Buying and Selling Used Military Vehicles

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

Used military vehicle is discarded by the armed forces in quite a good number. The forces use vehicles to transport troop, heavy equipment and carry top officials to parades and ceremonies. But the fact is that after a very short span of time these vehicles become useless for the US army due to a number of reasons like obsolete technology, continuous usage and look out for added features in new and latest features such as GPS, safety modifications and many more.

The vehicle is then auctioned visa online bidding or through live auctions and offered to general public. You must be wondering why used military vehicle are so eagerly awaited by people to come to auctions as these are in excellent condition and relatively cheaper. Well the answer is simple. The military surplus vehicles are a good source of income for thousands of Americans. They wait hungrily for them and invest huge money in buying them and warehousing them.

People make thousands of dollars each year by procuring them from auctions and selling them for a nice profit. The market for military surplus is growing each year as there is a craze for used military vehicle like jeeps, trucks, staff cars, Hummers, trailers and rovers.

The government auctions them at federal, state and local levels and seeks to clear the warehouse of military surplus and sell them cheaply for whatever they can get.

Most of the used military vehicle is of no use to the forces as they like to keep up to the latest technology and keep on discarding vehicles at a fast rate.

Upgrading used military vehicle and making alternation is not preferred by the army as it will demand some additional cost and is time consuming too. Hence they are sold to general public.

Leased Vehicles and Automotive Insurance

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

People have different opinions when it comes to leasing a vehicle and buying a vehicle, but here’s the basic gist of it: buying a vehicle differs from leasing a vehicle in that buying a vehicle requires you to pay for the entire vehicle, whereas leasing a vehicle requires you to pay for the amount of the vehicle you “use up” during a set period of time. Simply put, once the time period is up the person leasing the vehicle may decide to buy the vehicle, or move on.

There’s no difference, however, in purchasing automotive insurance for bought and leased vehicles. If you lease a vehicle and finance through the dealer or a bank, you’re still required to purchase automotive insurance for your leased vehicle. Just because you’re only paying for the portion of the vehicle that you use during a specific time period doesn’t mean you aren’t responsible for repairing the damages to the leased vehicle, or the damages your leased vehicle may inflict upon another person’s vehicle, or another person.

For example, if your leased vehicle is involved in an accident that is your fault and involves another party, you’re responsible for paying to repair not only the damages to your leased vehicle, but the damages to the other party’s vehicle, as well. At the same time, if your leased vehicle is involved in an accident but no other party is involved, you’re responsible for repairs to your leased vehicle if the accident was your fault. Too, your leased vehicle may be involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault with a party that doesn’t have automotive insurance. By having automotive insurance for your leased vehicle, you are safeguarding yourself against drivers who don’t have automotive insurance. The purpose of automotive insurance is universal. Regardless of whether you buy or lease your vehicle, and regardless of your reasons for buying or leasing, you must still purchase automotive insurance.
