Auto Resource: Compare Car Insurance

If you live in the UK and you're looking for car insurance for your Audi, you may want to check out moneysupermarket.com's car insurance section where you can compare car insurance from over 60 leading insurance companies.

Instead of visiting numerous car insurance websites and filling out form after form of information, you can just visit the moneysupermarket.com website and fill in your information just once. Even if you're thinking about purchasing a certain type of vehicle, you can still compare car insurance quotes for different makes and models of cars. (I didn't see a link for Audi, but hopefully they'll have one soon!)

I like that the website has car insurance customer reviews because one thing I look for when shopping for car insurance is how well a company treats their customers. There's nothing more annoying than dealing with an insurance company that makes you jump through hoops in order to make a claim. As I was browsing through the list of customer reviews, I noticed that 1) there are alot of car insurance companies out there and 2) only a handful of companies received a 4 or 5-star rating.

Even if you're looking for car insurance advice, you can join moneysupermarket.com's very active car insurance forum and post a question or share information with others. Or if you prefer an expert's advice, Andy Leadbetter, a car insurance expert, is also active in the forum.

If I could give one piece of advice, I would say: Don't shop for insurance based soley on price. Make sure you go with a company that will really take care of you!

Audi's February 2009 Sales

The current economy has affected many businesses and Audi is no exception. Yesterday the company announced that sales for the month of February totaled 4,653 units sold which is a decrease from February sales in 2008.
