doing this action will help you determine the fair price for the used car.

Search online for cars condition, mileage and those with similar extras. There are some important features that will determine the price of a used car such as electric windows, alloys, air conditioning, seat heaters and sat nav – number of previous owners and service history.

Just before closing the deal, care to ask for a test drive. This is the most important part of the process. A half an hour on the road will definitely help you decide if it’s the right car or not. Make sure to drive the car on open highway, rocky roads or inside town.

Try to use every feature of the car including reverse, test all the controls like wipers, headlamps, heaters and air conditioning. Focus on the engine if it’s running smoothly and reversing evenly and without grinding noises. Check out the brakes including the handbrake if it’s in good condition.

 

Finally trust your instinct. If you feel that there is trouble and there is any doubt, feel free to walk away and look for another.

Nissan Navara D22 (2008) Review: Fuel Efficiency and Versatility Fused Into One

September 15, 2014 by Jeff Zaninelli

Another bestseller from JZ Motors, Victoria’s RACV green light approved car dealer, is the Nissan Navara D22, 2008 edition (2009 and 2010 editions are also available).

Offering both dual cab and single cab options, along with the new and powerful turbo-diesel engine, this line-up has become very popular among those who seek used trucks packed with awesome power and versatility.

used-cars-melbourne-nissan-navara-2008-m4ac

Let’s take a quick roundup of what the Navara has to offer:

Reliable and Versatile Turbo-Diesel Engine

The Navara packs a YD25 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine, which boasts a maximum power output of 98kW at 3600rpm and 304Nm of torque. Match that performance with a five-speed manual transmission and you get extreme versatility in both on- and off-road conditions. The electronically controlled high-pressure fuel injection pump used in the fuel injection system of the 2.5-litre diesel offers better efficiency, resulting in greater output, lower emissions and a quieter vehicle. You’re definitely in for a smooth ride when driving the Navara with its reduced vibration and harshness.

Fuel Economy

For better fuel economy, the Navara sports a 16-valve, double overhead cam YD diesel that features second-generation common rail technology. For lower emissions, a variable nozzle turbocharger does the job while it also delivers greater power, working in synergy with the new balancer system for better refinement.

The 4×2 single cab Navara proves economical in terms of fuel consumption, with a fuel rate of 7.3 litres per 100 kilometres. On the other hand, the 4×4 cab boasts a proportionately economical cycle at 9.1 litres per 100 kilometres, while the dual cab ST-R, at 9.2 litres. These numbers

Driving Experience

The Nissan Navara is notable for its sharp responses both for off-road and on-road driving. Thanks to the new turbocharger with a variable nozzle turbine (VNT). Also, the new diesel engine sports twin counter rotating balancer shafts within the engine. This design results in lesser vibrations. Plus, the use of a single-chain camshaft drive helps ensure high levels of refinement. Overall, we’re very pleased with the Navara’s performance and reliability.

More Features

Other features include power steering, single in-dash CD player, air conditioning, dual front airbags and anti-lock brakes, which are all standards for the Navara.

We at JZ Motors offer only RACV tested used sedans, SUVs, 4WDs and Commercials. We guarantee that all our used cars for sale have passed rigorous testing and are not tied to any hidden financial encumbrances or written-off records.

Being nineteen (and partner 21) at the time, and buying a car from a dealer, I thought we would be up against folk who treated us with little respect. This was absolutely not the case here! The first car we looked at on our hunt was the one we ended up buying. We've had it close to a year now, and put an additional 70,000km on it, completely trouble free. Thanks guys.read more

Was a little nervous about buying a used vehicle but these guys really made me feel welcome. Sold me a great car at a great price with some generous extras (warranty, RACV cover etc) and gave me a very reasonable price for my old one. Car had a little issue that needed fixing (it happens with second hands) but they were very nice and apologetic about it. Had the issue resolved promptly, no-questions-asked and now it runs wonderfully. Really exemplary after-sales service. Would go there again.read more

Bought a navara st-x d40 from these guys. Had some issues, but they help me out and I'm happy. I was probably a bit rude when the problems propped up, but they did the right thing and helped me get it all sorted. My nav now has a new clutch, and drives awesome. I appreciate AJ and Scott over at cool core radiators for doing such a great job. Also a special thanks to Paul at JZ motors for being a great guy and professional, even after I sent some rude messages. Thanks guys, I appreciate all the support.read more

Last Friday I turned up at JZ Motors. I was greeted straight away by Paul. I told him what I was looking for, he pointed me directly to what I had in mind. Details of the vehicles were explained in real person terms, so I understood he said. I test drove 3 Toyota’s and ended up choosing a Camry. Whilst we were in the I met with Jeff, the owner and the deal was done. I’m extremely happy with my new car and very impressed with the way I was treated. I would recommend JZ Motors to anyone. Thanks again Sandra F (a very happy customer)read more

If you want a typical cars salesman that will say anything to close the deal, then please keep walking. But if you can handle a dose of straight shooting, down to earth guys, then you might get a good laugh and a damn good car too. Well worth the extra drive to get there.read more

I bought my Defender 130 from Paul and Jeff...They were bombarded with calls from the "Defender Crazies" but I was the lucky one to get it. It's 15 years old Defender so has it's issues but they sorted out Fuel Pump, Doors, new brakes, full service, light switch and a number of small items before I took delivery! The doors were still an issue but they were happy to give it another go and it was sorted, no questions asked. I've since asked for their advice on a number of improvements I've wanted to make to it and they were great at putting me in touch with local shops and arranging good prices. Thanks Guys...Let me know first when you get your hands on another Defender and thanks for all the favours!read more

Highly recommend these guys. AJ was fantastic to deal with and very knowledgeable and professional. We went in to look at a 4x4 for towing, we drove one and then later drove home in it. 👌🏻 It has been an amazing car and beautiful to drive. Not what we had originally looked at but so glad we bought it. And the service doesn’t just stop once you drive out of the yard like some. AJ is always available on the phone and willing to assist where he can. Thanks AJ.read more
