About Us
Lifeonfour is more than just another automotive media outlet. We strive to provide the internet with information that will ease your purchase of a used car. The truth is, no other online media is really interested in writing about the real car problems people are experiencing.
The majority of automotive media outlets are focused on new cars because that’s where the money is. However, not many of us are standing in line to buy the latest and greatest. That is exactly why we, at Lifeonfour, focus on writing detailed buyer guides, engine problem analysis articles and transmission problem pieces for older car models that are most popular on the used car market.
The author behind Lifeonfour is Jure Hodnik, an automotive researcher and writer.
