How Old Is Your Car?

How Old Is Your Car?

For many of us purchasing a new car makes us cringe. In today’s society, many people decide to purchase a new car every couple of years or to just lease and never own their own vehicle. For someone like me, this concept is lost. I want to pay off a car and enjoy not having a car payment. It is like pulling teeth for me to go to a dealership when I need to purchase a new vehicle. I will literally drive my vehicle until it is no longer financially advisable to repair it. This happens all the time though to many people. They take their vehicle to the mechanic for repair and realize that the cost of the repair is more than the worth of their vehicle. The problem with this is that if you have reached that point, then it is highly probable that the vehicle will continue to deteriorate at a costly rate. This is when it may be time to think about purchasing a new vehicle.

Where Do I Start When Buying a New Car?

Although it may seem gut-wrenching to pick up a car payment when you haven’t had one for many years, it is sometimes necessary as well as more cost-efficient in the long run. So, where do you start? The best place to begin is on a used car lot. Many people think that buying a brand-new vehicle is a better choice because they are “more reliable,” but this is not always the case. My father-in-law, for example, purchased a brand-new Jeep that only had 24 miles on it and within six months the drivetrain went out. It was under warranty, but this just goes to show that used vehicles can actually be more reliable than brand-new ones. Used vehicles have already had most of the kinks and quirks worked out of them, so if there was something wrong with them when they were brand-new, it is highly probable that it has already been fixed. The other and typically most attractive aspect of purchasing a used vehicle over a brand-new one is the price. Used vehicles are substantially lower in price than brand-new vehicles. This makes used vehicles much more affordable.

A Helpful App

                                                              apple.com  A Helpful App We all want to be safe on the road, as well as others. But some of us can't help being on our phone or becoming distracted with other things while driving. Thankfully there are a few hand-free options out there, and Apple's CarPlay is one of them. Standard infotainments don't offer what CarPlay does. With CarPlay, you are applying iPhone software expertise to your driving experience, with Siri voice commands. Sending messages, playing music, asking for directions, streaming radio, or calling people hasn't been easier. All without touching your phone. It relies on Siri voice commands so you can keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Keep in mind, CarPlay is an app, it doesn't replace your standard entertainment system. Your c...

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis?

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis? We live in a society where people typically drive their vehicles for a short period and do not actually pay them off before jumping into a new one. There can be many reasons for this. This means that the total amount that they owed on the previous vehicle is tacked onto the new one so. Therefore, many people are indebted to their vehicles more than they are with their actual home loans. For these types of people, leasing a vehicle sounds like a good option because you get a new one every two years. The only issue with this is that you are only allowed a certain number of miles per year. So, for those of us who travel long distances every day back and forth to work, school or traveling, leasing is not the best option. We exceed the number of allotted miles in only a few months. The Alternative to Leasing A Vehicle So, what does someone do that travels great distances every day to be able to lease or to fit within the qualifications of a l...
