I know there's no way to predict how the car will behave on the road, but that doesn't mean I can't find out. What are the advantages and disadvantages of buying a car that has been written off? The most obvious advantage is that you can get a much cheaper car, with no history and no claims from the insurance company. The only disadvantage i...

Can a motorcycle depreciate in value? The short answer is yes. A motorcycle can depreciate in value over time, just as a house or land can depreciate. However, there are some things you can do to help prevent this from happening. The first thing to remember is that if you buy a good condition motorcycle at the right price, you're likely to make a g...

Is there some standard for car dealers? I was thinking the book used when cars arrive on a car lot would be the "Blue Book" When a car dealer values a car, he or she is not using the Blue Book to arrive at his/her estimate.

I am currently on a renewal quote of car insurance from the same company. When I went to renew last time, I received an offer of 18,200 which I accepted. It was over 25% more than the previous offer.

Does anyone still make a motorhome today? A motorhome used to be the name of the car campers that towed behind a big motor-van styled vehicle you had probably seen in the US 50s/60s. It is now called the fifth wheel as it is still quite a popular product still in the RV world. Well when I got interested in buying a 5th wheel they weren'...

That's a question I'm sure you can answer. If it doesn't run to 60 mpg and has trouble meeting NHTSA standards, don't expect it to be popular among drivers. I find it interesting that you can't name any current American cars with four wheel discs that meet these standards. I don't drive the car, but the current models in the VX family are more...

Hey guys. I'm looking to get a used truck. The prices vary from 4500-6500 depending on the truck. Is there any way to figure out the cheapest one to buy? For instance, there are some trucks that I don't think would work for me at 4500 but I could probably make it work at 6500.
