This brand has been making the slickest, most popular cars attracting even the most discriminating owners. Because of their popular status around the world, many car clubs have been inspired. If you want to unite with all the Benz Lovers around the globe than join a Mercedes car club today. You might even find a Mercedes enthusiast right in town. To find the right club for you is a pretty easy process. Here are six simple tips for when you are ready to join in this cult of Mercedes lovers.

Research the Mercedes car club that your local dealer has to offer. Dealers will offer new memberships at the AMG Lounge, online forums for AMG owners, and the Owners Online club which is an online resource exclusive to Mercedes owners. These will require a vin number and an email address to enter. Register and become part of the official “Mercedes-Benz Club of America.” There is a small membership fee but it enrolls in you a national and local chapter. So when you need to find Mercedes Parts you can simply chat with other local owners and enthusiasts, and finding parts will be a piece of cake. Surf around the web for Mercedes clubs and forums. Here you can begin to find a club in your area but like most it will need an email address and model from you. Visit a car show and ask around about local or national Mercedes car clubs. Probably everybody there will be an easy target for this question. Ask your mechanic for suggestions and club referrals. This is great too if you are interested in knowing more about the technical aspect of these vehicles. A Mercedes specialized mechanic may be your best bet when finding the ultimate source for Mercedes clubs.

It’s as easy as that. Ask around, search the web, and join the official “Mercedes-Benz Club of America.” This way you will be in the know and learn things you never thought you would about arguably the greatest car brand in the world.

This is likely to see insurers inundated with requests for amendments to motor insurance policies, with the used car sector predicted to experience a significant boom thanks to low vehicle sales for new models in 2009, which has lead to a growth in the second-hand car market for both owners and buyers.

One insurance expert said, “The decline in new car sales in 2009 seems to have generated a better market for second-hand sellers. The likelihood is that many people will now be surprised at how much they can get for their existing car and will be looking to upgrade.”

Car insurance policy holders are thought to be spending a staggering €55.4 billion on new vehicle purchases across the globe, which is 25.9 per cent higher than for the previous six months.     

Car owners are being encouraged to shop around for the best deals when it comes to renewing their motor insurance after recent figures suggested that €240 a year can be saved on new policies.

In the UK, some motorists are finding ways around the car insurance renewal costs and rising fuel bills, by selling their car and becoming a member of a car club. Membership entitles drivers to the rental of a vehicle whenever they want, with annual membership and a small hire cost the only fee being asked for.

The average cost of running a car in the UK has risen to £2,539 a year, so motorists are taking advantage of the savings they can be made by joining car  clubs who claim they can help motorists who clock up less than 6,000 miles a year, save up to £3,500 annually.

Although this appears to be a money saving scheme, car owners should always shop around for the best car insurance renewals first and be sure that they are not missing any potential savings.

By now, you have members, car club name, and advertisement. Now you can get sponsors. Sponsors are
usually responsible for creating trophies or anything else you need to start hosting your own car show.
Go to places where you think a good car show can be held, you have to keep in mind that your car show can host anywhere from 15 – 100+ cars/trucks/motorcycles. Parking lots of big-named stores, churches, schools, even some fast food restaurants will host a car show. I’ve personally seen car shows being hosted at Home Depot and Burger King (with a big parking lot). *Be sure to double check with the county, township or borough if you need any permits or licenses before you begin.*
You have to ask permission of the site to be used; here is where you have to turn into a salesman. Request to speak to a store manager or district manager. Ask them if they would like to help you host a car show and if it is ok for you to use their parking lot. If they seem hesitant, let them know it will bring in more people to their store.
Once that is established, it could very well turn into an annual event for you and your car club.

6. You have a place established; now it’s time to get the trophies. Automotive repair and body shops love to sponsor trophies. Again, you will have to turn into a salesman. Assure them that you will utilize their name often in your car show.
You will need to let them know how many places you plan to give away. Be sure to have your categories set (see tips). 1 trophy for each category (some have 3 places for each category) and 1 best of show is usually standard for car shows.

7. You will need a microphone system or bullhorn to announce the winners.

8. Create flyers and ads to advertise for you car show.

9. Concessions are a great way to build profit. Sell hot dogs, hamburgers, canned soda, pre-sliced cakes and get your club members, family and friends to volunteer.

10. Sell 50/50’s and raffles for large prizes at your car show.

11. The profits from your first couple of shows should go towards building your car club and making it better for your members.

In order to create a club, you need people and more than just yourself. To get the people you need for a car club, participate in car shows. You don’t need a nice, unique or fancy car. Just make sure your car or truck is clean inside out. Expect judging but do not be despaired. While you are participating in the car show, talk to the other people who registered. Getting tips is a great way to start a relationship. Inquire how they did something is another way. Most people are eager to give away tips.

2. Create a name for your car club. Be sure that it is unique and not used. Use the internet to research.

3. Once a relationship is established, ask them if they would like to be a member of a car club. Make sure you express that the car club is new and you are still in the process of recruiting people. Some people might want to know what the benefits include (see the tips page).

4. Now you have about 3 or 4 people to start your car club. This is where you start to advertise. Decals and websites should be created at this point. Some decal dealers will give or sell at a huge discount if you offer to advertise (having a decal of their company on your car) or mention their company name. Websites are huge advertisements. Get web hosting from an established site, such as Yahoo for example, or you can use
Myspace.com© for free web advertisement.
