Are Thinking About Downsizing Your Vehicle?

Having a large vehicle is wonderful if you have a large family, but once everyone is gone and you and your spouse are left with an empty nest, it may be nice to downsize to a vehicle that is not only smaller but one that makes sense depending on your situation. While having a big SUV is nice because of how spacious it is, it can also be uneconomical. Smaller vehicles can benefit from lower repair costs, such as tires or breaks because they don’t cost as much. Downsizing to a smaller vehicle can possibly put you in a better financial position which can free up extra money to put into other investments. Depending on where you live, work and regularly drive to, owning a smaller car can be a lot better for driving, especially if you don’t need to make those drives to practice, to and from school, and so on. Many people enjoy their large vehicle but not the hefty monthly payment. Downsizing may decrease your monthly payments and possibly insurance premiums. With that being said, don’t make the rash trade-in decision that will hurt you in the long run. Be sure to do your research to figure out what works for you.

Downsizing to a Car

Whenever you are deciding which car to downsize to it is important to choose a car that fits you and your needs. Just because you’re downsizing does not mean you have to choose an old granny car. You can always get a sports car like a Mustang or a Camaro which are popular and fun to drive. Downsizing does not mean downgrade. You can have a vehicle that is easy to drive, easy and affordable to maintain, and great on gas. Choose a car that you and your spouse will enjoy to drive.

Classic Automobile Features in You Won't See in Modern Cars

Classic Features Classic Features in Cars You Won’t See Today Who knows what kids will reminisce about years from now about their first car. Heck, there’s a chance vehicle won’t run on gasoline anymore, and that is something they will look back on and find nostalgic. Vehicles can start with the push of a button on your keychain, you can open the hatchback with the swipe of your foot, and heated seats (my personal favorite) are just a few features you can find in cars today. Here are a few classic features you won’t see today but were the best. Oldies and Goodies One of my favorites, bench seats. For some reason, I always thought they were fun as a kid, but looking back now, I realize how horrible they really were. Being squished between two adults was actually uncomfortable during long rides. I guess as a kid, you feel the front seat was larger than it really was, and sometimes you had it all to yourself- that’s fun. I’m sure several teenage boys took advantage of the seat design...
