As we said in the A’s list, not only do we buy cars, give you a high instant cash offer, make it so you sell your car quick and get cash in the bank FAST, SAFE, and EASY, but we’re your place for information you may not know about. For instance, we’re doing a series by alphabet letting you in on the hidden meaning a carmaker's emblem that people instantly recognize. We want people to know we buy cars that are not so expensive, luxury expensive and exotic car expensive. Car Buyer USA also has a fleet program and buy where we buy from small businesses and mid-sized fleets. We pretty much cover a lot of ground in the car buying business, so when you’re thinking, “sell my car, truck, van, or SUV,” think CarBuyerUSA before you sell your car. We’re the best and will not be beat! Now, let’s take a look at the Bs.

Bentley

During the WWI, Bentley began manufacturing aircraft engines so it just made sense to go with wings. If you look close, you’ll count ten feathers on the left and eleven feathers on the right. The number of feathers on either side of the wings has varied throughout history. The color silver expresses the logo’s sophistication.

BMW

The initials BMW originally stood for Bayerische Motoren Werke in German – English translation Bavarian Motor Works. This multinational company founded in 1916, presently produces motorcycles, but they’re best known for automobiles. The black outer circle is derived from Rapp Motorenwerke’s logo, BMW’s predecessor. The flag of Bavaria is represented by the blue and white checkered rounder.

Do you own an BMW and thinking “sell my car”? See how we work, get an instant cash offer, and sell your car quick. We buy cars fast.

BUGATTI

This is a favorite of mine and I’ve said for quite a few years now, I will have this thing. Meh, what’s life without dreams, right?

Ettore Bugatti’s – the brand’s founder – initials are represented in the motif within the oval. The origin of the red oval consisting of 60 red dots is conflicted. There are two options that are both plausible; Bugatti’s lack of gaskets and the safety wires in the engines, or they’re pearls indicating grandeur.

So there you have it. The list of B’s in its own right epitomizes luxury and exotic, which by the way, we buy exotic cars too.

Before you sell your car, think about us. We’re your dedicated used car buying experts and we buy cars fast, safe, and easy, even if your vehicle has been in an accident and now drives and looks as good as the day you drove it off the lot. What’s more, we’re your total loss thresholds (TLT) experts and we give you the highest instant cash offer for post-accident vehicles in as little as 20-seconds. Once you have your offer, you can sell your car quick for the highest amount you’ll find. Maybe you don’t know what diminished value is or maybe would like to know more, if so take look here. If you’re thinking, “I need to sell my car fast” you can skip right to how it works.

Not only do we buy cars and you can get an instant cash offer to sell your car quick to us, but we are your place for interesting information. What’s in a carmaker’s emblem? Are there hidden meanings? You bet. Carmaker’s emblems are something everyone can instantly recognize at a quick glance. So where do their meanings come from? We want you to know before you sell your car, so let’s look at the A’s first.

ABARTH

This one is based on Carlo Abarth’s – company founder – astrological sign. Located at top is the Italian flag and the color red which is Italy’s national racing colors. Today you can find the badge on Fiats.

ACURA

You may think the letter “A” represents the first letter of the name of this one, but actually, the logo depicts the caliper tool that’s used to measure thickness. This alludes the company’s efforts to achieve engineering excellence for its vehicles. Another interesting characteristic is if you look close enough you’ll see there’s an “H” within the logo. This “H” indicates Acura’s link to Honda, its parent company.

Do you own an Acura and thinking “sell my car”? See how we work, get an instant cash offer, and sell your car quick.

ALFA ROMEO – ALFA

ALFA ROMEO – ALFA is the acronym for Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili and the surname Romeo is for the businessman who purchased the company in 1915. On the left is a red cross which is Milan’s symbol. On the right you’ll find the insignia of the House of Visconti – a crowned viper swallowing a Moorish man

ALPINA

The history of Alpina isn’t one you’d relate to when thinking “sell my car”, rather you’d be thinking, “I need to type memo.” This carmaker’s roots lies in producing typewriters by the Alps. The company’s badge has a Weber carburettor (carburetor in America) and a crankshaft. The carburettor represents its close relationship with BMW, which has BMW’s blessing in producing about 1500 BMW-base cars per year.

