South Korea is currently working towards doing away with pollution.  But how are they going to do that you ask? They’re going to get rid of older cars, of course!

Well, if we’re being realistic, they won’t be able to get rid of ALL older cars, but they can put consequences in place for people who do not follow the new rules.

According to The Wall Street Journal, one of the new rules will be “that old diesel-powered vehicles weighing 2.5 tons or more will be banned from Seoul if they aren’t equipped with an emission-reducing device or a low-pollution engine.” This rule may be starting in Seoul, but by 2020, it will apply to most cities across South Korea.

It has been proven by The Ministry of Environment that a diesel vehicle produced before 2005 emits eight times more bad gases than the newest models, further emphasizing South Korea’s reasoning on placing the ban.

The country is extremely serious about doing away with these older vehicles that emit unnecessary amounts of bad gases.  South Korea is able to prove that they mean business by charging drivers 200,000 won, or $180, for a single violation.

It will be interesting to see what people are going to do.  Whether they equip their vehicles with an emission-reducing device, or completely do away with their car/truck, one thing is for sure and that is that there will be a significant decrease in pollution produced across South Korea and citizens will start seeing less and less older vehicles roaming the roads.

Vehicle theft is something that is inevitable.  But is it a random act? Or do thieves have a rhyme or reason when they are committing the crime?

Even though we may never have an answer to this question, it seems as though there might be a little pattern behind the madness of vehicle theft.

Take a look at the 10 most stolen vehicles in 2015:

1. Honda Accord with 52,244 thefts
2. Honda Civic with 49,430 thefts
3. Ford Pickup 29,396 thefts
4. Chevrolet Pickup with 27,771 thefts
5. Toyota Camry with 15, 466 thefts
6. Ram Pickup with 11,212 thefts
7. Toyota Corolla with 10,547 thefts
8. Nissan Altima with 10, 374 thefts
9. Dodge Caravan with 9,798 thefts
10. Chevrolet Impala with 9,225 thefts

We’re not sure if this is a coincidence, but 52,244 thefts of the same type of car in one year seems to stand out a bit.  And to top it all off, the 1996 Honda Accord was the model that thieves went after the most.

Now that you are able to see the large amount of thefts that take place each year, follow these tips to help protect yourself and your car:

1. Always lock your car and roll up your windows when you walk away from your vehicle
2. Make sure to have your keys with you at all times

Recently, Millennials have been taking the automotive industry by storm.  These young adults are beginning to view car leasing as the new form of car buying. Salon.com claims that according to the latest data from automakers, over 34% of Millennials chose to lease a vehicle as opposed to buy one this year alone.  This is a percentage higher than any other age group. The site also shows that the Millennials have put a major push onto car leasing, causing the total number of leases for the first half of 2016 to reach 2.2 million.  But why are we mainly seeing this shift in the younger generation?

Well, according to Salon, most Millennials are not really into anything involving long-term commitments.  For example, they are delaying marriage and hopping around from job to job more than any other generation that preceded them.  Another reason why Millennials are so into leasing is because of the significant price difference in comparison to purchasing a car.  Nowadays, young adults are not earning high enough wages to be able to completely finance a car all on their own.

Additionally, this younger age group is more into staying up to date with the latest technology, another reason why they prefer leasing a vehicle.  With this short term commitment, Millennials are given the opportunity to experiment all of the newest car features, without the worry of what to do with the car that they purchased.

If you’re one of these Millennials that is more interested in leasing a car than buying one, check out Swapalease.com where you have the ability to take over the remainder of somebody else’s lease anywhere across the United States.  For more information on finding the best car lease deals or to learn how you can have a successful car lease trade, visit Swapalease.com or contact them at 866-SWAPNOW.
