Hello, I’m a Business student and am working on an assignment about motorcycling. Being not a motor rider myself, I would much like to know what you find important when choosing a motorcycle (esp. in the heavy motorcycle category) and also what is attracting you in the motor riding experience? What is important to you?

Thanks so much for your help!

silentv asked:


I am planning on selling my motorcycle this spring but I am unsure if I should replace the rear tire, sprockets and chain before doing so. This would cost me about $500, would I see this money back in my final selling price? I have a 02 Kawasaki ZR7S if it makes any difference. Thanks.
I am planning on getting something newer, hopefully an 05/06/07 GSX, CBR, or ZX6R. Just depends on the price I find.

What to Look for in Used Car Dealers Before Acquiring a Car

Posted by Joey in Car Dealer Articles
Car Dealer
Sharon Geeze asked:


The major source of acquiring used cars across the USA is through used car dealers. They offer a vast variety of cars, numerous financial deals and at times even chip in maintenance services free of cost. But what needs to be noted is that it is preferred for customers to buy used cars from registered car dealers instead of attaining them from private dealers.

Not everyone can be trusted, hence here are some factors which you can consider to figure out if your chosen used car dealer is trustable or not:

Status

The reputation or status of a used car dealer is a very fundamental factor, which must be taken into consideration before making a deal. It is rather easy to make a business deal with a just, sincere and helpful car dealer as long as he is reputable and holds a good status in the market. To locate reputable use car dealers, you can simply look up the local Better Business Bureau for reliability reports of car dealers. What you can also do is talk to your family and friends who acquired their cars from used car dealers and are satisfied with what they received.

Assistance

Locating a well-reputed used car dealer is not the only factor that matters. You also need to check the services offered by your chosen car dealer. The services might include maintenance and service appointments, loans to help you acquire your car if you are having financial issues, discounts which might vary on the basis of location and bargaining, extended car warranties etc.

Cost of the Vehicle

Do not assume that the price you are going to pay is for the entire car. This is not true when it comes to dealing with car dealers. A vast number of dealerships usually comprise of “add-ons” that might include tinting of windows, accessories for the car, CD changers, products for protecting the paint of your car, undercarriage coatings, accessories for your car’s interior etc. At times car dealers usually install the add-ons beforehand to force the customer into buying the car. If you truly require these supplementary add-ons, then they just might come as a blessing for you. But if you do not need them, check the car beforehand so you would not have to pay extra for things you do not even need.

These factors are a must to consider in every used car dealer, no matter how respectful or well-reputed he is. Finding a sincere and honest person to help you buy a used car might be the perfect investment!
