The world’s best selling car ever is the VW Beetle. Back in the day they were also known as punch buggies.

Some Beetles are more collectible than others. The very early ones have become very rare. The models first commercially produced and exported after World War II had a split rear window (rather like the 1963 Corvette coupe). These are now very rare, and unless you’re lucky enough to find one in the back of a barn somewhere then the only time you’re likely to see one will be at a classic car show on display.

The next model out, which arrived in 1953, had an oval-shaped rear window. There were a lot more of these available for export to the States, so you will be luckier trying to find one of these than a split-window Bug, but believe me they’re still now very rare. In 1957 they changed to a [...]

Whenever anyone buys or sells a car, they must transfer the certificate of title to the new owner. The title is issued by your local New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC/DMV).

The certificate of title is a record of the cars lifespan and ownership, including important identifying characteristics.

It will document mechanical data such as the vehicle weight, motive power, and odometer. The license plate number, the owner’s name and address, purchase price, and details of any debts are also included.

Remember to never keep your car title inside your vehicle, but stored somewhere safe.

Is “honest mechanic” really an oxymoron? An overwhelming amount of people agree that finding a decent and honest mechanic is truly very hard to find. That may be true. It’s like finding a needle in a haystack. The good news is we know there’s a needle in the haystack.

You want to keep your vehicle and if the repair costs are higher than the value of your car, not to mention you will find yourself with a new mechanic. To help, I turned to my father, an award-winning car repair shop in New Jersey, for advice on finding a decent, honest mechanic. If the shop won’t show you the repair voluntarily, if they diagnose something expensive, insist to see it for yourself.

I know that Honest Mechanic may sound like an oxymoron, but let’s call it what it is – don’t throw a softball by calling a mistake honest. [...]
