Have you ever had that bad luck, the bad luck you get when you go to buy a car and then a week after purchasing it it breaks down on you, it doesn’t matter how much you pay for it it always seems to happen. Well I am as we speak in this situation myself, I bought a car and I have spent thousands trying to repair it.

Well the government are now going to look at offering folk £2000 to vehicles that are older than 9 years old off of the roads. There are a lot of countries which have tested this scheme and which has turned out at working great. There are lots of ways that this can help you let us have a look.

Most importantly the environment will be getting saved by removing polluting cars from the roads and ultimatley bringing in new and fresh ones. We do all know that the older a car gets the more pollution occurs. The second benefit we will see is that it will definitely help the new car economy which at the moment is struggling. By giving people £2000 they will be able to put that towards buying themselves a new vehicle, which will boost the economy a tremendous amount.

And lastly it would help normal people who get ripped off by cars, to actually take the effort to buy them selves a brand new one. I can see a numerous amount of people that will try and benefit from this but hopefully the government will stop it.

The reason for asking this question is because of the recent declaration by the government that they will be giving £2000 to owners of vehicles that are more than nine years old. The reason they are doing this is to avoid pollution caused by older engines. Old vehicles cause a lot more pollution simply because of the fact that did not have the technology in the past, so that really leads me to the question of whether or not new cars are going to be made to last anymore?

The reason for saying this is because we all know that old cars last much longer then ones that are built in this day and age. So now that the government have announced their intentions can car manufacturers stop making cars that last? For one of two reasons really which are stated below.

First off they now only really need to make cars to last a decade as the government have made their decision to scrap any vehicle that is older then nine years old so make sure they create vehicles that will go for a decade without breaking down.

The second reason is really for the environment, is it really safe to drive a vehicle that is ten years old, we have all seen how fast technology is developing and in around ten years time from now we will probably have near enough to 0% of emitting pollution from cars. So staying upto date with the innovations in technology is essential.

The major downside that I can see from this is that most mechanics will lose out on business. With vehicles having a shorter lifespan so will a mechanics work.

When it came to choosing your first car, chances are you looked first at things like how cool the car was and how much you wanted to drive it. Then reality hit when you saw the price, and finally you chose what you could afford and attempted to source the best model in your price range.

Selecting the right car for the family isn’t so different from how you picked that first car. Sure, you’ve probably had several cars. And yes, perhaps you now have a slightly larger budget. But the fact is, with the money you do have available, you need to buy the best car for your family.

When choosing a car, the first thing to consider is its main use. If this will be the “second car” and not everyone in the familly will normally ride in it, the car may not need to be as large or have as many family oriented features.

Next, who’s going to get the most use out of the car? The main driver should find the car comfortable, and that includes how the seats feel, where the controls are located, how they are built, how the car drives and whether the mirrors and controls are adjustable to suit the main driver’s requirements.

The next thing to decide on is not what many people think of, but it is equally important. You need to be sure that the trunk is large enough and that it has a large opening. Some cars with huge trunks will not take big objects in the trunk because the opening is too narrow.

You also need to consider how many doors you need. If more than two people usually ride in the car, four doors are almost a requirement, especially as kids grow. It can become a very big pain to get people in and out of the back of a two-door car.

How roomy the seats are goes along with the number of doors, but be sure to check that the there’s enough room in the back for adults as well as kids. while your kids may be small now you want to make sure that as they grow, there is room for everyone in the car without scrunching.

Mileage should also be a concern, as a number of smaller cars that give good mileage can be  too small for your family. However, as many car companies are starting to concentrate more on mileage, you may come across a suitable van or sedan for your family and get better mileage than your old car gives.

Finally, buying a car is a very personal decision that you and your family need to take together. The foremost thing is that you should feel that you have bought a car you can afford, that both you and your family can be comfortable in and that will give you with years of service.

After all, buying a car is a very long-term commitment, and you need to be happy with your selection for the life of the car. Just taking the time to examine your options and determine what you really need enables you to enjoy your car long after that new-car smell wears off.
