You know who has their boot on the throat of the economy? Big Paint. No matter where you are, people need to buy paint, and it's always expensive. Used to be, paint was three bucks a can. Then they got six buck cans. Now it's twenty-two dollars for a spray can, and an instalment plan to get enough to turn your baseboards Landlord White again. Last week, my cousin thought of the colour purple in a positive light, and someone from Cloverdale showed up at his house to ask him for eight dollars.

It's really bad, because I've got all these things I want to be cool new colours. Unfortunately, none of them are worth me spending the money to make them those cool new colours. Auto body shop technicians know all too well the pain of fogging a $250 Honda with $600 in Bondo on it with $800 in paint. Especially when they screw up a pass, and have to throw another hundo or so into the roaring fire.

Usually, my instinct with this kind of thing is to make my own paint. Screw those know-nothing big-brain corporate types. Grinding up pine cones, twigs, bushes, and expired pudding did make a colour, but it wasn't very appealing. Intern called it "Baby Shit Brown." We only sent a couple thousand gallons of that to Home Depot, before they asked us to stop leaving it in their store and driving away real fast.

There is hope, though. I've been paying attention to the highway repair schedule, and if you drive real close to the trucks, you can at least get a little bit of yellow or white splashed off of the road when they are painting it. Sure, that makes everyone working on the job site mad, but we're all suffering under Big Paint's cruel yoke. Don't get angry at me: get angry at Home Depot for not throwing the returned cans away in their unlocked dumpster. Y'all owe me for all those unpaid invoices for Baby Shit Brown that we've been sending to your headquarters with other companies' names on the top.

Summer Solstice - Beach Episode by Night

Commissioned art by @medeaft

Author's Note: My “drabble” (inspired by a music ask) for the lovely @beach-episode-by-night event. A heartfelt thank you to @mortifying-macaroni and @alibellerosetta whom I dedicate this piece to. Your encouragement made it possible.

Along the I-10 highway to Tucson, Wynter takes a detour toward the coastline on impulse, chasing the memory of a bygone summer’s day.

Content Warnings: Suicidal thoughts, references to murder, wraith, pre-canon, weird uncle/niece relationship, blame it on the Giovanni.

How long has it been?

The chime sounded as she left the car door open with her keys in the ignition, monotonous, comforting yet cajoling her to do something about it. It didn’t matter; hers was the lone automobile on the desolate street. If someone wanted this piece of junk, they’d earn the right by swiping it off her hands behind her back.

In the tepid late October air, Wynter had taken a detour off the I-10 toward the Gulf Coast on a whim, with the windows rolled down because the air conditioner wasn’t working—it never did. Closer to the basin, the smell of brine from the Atlantic hit her tenfold. She had been swimming in her thoughts, her reflexes on autopilot, as if she remembered the route by heart. That was the question, what did she remember? Why had she come here, when she had spent the last two decades running off and reinventing herself, just like her estranged sire, Violetta, taught her to?

Instead of answering, she faced away from the wind, lashes downturned and fluttering, as she cupped her hand over her mouth, lighting up a cigarette and ignoring the faint protests of her Beast. The wind was still as violent as she’d left it. Heeled boots crunched into gravel, which finally opened out to soft mounds of sand. She wasn’t in a hurry; she had time to kill, even with her battered, old Honda that was on its last legs. 

The Prince could wait. 

What was a couple of USB sticks that he desired good for? They lay stuffed and suffocated in her worn-down satchel—one she’d found while rummaging through the trash—with its straps chewed and frayed at the ends. Maybe just enough for emergency repairs and a meal or two, if she was lucky.

From afar, she could make out the salt-stripped cafes, gaudy tiki bars with their balding straw roofs, and a row of little wooden clapboard houses, paint-chipped and peeling, along the boardwalk. Weather-beaten “For sale” and “We’re closed!” signs hung awkwardly from the establishments, some on their last nail, swaying to and fro, creaking in the breeze. Her gaze trailed over the tired beach chairs, deflated pool toys, and broken surfboards. A smattering of them had found their way across the divide, acting like driftwood in the sea.

The sound of children’s giggles and bare feet pattering on the floorboards echoed in the distance. She gripped her bag tight, but did not look back. Her shoes were sinking into the wet sand now, and the air carried warm moisture which settled beneath the layer of clothes onto her skin. Her very own form of sweat.

The moon illuminated her path, but at the edge of the ocean, she was at a loss for what to do. Why was she here? What had called her? How—

“Wynter,” it whispered, balmy in the zephyr. “Why don’t you come out to play?”

She shielded her eyes, as though blinded by the brilliant sun, peering out into the vast space before her. And there he was, clear as day, in his light blue shorts and a roseate burn creeping through his tanned back, wading toward her in the water. Earlier, she had been sulking under the beach umbrella while her mother flipped through a magazine and her father chatted jovially with other men over rounds of drinks at the bar.

