Things To Watch Out For When Buying A Tokunbo Car.

The following are the very important things that must be rigourously observed when you presumably an average person without any form of technical automotive knowledge wants to buy an automobile.

1.Don't let the aesthetic,that's the shimmering or sexy look of the car fool you. Usually, vehicles prepared for sale are deliberately burnished to glimmer.

2.Be very observant, immediately you turn the key on(just simply by turning the key one stroke, no cranking sound yet and the engine isn't working yet), make sure that all the images on the dashboard are lighted up. Why? Some Smart Alec car sellers sometimes remove or tape over the bulbs, inside the dashboard, of the warning signs.

Ford's Best-Selling SUV Gets a Complete Makeover


By , About.com Guide


Escape really is all-new for 2013. Since hitting the market in 2000, Escape has been through two generations and a refresh, most recently in 2009. The previous generation Escape was a traditional two box design, with a truckish look and a fairly upright windshield. It was masculine and tough-looking, tying in to the Explorer and F-Series aesthetic of the moment.

Times have changed, and so has the target market for compact utility vehicles. Ford Marketing Manager Jason Sprawka told me that the target for Escape was a woman in her late 20s/early 30s named "Carrie." She will find the new Escape to be a stylish companion, fitting in with the latest crossover designs. Escape has a much more aerodynamic look than before, with a faster, more steeply raked windshield, a lower hood and a much more dynamic, athletic profile than before. Escape is closer to the teardrop shape of a Nissan MuranoMazda CX-5 or Kia Sportage than it is to the upright look of a Toyota RAV4 or the outgoing Escape.
A big trapezoidal grille opening sits at the center base of the front fascia, while a smaller opening above it houses the blue Ford oval and a single chrome crossbar. Big headlights wrap the front corners horizontally, leading back toward a slightly rising beltline that emphasizes forward motion. The roofline slants gently downward at the rear, again giving that sense of motion. Around back, a good-sized fixed glass rear window provides visibility, and prominent LED taillights wrap around the rear corners.

AUTO REVIEW: LEXUS RX 350 F SPORT


This article was culled from http://www.theledger.com


The vehicle reviewed here in is one i love so much and as such, took out the time to research it online and come up with something for the readers. And since, what this blog sets out to achieve on a large percentage is provide hands-on reviews based on experience(s) of particular products, thus, my not having a direct encounter with the vehicle may not yield a decent review. Hence, the desire to adapt this article. I hope you find it a good read as it should inform you about the car.

Review: Luxury SUV RX 350 F Sport Has Perks With a Price

Customer must decide if F Sport package is worth the $6,000-plus over the standard 350 AWD model.


FOR 2013, LEXUS added an F Sport performance option to its RX 350. The RX 350 F Sport brings cosmetic changes of chrome-trimmed black-mesh grille to the now-familiar hourglass shape. The grille is complemented by LED eyeliners beneath the headlights. (COURTESY OF LEXUS )
