Not very long ago, the only cars that were available in India were the Ambassador and the Premier Padmini. The Ambassador is a replica of the Morris Oxford – an old British car, while the Premier Padmini was a Fiat 1100 assembled in India.
All that was in pre-liberalisation India, which existed before 1991, when the first liberalization measures were announced. Earlier, the production of the Maruti Suzuki 800 hatchback car in 1983 – a joint venture between Government of India and Suzuki Motors of Japan, paved the way for a renaissance in the Indian automobile sector.
Post liberalization, India is on every car manufacturers map. The reasons are not hard to notice. Currently, India is the second largest two-wheeler market and the fourth largest commercial vehicle market in the world. Not only it is the eleventh largest passenger car market globally, but it is also expected to be the seventh largest by 2016.
Post liberalization, many foreign manufacturers have lined up and have setup base in India. Other domestic manufacturers have also improved production levels and are in the race for producing better models as well.
Some of the car manufacturers who have set up base in India are Audi, BMW, Chevrolet Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Mahindra, Maruti, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Skoda, Suzuki, Tata, cadillac, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo. India’s economic growth is booming currently. These manufacturers have set up manufacturing facilities in India, or are importing cars and spares to meet the demands of this growing market.
There are many reasons for the impressive growth of the Indian car industry. Some of these are comparatively easy availability of vehicle finance, attractive rates of interest, and convenient instalments.
Competition has forced manufacturers to be innovative and responsive to customer demands and needs. Now that India is not alien to quality and perfection, customer expectations have soared to higher levels. Depending upon customers needs, four segments - small, midsize, premium and sports utility vehicles currently represent the car market in the country.
This phenomenon benefits those who want to buy cars, but are not able to afford new ones. Many companies like Maruti Suzuki (Maruti True Value) have also established resale showrooms where people can purchase genuine, good condition, second hand cars at reasonable prices.
With the emergence of favourable trends in the automobile sector in India, what remains to be seen is how these developments will go a long way to transform the mobility needs of the ordinary Indian.

In these days, being practical is a must. This is the reason why most of the independent contractors prefer to rent construction equipment instead of buying their own. Most of the contractors tend to believe that by following this practice they are already saving themselves a good amount of sum.
Apart from that reason, these contractors are also avoiding several risks, which are obtainable when they buy their own, by renting construction equipment. For independent contractors, purchasing their own brand new heavy equipment can be risky since they don’t have a sufficient amount to spend on the machine. In addition, purchasing brand new construction equipment may also require an ample time to regain the investment.
The good thing now is that small or independent contractors no longer need to involve into a great risk just to own construction equipment. This time, another alternative is offered; instead of buying a brand new crane, grader, compactor, trailer, loader, lift, scraper, black hole loader,Dozer or any other variety of heavy equipment—small or independent contractors may prefer buying used construction equipment.
This alternative is a good way to own construction equipment, especially for the contractors who do not have enough budgets to buy a brand new one. There is totally no harm in preferring to this alternative. If one will carefully think, opting to used construction equipment is a more practical choice than buying brand new machines because of their too expensive costs.
Sure, there are also risks in buying second-hand machines. However, by simply knowing the exact machines to purchase and by simply knowing what to inspect from used construction equipment; the possible risks can be completely avoided. To further ensure the reliability of the used construction equipment, the following inspection tips can be helpful:
1. Inspect for minor damages on the machine.
Check the error-indicators at the front panel. Also, do not forget to note if there are any missing rear-panel that interconnect cables. You may also see if the CRT displays are blurry. Minor damages are given when buying used machine; however, keep in mind that this damages will not risk the safety of the person who will maneuver the machine.
2. Test drive the machine before finally buying
If there is one mistake contractors can commit when buying used machines, that is the failure to test drive the equipment. Sure, a careful visual inspection of the machine is needed. But doing this alone can result to inaccurate findings. To acquire a reliable inspection, the machine needs to be tried out by the buyer himself.
When buying used construction equipment, it is better to order from an established dealer. Unlike other sellers, dealers can give warranties to grant the buyer an ample time to test the usability of the machine.

