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.

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running. While doing so, Rudy uses standard stereotypical used car salesmen techniques like cheesy commercials, fast-talking, and pressure selling. He even baits a customer from a competing lot by using a $10 bill on a fishing line to get the man to cross the street. Joey O’Brien from Cadillac Man . The ...

Why Buy Through a Pre-Owned Car Dealership

Why Buy Through a Pre-Owned Car Dealership When you hear the words “used car dealership” you think of pushy salespeople trying to sell you an overpriced clunker. But there advantages to buying from an independent car dealership. And if you keep in mind that not all salesmen are trying to make a quick (and dishonest sale) you just might find the vehicle you deserve. The Advantages If you decide to go the route of buying from a dealer, instead of a private seller, you can choose some extra options for your vehicle. You can opt to have an extended warranty to cover your vehicle after the manufacturer warranty expires, curb rash can be removed, and special promotions may be offered, such as free oil changes or free tire rotations. Dealerships care about their reputation, it’s how they keep customers and gain new ones. So you can expect that customer service will be top-notch and they won’t just wash their hands clean after the sale. Dealers also offer their own financing and financ...

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America Over the years, Route 66 has provided travelers, dreamers, and renegades with an experience no other route can give. Established November 11, 1926, covered 2,448 miles and originally ran through eight states starting from Chicago, Ill to Santa Monica, CA and quickly began to be one of the most popular highways in America. It soon became known by other names such as The Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and was spotlighted in John Steinbeck’s classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When The Great Depression hit in 1929 over 200,000 traveled to Californa seeking reprieve from The Dust Bowl and used The Mother Road to escape. Some traveled west with the promise of work. With barren land surrounding them, farmers and their families gathered essentials and traveled west in hopes of work. Towns, mom and pop businesses, and service stations along the highway survived The Great Depression by catering to travelers with supplies, fuel, and car parts. Res...
