| Putting the right options on your car can impact used values
Motorists should take more care with the options they fit to their new car as making the right decision could improve used values by hundreds of pounds according to a Manheim Auctions survey. Worryingly, making the wrong decision can cost drivers literally thousands.
Manheim, which has 19 auction sites across the UK, quizzed nearly 100 of its top used car buyers for their views on the impact of optional extras on the second hand values of cars in the Family, Compact Executive and Executive car sectors.
Desirable options, now expected on virtually all types of car include leather, metallic paint and a decent sound system. Satellite Navigation is increasingly sought after and healthy premiums are paid for cars with this as a factory fitted option.
Not surprisingly it's the luxury cars in the Executive sector which are most sensitive to the right specification.

Buckeye Dog auction may return Possibility causes concern in Holmes
MILLERSBURG -- With rumors circulating the Buckeye Dog Auction may return to Holmes County, the commissioners on Monday met with Prosecutor Steve Knowling to discuss what, if anything, the county can do to keep the controversial operation out. "A dog auction is not illegal, unless there is animal cruelty going on out there," Knowling said. "I'm not saying you couldn't stop it, but you would have to have a factual report from an investigation (of a complaint). You'd have to have some actual findings." According to Commissioner Joe Miller, the Buckeye Dog Auction began in 2003. It first was held at the Perry Reese Community Center before moving to the Holmes County Amish Flea Market. Earlier this year, then-Buckeye Dog Auction owner Ervin Raber asked the commissioners if they wanted him to get rid of the auction.
