Okay, not the car itself, but a screensaver and desktop wallpaper of the car you can only dream of buying. Dream of owning a Mercedes? Then you can download not only Mercedes’ wallpapers, (like the one seen to the left, which is a screenshot of my own desktop), but a screensaver with a digital clock as well. Have your dream car, without paying a dime.

What Site Offers Free Downloads As Well As Used Car Information?

VCars.co.uk, based in the UK, is a group of 50 manufacturer specific websites, which offer assistance in finding used cars in your area if you live within the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, since I don’t live in the country, I cannot look up prices in order to compare specific dealers and cars for this review. I can, however, show you the features available.

Interactive Search By County

This feature is one I would like to see on dealerships sites here in the US. The screenshot to the left shows counties within the UK. By simply hovering over the map with the mouse, you can click the county you want for the search.




Upon doing so, another interactive map appears, showing qualified used car dealers in the chosen area.

Motoring News And More

VCars.co.uk also offers a section dedicated to motoring news, a good source for those of you interested in Formula One racing, auto trends and major news regarding the top manufacturers in the world. The news section is broken down into categories, from Alfa Romeo to Chevrolet. You can subscribe to the feed, (and as of this post, the feed has over 1300 subscribers-the site’s archives only go back to January, 2007, so these are excellent numbers for such a new site), or receive email updates. If you’re a car enthusiast, Vcars.co.uk is a site to visit, utilize their services, keep up to date and download a few free items as well.
