Video of the Day: 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class filmed undisguised

A cycling team in Spain has filmed the brand-new 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class while either making a promo spot or shooting some picture for print material. The video was taken on Jan 26 by bike team OGOTT, as they were cycling from El Golfo to Playa Blanca when they stumbled upon the brand new Mercedes-Benz A-Class. As you can see in the video, it’s a very clear shot of A-Class, revealing all the front and side details. We are very surprised that it looks almost identical to the prototype, even the beautiful and futuristic grill was kept.

If you own a luxury car like a Mercedes-Benz, it makes sense to compare car insurance, not just for the potential savings but also for the features of the product you are buying. In the same way that you looked at the feature offerings of the luxury car you bought, so should you look at more than just the basic coverage your insurer may be offering you. Most companies will start with the minimum coverage you need and go from there. Since our sample vehicle is a Mercedes, which is a luxury car, you need to make sure that your insurance covers more than simple repairs. Most luxury cars nowadays have premium features that are quite expensive to repair, so make sure that your insurance covers this. On the other hand, just because your drive an expensive car doesn’t mean that it’s a magnet for car thieves. In a survey of cars most often chosen by car thieves, the Mercedes E-Class actually ranked very low on the list. Insurance companies keep updated lists of the most stolen vehicles. Higher insurance premiums reflect the risks insurance companies perceive with these vehicles. With the knowledge of which cars are high-risk models, make sure that a car insurance comparison takes factors like these into account.

How your car can make you money

Running a car is not cheap – from insurance to tax, repairs, petrol, not to mention the air fresheners – it all adds up. However, you do not have to succumb to your overdraft at the end of every month due to the demands of your car – there are many ways that you can make back some of the money it costs you to run your car.

Renting out

There are websites in existence that match the demand to the supply, i.e. those who have a car to rent with those who need to rent a car. For instance, if your car sits on your drive at the weekend, or perhaps you work part-time during the week, there may be a few days where you and your four wheels can earn some money. As long as you have insurance and MOT, it’s a simple process.

Advertise

Advertising is most businesses’ favourite word. If you have no shame in plastering your windows in advertising, this is a great way to make money. How much you earn depends on how much of your car you don’t mind being used for the advertising, but be sure to check with your car insurance company about advertisements on the bodywork of your car.
