The reports also showed that nearly 30% of the victims are not even present in the car at the time of crash. This indicates that teen driver crash is not just about the teens behind the wheels but also the pedestrians and cyclists and other people who unfortunately become the part of the crash and die. According to Dennis Durbin, Co-Scientific Director of the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at CHOP and co-author of the report such incidents are hard to stop because policymakers alone cannot stop it. He further suggested that everybody including those who don’t have teen driver at home should ensure that the kids in their locality are driving the car safely and that they would not crash into somebody.

During the research there were many painful and shocking facts that came up which includes that there are more teen deaths because of car crash than suicides and cancer combined together. However the research report has provided some substantial information that can be used in the future to curb such car crash incidents. The report reveals that there were four key patterns found which includes speeding, use of alcohol, not wearing seat belts and distracted driving. In the research it was found that in more than 50% of the teen driver crash incidents the driver was speeding the car and was had not put on seat belts for safety. In 40% of the cases the driver had positive blood alcohol level and in 16% of the cases the death was because of distracted driving.

Here I am going to give you some very useful tips that will help you in the maintenance of the car’s engine. Don’t forget that when someone says that a car is in good condition then he is actually pointing out that the engine condition of the car is good along with the external goodness.

• The most important part of any engine is its engine oil that counts a lot for the performance of the car, try to change the engine oil of the engine periodically and it’s better to get it changed after every 3,000 to 6,000 miles.
• You must also keep an eye over the oil level and refill it when required because it is also important. In every car there is an indicator of oil level that glows if the oil level is below the standard, you must try to avoid this glowing as its not good for the car and get the oil changed after some intervals of time.
• Many times the engine got the problem of being too cool, you feel hard to heat it up and this mainly occurs because of the improper working of the thermostat. Try to fix this problem as soon as possible either by replacing or repairing the thermostat.
• You must check the radiator on the regular basis because a little leakage or corrosion can be a cause of some big problems. You must also make this thing very sure that the engine is carrying the good volume of coolants that will help it to avoid the extra heating.
• Another part of engine that affects the performance are the air filters, the air filters needs to be changed every 15,000 miles. You can also get it changed if you find it too dirty; keeping them perfectly clean will ensure the perfect performance of your engine.
• You style of driving also impacts the working of your engine, in order to keep the engine in a good condition try to drive smoothly without bringing too much difficulty for the engine as the harsh driving brings extra heat onto the engine and thus affects it badly.
• The spark plugs also carry great impact on the engine; try to inspect the condition of spark plugs after regular intervals as the damaged spark plugs badly affect the performance of your engine so take care of them.

These were some of the tips that will help you to maintain the engine of your car, once the maintenance of engine gets fully scheduled then you don’t need to worry about the value of your car. Keeping the car clean and tidy from internal as well as external side plus also keeping an eye over the engine ensures the perfect value of your car for long time.

Selling the car is the stage which comes in the life of every car owner and you must have to prepare your car for sale even if you don’t have plans to sell your car in the near future.  You must keep your car in such a good condition that at every stage of its life it remains perfect for sale and can earn a good profit for you.

You must think that what you will look for a used car if you are going to buy one, being a car owner you must try to bring all those features in your car that you want to have in a used car. We all know that even a single scratch on the car’s surface can cause the loss of quite much money so you must take care of your car either its is a new or old one.

Here I am going to give you some tips that will help you to prepare your car for sale.

• As I have discussed earlier, you must have to think like a buyer if you are going to sell your car. Put yourself in the buyer’s position and you’ll surely want some basic things like a car that is in a good condition, that has been used with proper care and a car that has a good engine condition.
• The first and foremost thing is to make your car presentable not only from the exterior but also from the interiors. For a new car the best suggestion is to take it to some detailer and have it cleaned from the interior and exterior plus also the engine. Remember that a clean and tidy car gives a very fantastic impression to the buyer no matter how old the model of car is.
• Though you are habitual of the waxing treatment of your car on the daily basis still when you are going to sell your car to someone. Perform the waxing treatments from some professional as they will also clear all the minor scratches or bumps on the surface of your car.
• Now that you are going to sell your car, look for all the broken parts like broken handle or a side mirror. I must emphasize that looks matters a lot for a car so you must bring the perfect looks for your car.
• The old stickers on the bumpers and other parts of the car mostly affects the looks so before taking your car for sale, remove all the stickers without affecting the paint. Mostly the buyers get distracted by the stickers so you must not leave any kind of weakness point for the buyer.
• The seat covers are the main internal parts that the buyers will see, if your seat covers have got old then you should change them before displaying the car to the buyers. Make sure that the color of the seat covers are perfectly matching with the paint of your car because they’ll work greatly for the looks of your car.

So these were some of the tips that will help you greatly to get a good price at the time of resale of your car. A little care on the looks and external features of your car will help you get a good profit on your car.

