Instead of a car, some people have fond of jeeps. It is a smart, sturdy four-legged vehicle that gives you complete comfort driving. There are different types of trucks available in the market, satisfying a wide population's needs and requirements. The three basic types of chips that are readily feasible are jeep wrangler, jeep patriot, and jeep compass. A buyer can choose any of the above models of a new jeep forsale which best suits him.
If a buyer has a specific choice related to any jeep model, he or she go-ahead for that. But if you are looking for the best model, which better fits your needs, then you should do quality research by browsing the web. You will find a variety of options on the internet with detailed features like whether it's petrol, diesel or CNG based, the budget required to purchase and many other things. Other than this, you may also check customer reviews on a particular jeep brand to know their experience with the jeep. These help you a lot to reach the final decision of choosing the right brand and model of the jeep.
But first, you must be clear about your needs and requirements. To better know your needs and preferences, you must ask yourself the basic questions like-
What purpose are you going to use it for?
What is your budget plan?
How long are you going to keep the jeep?
Who else uses the vehicle you purchase?
These questions will help you better know what you want or don’t want in a jeep. It is important to know as you will make a huge investment that consumes all your bank balance. So you must be careful and attentive while analyzing all the details and make a fair decision with your earnings. Let's begin with an important questionnaire-
What purpose are you going to use it for?
While purchasing a jeep, the first and foremost thing to keep in mind is your purpose of buying it; for what purpose you are going to use it? A buyer must first consider his family and lifestyle. If you want to buy it for yourself to go around the city or have a large family purpose.
If you have a complete family with babies and elder parents, then you should look for easily accommodate jeep seats. For example, a two-door jeep would not fulfill this requirement and make your life complicated by fitting in such a small car. A four-door vehicle is a more practical choice in this case. The second thing you want a car that’s easy to get into because it is comfortable for your elder parents. In this case, you should choose the vehicle which is low to the ground as it is difficult to step up in SUV model jeeps.
What is your budget plan?
Whether it is your first car or fourth, a buyer must plan his budget before he started looking for different jeep models. This helps you do practical research because you don’t have to spend time looking into that brand or model's features, which is out of your budget. From a financial point of view, a buyer must choose the brand which is feasible according to his budget because there are other lists of expenses that come along with the purchase of a new vehicle like
Car insurance
Annual maintenance
Auto loan payment
License and tags
Repairing charges
State registration charges
These are the additional charges which a buyer cannot skip because it is essential to keep your vehicle in good working condition. Thus it is essential to consider this cost into your budget while making the decision.
If you are taking a car loan to purchase the vehicle from a new jeep forsale, you generally get a car loan for 20 % of your earnings. But you should still try to make it under 10% so that it does not increase the burden of the loan.
How long are you going to keep the jeep?
This is also important to know how long you are going to keep the vehicle. Before making the final purchase, a buyer must ascertain whether he is going to use this vehicle for two or three years or making an investment for long time use. A buyer should make the investment according to your usage period. Some people also deal in reselling the vehicle after using it for a short time span; in such case, there is no need to make a huge investment.
One should also consider how his needs will change and try to accommodate for it as if you are going to get married in the near future then you should consider a jeep according to your family needs.
Who else uses the vehicle you purchase?
Different car models are suitable for different age groups. If you are going to purchase the jeep for your teen child, safety should be your top priority. It is because teens have the highest rate of accidents due to reckless driving. Thus look for a safe featured car to keep your child safer in case of any mishappening.
Do you drive the car yourself, or you have a car driver? If you have a car driver, you should consider his comfort and suitability according to a different vehicle.

THE chairman of Asda has admitted the supermarket chain still faces challenges after sales slipped again over the summer, but said the completion of a major IT overhaul was crucial for its recovery.
Allan Leighton told the Times that the long-delayed technology project, called Project Future, had finally been finished after years of setbacks and costs exceeding £1 billion. The work involved separating more than 2,500 systems inherited from former owner Walmart, following Asda’s 2021 takeover by TDR Capital.
Describing the programme, he said it might be “the biggest IT systems change, certainly in Europe, maybe ever”. He added: “The cost is material, but largely that is now behind us.”
The supermarket acknowledged that the switchover had caused “temporary disruption with product availability” both online and in stores, which would weigh on sales through to September.