The wind was howling. Fine, white sand swirled in the current. She didn’t like how hot it got under her feet. Everything hurt. But for Lucien, she would bear through it all. His smile ached as she splashed into the water, salt clinging to her lips and foam gathering in the tendrils of her hair. She took a deep breath and dived, dipping under the waves of the high tide. A strong pair of arms entangled around her waist as she was drawn out of the sea, and she wriggled to break free of their grasp while her uncle chuckled. And soon, she was laughing too.

“My very own mermaid,” he murmured. 

Wynter bared her teeth and hissed, “But I will drown you and taste your flesh.”

He touched her chin, smiling sadly. “Well, it would be worth it, to me.”

She didn’t think anything of it then, bounding out of Lucien’s embrace and paddling through the waters. That day, under the cloudless sky and the sun’s rays glittering beyond the horizon, she felt how magnificent it was to be alive. Glancing over at Lucien, she paused, meeting his eyes, shifting azure blue, watching the droplets trickle down his brow. The waves crashed on shore. Seagulls crooned overhead. Time whiled away in silence. Their eyes searching for a morsel they could hold on to. Years of an unspoken bond buried in a look. He believed in it then, how pure and indescribable it was. And the curve of his mouth reflected hers.

For all the trials he would be put through, he’d gladly suffer, even if there was no end in sight. She waded closer to him, the water now reaching waist-high. But it was murky. Her cigarette butt had gone out, leaving traces of the woody scent of dark tobacco in the air, but even that too was fading. Instead of the heat of the sun beating down her back, she encountered the cool, umbral glow of the moon, iridescent on her bloodless skin. She wanted it to burn her alive.

Her Beast recoiled at the mere thought of seeing the light of day, but Wynter entertained it for a moment longer, savoring the fear, the way the light extinguished in someone’s eyes before they expired.

“Let me drown with you,” she prayed, the flicker of an unearthly sheen present in her eyes.

In her peripheral vision, a shadow flitted between the steel scaffolding of the once-grandiose pier, now in a state of irreversible decay, rusting to the elements. She remembered standing there as a child, sick from cotton candy, and the noise of the fairground rides flooding her ears. A postcard marred with heavy creases—one of the many within the bundle she had stashed in her glove compartment. She held it out in front of the pier, shutting one eye and squinting, then doing the same with the other. 

Every year, she received a blank card, the address scribbled in handwriting she didn’t recognize. Regardless of whether she stayed at a temporary residence or relied on throwaway collection points dotted across the country, they arrived without fail. “Wish you were here’s” by the ghost of a loved one on perpetual vacation. Places she had been to. Places she had dreamed of. This time, a picturesque painting of the old pier at dawn. 

It could have been a trap, but she found it strangely comforting, knowing she had a place to come back to, observing the swell and receding waves until she would be nothing more than ashes floating on the surface at the break of day. Kindred talked about death as if it were so final, but to her, death was only the beginning. A concrete structure on the pier groaned, loosening from its bolt before collapsing into the sea. The sound and vibrations were tremendous, but Wynter didn’t flinch.

How long could she drag this out? How much more could she keep on going?

For a while, she had been aware of a presence watching her, but made no sign to acknowledge its existence. It was tempting to seek it out, as was the habit of being a hunter, but she decided otherwise. The Shroud was thin here. Mortals had long since abandoned this place. Yet some remained. 

There was a deep rooted tingle in her spine. She had overstayed her welcome; she should leave, but not before—

The postcard slipped from her fingers, drifting in the stream until she lost sight of it. A featherlight kiss on the nape of her neck. She shuddered again and closed her eyes. When they opened, she checked the time on her cracked iPhone screen. 

Without a word, she followed her tracks back to her awaiting car, the chime still ringing incessantly. She hopped in and drove off, leaving whatever had happened that day behind. 

The Prince of Tucson couldn’t wait any longer.

Car Depreciation Guide: Understanding and Minimizing Value Loss

Car depreciation is an inevitable reality for vehicle owners. The moment a new car leaves the dealership, it starts losing value. However, understanding how depreciation works and knowing the strategies to minimize value loss can help you make smarter financial decisions. This guide will explore the key factors influencing car depreciation and practical tips to retain your vehicle’s value.

What Is Car Depreciation?

Car depreciation refers to the decline in a vehicle's value over time. Typically, a new car loses about 20-30% of its value within the first year and around 50% after five years. This decline is influenced by factors such as mileage, condition, market demand, and technological advancements.

Factors That Affect Car Depreciation

Make and Model: Some brands hold their value better due to reliability, reputation, and demand.

Mileage: The more miles a car has, the less it’s worth. High mileage signifies more wear and tear.

Condition: Regular maintenance and accident history impact resale value. A well-maintained vehicle depreciates slower.

