If you're in the market for a new Ford Mustang V-6 or GT, we've got some good news for you: Ford is likely to give you additional cash rebates or low-interest financing in the very near future because Mustang sales are slow. The automaker has nearly double the amount of V-6 and V-8 Mustangs in inventory than it considers ideal, so dealers will...
Before you take your vehicle in for a repair, you may want to know if any technical service bulletins (TSB) cover the problem--but where can you find them for your pre-service research? TSBs are vehicle and model specific notices of repair issues that the manufacturer sends to dealers. The notices contain information that will facilitate the...
BMW knows what’s riding on the launch of their 2012 M5: get it right, and the car continues a legacy of performance and comfort unmatched by any other automaker's performance sedans. Get it wrong, and the BMW faithful are likely to storm Munich with pitchforks and torches, demanding heads in retribution. No other car in BMW's lineup...
Gas prices are on a steady march upwards--so is it time to start thinking about locking your gas tank again? If you have not-so-fond memories of the 1970s, you might remember sales of gas-tank locks surging due to theft. They were inexpensive--and gas was not.

While you might be perfectly happy with a two-star hotel or restaurant choice, you shouldn't ever settle for anything but five stars in a vehicle. As before, you'll find federal star ratings printed on the window sticker of all new vehicles. But this year, they're different. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has revamped...
When I was Internet Manager for a major car dealer, we were careful that low-priced, advertised vehicles were always available for sale. We not only specified in our ad how many vehicles we had at the advertised price, but we listed the last six digits of the VINs to avoid any confusion. As long as an advertised vehicle is available for sale...
Question: I keep hearing about my vehicle’s VIN. What is it? The vehicle identification number (VIN) is similar to a person’s social security number: it follows the vehicle around for life and is used by various government, banking, and insurance agencies for identification. You’ll find a vehicle’s VIN on its state...
Is the new kid on the block, Tesla Motors, poised to join the Big Three automakers as a major player in the car manufacturer industry in North America? Morgan Stanley thinks so. In fact, a new report by Morgan Stanley describes the Silicon Valley start-up as potentially “America’s fourth automaker.” The result: Tesla’s...
March sales numbers are out, and the Big Three domestic automakers fared well last month. Led by Chrysler with an increase in sales of 31 percent over last year, the Detroit automakers all ended the month on the positive side of the ledger.
