Areas of Concern


While you're in the process of tweaking your used car so that it sells, there are several areas of concern that you want to take a look at because these are the areas that the consumer or potential buyer will gravitate towards. Understandably, one of the first is the acceleration. If a prospect finds that the car is sluggish in any way, they might be suspicious that there’s something wrong with the engine.

Potential customers will want to see if the car is powerful enough for them and will take their own driving habits into consideration when testing your car. If they do a lot of highway driving, they will want an engine that will bring him to cruising speed quickly and let them pass trucks on the highway in a hurry. Good acceleration also helps any driver’s ability to merge into lanes quickly.

As well they will want to really test the brakes.  This means they’ll want to do a little more than just slow down at stop signs so you might want to ride alongside them on any test drive while they stomp on the brakes to see what they’re really made of.  Really that’s only fair. If someone is really considering your car, they’ll want to know how it handles in emergencies.

Let them accelerate to their normal driving speed and then stomp on the brakes hard. They might also want to test out the steering in emergency situations as well by turning hard on the wheel. One of the best features that your brakes can show off is ABS—anti-lock brakes. This is a software program in the computer of your car that instructs the brakes to pump even if you stomp on them.   


Of course, the suspension is another important part of the car buying process. The suspension determines how the car rides, and how your back will feel when you go to bed. Some of the factors that a prospect will want to look at are how the car handles when driving through a parking lot’s speed bumps. You might even want to give this a try on your own to see if this could be a potential problem area. As well, you can really test out the suspension by going over a railway track to see how the car handles before you go out on any test drive with a prospect in the car with you.

Used cars also have various unique characteristics that the person considering the vehicle will want to test. You want to take the car out by yourself and turn the radio down and roll the windows up so that you can hear how well the car shifts gears and how the transmission sounds. In some cases where there might be extensive problems, it’s best to get a mechanic to have a look at the areas before you put the car on the market. Often, you’ll need to decide if the issue is worth fixing or if the car should just be sold ‘as is.’

The Pros and Cons of the Used Car

The Pros and Cons of the Used Car


There's no doubt about it anymore, the car market is changing and a lot of that has to do with rising fuel costs. All statistics tell us that more and more people are downsizing in the kinds of vehicles they drive and moving from the more expensive SUVs to the smaller compact models, and there is also a trend that is becoming evident that the used car is selling more rapidly than the newer car.

It is possible to buy a high quality used car for less than market value, drive it for several years, and then resell it at a price close to the original.  If you've done your homework and show a lot of patience you can save a lot of money on a used car.  Used cars are cheap to buy since the appreciation takes a large chunk of the price of the car as soon as you drive it off a lot brand new.

As well, used cars are cheaper to insure because the replacement value of these is lower and insurance premiums on older cars are lower than the brand new models. For the most part, used cars are well taken care of.  Particularly recently, these cars have been turned in after a one, two, or three year lease, and to avoid penalty charges consumers have taken care to make sure these vehicles are up kept in top condition.  One of the last advantages to choosing a used car is their abundance.

When you first start looking for a used car on the market you will be amazed at all the choices.  With such a wide range to choose from the consumer has quite a bit of power and the ability to walk away from any deal.

But there are disadvantages to the used car as well.  Used cars have limited warranties or maybe even no warranties at all. As well, some used cars can have a checkered past and it's difficult to get an accurate history of these cars unless there are fully documented service records within the vehicle.  Although it may not look that way on the outside, used cars are usually overpriced as well—especially from the dealerships. Make sure you always try to negotiate at least 10% off the sticker price.


Finally there is a disadvantage to the used car that you may not have thought of and that's that every used car is unique and because of that finding one that comes together with everything you want can be a chore. Every used car has different mileage, different options, and different driving characteristics. If you've decided that the used car is the right vehicle for you, it's wise if you keep your wish list flexible. Make sure that what you expect from a used car is fairly simple and not to elaborate. Used cars tend to come with different variations that are out of the control of the buyer.

Saskatchewan MP racist?

 

Saskatchewan MP Racist?

Give the guy a break. Saskatchewan MP, Racist. The tape is out but 16 years old. Should he resign? Canadians will make that descision over time but it is clear that he has appoligized for the time being. Ahhh , the politics of Canada. Who's the owner of this tape that it took 16 years to surface. Someone holding onto this tape for along time. What was said 16 year ago may be what we should all be asking we were doing? I am sure there are something we may not be proud of. Not to make accuses for the MP but it is something to thinbk about.