Market Trends: Economic factors, fuel prices, and consumer preferences influence car values.

Newer Technology: Cars with outdated technology lose value faster than those with modern features.

Supply and Demand: Limited-edition or high-demand models depreciate slower than oversupplied ones.

How to Minimize Car Depreciation

While depreciation is unavoidable, you can take steps to slow down the rate at which your car loses value.

1. Choose a Car with High Resale Value

Before purchasing, research vehicles that retain value well. Brands like Toyota, Honda, and Subaru generally have better resale values than others.

2. Maintain Your Vehicle Regularly

Routine maintenance, such as oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections, helps keep your car in good shape, preserving its value.

3. Drive Less, If Possible

Since mileage significantly impacts depreciation, limiting your vehicle’s mileage can help maintain its worth.

4. Keep the Car Clean and Damage-Free

Regular cleaning and waxing protect your car’s exterior. Avoid smoking inside the Car , and repair minor damages promptly to maintain its appeal.

5. Avoid Unnecessary Modifications

Custom paint jobs, oversized wheels, or performance modifications may reduce the car’s resale value by making it less appealing to potential buyers.

6. Consider Buying a Used Car

Purchasing a lightly used car (1-3 years old) helps you avoid the steep depreciation drop that occurs in the first year.

7. Sell at the Right Time

Timing the sale of your Car can make a difference. Selling before major new model releases or during high-demand seasons can fetch a better price.

Final Thoughts

Car depreciation is an unavoidable aspect of vehicle ownership, but understanding its factors and taking proactive steps can help minimize losses. By choosing the right vehicle, maintaining it well, and selling at the right time, you can retain more of your car’s value and maximize your investment. Whether you’re buying, selling, or holding onto your vehicle, this guide will help you make informed decisions to mitigate depreciation.

Purchasing Salvage Vehicles Online: All You Need to Know

Purchasing salvage vehicles online is an effective means to be cost-saving while purchasing a car for personal use, repair, or resale. On sites such as Autobidinfo, you can view many salvage car auctions that have discounted prices on popular brands and models. If you search for a salvage vehicle for repair, a project vehicle, or an offbeat classic, salvage auctions are the best method of acquiring the right car at a discount.

Learning About Salvage Car Auctions

Salvage car auctions, including IAAI salvage auctions and Insurance Auto Auctions, provide consumers with the opportunity to bid on vehicles that have been classified as a total loss by an insurance company. These vehicles are usually accompanied by damage reports, enabling consumers to estimate repair prices and resale value before they buy. Sites such as Autobidinfo offer VIN history check tools, photos, and latest bid prices at Copart and other major auctions to aid you in making a more informed choice.

Pros and Cons of Salvage Cars

Prior to entering the salvage car industry, you should be aware of the pros and cons of salvage cars:

Pros:

Less Expensive: Salvage cars are significantly cheaper than their clean-title equivalents, and this is why they are extremely affordable.

Potential for Customization: Most car buyers recycle salvage vehicles to their own designs, either for resale or private use.

Hidden Gems: Salvage auctions sometimes carry rare and vintage cars that would otherwise not be found through standard dealerships.

Potential Profit Resale Value: Salvage vehicles, if repaired well, can be resold at a profit.

Disadvantages:

Unknown Damage Severity: Although auction websites offer damage reports, certain problems might not appear until repair work is underway.

Limited Financing: Banks and lenders shun financing salvage-title vehicles, so buyers have to pay cash.

Increased Insurance Costs: Salvage cars can cost more to insure because they are perceived to be riskier.

Difficulty Reselling: Although some salvage cars retain wonderful resale value, others struggle to sell because of their history.

Finding the Best Salvage Car Deals

To maximize salvage car auctions, take the following into consideration:

Research the History of the Vehicle – Always check the VIN report to understand the history of the damage to the vehicle, title, and former owners.

Estimate Repair Expenses – Determine estimated repair costs prior to bidding to prevent overpaying.

Final Bid Prices at Copart – Knowing final bid prices in the past on Copart will allow you to forecast market trends and bid accordingly.

Select the Right Auction Site – Sites like Autobidinfo offer access to IAAI salvage auctions, insurance auto auctions, and more.

Check Local Laws – Salvage title laws differ from state to state, so you need to make sure that you are eligible to register and drive the vehicle after repair.

Maximizing Resale Value of Salvage Cars

If resale of salvage cars is your business, maximizing the resale value of salvage cars is an utmost concern. Below are some of the tips:

Choose Popular Models: Toyota, Honda, Ford, and Subaru cars have higher resale value because of their demand for parts.

Accent Cosmetic Repairs: Small dents, scratches, and touch-ups on the paint can greatly improve the overall appearance of a vehicle and get it sold.

Keep Records in Writing: Keep repair documentation, before-and-after photography, and inspection reports to make the buyers more confident.