Leighton explained: “We’ve been doing 50 stores a week, every week, for 10 weeks. The collective scale of that does cause some friction… so that’s where the impact has been.”
Leighton, who rejoined Asda last November after previously leading the business in the 1990s, has focused on price cuts and improving stock levels. He said he did not expect “any miracles” but stressed that completing the IT work and reducing distractions was “very critical” for the turnaround.
Asda has been pouring money into a Rollbackprogramme of price reductions to compete with Tesco, Sainsbury’s and the fast-growing discount chains Aldi and Lidl. The grocer said its average reduction under the scheme was about 22 per cent.
He also voiced concern about government policy, warning that chancellor Rachel Reeves’s approach could push up prices. “There’s no doubt all of this is hitting the pocket of the consumer. And when that happens, that’s not particularly good for anybody. I think there’s more gloom than we’ve seen for a long time,” he was quoted as saying. He added that Reeves risked driving up food bills by “taxing everything in some way shape or form.”
Sales at Asda fell 0.2 per cent in the three months to June 30, excluding fuel, while turnover edged down to £5.3bn. Earlier in the year, sales had fallen nearly 6 per cent.
Data from research firm Kantar showed the supermarket’s market share dropped further over the summer, with sales down 2.6 per cent. Aldi is now close to overtaking Asda as the UK’s third-largest grocer.
Leighton pointed to other parts of the business as bright spots. George, Asda’s clothing and homeware arm, posted 2.5 per cent like-for-like growth, while its convenience format Asda Express rose 8.6 per cent, outpacing the wider market. “We’re more than just a supermarket,” he said, highlighting its clothing stores, cafés and opticians.
Retail analyst Clive Black of Shore Capital said, “Asda’s Q2 performance is not yet at a stage of putting up the bunting, but we are pleased to see for all those in Leeds the signs of improvement, which we anticipate will now follow through into forthcoming quarters.”

UK VEHICLE exports to the United States rose in July after a new trade deal between London and Washington reduced tariffs, industry data showed on Thursday.
According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), exports increased 6.8 per cent in July to nearly 10,000 units, following three consecutive months of decline.
The SMMT had earlier reported that exports to the US dropped 55.4 per cent in May compared with the same month last year, with smaller falls recorded in April and June.
"The US remains the largest single national market for British built cars, underscoring the importance of the UK-US trade deal, and July's performance illustrates the impact of this deal," the SMMT said.
The agreement, finalised in May and effective from June 30, cut tariffs on UK car exports to 10 per cent on up to 100,000 vehicles a year.
In April, US President Donald Trump had imposed a 27.5 per cent tariff, reducing demand and forcing manufacturers, including Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Aston Martin, to scale back or suspend shipments.
Almost 80 per cent of cars made in the UK last year were exported, mainly to the European Union.
The UK auto industry is largely made up of foreign-owned brands such as Japan’s Nissan and India-owned JLR.
The US is also a major market for UK-produced luxury models from Bentley and Rolls-Royce, both owned by German groups.
THE family of Christian Michel, the British businessman accused of acting as a middleman in the AgustaWestland VVIP helicopter deal, has appealed to the UK government to push for his release from Delhi’s Tihar Jail.
Michel’s relatives met Foreign Office minister Catherine West in London on Tuesday (26). The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said the minister listened to their concerns and updated them on ongoing steps being taken.
The case was also raised by prime minister Keir Starmer with his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, during his recent visit to London for the signing of the India-UK free trade agreement.
“The UK government is committed to seeing Christian Michel’s case resolved as soon as possible,” an FCDO spokesperson said. “We continue to provide consular assistance to Mr Michel and his family and have consistently raised his case with the Indian government.”
British officials at the High Commission in Delhi regularly meet Michel in detention, most recently on August 14.
Michel’s son, Alois, said: “An Indian court has recently rejected my father’s appeal for release from prison, even though he has already served the maximum sentence of seven years for the charge on which he was extradited. I have requested the UK government to approach the International Court of Justice because India is not respecting its obligation to the rule of law.”
Indian courts have ruled that Michel still faces charges, including forgery, which could carry a life sentence. He was extradited from Dubai in December 2018 and arrested by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The ED claims Michel received £25.8 million in kickbacks from AgustaWestland, allegations he denies. According to investigators, the helicopter deal signed in February 2010 caused losses of around £341m to the Indian exchequer.