AMG

Almost always you see the AMG logo on the back of Mercedes, though a boring fact, the reason for three letters is very self-explanatory. Affalterbach, Germany is where the Mercedes-AMG factory is located. In the left of the logo’s circle is a stream and tree referencing Affalterbach’s flag, and the spring and the valve stands for the factory.

ASTON MARTIN

Lionel Martin co-founded the company and Aston comes from his success at Aston Hill Climb. In 1927, the “wings” was chosen representing speed, and rumor has it he was inspired by the Bentley’s “Winged B”.

AUDI

August Horch, founder of Audi, left his company and was blocked from using his namesake for any other businesses. As a result, when his son suggested the name “Audi”, he used it. In the German language, the word horsch translates to “listen” and translates into “audi” in Latin. The logo derives from Auto Union, which in 1932 was the merger of the four major brands, Audi, DKW, Wanderer, and Horch. To signify the union of each brand silver rings were chosen, and the color silver represents Germany’s national racing color.

There you have it; you now know the hidden meaning of the “A” in carmakers’ emblems.

Before you sell your car we hope you’ll think about us, we’re your used car buying dedicated experts. We buy cars fast, safe, and easy, even if your vehicle looks and drives as good as new after an accident. What’s more, we are the experts on total loss thresholds (TLT) and we still give you the highest instant cash offer in as little as 20-seconds and you can sell your car quick for top dollar. If you don’t fully understand diminished value and TLT, have a look here. If you want to skip right to how it works, you can check that out now.

The Arden Team says, yes! News broke on February 22, 2019, that Tatiana Calderón would be joining their Formula 2 team for the 2019 season. This will make Tatiana the first woman driver since the GP2/F2’s inception – 2005 – of modern running. However, will she actually sit in a seat? Race fans took to social media in an outrage claiming her race results history prove she is not a good fit for the series. By the way, before we get into this more, we buy cars and you can sell your car quick to us. Fast, safe, and easy really is the best way to sell a car. Get an instant cash offer now and stop worrying “how to sell my car quick!”

Speaking of history, it has been proven time and time again that women really shouldn’t be doing anything that’s a “man’s thing”. Take voting, welding, serving in the armed forces, flying a plane, or running a corporation for instance; why would motorsports be any different? Shutter the thought that Susie Wolff received an MBE, Danica Patrick for racing in NASCAR, Simona de Silvestro in IndyCar, Natalie Decker in NASCAR Truck Series, and so on and so on. You get the point.

Sure, Calderón has many “nevers” under her helmet and the critics are all over it; but what do the critics say of Sean Gelael’s four years in GP2/F2 with not a single win? Or, his record of never finishing better than a massive spot called 15th place? Then there is Roberto Merhi; what do they say about his demotion from F2 to F1 and still not scoring a top 10 spot? The list can go on and on here too.

What are some of Calderón’s accomplishments? She was the first female karting driver to win a national championship in Columbia. In the 2001 Pro Mazda Championship, she finished 6th overall. She was the first woman in the British F3 series to secure a podium and the first to lead a European F3 race. Not to mention she has served as a Sauber – Alfa Romeo racing – development driver with more than a few impressive results testing on the track.

Given the right situation, Tatiana Calderón has proven she is a competitive driver and has earned the right and is coming into her own; and she has the qualifications to be the first woman to sit in a Formula 2 seat. Seriously, what’s all the fuss about? We buy cars from women every day and we have a message for Tatiana. Sell your car quick to Car Buyer USA and we will put cash in your bank FASTer than F2’s lap, so SAFE there will be no crashing into a wall, and as EASY as crossing the finish line; and show ‘em what you are made of on your first run! Get an instant cash offer now, Tatiana Calderón and we will treat you like the winner you are. (Full disclosure: anyone thinking “sell my car quick” and looking for the best way to sell a car, it is here. Really.)