Price Reasonably: List similar salvage vehicles and compare to set a reasonable price.

Insurance Auto Auctions

Insurance auto auctions have an immense inventory of cars ranging from used-light units to theft recoveries and flood damage units. With Autobidinfo, you can search through hundreds of auction records, evaluate the condition of the vehicles for sale, and bid in confidence.

Dashcam Chronicles: OwnSilent RN46 Uncovers Hit-and-Run Driver

Incident Overview

On March 8, 2029, Linda Carter, a 38-year-old nurse, had just finished a long shift at St. Vincent Hospital in San Diego, California. She walked to the parking garage, eager to head home in her 2022 Honda Accord. However, as she approached her car, she noticed something was terribly wrong—her rear bumper was severely dented, and there were scratches along the side of the vehicle.

Panic set in as Linda realized that no one was around and there was no note left behind by the responsible driver. She had no idea who had hit her car or when it had happened. She checked the parking lot’s security cameras, only to be told that the cameras were not functioning properly that day. Frustrated and worried about the cost of repairs, Linda feared she would have to pay out of pocket.

But then she remembered something—her OwnSilent RN46 Dashcam was still running, even while the car was parked. With a sense of hope, she quickly accessed the footage.

Role of Dashcam Evidence

The OwnSilent RN46 Dashcam had been recording the entire time using its parking mode feature, which automatically turns on when motion or an impact is detected. As Linda reviewed the footage, she discovered exactly what had happened:

At 3:27 AM, a silver SUV attempted to park in the space next to her car but misjudged the turn.

The SUV’s front bumper scraped along the side of Linda’s Accord, leaving deep scratches on the paint.

Instead of stopping to assess the damage, the driver backed up and sped away, leaving the scene.

Fortunately, the dashcam’s crystal-clear 4K recording had captured the vehicle’s license plate number, as well as a clear view of the driver’s face.

Linda immediately took the footage to the San Diego Police Department, providing them with solid evidence of the hit-and-run.

Investigation and Legal Proceedings

With the dashcam footage in hand, the police were able to track down the vehicle’s owner, identified as Daniel Thompson, a 42-year-old insurance salesman. When questioned by authorities, Daniel initially denied any involvement. However, when confronted with the high-definition dashcam footage, he had no choice but to admit to the accident.

Since Daniel had fled the scene, he was charged with a hit-and-run, a crime that carries severe penalties in California, including fines, license suspension, and possible jail time. Additionally, his insurance was forced to fully cover Linda’s car repairs, saving her from a costly out-of-pocket expense.

The case was resolved within a week, all thanks to the unbiased, indisputable evidence captured by Linda’s OwnSilent RN46 Dashcam.

Emotional Impact

For Linda, the incident was initially frustrating and stressful, but the dashcam turned the situation around. Without it, she would have had no way to prove who damaged her car. The fact that the OwnSilent RN46 Dashcam recorded the hit-and-run driver and provided a clear license plate number gave her a sense of justice.

On the other hand, Daniel Thompson learned the hard way that trying to escape responsibility doesn’t work when technology like dashcams exists. Had he simply left a note or reported the accident, he might have avoided criminal charges.

Lessons from the Incident

This case is a perfect example of why every driver should invest in a high-quality dashcam with parking mode. Without her OwnSilent RN46 Dashcam, Linda would have been forced to pay for someone else’s reckless mistake. Instead, she had clear, undeniable proof that allowed her to track down the responsible driver and ensure justice was served.

Hit-and-runs happen every day, and many victims are left with no evidence to hold the guilty party accountable. A dashcam with 24/7 recording capabilities is the best way to protect yourself from unfair costs and fraudulent claims.

Final Thoughts

The road can be unpredictable, and not everyone takes responsibility for their actions. But with the OwnSilent RN46 Dashcam, you never have to worry about being a victim of a hit-and-run, insurance fraud, or wrongful blame.

Stay Protected – OwnSilent RN46 Has Your Back!

Maintenance Matters: What Hawaiian Drivers Need to Know About Electric and Gasoline Cars

Hawaii’s breathtaking landscapes and unique climate present distinct challenges for vehicle maintenance. Whether you’re driving a cutting-edge electric car (EV) or a trusty gasoline vehicle, knowing how to care for your car is essential for a smooth and safe experience. At City Auto Sales Hawaii, we’ve guided countless customers in choosing and maintaining their vehicles. From cars for sale in Honolulu to used Car Dealer, we’re here to help.

Maintenance for Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Kona EV are designed with simplicity in mind, requiring less maintenance than traditional gasoline cars. Without a combustion engine, there’s no need for oil changes, spark plug replacements, or exhaust system repairs. This translates to fewer trips to the mechanic, saving time and money.

Brake pads in EVs also last longer due to regenerative braking, which converts energy lost during braking into power for the battery. However, Hawaiian drivers must stay vigilant about battery health. Regular software updates and occasional checks on charging capacity ensure EVs like the Chevrolet Bolt remain efficient and reliable.

