From this Sunday, I am starting a series of weekly specials. These will be insider news about future company model programs, happenings, stuff that you will not have read in any of the enthusiast magazines and stuff that when they publish is accompanied by 'SCOOP' in caps and bold. As none of the media outlets have any use for my rantings, as accurate as they may be, I will use my blog as an outlet.

Maruti has some ambitious plans for 2006. The company will launch the Escudo, the replacement for the Grand Vitara, already available in international markets. The Escudo, based on the GM-Suzuki Chevy Equinox platform, is a handsome looking vehicle and would be a good flagship and image builder, something which the aging Vitara could not do.

After all this, Maruti wants to have a look at the Corolla-Octavia-Optra segment with an all new sedan that Suzuki is developing. This is expected next year only. By the end of this year, Maruti's diesel plant and its new facility in Manesar will be operational. And that would mean additional headache for its competition.

The Wagon R will get an overhaul this year. The Solio that Maruti showcased at the Auto Expo this year is an indicator to things of the future. The reworked Wagon R will have more legroom and a new face as well. I expect a diesel to be slotted in when Suzuki is ready with Fiat's 1.3-litre Multijet.

The Zen will finally be put to rest, a hard act to do with a model that is still selling a few thousands every month. But the Zen brandname will not die. I expect the MR Wagon to be introduced in India with the Zen brand name. The MR Wagon is a nifty small car powered in Japan by a 660cc engine but the Indian version may get a bigger engine.

The Swift sedan is also on the anvil, most possibly by end of the year with a petrol and the new Multijet diesel. The Swift itself will get the diesel shot as well.

How To Buy A New Or Used Car

By Larry Lane for www.InvestorZoo.com

Ok, so your current car is bleeding you dry. The tires are well worn; you leak more oil than the Exxon Valdez. With over 175,000 miles, and the transmission is starting to slip. You've overheated on several occasions, causing you to be late for appointments. In short, it's time to get a new car.

Looking for your new

There's an old saying, "Your car reflects you and your personality." I on the other hand have my own opinion "Your depreciating asset that you're driving should be a vehicle that suits your needs and lifestyle." You should know, the second you buy your car, you've just lost money. So, let's take a good logical look at your car purchase.
Here are some tips when purchasing a vehicle

Step1:                          

Write first write down a list of things you absolutely NEED in a vehicle

Do you have kids? If they're involved in sports, do you need plenty of room for their sports equipment?
Do you like to go on road trips/camping?
Do you just need your car to go to work or travel locally?
Once you have those questions answered, get the car review issue of Consumer Reports,  Kelly Blue Book or Edmumds. Not to sound like a commercial, but Consumer Reports really does a great job with their reviews, especially vehicles. You can check out complete car specifications, how each car did in crash tests as well as a host of other options. All three magazines are available by subscription. Never fear though; you can go to your library and check them out for free.

You've now narrowed down your search to two to three vehicles which suite your needs.

Time to go shopping yet? Not quite yet   

Setp 2: Your next step is to shop around for car insurance. Ask each insurance company for a quote on the vehicles you're thinking about purchasing. You will be astonished at the differences in price between two seemingly similar cars. Insurance prices can even vary within the actual car. For example, a two door Toyota Corolla DX may be less costly to insure than a 4 door LX. Why? If you get into an accident, there's a greater chance a passenger will be ejected and thrown out the car.

Step 3: Buying New or Used?
Over the first year some cars depreciate at a rate as high as 35%. KBB.com states the average car loses 65% of its value in the first 5 years. Purchase a car which is 5 years old and you can get a 65% discount over buying new! I've actually never purchased a new car. Add in the cost of depreciation, sales tax, insurance, and licensing fees and I think you'll agree, purchasing a used car over a new one is a no brainer.

Of course there is a downside to used cars. There‘s a very good chance you will have unforeseen repairs on a used car at the worst possible time. However, if you budget correctly and make car repairs as part as your overall monthly expenses, you will be prepared against unforeseen expenses.