It doesn’t matter if you plan on purchasing a used car or if you’re thinking “I want to sell my car quick”, or you’re just starting to throw the idea around. If you don’t like the smell of cigarettes and the car you find, or the one you’re selling reeks with smoke, you’ve dropped the pool of choices way down. Here at Car Buyer USA we don’t mind if the cars we take in are from previous owners who liked to light up while driving and we are experts at getting it removed. We buy cars every day all over the U.S. and many don’t only need deodorizing, but deep cleaning. We realize people of all walks-of-life, selling a car or not, may want to get rid of a smoke smell and might need a little help on how to go about it. Nevertheless, whether you’re going to sell your car quick to us, do a private sale on your own, or trade your vehicle in, it’s a good idea to get rid of smoke before a potential buyer slips away; it’s really the best way to sell a car if you’re looking to optimize the sell price.

Clean and Air It Out First

1. Remove all belongs and every sliver of trash.
2. Vacuum ALL the interior, this means all surfaces front to back and side to side; don’t forget to vacuum the seat covers well if you have them.
3. Remove and vacuum the floor mats and seat covers (run them through a washer if the tag instructions allow). Note: If the floor mats are machine washable, we don’t recommend washing these together. A hose works well for the mats and laying them outside and let them air dry works well too.
4. If possible use a handheld vacuum, or one with an attachment that will get into the deepest crannies.
5. Clean! Clean! Clean your vehicle’s inside well. Note: Refer to your vehicle’s user manual for cleaning recommendations.
6. A 1:1 ration of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle coupled with a microfiber cloth is a good choice for the steering wheel, interior side panels, dashboard, console, etc.
7. # 6 may work well for all glass and mirrors (inside and out), but a good class cleaner will remove cigarette residue as well.

Time to Ventilate

1. Start the engine.
2. Roll all the windows down.
3. Spray an odor neutralizer into all the vents.
4. Set the air conditioner to the lowest setting and turn the fan on high. Note: Do NOT turn the recycle the inside air on. You want the outside air to help flush out the smoke scent of the car.
5. Change the a/c over to heat and be sure it’s on the highest setting.
6. Repeat steps #3 and #4.

Hopefully, following these tips will omit the problem, but sometimes even the best efforts won’t remove a cigarette scent from a vehicle. Drastic measures to get it take care of would be to turn to reupholstering, new carpets, and new roof material (headliner).

If you don’t have the time to do the work, no worries. We buy cars FAST, SAFE and EASY so you can sell your car to us smoke and all! We’ll give you a high instant cash offer and once we agree on a fair price you’ll get money in the bank quick. However, if you’re one who prefers letting a professional take care of it, you’re most likely looking at $125 to $200 or better; but when “I want to sell my car quick” is stuck in your head and you’re determined to find a buyer fast, then it’s probably worth it. How to get rid of a smoke smell really doesn’t take a genius to do it, and our tips above are worth trying first to save some money and sell your car quick for more. But really, if you want to know the best way to sell a car, fill out our short form for that high quote we mentioned and get the ball rolling now and get rid of smoke, stains, and pains today.

Have you been thinking, “I’ve got to sell my car?” Selling a car in a private sale is definitely doable in Florida, though it can be a long drawn out and even a little confusing and even complicated at times. We buy cars every day in Florida, and we make it easy for you, but we realize not everyone is easily convince on how fast, safe, and easy our process is. This is why we’re here to prove it. How? By providing information for the DIYers and then telling you how we take the hassles out in just a few easy steps. <2>Before the Sale

The first thing you need to know is you can get an instant cash offer now from us and stop reading right now. However, if you’re one who thinks you can get a higher price for your car, truck, van, or SUV yourself then by all means, give it a whirl.

If a seller has already purchased a new car and the license plate has been transferred, then the sell is required to apply for a temporary demonstration only tag so potential buyers can test drive the vehicle. You’ll need proof of insurance for a the temporary tag to be issued.

Notes for the seller:

• The seller is required to transfer the title over to the buyer.
• If the title is paper and has been misplaced or lost, the seller will need to apply for a duplicate title before the car can be sold.
• Complete and submit an HSMV 82101 form along with the applicable duplicate title fee to your local DHSMV service center. Some counties have expedited service available for a $10 fee in addition to standard title fees.
• Electronic titles require both the seller and buyer be present at DHSMV to secure a title replacement (HSMV 82994 or 82092). The official odometer reading will be required and both parties must have a valid photo ID.

