Buy Used Car Tips

To buy used car is a great idea for saving money. Everyone knows that a new car lost 65% of its value in the first 5 years. But the case would be more extreme for a 1 to 2 years old car, it will lost its value 30-40%.

If you don’t mind to drive a used car (I mean a 2 to 5 years old car, it looks pretty new) rather than a new car, you may save much money to pay many other bills. If you want to keep the car not too old, you may resell it after driving for 2 to 3 years and buy another newer one. The value of the car will only drop 15% or less for a 5 years old car. Therefore, your driving cost for 2-3 years would only be 10-15% of the car’s original value.

Should You Buy An Automotive Extended Service Contract

The decision to purchase an extended service contract or mechanical break down policy as they are sometimes called, is a decision that has many variables. Depending on the age of the vehicle, the usage, how long do you plan on keeping the vehicle for are just a few questions that need to be considered.

If you look online, some of these so called guru’s who write scam pieces will tell you–Don’t Buy–it’s a scam. I whole heartily disagree with their opinions, I question if they have real world knowledge and experience to begin with. If they did, then I firmly believe their opinion would be other wise.

Shopping For A Car Online? Why eBay May Be The Best Place To Go

I’ve been fed up with new vehicle prices for a number of years, not to mention the ridiculous depreciation that occurs almost before the car is driven off the lot. Because of this, I’ve been buying used vehicles for quite some time. I usually pay cash for my used vehicles, thus avoiding the dreaded (for me anyways) monthly car payment. Of course paying cash does have it’s draw backs. First, I find I’ve had to settle for slightly older used vehicles that I could afford. Second, buying slightly older used vehicles ’sometimes’ means more maintenance costs. Overall though, I’ve been quite happy with my paid for beauties and find they get me where I’m going the same as the $30,000+ cars, trucks and SUV’s I see on the road every day.

During my most recent used vehicle buying binge – the last 14 months - I’ve needed to purchase a primary used vehicle for my wife, one for me and most recently, one for our youngest daughter who is in her ‘temp’ stage of driving. Since I’ve been an avid eBay® buyer and seller for the past 7½ years, last year I decided to give eBay a shot for my used vehicle consideration. Three used vehicles and well over $10,000 in savings off retail pricing, I can’t think of a better way or place to buy a used vehicle.
