Lotus Esprit cars

In 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me featuring Roger Moore, the Lotus Esprit became one of Q’s most impressive sportscar mods. In a long chase scene between 007 and the infamous Bond-villain Jaws, Bond’s Lotus Esprit makes a cunning escape by transforming into a fully-diveable submarine. While a submersible version featuring that bikini blonde above are not available today, a similar Lotus Esprit could be originally purchased for around $16,800 at the dealer in 1977.



Last but certainly not least– the original Bond-mobile, the 1963 Aston Martin DB5. In the 1964 film Goldfinger, 007 was provided with a weaponized DB5 by Q Branch himself. Aston Martin, however, wasn’t so keen on the deal. After much negotiating, Aston Martin finally agreed to a product placement deal that made automotive history for the brand. The DB5 was the latest-and-greatest sportscar to be produced in the UK, initially selling for $13,000.

Unsold Cars Due To Global Recession

Automakers are facing trouble across the world due to global recession. Thousands of unsold cars are parked in factories and wharehouses waiting for delivery to customers and dealers.

Sales of new cars in the UK have slumped to a 12-year-low and production of cars at Honda in Swindon has been halted for a unprecedented four-month period because of the collapse in global sales and represents the longest continuous halt in production at any UK car plant. The announcement comes on a day when the EU’s Industry Commissioner Guenter Verheugen warned the outlook for the European car industry was ‘brutal’ and predicted not all European manufacturers would survive the crisis.

Quando trocar o seu carro, veja dicas

Quando trocar o seu carro, veja dicas

A dúvida que quase todos têm é saber a hora certa de trocar seu carro usado por um novo. Infelizmente não há uma fórmula matemática para descobrir isso, pois vários fatores devem ser levados em consideração antes de se desfazer do seu carro. Teoricamente, o ideal seria ficar com o carro enquanto durasse a garantia de fábrica ou do revendedor. No caso de carros novos, esse período varia de um a quatro anos. “Assim o proprietário terá sempre baixíssimo custo com manutenção”.

Mas, na vida real, nem todos podem se dar ao luxo de trocar de carro a cada um ou dois anos. E essa prática nem sempre é um bom negócio. Por ano, o veículo perde um pouco do seu valor. É a depreciação, diferença entre o que se pagou e quanto ele vale agora. E a maior desvalorização ocorre nos dois primeiros anos. Nesse caso, pode chegar a 25%, se for um sedã de luxo. E aí, a troca no curto prazo pode não significar vantagem financeira. É preciso analisar muito bem sua situação antes de qualquer decisão. Em geral, quanto mais velho o carro, maiores os gastos com manutenção. Mas, se o veículo faz poucas visitas à oficina e tem peças baratas, você ainda pode estar no lucro. A situação se inverte com o tempo. Gasta-se cada vez mais num produto que vale cada vez menos. E entre os gastos que aumentam estão peças, mão-de-obra e seguro, que num carro muito usado podem custar o mesmo que num modelo 0 km.
