Reason For Buying American Cars in a Recession

With the down turn in a global recession and the American economy going down the tank, prices for used cars in the United States have never been cheaper. Importing American Cars to Canada can be a little daunting with all the importation Customs paper work and shipping logistics involved. But this can be all worth your while when you see how much money you save.

Even with the Canadian dollar at 85 cents U.S. you can save about 20% of what you would've paid for a used automobile in Canada even after you calculate the dollar exchange and shipping cost into the total cost of vehicle. The biggest savings are on mid range to high end cars; it's really unbelievable the difference in prices. American Used Cars are thousands of dollars cheaper, it just show you how Canadians have been getting ripped off by Canadian car dealerships.

Americans are losing their jobs at a record pace. With the credit crisis and the mortgage melt down disaster still evolving, the last thing Americans are thinking of doing is buying a car. American car dealerships are dropping their prices drastically each and every month to try and entice Americans to start buying cars. U.S. car dealerships are throwing everything but the Kitchen sink to make something work.

Preserving the Classic American Car

If you know me then you already know how I like to talk about the preservation of the classic American cars and muscle cars, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to keep these cars on the roads, so we have a presence of them around.

Isn't it enough that our country is getting inundated by imports, and the fact that people are always saying how much better other countries are building cars then we do, well without Henry Ford none of them would be building cars as we know them today, and if I remember correctly he was an American.

We need a heavy presence of American cars, just to help put way the dull drab looking imports, you know cars that have a little style and character to offer, not just these cookie cutter expensive, yet cheap built imports, how much better is a BMW, Mercedes or any other import then a good old American car.

Buy American people, all I hear is people bitching about the economy, well it seems to me that if we were to buy our own country's products, it would improve our well being, and that we would have a better economy, we would all be a lot happier, if you buy an American car from an American dealer or an individual, you have done your part to help the economy.

American Cars Back on Top

For the past few years sales of American cars have been low, owing to the consumers believe that these cars lack style, dependability, and performance. During these years the foreign car makers have taken advantage and pushed their cars into the US market. The sales of foreign cars in the US have increased dramatically and part of this is due to the lack of American car class. Last year, the sales of Chevrolet and Ford outsold Toyota in the US.

But it's time for the foreign manufacturers to watch out. American cars are back and they are coming back strong. In recent 2010 studies by J.D. Power and Associates American carmakers have earned higher scores than in imported cars in both initial quality and owner satisfaction surveys. The increases were small; but they are enough to show that American cars are becoming even with their foreign competitors.