Step 4:Lease vs. Buy
When making a 'lease or buy' decision you must make a determination of what's important to you. Is it important to drive around a flashy new car every couple of years or do you want to own your vehicle outright? When you purchase your next car, you will have an asset (your vehicle) to sell or trade in.

When you buy, you pay for the entire cost of a vehicle; regardless of how many miles you drive it. If you finance your purchase, you will typically make a down payment. You will also pay sales taxes and pay interest on your purchase based on your credit history.

 You should consider buying a new car if:
1) You can handle high monthly payments
2) Prefer to build up equity, as you own your vehicle. When you purchase your next vehicle, you will have one to trade in.
3) Like that fact that after paying off your loan you'll be payment-free for a while
4) You are prepared for some maintained costs as your vehicle ages

Leasing info:          

You pay for only a portion of a vehicle's cost.You pay sales tax only on your monthly payments (in most states). You may also be required to pay acquisition fees and possibly a security deposit. You make your first payment at the time you sign your contract — for the month ahead. You will also be capped at the amount of miles you can drive during your lease. At the end of your lease, you may either return the vehicle, or have the option to purchase it.

Leasing is also a good idea if you:
1) Like driving a new car every two or three years. Remember, you will walk away owning nothing after you turn your car in.
2) Want to have lower monthly payments than purchasing,
3) Like having a car that is always under warranty. You don't want any unexpected expenses.
4) Have a stable predictable lifestyle and income (if that exists anymore)
5) Drive an average number of miles, and properly maintain your car. Leasing is generally not a good idea for those who are outside sales reps or frequent long distance drivers. You could be liable to pay penalties if you exceed your number of allowable miles driven at the end of your lease.

Step 5: The actual car buying process
Once you narrowed your car choice, your choice of payment, make sure you go to at least two different dealerships or check out car related websites such as cars.com or even craigslist.org.

.Here is some common pitfalls to avoid:
1) Never tell the salesman how much you're looking to spend per month. Car dealerships are famous for manipulating down payments, interest rates and monthly payment options.
2) Never tell the salesperson the maximum amount of money you're looking to spend. They will always push you slightly over your pre determined maximum amount of your budget
3) Never buy a car the first time you visit the lot. Always give yourself a day or two to think about your purchase

Buying smart:
1) If you purchase a car from a dealership, find the youngest looking salesperson. A sales manager is more likely to negotiate a better price for "the new guy".
2) Buy the last day of the month. Most if not all car salesmen are compensated by straight commission. If you don't buy, they don't get paid. Knowing this, by purchasing at the end of the month, you are more likely to acquire your car at a lower price.

There are many issues to consider when purchasing a vehicle. You are now armed with information to make a smart purchase. You're going to be driving your car for a many many years. By doing research, shopping right, and taking all the emotions out of your purchase you will make a smart buy. Your wallet/pocketbook will thank you in the long run.

1989 Toyota Corolla runs on?

My 1989 Toyota Corolla (Carbuerated) was running rough, i put new plugs, wires, cap, and carbuerator rebuild kit on as well as changing the oil. runs good now but when the engine is warm and i go to shut it off it runs on for a few seconds. I tried two different brands of cleaner to clean carbon build up out of cylinders, both made the car smoke really bad for a couple minutes. Should i try this again to eliminate run on, or what should i try?

The problem IS NOT your starter.Just like some of the other ones say it could be your timing is advanced a little,or the idle is set a little to high.If its a manual trans idle should be about 750 rpm,if its a auto trans it should be in Drive with the em brake on about 750 also,if the idle is 850 or higher set it down to 750 then turn off the ign.to see if it stops running.If it still runs a little then check the timing setting.The other thing that could cause it would be a vacuum leak,maybe it came off when the carb was off the car.You may have a vacuum hose that is split causing just a little vacuum leak.A vacuum leak will cause the idle to be higher than normal.

hope this helps