Started in a small warehouse by Michio Suzuki back in 1909, Suzuki aimed at making better looms for the Japanese silk industry. It was only thirty years after its existence that the company started thinking of diversifying into cars, motorcycles and related machinery. In fact, it was only after the collapse of the cotton market in 1951, that Suzuki seriously got into the motorcycle and car industry.
One of the first two-wheeled innovations by Suzuki was a motorized bicycle called the “Power Free”. This bicycle was so ingeniously designed that the government of Japan gave Suzuki a subsidy in order to continue their research in motorcycle and car innovation. As time progressed, the company started to build better and better motorcycles. And by 1962, Suzuki Motorcycles had won their first 50cc Grand Prix World Championship.
By the late 60s, the company had become known and respected in the American and European motorbike world. One of their best-selling machines during this time period was the Suzuki X-6 Hustler, which was the fastest Japanese 250cc for that time.
Suzuki Motorcycles also gained fame in the motocross world. In the 60s and 70s, motocross racing was largely dominated by European motorcycle manufacturers. Japanese motorcycles did not have much of a presence or respect in this arena, but during this time, Suzuki Motorcycles won the World Championship several times between 1971 and 1976 in the 500cc MX race. In addition to this, the company also won every 125cc world championship from 1975 to 1984.
By the late ‘80s, Suzuki had gained the respect of all within the racing community at the highest levels. One of the best Suzuki Motorcycles of this era was the GSX–R750. Its design and energy was unbeatable and, at that time, it was the lightest bike around in its class.
The Suzuki GSX-R was without any doubt one of the most important and influential motorcycles of the 80s. Even now, twenty years later, you will find the GSX–R line in Suzuki Motorcycles current catalog. In fact you will find it in several sizes ranging from 600cc to 1000cc.
Since the GSX–R750, Suzuki Motorcycles has come with many other successful models and today, Suzuki is a well-known name in the Motorcycling world . The company has won over a dozen World Championships along with many other races. Their long-standing emphasis on innovation as well as their meticulous care in craftsmanship has lead the company from strength to strength for more than 50 years.
For all this Suzuki is now one of the four big names in the Japanese motorcycles industry. If planning in buying on changing your ride, their models must be included in list of possibilities.

First Step: Decide the type of limousine (Standard Stretch, Super Stretch SUV, SUV Hummer, Escalade, Rolls Royce) desired color, the number of passenger. How many hours you would like to rent the limousine.
Questions to ask when calling to inquire about renting a limousine
While most people assume that all companies are equal, well they are not. Most consumers concern themselves with the hourly rate first and this is a typical mistake, since most of the times you get what you pay for!
When you hear a price that is much lower than other companies be for warned it will probably mean the year, make and features of the limousine offered are older and over used. So the word to the wise: Pay the extra $5-15 dollars more per hour. For a first class vehicle and the professional service you can expect to get from a well trained driver. Besides when you consider that a typical 3 hour minimum you are only talking $75.00 dollars on the high end for a new six passenger limousine versus one that has gone beyond the 100,000 mile mark and the car looks like it too.
Multiple Vehicle Discounts
If renting more than one vehicle. Example: a limousine, a limousine bus, be sure to ask about discounts that may apply to the second vehicle. Many companies offer special discounted rates when multiple vehicles are used.
Murphy’s Laws Back Up
Will the limousine company provide you with a live person to contact during your scheduled event should you require any assistance. If not, be certain to obtain a contact phone number of an operating manager in charge.
Some limousine companies have a uniform standard while others do not. The appearance of the driver is as important as the appearance of the vehicle and you will want to have your driver appearance professional and clean.
If renting for a wedding and want to display a “Just Married” sign can it be attached to the vehicle? If so, does the company provide a standard sign or allow you to attach your own. If so is their and extra cleaning or service charge.

For many auto enthusiasts, there is little difference between an antique car and a classic car but in reality, there is a huge discrepancy. In most states, 32 years is the benchmark for a car to be considered as an antique car. While a collector car, although usually fitting that age bracket, could be any vehicle that was unique in its time.
Back in the late 1930s and early 1940s, Germanys Volkswagen was hoping to make an impression in the world automobile market. They couldnt make any in-roads until World War II ended due to material availability and the fact that their factory was busy with military orders. One of their first attempts after the war used its small car design with Porsche engineering and they marketed the mid-engine 914. An excellent first antique car for a new collector.
Some collectors fear the often-daunting task of rebuilding an antique car, especially those from the early 1900s. The Ford Model T was an excellent vehicle for its time and antique car collectors are willing to pay for one not requiring a lot of work, especially if it doesnt need a lot of almost impossible to find parts.
Some Classic Cars are Antiques
A 1957 Chevy, while in age it is considered an antique car, is better known as a classic because that is a car that people remember with fondness from previous days. A 1964 or 1965 Ford Mustang, while not on the original muscle car list, is often coveted as a classic by those who owned one in the late 1960s or 1970s.
So beloved are some of the antique cars that car companies are beginning to bring back the name and the basic design, although with modifications. The Volkswagen Beetle, made in 1938, one of the longest-running models in automotive history, was brought back in 1998. Built on the frame of another VW model, the Golf, it is larger than the original bug but has a great similarity in its shape.
The Ford Mustang also made a comeback as few years ago, but not as the small unintimidating antique car from 40 years ago. Its a spruced-up version with minor body modifications and a much more powerful power plant.
The Dodge Charger, long known as one of the better muscle cars and now sought after as an antique car, is making resurgence, still as a muscle car with a power engine and a slightly modified style.
Some people may view these cars as an antique car simply desired for a collection; others see them as classic cars; there for the memories.