Car for Sale Curbstoning Advertising

In Florida you are prohibited by law to park any vehicle on private property or on public right of ways for the purpose of selling it without permission from the property owner. This is known as “curbstoning”. Florida law also presumes a person, corporation, or partnership that offers for sale, sells, buys, deals, or displays a vehicle for sale within a three-month period, or more in a 12-month period, to be a motor vehicle dealer. Anyone meeting these criteria must have the appropriate state issued license to do so.

Selling a Car with an Existing Lien

In the state of Florida, you cannot legally sell a car privately if it has an existing lien. The lien must be satisfied before the car can be legally sold and the lien holder must have reported the lien release to DHSMV. Once this has been successfully completed, the car is free and clear to be sold and the title transferred.

Notes:

• When trading the car in at a dealership, the lien can exist. The dealership then has 10 days to satisfy the lien before they can legally resale the car.
• You do not need to request a paper title when trading in a car at a licensed Florida dealership.

Out-Of-State Title – The VIN Inspection

If you have a title issued from a state other than Florida, you must complete and submit a Vehicle Identification Number and Odometer Verification form by the owner and one of the following:

• Florida DHSMV compliance examiner/officer
• Florida notary public
• Licensed Florida motor vehicle dealer
• Law enforcement officer

Are you starting to notice how much easier it would be to sell your car quick to us? We buy cars and we are your go-to specialists.

Wrapping Up and Completing the Sale

To protect bother the seller and the buyer, it is encouraged by DHSMV to complete the sales transaction in a motor vehicle service center for proper transfer of a title.

Transfer of Title by Seller section must be completed including:

• Buyer name and address
• Odometer information
• Sell price
• Date Sold

For the title to be successfully transferred over into the buyer’s name:

• An Application for Certificate of Title with/without Registration from
• Attach the form to the title
• Submit to a motor vehicle service center

Note: To avoid a late transfer penalty fee, this must be done within 30 calendar days.

Recording the Mileage

Florida titles have space for the odometer disclosure reading and the odometer reading at the time of purchase must be written in on the title application. Both the buyer and seller must acknowledge odometer disclosures on title transactions.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

Filing an HSMV 82050 form protects the seller!

As the seller, you are required by Florida law to file an HSMV 82050 form with a local motor vehicle service center. By do so your name as the registered vehicle owner will be removed and release you from all liability. The new buyer becomes the responsible party from the date of the sell to apply and obtain a current registered titled. If the buyer fails to secure a new title, and the seller does NOT submit a completed HSMV 82050 form. The seller can still be held responsible and liable even if they no longer have possession of the car. DHSMV recommends the seller keep copies of the certificate of title, any other transaction type documentation, and bill-of-sale and have it notarized.

Just think, if you get your instant cash offer now you can sell your car quick to us and have cash in your bank fast, safe, and easy. We buy cars and take all the hassles out! So when you think, “sell my car”, think Car Buyer USA!

Seller’s Checklist

Car Buyer USA is an expert on selling cars in every Continental U.S. state; and we buy cars in all of them as well (even if you still have a bank note on it, we’ll tell you how to sell a car with a lien.) If you live in the state of Florida and you’ve found yourself saying, “I want to sell my car”, there are a few things you'll need to take care of before you’re able to officially sell your car. As with laws in other states, Florida regulates the sale of vehicles and transferring titles from one owner to another. In order to sell Florida used cars, you’ll need a full set of guidelines required from your local Florida DMV. This packet will include all the necessary paperwork and other documents needed to legally transfer the title to a new owner. Selling cars is fairly straightforward, but does require a decent amount of time and a mindful approach and we’ve got you covered on how to sell a car in Florida. We take the hassle out and put the easy in. If you want to skip the headaches, go ahead and get a high instant cash offer now.

Prepping Ahead Of Time

Be sure you’re ready and have thought of everything before the day arrives to sell your car, quick for that matter.

• Get your high instant cash offer from us first.
• Don’t forget to get all the paperwork you’ll need from DMV.
• Vehicle inspection report is required – an inspection service or a certified mechanic must inspect the car. Florida state law also mandates an official mileage reading is taken and the accurate odometer reading needs to be entered on the title when the vehicle’s title is officially signed over to the new owner.