Salt air in coastal areas, common across Hawaii, can affect EV charging ports and connections. Drivers in regions like Kailua should clean charging ports periodically to prevent corrosion, especially if they live near the beach.

Maintenance for Gasoline Cars

Gasoline cars like the Toyota  and Honda CR-V require more frequent attention but remain practical for many Hawaiian drivers. Routine oil changes, filter replacements, and brake maintenance are essential to keep these vehicles running smoothly. For adventurous drivers tackling rugged terrain on the Big Island, suspension checks and tire rotations are also vital.

Heat and humidity in Hawaii can take a toll on gasoline engines and cooling systems. Regular coolant flushes prevent overheating, while inspections of belts and hoses reduce the risk of breakdowns. Vehicles like the Ford Explorer, often used for family trips, benefit greatly from proactive maintenance schedules.

Environmental Considerations

Hawaiian weather, while beautiful, presents unique challenges for both EVs and gasoline cars. The island’s salty air, high humidity, and volcanic ash can accelerate wear on components. EVs like the 2023 NISSAN ALTIMA and gasoline cars like the Toyota Highlander both need extra attention to prevent rust and corrosion.

Drivers should rinse their vehicles regularly, especially after driving along coastal roads. Using protective coatings on the undercarriage and paint can help extend the life of any car, whether it’s powered by electricity or gasoline.

Why Choose Us

Expert Knowledge: Our team understands Hawaii’s unique climate and provides maintenance advice tailored to local conditions.

Diverse Selection: From EVs like the Tesla Model Y to gasoline cars like the Toyota Camry, we offer options for every need.

Thorough Inspections: Every vehicle is carefully inspected to ensure reliability on Hawaii’s roads.

Flexible Financing: We provide financing options for both new and used vehicles, making ownership simple.

Transparent Pricing: No surprises—just honest pricing on all our vehicles and services.

Convenient Location: Located in Honolulu, we’re accessible to customers across Oahu, simplifying car maintenance and buying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are EVs easier to maintain in Kapolei?Yes, EVs like the Hyundai Kona EV have fewer moving parts and require less frequent servicing than gasoline cars.

What’s the best used SUV for sale in Honolulu for families?The Toyota Highlander is a reliable gasoline option, while the Chevrolet Bolt EUV offers an eco-friendly alternative for smaller families.

How often should I check my car for rust in Kailua?Drivers in coastal areas should inspect their vehicles monthly and rinse off salt residue to prevent rust.

Do gasoline cars handle mountain roads near Waipahu better than EVs?Gasoline cars like the Ford Explorer excel in rugged conditions, but EVs with high torque, such as the Tesla Model 3, also perform well.

Can I reduce maintenance costs for an EV in Pearl City?Yes, keeping software updated and scheduling periodic battery health checks ensure long-term savings for EV owners.

Where can I find a reliable used car dealer in Honolulu?At City Auto Sales Hawaii, we offer a wide range of reliable vehicles, from EVs like the Tesla Model Y to gasoline models like the Toyota Tacoma.

Affordable Maintenance: Parts are widely available, and maintenance costs are generally lower than many other vehicles in its class.

Resale Value: Thanks to Honda’s reputation for quality, Civics hold their value well, making them a smart long-term investment.

Popular Models and Generations

When shopping for a used Civic, consider the following popular models and generations:

8th Generation (2006-2011): Known for a comfortable ride and good safety features, it’s a great budget option.

9th Generation (2012-2015): Improved interior features, excellent fuel economy, and a more modern look make it a popular choice.

10th Generation (2016-2021): With a sportier design, better tech features, and turbocharged engine options, this generation balances affordability with a more modern look and feel.

Each generation offers something unique, so consider your priorities in terms of design, features, and budget.

What to Look for in a Used Honda Civic

Mileage: Ideally, look for a Civic with moderate mileage (around 10,000-15,000 miles per year). Lower mileage typically means less wear and tear.

Maintenance Records: A well-documented maintenance history indicates that the previous owner took good care of the vehicle. Regular oil changes, brake replacements, and timing belt updates are signs of a well-maintained car.

Condition of Interior and Exterior: Check for signs of wear in the interior, like worn seats or dashboard marks. Externally, look for rust, especially in older models.

Test Drive: Take it for a spin to check the car’s performance. Listen for unusual sounds, check braking responsiveness, and ensure smooth shifting in automatic models.

Vehicle History Report: It’s essential to check the car’s history through services like Carfax. This report will reveal if the car has been in any major accidents, how many owners it’s had, and if there are any outstanding recalls.

Common Issues to Watch Out For

While Honda Civics are generally reliable, some models may have specific issues. Here are a few things to be aware of:

Transmission Issues (2001-2005 models): Some older models have been known to have transmission problems, particularly automatic versions. Regular transmission fluid changes can help prevent these issues.

