This document summarizes two studies on automotive aftermarket trends:
1) The repair "sweet spot" of vehicles aged 6-10 years is growing, with the average repair cost increasing as well for these vehicles.
2) Domestic cars are getting older on average, reaching over 12 years of age by 2012, making them the only vehicle group increasing in age and decreasing in number.
3) As domestic cars continue aging, it will have implications for the aftermarket like lower maintenance levels, more demand for value parts, and more DIY repairs, increasing the aftermarket's reliance on domestic light trucks.
Auto-Insurance industry's collision with driverless carsYogendra Miraje
This document discusses the impact that driverless cars will have on the auto insurance industry. It outlines how driverless cars will significantly change key aspects of auto insurance like liability, underwriting and pricing, claims, and profitability. The transition to driverless cars may shrink the $200 billion auto insurance industry in the US by up to 90% as claims for accidents are reduced. Insurers will need to make strategic choices to adapt to the lack of historical accident data and maintain profitability during this transition.

Progressive Insurance was founded in 1937 and pioneered innovations in the auto insurance industry, such as offering policies to high-risk drivers and 24/7 claims services. In the 1990s, Progressive launched further innovations like providing competitor quotes over the phone and using immediate response vehicles to quickly settle claims on-site. One major innovation was Autograph, launched in 2000, which used GPS technology to track vehicle usage and offer lower rates to drivers with good behavior. While innovations increased efficiency and customer service, they also increased costs and raised privacy concerns, so recommendations were made to expand technologies slowly and focus on research and larger cities first.
Declining brand loyalty in the automotive industry is being driven by several factors, including greater access to information, more purchasing options, and less frequent car purchases. Loyalty varies across industries and is also influenced by rational, emotional and experience-based reasons. To improve customer loyalty, automakers need to optimize their digital strategy and branding efforts, enhance the emotional connection to their brand through personalized communications, and ensure consistency across all customer touchpoints. Simply communicating for communication's sake may not strengthen relationships without a deep understanding of individual customers.

When buying a new car, it is important to do research on models, options, and prices before visiting dealerships. At the dealership, negotiate on the price, which can potentially be lowered by 10-20% of the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Consider ordering a car if the desired model is not in stock, or look for in-stock cars that meet your needs where you may have negotiating power. Be aware of terms used in negotiations like invoice price and understand the total cost of financing options rather than focusing only on monthly payments. Do your homework to get the best deal on your new car purchase.

When determining your car budget, you should calculate your total monthly budget that can be spent on automotive expenses, which is typically 10-15% of your monthly budget. This will include costs like car payments, insurance, which usually runs 5-8% of the purchase price for new cars or 3-5% for used cars, and registration fees of $50-125. Insurance costs are usually higher for new cars than used cars, and premiums for collision and comprehensive coverage will increase sharply with a new car. It is important to consider factors like the vehicle's safety and theft records when choosing a model to help lower insurance costs.
There are several benefits to purchasing used cars from Montebello Used Cars. Financially, used cars are significantly less expensive than new vehicles, with used car prices around $9,000 compared to $27,000 for new. Insurance rates are also usually lower for used cars since agencies have more data on repair and accident costs. Additionally, any safety issues are often already addressed in used cars, while new models may have undetected problems and recalls that buyers need to deal with. Overall, Montebello Used Cars recommends purchasing a used vehicle for financial savings and peace of mind.
This document contains an overview of various topics related to auto leasing, including:

