Can You Buy Repossessed Cars on the Cheap?

December 12, 2008

Now this is a method that is completely legal, and with the economy taking a turn for the worse right now, there will be more cars being repossessed than ever before. According to the latest economic and industry reports, repossessions are soaring across the country, and that includes auto repossessions. Yes, I do have sympathy for those families caught up in the economic mess which allow the repossession laws to affect them, but at the same time, I cannot ignore the fact that this now means there are thousands of cars each week up for grabs at dirt cheap prices and you can take advantage of this today…

Pulse Adrenaline 125cc Motorcycle Review

Pulse Adrenaline

Pulse Adrenaline

Some of you may have heard of it, others probably not. So what is this motorcycle that is absolutely gripping the UK auto market by storm? Well, it’s a 125cc, 101kph, 4 stroke off-road motorcycle with stylish looks to boot. It sometimes gets referred to as an enduro or adventure motorcycle as well, and that is due to its tough looking exterior and sleek, stealth bomber-style chassis. We’re reviewing this bike after coming across it in a fairly old Supermoto group test, published by MCN back in 2007, and we wanted to see how the thing stacks up against what’s on the market today.

One of the main reasons we’re having a second look at this bike is because it’s currently on the UK market at a jaw dropping £1295, and similar variations of it are on the market at an almost unbelievable price of just £1095! This, by anyones standards, is a pretty good price for a bike that seems to live up well in the MCN review above, but really, is it all that?
