Car Parts: Necessity Comfort And Fashion

A car is made with a lot of parts some are big and some are small. In similar way some of the car parts are highly necessary while some of them are merely for luxury or comfort. Whatever may be the reason every car needs addition of some parts. A few of them need to be added immediately after buying it while a lot more can be added some months down the line. In any case addition of accessories can make a great difference.

There was a time when men were not so fashionable and automobile industry was not so enriched technologically. Hence the car parts available were only for the smooth running of the engine. With the passage of time men have grown more fashion loving and the world has seen unprecedented advancement in the field of technology. Now men are concerned not only about what is most important but also about comfort and glamour.

The auto industry is also responding to their demand instantly and making unique and flashy car parts available from time to time. Among the parts that have gathered high popularity there are alloy wheels. They are made from aluminium and magnesium metal alloy. Being lighter in weight they are capable of better performance. They are also better heat combustors. This improves heat dissipation from the brakes and in turn reduces the chance of brake failure.

Car parts like alloy wheels may be a little costlier than any other type of accessories. However there is no dearth of parts that can be bought without a bust on the budget. So any car owner irrespective of his budget can get some parts added to his car. It is always recommended that in stead of giving higher importance on fashion accessories it is necessary to prioritise the most important parts like the security kits etc.

The Nano Effect

There are many who would swear by the world of cars to spell out their anger if they see Tata Nano news anywhere. Nano is covered to death from the economic to the ecological aspects of it. The funny bone in your body would start pricking about the uselessness of such news in your virgin newspaper!
But you never knew that you could make a good deal out of such effect the Nano effect is not all that bad. In case you dont want to settle for the cheapest car but an up market car yet the pocket isnt allowing you to do so the good news has just arrived. The used car prices have gone down by about 15 to 30 percent and even more according to latest reports.
The baby Nano that is waiting to be launched in October this year will carry a price tag of Rs. 1.3 lakh for the base trim and higher as you go up. Much lower than many used cars. The price of a secondhand Maruti 800 has dropped over 30 per cent since the Nano was unveiled. To give an indication the price of a 2002 model has dropped from Rs 1.1 lakh in December to Rs 75000 today said Arif Fazulbhoy head of Mumbais largest car dealer Fazulbhoy Motors told to a business daily recently.
However despite the cut down on used car prices buyers are still seem to waiting for the Nano launch according to Fazulbhoy. And whats affecting the used car market is an unorganized market dominating it.
But will the price fall in the used car market help them or push down the Nano fever? Dealers and analysts have come up with predictions. An analyst from Angel Broking said: The Nano will cannibalise usedcar sales by exerting more downward price pressure.
Ankit Sharma of Patliputra Automart India admits saying: With the small car contributing 70 per cent of our sales usedcar dealers might have to refocus their business on highend cars.