3. Benefits of leasing a hybrid or electric vehicle, including federal tax credits, state incentives, and potential insurance and parking discounts.
A decades-old dream is on the verge of coming true. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) will hit the road as early as 2017, when several original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and technology companies plan to launch pilot projects or roll out commercial vehicles with varying levels of self-driving capability. Mass adoption of self-driving technology will deliver tremendous economic benefits. But it will also disrupt business as usual for a wide variety of companies, including OEMs, mobility providers, and component makers. The coming AV era raises urgent questions for executives of these companies: What is the cost of these technologies and what are consumers willing to pay for them? How fast will mass markets adopt AVs and how might car sharing and societal shifts impact these introductions? What technological challenges must be overcome to enable fully autonomous driving? Where should OEMs and new entrants focus their R&D investments? And how should players in the AV market address consumer concerns around safety, lack of control, and the risks of faulty technology?
Purpose of the presentation today is to educate, enlighten, inform, and entertain you about some of the intricacies of purchasing or leasing your next vehicle!
We will attempt to answer all your questions and if we can’t we promise to get you the answer to your question by the end of the next business day!

It suggests that automakers focus on developing innovative small and foldable vehicles better suited for parking in cities, implement loyalty programs to encourage return maintenance business, and improve the car buying process by reducing haggling and providing transparent pricing. It also recommends automakers partner with car sharing services and address issues with in-vehicle technology not meeting consumer expectations in order to appeal to customers in urban areas and among younger demographics.
As the world gets smaller, automotive technologies smarter, and Big Data even bigger, insurance carriers and claims networks would be wise to start making “course corrections” to ensure their survival. Within 10 years, the auto claims landscape will be unrecognizable.
Driverless cars - an insurance aggregator digital product strategyCharles Burrows
Driverless cars will significantly impact the insurance market over the next 5-10 years. Premiums will steadily decline as automation makes cars safer and reduces personal liability. However, the costs of autonomous car parts and software protection will offset some premium reductions. Insurers will need to offer new products and aggregators may need to adapt online offerings to handle niche underwriters. While personal car ownership could decline, opportunities exist in areas like car aggregation, software protection policies, and specialized coverage for early adopters of autonomous vehicle technology.

Fleet management these days is next to impossible without connected vehicle solutions. Why? Well, fleet trackers and accompanying connected vehicle management solutions tend to offer quite a few hard-to-ignore benefits to fleet managers and businesses alike. Let’s check them out!
2. CONSUMER TESTED
Consumer testing is a primary consideration for used
vehicles.
A new model often has to be on the road for a while before
the manufacturer learns of problems.
Certain safety and design issues pop up once people start
complaining to the company about their new cars.
3. CONSUMER TESTED
Feedback is another side of that same advantage. People like
to discuss things they buy on the Internet.
Doing a search of social media sites gives you an intimate
view of what people think about a particular make and model
of car.
The feedback will be more extensive if the car is one or two
years old.
4. TAXES AND
INSURANCE
Taxes are less when you buy used, mostly because you are
paying less. With a new car, you are paying sales tax on the
full purchase price.
If you buy a new vehicle for 25,000 dollars and the tax rate is
7 percent, that means your upfront cost is 1750 dollars. That
same car a few years older might run about 8,500 dollars.
That mean the state only gets 595 out of your pocket.
Insurance is typically less for a used car, as well. The
company that wants 495 dollars from you every six months
for a 2012 model might require half that for the one made in
2008.
5. SAFETY
A new car means the newest technology, and on most
models, that improves the safety features.
Things like electronic stability control and advanced air bag
systems were still in the design phase when an older model
was hitting the market.
The more common safety details, however, have been
around long enough to be on a car that is just a few years
old. For instances, traction control and antilock brakes are all
acceptable safety options.
6. FINANCING
Finance companies want you to buy new cars, so that is
where the deals are if looking for a loan.
Many banks and other financial institutes will not consider a
loan for a car that is over fives years old.
If they do give approval to buy a used car, the interest rate is
likely to be higher than for a new vehicle. The same company
may offer an incentive package to buy the most current
model.
7. CONCLUSION
Ultimately, it depends on what you want. There are
advantages and disadvantages to buying both new and used.
A person on a tight budget might find pre-owned offers more
features for a better price. New vehicles have the better
technology, a more comprehensive warranty and sleeker
styling.
