Triple Renault award win at today’s 2010 Fleet World Honors:
- Van Manufacturer of the Year,
- Best New Van (New Master)
- Safety
For the 2nd year in a row, Renault is enjoying more than one award wins at the 2010 Fleet World Honors, including the first for its New Renault Master Van, just days aftermarketed in the United Kingdom . In addition to receiving the Safety award for the second year in a row , Europe’s number one light commercial vehicle brand picked up two main awards in the year 2010 Van Fleet World Honors. The first, Van maker of the Year, a reward of renovating its 3 van model ranges in recent times , while the second , Best New Van for New Master, comes just 9 days after the flagship model appeared in showrooms . Summing up the reason behind the French marque’s overall Van producer of the Year win, John Kendall, Editor of Van Fleet World said, “Renault light CVs perform well in the UK , and in Europe the company is the single largest seller of light CVs. The New Master is a considerably advance over the old model and the addition of the Kangoo Maxi in recent months helps to make that model more competitive too. Then the latest redo for the Traffic, largely built in the United Kingdom , shows what a sound design the model still is.” Less than ten days after its United Kingdom launch , the New Master range fended off a number of competitors to drive away with the top New Van award . Kendall said , “The New Renault Master provides some really creative thinking about the driver environment, plus an excellent new engine…it’s far more competitive than the previous with a broader range and exceeds the 3,500kg GVW limit for the first time for these models – necessary in the seventeen -seat minibus sector.” Completing a hat-trick by taking the Safety Award, Chairman of Judges, Steve Moody, said, “Renault has always been a leader in crash safety, gaining more stars in the EuroNCAP tests than any other van maker , but it is its work beyond the laboratory that makes the firm stand out. It has scoured the world looking at accidents to learn more about real world incidents, and is developing safety systems that are way beyond what legislation asks , making it truly the leader in safety for occupants and pedestrians.” Speaking after the prestigious ceremony held in London today, weighed down by the French marque’s latest award haul, was Renault UK’s Darren Payne, Director, Fleet and Commercial Vehicle Operations, “Naturally, we’re delighted that our continued commitment to every aspect of safety has been recognised. The Van Maker of the Year award is prove to our longstanding commitment to continually improving the range. The icing on the cake is the Best New Van honor for New Master, only a few days after it went on market . After the considerable amount of development which went into its creation , including the introduction of rear-wheel drive models for the first time, we’re delighted the judges have acknowledged New Master’s abilities so early in its career.“ More information on Renault’s award-winning car and van ranges is available at Swiss Leasing at attractive Van leasing Deals.

Getting a cheap used car is usually a little more difficult than choosing a new auto even though you can follow some of the same strategies for both.
For starters, know what auto you are considering. Study the automobile. There is a wealth of information and facts on the web. Look at the car manufacturers website, consumer reports and then the edmunds.com web site. Find out the approximate value of the automobile before you head out to the dealer. Go to your financial institution or to your credit union before you go shopping and find out the amount of money they’ll be able to lend you on a pre-owned vehicle. That way you will have a much better concept of what you can truthfully spend.
Realize that there are many different styles of the very same auto. You might not find precisely the vehicle with the extras you would like, or even the exact color, but you may find something close that is a good deal.
Most car dealers are upright and truthful when selling used cars. They provide limited warranties with most of their used cars. When it comes to high end autos, a number of them still have warranties in place when you buy them.
In case you are buying from a private owner ask to check out service records. Go online and get a carfax automobile history report. Find out if the automobile will likely be sold “as is”. When you are seriously interested in a second hand vehicle be sure that you have plenty of time to take the automobile to your mechanic for him to give the vehicle the once over, particularly if it’s for sale “as is”. You don’t want to learn after the fact that it requires a lot more repairs than you imagined, that is something that you cannot tell simply by a visual inspection.
The cosmetics of the car are a key factor in establishing it’s worth. Cars are often rated as being in good, fair or excellent condition. However, especially when buying from a private seller you could find that these ratings differ, at times dramatically.
Whatever you do, do not let anyone push you into making a fast decision, primarily a private owner. If you ever hear something similar to “I already have another person who’s prepared to give me a down payment” let the cheap used car go. Stick to your guns, along with your spending plan. If you don’t get this automobile it was not meant to be and generally there will invariably be another, and an even better one.