Air Conditioning Problems: Some Civics, especially in warmer climates, experience air conditioning failure over time. Check that the A/C works properly during the test drive.

Paint Peeling (2006-2013 models): Paint quality has been an issue in some older models, leading to peeling or fading, especially in warmer climates.

Suspension Noises: Listen for clunks or squeaks during the test drive. This could indicate suspension wear, which is common in older models.

Where to Buy a Used Honda Civic

Dealerships: While prices may be slightly higher, buying from a Honda dealership can offer peace of mind. Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Civics come with a warranty, which may be worth the extra cost.

Private Sellers: You might find a better deal with a private seller, but it’s crucial to have the car inspected by a mechanic to avoid unexpected repairs.

Online Platforms: Websites like AutoTrader, CarGurus, and even local classifieds can provide a variety of options. Be cautious and ensure that any online purchase includes a thorough vehicle history check and a clear buying process.

Financing and Insurance

When buying a used car, shop around for financing options. Compare loan rates from banks, credit unions, and other lending institutions. Additionally, check how much it would cost to insure a used Civic, as rates may vary based on the model year and your location.

Cost of Ownership and Maintenance

Used Civics are relatively affordable to maintain, but it’s essential to budget for regular upkeep:

Oil Changes: Every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on the model and oil type.

Brake Replacement: Typically needed every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits.

Timing Belt/Chain: The 2006-2011 Civics with 1.8L engines have timing chains, which don’t require replacement. However, models with timing belts usually need replacement around 100,000 miles.

General Repairs: Civics are less likely to need major repairs compared to many other brands, but budgeting for routine maintenance is essential.

Conclusion: Is a Used Honda Civic Right for You?

A used Honda Civic is a smart choice for anyone seeking a reliable, fuel-efficient, and affordable car. With the Civic’s strong reputation and wide availability, it’s easy to find a model that fits your budget and needs. Just remember to do your homework, inspect the car thoroughly, and consider all costs associated with ownership.

Second Hand Cars: Choosing the Right Model for You

Shopping for a car should be exciting, but choosing the right model can be overwhelming—especially when exploring second hand cars. With countless options, from budget-friendly compact cars to robust SUVs, finding the perfect fit depends on knowing what to look for. Let’s break down how to make the best choice and feel confident in your purchase.

Why Choose Second Hand Cars?

Many prefer Second Hand Cars for their affordability and variety. They offer quality models at a fraction of the new-car price, making features and models more accessible. Additionally, used cars depreciate slower than new vehicles, meaning they retain their value longer.

Key Benefits of Second-Hand Cars

Cost Savings: Buying usually translates into significant savings, making luxury and high-end models more accessible.

Slower Depreciation: New cars lose value rapidly, while Second Hand Cars depreciate more slowly, allowing you to recoup a better resale value.

Certified Pre-Owned Options: Many dealerships now offer certified pre-owned programs, giving peace of mind with extended warranties and inspections.

Step 1: Define Your Needs and Budget

The first step to choosing the right model is identifying your needs and setting a clear budget. Are you looking for a city commuter, a family SUV, or an adventure-ready off-roader? Here’s a quick guide to get started:

Commuters and Small Families: Sedans or compact SUVs like the Toyota Corolla or Honda CR-V offer excellent mileage, easy handling, and affordable pricing.

Large Families or Cargo Needs: SUVs like the Ford Explorer or Toyota Highlander offer extra space and added safety features.

Adventure Seekers: Look into used Jeep Wrangler or Subaru Outback models for their robust handling and off-road capabilities.

Once you have your requirements clear, calculate a budget. When you shop for Second Hand Cars, aim to account for the initial cost and taxes, registration, and potential repairs.

Step 2: Research and Compare Models

Second Hand Cars offer a variety of features, mileage, and conditions. Research different makes and models to ensure they meet your specific needs.

Key Factors to Research

Fuel Efficiency: With rising gas prices, fuel-efficient models like the Honda Civic or Toyota Prius could save significantly in the long run.

Reliability: Brands like Toyota, Honda, and Subaru are known for their long-lasting reliability, even in used conditions.

Safety Features: If safety is a priority, look for models with high safety ratings from organisations like the NHTSA and IIHS.

Step 3: Check the Vehicle History Report

The history report can reveal critical information like:

Accident Records: Ensure the car wasn’t involved in any serious collisions.

Maintenance History: Cars with regular maintenance records are typically more reliable.

Title Status: Confirm that the car has a clean title and is free from liens or salvage status.

Step 4: Inspect and Test Drive the Car

Look for Rust and Leaks: Check the undercarriage and under the hood for signs of rust or leaks.

Examine the Interior and Exterior: Assess the car’s condition, including the seats, dashboard, and exterior paint.

