You have two options when buying car parts: original parts from the dealership or aftermarket parts. Here are three reasons to go to the dealership and buy original parts.

1. Covered by warranty

Many new cars come with warranties for a certain amount of time. When something goes wrong, the warranty may actually cover it! However, most warranties won't cover an aftermarket part; they will only cover original parts. Furthermore, even new original parts can come with a warranty.

2. Quality assurance

In August, people in northern Virginia may have noticed that a driverless Ford Transit Connect van was cruising the streets -- in fact, the vehicle even drew the interest of local news media. As it turns out, the vehicle was not actually operating in full autonomous mode -- there was indeed a driver, although he was wearing a costume that looked like a car seat.

MYSTERY SOLVED! Spoiler: It was us. Here’s why: https://t.co/jsWBBZokKG#CityofTomorrow https://t.co/WIJM8WXmdx

2018 is drawing closer and closer. While it might be tempting to dive whole hog into one of the new 2018 vehicles hitting the market, 2017's cars aren't quite done impressing.

The 2017 Ford Explorer, for instance, remains one of the best mid-size SUVs available on the market. With three powertrains and multiple trims available, the 2017 Explorer delivers a powerful package that combines top-tier safety features a roomy interior and an impressive amount of power.

It’s been eight months since the debut of the 2018 Ford F-150, and in that time, we’ve learned plenty about what it will have to offer. Recently, it faced its most important test: being driven by reviewers. They loved it, of course, and it’s not hard to see why. The updated looks to the front fascia and tailgate, and engine upgrades elevate it on every level.

If you're seeking a high-performance hatchback for your next vehicular purchase, we here at Malouf Ford - Lincoln Inc. think you might like to make a point to meet ours, the 2017 Focus RS.

And why's that, exactly?

It is at this point we'd like to turn things over to AutoGuide.com Road Test Editor Dan Ilika; check out his review of the Focus RS in the clip below:

Simultaneously a beauty and a beast, the Focus RS's turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine is altogether in a league of its own.

Joining with an athletic, six-speed manual…

Be a team player. In fact —be a leader in the new —the vehicle that lets you comfortably bring crew and cargo everywhere you need to go. Whether you're traveling to a family reunion or a job site, Ford Transit Connect gives you the performance, technology and comfort you need every time.

You might have heard that it's a good idea to bring a roadside emergency kit on road trips.

This is true, but roadside emergencies don't wait to pounce until you make the commitment to travel several hundred miles. They can happen at any time, so your kit should have a permanent home in your car for life's unexpected bouts of misfortune.

If you don't already have a kit, don't worry -- now is an excellent time to make one!