Title Transfer

Now that you have a copy of the vehicle inspection report and have obtained the official mileage reading both parties will need to be present to officially sign over the title to the new owner. To properly and legally do this follow these steps.

1. Collect the money from the buyer before handing over the title.
2. Enter official odometer mileage reading along with all other required information.
3. Both the seller and buyer must sign and date the title.
4. A bill-of-sale – may be hand written – must be provided.

The title is the document that officially indicates the legal owner and is what stands between you being held accountable for the new owner’s actions with the car or being free and clear from all liability.

New Owner – Obtain and Completing New Registration for the Vehicle

Once you sell your car to the new owner, he/she must re-register the vehicle no matter if it will stay in the state of Florida or be transported to another state. Remember, we’re the expert at buying used cars (even if there is a current lien.) We buy cars in Florida all the time and we can make this a hassle free and easy process for you. Let us take care of the headache part so you sit back and relax.

• You must have the bill-of-sale to register the vehicle in your name.
• As the new owner, you’ll need to obtain a registration application along with all accompanying documentation required from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. (If registering the vehicle out of state, check with your local DMV for state laws and rules.)
• Even if the car’s registration is currently active by the previous owner, as the new owner you must re-register it in your name.

Note: Your local tax collector uses the sale price listed on the bill of sale to verify and assess the proper tax. If you don’t provide a signed bill of sale, the tax collector has the legal right to refuse accepting the sales price or to register the vehicle for you.

What to Include on the Bill Of Sale

• Current owner includes their contact info
• Include the VIN, make, model, and model year
• Car ownership history
• Purchase amount
• Signatures from the seller and the buyer

Current/Previous Owner Note: Don’t forget to remove the license plate / tag to turn into your local Florida DMV.

IMPORTANT: Florida DMV Still Considers You the Current Owner

It’s a good idea to escort the new buyer to DMV.

Florida law requires the new owner to re-register the car in his/her own name within 30 days after the sale. As you can imagine, this doesn’t always happen. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles recommends the seller to meet the buyer at the local tax collector’s office to complete the sales transaction; this allows you to be removed from any liability and provides you peace of mind.

When to Cancel Insurance

As the previous owner, once you have legally turned in your plates to DMV you can safely cancel insurance. If you cancel before the plates have been turned in you could lose your driving privileges.

What’s the saying; everything’s bigger in Texas? Well we have some good news for all used car owners in the star-state; the legal process in Texas to sell a car doesn’t come with a big hassle. As a matter-of-fact, to sell a car in Florida, Alabama, SC, Colorado, Georgia, or across America for that matter, is pretty much the same without a lot of hoops. Any unique bumps in the road will be small ones. Yep we buy cars anywhere in the Continental U.S. Keep reading to learn how to sell a car in Texas.

Whether you live in the Zapata or Dallas area, it works the same. It’s simple; you just fill out some paperwork and hand it to the nice person behind the counter.

Make Sure You Prep

Make sure you’re prepared and have thought of everything before the day you sell your car.

• Get a high instant cash offer first.
• The law in Texas mandates a vehicle be insured at the time of the sale, so make sure your insurance policy is current.
• The seller has a legal responsibility to insure the car for the first 30-days after it’s sold – do NOT forget to work with your carrier to set the termination date.
• You’ll need the title
• If you've lost the title, you'll need to complete Form VTR-34, Application for a Certified Copy of Title, at your local Department of Motor Vehicles or online via the Texas DMV's website. The application requires a signed lien release – if there’s not one currently on record, an ID, and there’s a fee ranging from $2 to $5.45.

Title Transfer

Once you have some of the paperwork finished, you guessed, there’s more paperwork. Texas law requires the transfer of the title over to the new owner within one month from the date the car was sold. Failing to do this could cause you to be held accountable for tickets, toll violations, and crimes committed with the vehicle. To prevent this and release yourself from all liability, you must file a Texas Vehicle Transfer Notification – Form 130-U.

Now the title comes into play. You’ll see a section where the owner (you) signs the car over to the new owner.

Bill of Sale Optional

How is it done? Well, from your couch of course!