Test Drive: Pay attention to how the car feels, including steering response, braking, and any unusual sounds from the engine or suspension.

Step 5: Negotiate the Price

One of the best parts about buying a second-hand car is the ability to negotiate. With a thorough understanding of the car’s condition, mileage, and market value, you can negotiate a fair price. 

Conclusion

Purchasing Second Hand Cars is an affordable and rewarding way to drive away in a vehicle that meets your needs without stretching your budget. From defining what you need to researching models, checking the car's history, and negotiating a fair price, every step brings you closer to finding a car you'll love. By following these guidelines, you’ll make a smart financial decision and enjoy the car you choose for years to come.

Honda Expands Premium Body & Paint Solutions to Surabaya

Over time, car paint can wear down, affecting both the appearance and the value of the vehicle. Many factors contribute to this, such as exposure to harsh weather conditions, road debris, or even unexpected accidents. These are just some reasons why car owners are often keen to maintain their vehicle's original look and integrity. A well-kept car not only looks good but also retains its value for longer, which is why so many drivers seek out reliable repair shops when their cars need a touch-up.

In response to this growing demand, PT Honda Prospect Motor (HPM) has launched a state-of-the-art body and paint facility at the Honda Prisma HR Muhammad Dealer in Surabaya, Indonesia. This new facility is designed to meet the needs of car owners looking for high-quality repair and painting services while providing excellent customer service.

A New Standard in Customer Comfort and Satisfaction

Honda's new body and paint facility in Surabaya is more than just a repair shop; it is a commitment to improving the customer experience. The goal is to provide car owners with the convenience, comfort, and satisfaction they deserve when seeking vehicle repair services.

Located strategically on Jl. HR Muhammad No. 2B in Surabaya, East Java, the facility covers an impressive 1,220 square meters. It is equipped with the latest technology and staffed by professional experts who ensure that every vehicle receives top-notch care and attention.

With a combination of high-tech equipment and skilled workers, Honda is committed to delivering the best possible results for every customer. Whether it's a simple paint touch-up or a more complex body repair, car owners can trust that their vehicles will look as good as new.

Comprehensive Body and Paint Services

The new facility at Honda Prisma HR Muhammad offers a full range of body and paint services, with specialized bays dedicated to different stages of vehicle repair. This efficient design allows the facility to handle up to 100 vehicles per month, ensuring that customers receive prompt, high-quality service.

Here’s a breakdown of the facility’s layout and services:

1 Assembly/Disassembly Bay: This area is where the vehicle’s initial repairs begin. Whether it’s removing damaged parts or preparing the car for further work, this is the first step in the process.

2 Beating/Welding Bays: In these bays, technicians work on repairing the structural elements of the vehicle. This includes fixing dents, aligning the frame, and welding parts back together to restore the vehicle’s strength and integrity.

2 Putty/Primer Surfacer Bays: After the structural repairs, vehicles move to these bays, where technicians apply primer surfacers. This is essential for preparing the vehicle for painting and ensuring a smooth, even finish.

1 Paint Preparation Bay: Meticulous paint preparation is crucial for achieving a flawless paint job. In this bay, the vehicle is carefully prepared for the application of paint, ensuring that the color will adhere properly and look pristine.

1 Spray Booth Bay: In this specialized area, advanced spray equipment is used to apply an even coat of paint. This ensures that the vehicle looks as good as new once the painting is completed.

1 Polish Bay: After the paint has been applied, the vehicle moves to the polishing bay. Here, it receives the finishing touches to achieve a showroom-worthy shine.

1 Final Inspection Bay: Before a vehicle is returned to its owner, it undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure that all repairs meet Honda’s high standards of quality. This final check ensures that the car looks and functions like new.

28 Parking Bays: The facility also includes ample parking space for vehicles waiting to be serviced. This allows for efficient management of multiple cars at once, ensuring that customers experience minimal wait times.

This organized layout not only enhances the quality of the work but also improves the speed at which repairs are completed. By streamlining the repair process, Honda ensures that each customer receives efficient, top-quality service.

Expanding Honda’s Service Network

The new facility at Honda Prisma HR Muhammad is part of a larger effort by Honda to expand its body and paint service network across Indonesia. With this new location, Honda now operates two dealerships with advanced body and paint facilities in Surabaya alone, increasing accessibility for customers in the area.

As of September 2024, Honda has established 95 body and paint service centers throughout Indonesia. This continued expansion demonstrates Honda's commitment to making high-quality repair and painting services available to more customers nationwide.

With the introduction of this new facility, Honda is making it easier for car owners to maintain the appearance and value of their vehicles. Paint damage, if left untreated, can lead to more serious issues, such as rust and structural deterioration. By providing top-tier body and paint services, Honda ensures that vehicles not only look their best but also retain their structural integrity.