In February this year, the Supreme Court of India granted Michel bail in a CBI case, followed by a Delhi High Court order granting bail in the ED case. However, he has yet to furnish bail bonds. His family fears that accepting bail terms may lead to further charges.
ASIAN entrepreneurs Mohsin and Zuber Issa are moving the headquarters of their global forecourt company, EG Group, from Blackburn to the US in preparation for a major stock market listing in New York.
The firm confirmed that its main office will relocate to Charlotte, North Carolina, while a new base in Bolton, Greater Manchester, will handle its remaining UK operations, the Telegraph reported. The change brings an end to almost 25 years of the company being run from Blackburn.
According to the BBC, Blackburn will retain about 300 jobs, less than half of the current 700 staff.
The move is seen as a milestone for the Issa brothers, who rose from running a small family shop to building one of the world’s largest petrol station businesses.
Despite the shift overseas, the family has continued to invest in Blackburn, with projects including a mosque, luxury homes near their childhood area of Brookhouse, and plans for one of the country’s biggest cemeteries.
Quesir Mahmood, Lancashire County council’s cabinet member for economic development, said, “While this represents a change for the company, our understanding is Blackburn will remain a key base for EG Group, with around 300 staff continuing to work from the borough. This is a significant and ongoing commitment to our borough and one we greatly value.”
However, Conservative councillor Paul Marrow warned the decision could leave the modern building underused. He said, “This is a massive blow to Blackburn. EG Group has been a flagship business headquartered here for many years, and it is particularly sad to see such a reduction in its presence.”
EG Group is preparing for a $13 billion (£9.7bn) flotation on the New York Stock Exchange. The US has become its most important market, generating most of its income.
The company no longer runs any petrol stations in Britain. Last year, Zuber separated its remaining forecourts into a new venture, EG On The Move, which continues to operate from Blackburn.
At present, the brothers each own 25 per cent of EG Group, while private equity firm TDR Capital controls the remaining half. TDR is also the main backer of supermarket chain Asda, which the Issas bought into with the firm in 2021.
EG said its Bolton office would help the company “maintain roots in the north-west” while reflecting its smaller UK and European presence. It did not confirm if the shift would affect jobs.
Earlier this year, Mohsin stepped down as chief executive, handing over the role to former finance chief Russell Colaco. Both brothers are understood to still live locally and remain connected to the community.
Reports have suggested that Zuber had preferred selling the US arm, valued at around $5bn (£3.7bn), instead of pursuing a public listing.
The company, founded as Euro Garages, grew rapidly after acquiring fuel sites from brands such as Esso. A merger with the European Forecourt Retail Group in 2016, backed by TDR, helped it become a global player and later expand aggressively in the US.
That growth relied heavily on cheap borrowing during the years of low interest rates. Rising costs after the pandemic forced EG to cut back and sell assets to reduce debt.
WORKERS at the Radisson Blu hotel in Canary Wharf have cancelled a planned six-week strike after reaching an agreement that met all their demands.
The group of housekeepers, most of whom are migrant women from Nepal and members of the United Voices of the World (UVW) union, were due to begin industrial action on Sunday (31). It would have been the longest hotel strike in the UK since 1979, a statement said.
The dispute involved staff employed through the outsourcing company WGC, which provides facilities services to several Radisson Blu hotels in London.
Following negotiations with UVW, WGC agreed to increase pay to the London Living Wage of £13.85 per hour, issue back-payments, reduce workloads to 14 rooms per day, and reinstate guaranteed 40-hour contracts.
In response, the workers voted unanimously to call off the strike. The decision follows earlier strike action on August 9, which was the first hotel workers’ strike in England in nearly five decades.
Doris Selembo, a housekeeper at Radisson Blu for over 30 years, said, “The whole team stood together and achieved this win. We are both excited and grateful — excited for the future and grateful because we are with UVW, and WGC are finally listening to us.”
UVW general secretary Petros Elia called the agreement a significant milestone. “This is the first victory in the hotel sector in England since 1979. Our women members have proven that when workers organise, stand together, and fight, they win. They have made history," Elia said.
The workers’ initial demands focused on secure contracts, fair pay, and manageable workloads, issues that the union and workers say had long been ignored.
The resolution brings an end to the dispute in a sector where outsourced workers are commonly employed under less secure terms and lower pay, the statement added.