What could go wrong with summer rubber tires on the rear of your car and winter tires on the front axle? We buy cars constantly – and you can get an instant cash offer now and sell your car quick to us – where weather can be harsh and often the vehicles come in with mismatching tires. People don’t realize you should never install only two winter tires, so here’s why it’s a very bad idea.

If you’re a cautious driver and the snow fall in your area is moderate, then all-season tires may work for you; just make sure they’re high quality. However, you should know, all-season are not as good as four winter tires and Car Buyer USA is not advising you to use all-season tires.

Something we advise against, is only putting cold-weather tires on your front axle and winter tires on the back. When this is done the grip of the single axle tires is off balance with the front-end axle’s tires. If you could drive straight, with the mismatched tires you’d probably be golden; but there are corners on the roads and this is where problems can come into play. Going at low speeds doesn’t eliminate any issues when turning and the car can spin and become out of the driver’s control. Other drivers on the road may in advertently become part of the out of control car’s path as well unable to avoid a collision.

We realize people can’t always buy winter tires; it’s an investment and money you may not have or want to spend. However, winter tires generally last multiple seasons so it’s not a yearly out-of-pocket expense.

Remember, you never want to install only two winter tires on your vehicle and we hope we’ve convinced you it’s a very bad idea. If you’re planning on selling your car and don’t want to spend the money on a set of winter tires, that’s ok. We buy cars fast, safe, and easy even if the tires are mismatched, balled, or brand new. Get an instant cash offer now and sell your car quick! All it takes to get started is filling out our short form and one of our friendly agents will be in touch soon.

It appears the brand’s M4 will be the only model to take the manual transmission torch into its final days. BMW says the manual transmission will be around for another decade. Being one of the favorite driver-focused cars in the market, BMW is committed to making a car that suits a businessperson. We buy cars of any brand, so if you want to sell your car quick, you can get an instant car offer from us, giving cars a befitting gearbox has always been the tradition of the automaker. BMW exhibited their upcoming G20 platform placing less priority on a manual transmission for their upcoming cars. But Road and Track engineers said people purchasing M cars for at minimum the next decade shouldn’t worry about this development. BMW's development chief, Klaus Fröhlich – BMW-veteran, discussed the future of BMW M cars manual transmission at the Los Angeles Auto Show. He announced the continuation of BMW's current six-speed manual transmission into the next generation M4, Fröhlich considers the M4 to be the "fortress" of BMW’s manual transmission.

"Honestly, the pure engineering answer is, you're much faster with paddles and an automatic transmission," Fröhlich told Road and Track at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. "They're very precise and sporty. Especially on the Nurburgring, you are much better in control when you're not taking one hand away [to shift]. I think, in the overall portfolio, manuals will disappear. But I think M4 should be the fortress of manual. So the last manual transmission which will die, it should die in an M4, as late as possible. That's my view."

Fröhlich accepts the flappy-paddle automatic gearbox is faster around the track, and admits the BMW’s niche market that has been and is built focused on very specific platform defining the M3 and M4 legacy – putting the power down to the rear wheels is the inline-six with a manual gearbox and a front-engine. Fröhlich says, the next generation M4 with a front-engine, which will be in production through 2027 or 2028, will have the same featured drivetrain as its predecessors. We hope this is the case as BMW tagged the M4 “Drift Machine”

Sadly, with the limitation in demand of three pedal M-cars that lashes out lots of torque, BMW isn't spending more in a new manual transmission at the moment. It’s very costly for the dependable and desired power output of a manual transmission Considering the cost of conducting a research and a new transmission design BMW feels she won't make a profit. "Honestly, you have a problem with manuals," Fröhlich continued later in the conversation. "Because we have these turbocharged engines with 600 N-m of torque, to develop such a high-torque manual transmission for such a small volume isn't profitable at all. So I tried to prolong the lifetime of the manuals, but we can't invest in developing a new manual transmission. No transmission partner will do that with us. So we are evolving our existing manuals as long as possible."

Fröhlich is a strict principled man, In the previous month, he lashed out on journalists proclaiming the E46 was the last "real" BMW the automaker produced. Fröhlich also supports keeping both rear-wheel-drive platforms and manual transmission alive for so long in favor of all-wheel-drive and automatic; but after the next generation M4, both coveted features may disappear and simply represent Fröhlich’s legacy at BMW.