The Importance of Quality in Body and Paint Services

A car’s paint job does more than just make it look good; it also protects the vehicle from the elements. Over time, exposure to harsh weather, road debris, and accidents can cause paint to chip, fade, or wear away, exposing the metal underneath to the risk of rust. Rust can severely compromise the structure of a vehicle, leading to costly repairs and even safety concerns.

This is why high-quality body and paint services are so important. By addressing paint damage early and using the best materials and techniques, Honda ensures that vehicles are restored to their original condition. This not only improves the appearance of the car but also helps maintain its resale value.

Honda’s advanced body and paint facility in Surabaya is designed to provide the highest level of care for vehicles. From the moment a car enters the facility to the final inspection, every step of the repair process is handled with precision and attention to detail. Whether it’s fixing a small scratch or repairing major damage, Honda’s team of professionals ensures that every car leaves the facility looking as good as new.

A Commitment to Customer Satisfaction

At the core of Honda’s body and paint services is a commitment to customer satisfaction. The company understands that car owners want their vehicles to be repaired quickly and correctly, without compromising on quality. That’s why Honda has invested in state-of-the-art equipment and trained its staff to deliver the best possible results.

By offering comprehensive services in a single location, Honda makes it easier for customers to get the repairs they need without having to visit multiple shops. This convenience, combined with Honda’s reputation for quality, makes the new facility in Surabaya an excellent choice for car owners seeking body and paint services.

Conclusion

Honda's new body and paint facility in Surabaya is a game-changer for car owners in the region. With its advanced technology, skilled technicians, and commitment to customer satisfaction, the facility offers a comprehensive solution for all body and paint needs. Whether you need a minor touch-up or major repairs, Honda’s new facility is equipped to handle it all, ensuring that your vehicle looks and performs its best for years to come.

Top 5 Tips for Buying Quality Used Cars in Thane West

Buying a used car can be a cost-effective and intelligent decision, but it’s essential to make sure you get the best value for your money. In Thane West, the market for pre-owned vehicles is growing, with numerous dealers and individual sellers offering a wide range of cars at attractive prices. However, finding a quality used car can be a challenge without proper knowledge. To help you make the right decision, we at Car Planet Wheels have compiled the top 5 tips for buying a quality used car in Thane West.

Set a Budget and Stick to It

The first and most crucial step in buying a used car is setting a clear budget. Determine how much you are willing to spend on a car, considering not only the purchase price but also additional costs such as insurance, taxes, registration, and future maintenance. A well-defined budget will help you narrow down your choices and prevent you from overspending.

Once you have your budget in place, stick to it. Avoid getting swayed by dealers offering cars just above your range with added features. Remember, you can always find great deals within your budget if you’re patient and vigilant.

Research Car Models and Prices

Do thorough research on different car models that fit your budget. Look for cars with a good reputation for reliability, low maintenance costs, and fuel efficiency. Popular models like the Maruti Suzuki Swift, Hyundai i10, and Honda City are often available in the Thane West used car market and offer a balance of affordability and performance.

Compare prices for the same models across different platforms, such as online marketplaces, car dealerships, and classified ads. This will help you better understand the fair market value for each car and negotiate a better deal.

Inspect the Car’s Condition

One of the most critical steps in buying a used car is thoroughly inspecting its condition. Even if the car looks good on the outside, there could be hidden issues. Start by checking the car’s exterior for any signs of dents, rust, or mismatched paint. Open and close all doors, check the condition of the tyres, and ensure that all lights and indicators are functioning.

Under the hood, inspect the engine for oil leaks or unusual noises. Check the battery, brakes, suspension, and exhaust system for wear and tear. If possible, bring along a trusted mechanic for a professional inspection, as they can spot problems that you may miss.

Request the Vehicle’s History Report

Before making a final decision, always ask for the car’s service history and ownership records. A detailed history report will provide insights into the car’s past, including any significant repairs, accidents, or modifications. You can also check how many previous owners the car has had, as multiple owners in a short time could indicate potential issues.

Look out for any red flags, such as frequent breakdowns or repairs, which might suggest the car has ongoing problems. Additionally, cross-check the registration and chassis numbers to ensure they match the records, helping you avoid purchasing a stolen or tampered vehicle.

Take a Test Drive

The test drive is your opportunity to see how the car performs on the road. Pay attention to how the engine responds, the smoothness of the gear shifts, and how the car handles different road conditions. Listen for any unusual noises, significantly when accelerating or braking.

Check that all the electronics, such as the air conditioning, stereo, and power windows, are functioning correctly. A well-maintained car should provide a smooth, comfortable ride without any alarming sounds or performance issues. If something feels off, don’t hesitate to walk away and look for another car.

Conclusion

Buying a quality used car in Thane West doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By setting a clear budget, conducting thorough research, inspecting the car’s condition, requesting a detailed history report, and taking the car for a test drive, you can find a reliable vehicle that meets your needs.
