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.

Below are a few myths and facts that you may have wondered about, such as types of car soap, supplies, and other topics. This or That There might have come a time that you were out of car soap or heard from someone that dish detergent will clean your car. Well, it would CLEAN your vehicle, but dish detergent will actually speed up oxidation on the paint, and it will lead to a degradation of the paint job. A shiny car isn’t necessarily a clean car.