Of all the assets a person carries, the car carries a very great importance because a little damage to any part of your car can make you face a great loss in terms of its price. The maintenance of the car is one of the obligatory tasks for any car owner but most of people work on the maintenance of exterior parts like the frequent polishing and cleaning the tires etc but have you ever thought that the engine, radiator and other internal parts also needs your attention.

A beautifully polished car with partially or completely damaged internal parts can only be a good show piece but the real worth of this car would be quite lower than the car with normal exterior style but amazingly well working engine and other parts. So now go for complete cleaning of your car if you want it to be the best for you not only now but also at the time when you’ll head to the market for its sale.

• The car cleaning is not a task of one to two hours, you never know what the complete cleaning would take so spare out a whole take if you are planning for a complete washing of your car. Select some holiday and don’t take any other task for you other than just completely cleaning the car.
• Open the bumper of your car and this area will tell you how good condition your car is having. Take some cloth and start removing dust from all the visible parts under this bonnet. Don’t play with the mess of wires if you don’t have much idea about them as replacing them to their original location after cleaning might not be easy.
• After covering the area under bonnet come to the interiors section of your car, remove the wrappers and other stuff present inside and for the seats and mats you can use the vacuum cleaner. Remove all the dust that might be present on the dashboard and other areas and then polishing or spraying the dashboard is also a good idea.
• Now come to the exterior cleaning by thoroughly washing the car, you should try to do the washing activity almost daily because it adds up to the life of your car. The spots like bird’s dropping or lime stone dripping damages the paint of car if the car is not washed daily so you should try to free your car from these things daily with the help of washing.
• Now after washing the windows and other external parts of your car, come to the tiers, start off with a good brush and clean the tiers with it and after it use some hard sponge for further cleaning, one thing that gives tough time while cleaning the tiers is the brake dust, if you are unable to remove it from the solution which you are using then go for some chemical brake dust and alloy wheel cleaner.
• Take some fresh clean water and rinse off all the chemicals and solutions which you have applied over the car, make it sure that water reaches all the areas where you have applied the brush or sponge.
• Now make the car dry with the help of some soft cloth, the cloth must have to be soft otherwise it may bring minor scratches on the external part of your car. After drying leave the car for sometime so that the moisture which might have left behind may be removed.
• Now do the waxing of the exterior body as it will ensure the perfect shine of your car, waxing the car daily is also a good idea.

These were some of the tips that can help you in getting the proper clean of your car, remember that proper cleaning will not only make your car look beautiful but it also adds up to the value of your car.

Now a great amount of attention is required for buying used cars because there are many chances to get trapped by fake people selling bad conditioned cars. In this article I am going to discuss some of the buying tips for the used car which will be very useful for you throughout the purchasing period and even more after it when you’ll use that car.

1. First of all before going to the dealer check out how much budget you are carrying, if you are going for some car loans by bank then also decide how much loan will be convenient for you and all that. Analyzing your budget will let you know that up to what category or class of car you can go and the during the budget decision also check out how much money you’ll be having for the future maintenance of the car because the used cars require some more maintenance as compared to the zero meter cars.
2. Then analyze the purpose for what you are buying that car; you are buying it for the whole family or for your own personal use only and how long you are expected to travel with this car and some other factors like that. Analyzing the utility of your car will let you determine what style of car suits your needs and if you have a large family then the idea of buying a mini car is really not going to work.
3. When you’ll reach the dealer’s place you’ll come across a number of cars but it would be better if you go for a car which is familiar to you, either your colleagues or friends are using it and you know the performance. Don’t get trapped by the dealers talks and think of your own what car would be best for you? And thus select the car that appeals to you the most, this way you will be able to get what you want otherwise there are great chances of fake.
4. After deciding the car check out the exterior of it completely and thoroughly, check if the body is not rusted or it is a accidental model. The areas which should be especially observed for this purpose should be seat-belt anchorages, door locks/hinges, suspension mounting points and some other exterior places that you can see.
5. Now come to the interior side of the car, try to look completely the dashboard area in the inside out manner check the switches, knobs, audio players, wiring, seats with safety belts, the comfort level of seats, brake paddles and clutches etc. the signs of water leakage inside the car should be observes at its best and the complete analysis of the interior will set you comfort level in that car and if you feel the seats, brakes or other important parts defective or slow functioning while driving then avoid that car.
6. Another most important part is the engine which should be thoroughly checked so try to check for the condition of engine, engine oil, and radiator leaks and coolant stains because the working of engine will be the factors defining the performance of car.
7. Try to go for a certified car mechanic so that chances of error should be reduced.
8. All the paper work related to the legal transfer of the car should be settled in the beginning to avoid tension for future.  Once all those matters get settled then feel free to take this car home.
