Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Borgward shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Borgward offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Borgward at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Borgward? Wrong! If the Borgward is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Borgward then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Borgward? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Borgward and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Borgward wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Borgward then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Borgward site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Borgward, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Borgward, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
Borgward was a Germany automobile manufacturer founded by Carl F. W. Borgward (
November 10, 1890 - July 28,
1963). The company was based in
Bremen.
The first "
automobile" Carl Borgward designed was the
Blitzkarren (i.e.
lightning cart, a sort of tiny three-wheeled van with only two horsepower (1.5 kW), which was, in the gap in the market it filled, an enormous success. Traders with a small budget bought it for delivery. The Reichspost ordered many of them for postal service. In 1929 Borgward became the director of Hansa (car) and led the development of the
Hansa Konsul. In February
1937 came the new Hansa Borgward 2000 and in
1939 the name was shortened to
Borgward 2000. The 2000 model was followed by the
Borgward 2300 that remained in production until
1942. After
World War II the company presented the
Borgward Hansa 1500, which was followed by the Borgward Isabella starting in 1954. The Isabella became the most popular model and remained in production for the life of the company. In 1959 the
Borgward P100 was introduced, with its impressive pneumatic suspension.
Borgward introduced a line of 1500cc Sports Car Racing in the late 1950s, with the 16-valve engine from these becoming a successful Formula Two power unit (which was also used by some F1 privateers in 1961).
In 1961 the company was forced into liquidation by creditors though Carl Borgward insisted the company was solvent. Events proved him right and all the creditors were fully paid off. In 1963 all manufacturing equipment for the Borgward Isabella and P100 was sold to Mexico where production was continued until
1970.
The Borgward group produced cars with the four brands Borgward,
Hansa (car),
Goliath (car) and
Lloyd (car).
One of the top engineers at Borgward was Dipl. Ing. Hubert M. Meingast between 1938 and 1952.
