You feel ready to make the purchase. But do you really know what you will be facing? When you feel ready to buy a vehicle, whether is new or used, you need to do some homework before heading to the dealership. It’s a large purchase you are about to do, and you hopefully will have this product for many years to come, so you need to make sure you are 100% satisfied with the deal you get.

Do you live in a community with little space for parking? How many family members will be in the vehicle at a time? Along with many other questions.

Now that you know what kind of vehicles...

We had the opportunity to move an Acura NSX recently, and we thought we should share with all of you some facts about this vehicle. 2 doors- 2 passengers vehicle. All-wheel drive; 21/22 mpg city/hwy (est). 3.5-liter turbocharged V-6 engine. 573 hp. 476 lb-ft . 9-speed automatic transmission. Each NSX is individually painted and hand-finished.  The entire paint process occurs in-house over the course of more than 20 hours per car. BERLINA BLACK — an original NSX colour first seen in Japan in 1990.

Extreme braking is business as usual for the NSX, proven on b...

An Abacus Data survey revealed that millennials (people among the ages of 18-37) are not interested on working in an auto dealership in Canada.  Vehicle sales have reached a record high last year, and the trend is expected to continue. Even with this information out there, only one quarter of the people who participated on the survey, said they have considered working in different areas in an  auto dealership .
