11 Steps To Becoming A Super-Power Car Buyer; Part 2

Posted on by

Step #1 (of 11 Steps To Becoming A Super-Power Car Buyer): Ask Yourself If You Should Buy New Or Used?

Most people think the answer to this question is obvious – NEW.

But most of those people haven’t spent any time thinking about the actual pros and cons of each.

Many people believe you should only buy used if you can’t afford to buy a new car, but that logic is completely flawed.

Let me explain…

Have you heard all of those recent TV and Radio campaigns for all these amazing deals, huge rebates, low financing and ridiculous incentives on new vehicles? Of course you have. Who hasn’t. They’re everywhere!

Because of these aggressive campaigns and extremely attractive sale opportunities, the number of new cars, trucks and SUV’s sold by automakers since Cash For Clunkers is growing at a record pace.

What does this mean to you and me?

Good question.

It means that there has never been a better time to consider the merits of a used car instead of a new one.

Why??

Because, until a couple of years ago, all of these new car buyers have created an overabundance of used cars – by turning in leases and trading in recently purchased vehicles…which gives you, the used-car shopper, a mega-amount of choices of quality, low mileage vehicles.

Plus, the flood of people that bought all those new vehicles during the original Cash For Clunkers have started to trade-in those cars and has made the used car market ripe for the pickin’.

See…the used car market is somewhat depressed, which means the prices are lower than normal.

This is not good for your new-car buyer friends who are trying to get maximum money for their two and three year old trade-ins, but it’s great for the smart shopper like you who knows the insider information about buying used cars at depressed market prices.

You are the one who scores. You are the one who will save money.

Why would a used car dealer tell you this, let alone put it in writing?

Because I am in the best position ever to offer you an amazing, high-quality, pre-owned vehicle for a price and a payment that’s unheard of.

Plus, because so many new car buyers are trading in their cars so quickly to get jammed into another, most of these vehicles come with the peace of mind of it being top-quality and barely used.

What really matters is having a car you truly love and adore that is dependable and affordable.

If your budget is at its max, then buying a used car makes sense. It is the only way to get the most vehicle for the least amount of money.

How many new cars do you know of that list for under $10,000?

We both know what kind of car that buys. Not much. A strip-o model. That’s car talk for a car that has no features.

Manual transmission, no A/C, you can forget safety features and definitely no luxury accommodations.

What fun is that?

Michelle Krebs of Cars.com writes, “For less than half the price of the average new car, you can buy a 3- or 4-year-old used vehicle that is larger and loaded with more features than the small, bare-bones new one.”

Now we’re talking.

But I’m not going to be one sided here. Buying a used vehicle has its drawbacks.

You are not the first owner of the vehicle so you don’t know where and how it was driven or how it was cared for.

Was the scheduled maintained performed?

You may or may not know.

Many say that a used vehicle will require maintenance and possibly expensive repairs sooner than a new one, and these repairs may or may not be covered by a warranty depending on the vehicle you buy.

One state Independent Automobile Dealers Association web site states, “All automobiles require upkeep, so factor in some amount for repairs. A good rule of thumb: Multiply the number of miles you expect to drive a month by 38 cents; the amount of money you should set aside a month to cover operating costs and maintenance on a car in addition to your car payment and insurance.”

Operating costs include everything from repairs and routine maintenance – like oil changes – to gas, car washes, and air fresheners.

In the next post, I’ll share with you Step #2: The pros and cons of buying both new and used.

Winter Weather Driving Tips From Frank Myers Auto Maxx

Posted on by

Frank Myers Auto Maxx, the Winston Salem, North Carolina used car dealership, wants you and your family to be safe this winter. The severe winter blast late that happened in the Triad late last year resulted in hundreds of accidents across North Carolina. Black ice was the cause of many of those accidents. Drivers are given a false sense of security because of the difficulty of seeing black ice. Forecasters are predicting another round of winter weather this upcoming week. That’s why we’re offering the following winter driving tips:

*Please remove snow and ice from windshield, hood, roof, trunk, and all lights BEFORE driving.

*Keep emergency supplies in the trunk, such as warm blankets, bottled water, non-perishable snacks, road flares, ice scraper, shovel, jumper cables, flashlight with batteries and kitty litter or sand to use for traction in case you get stuck.

*Please charge cell phone.

 *Reduce your speed by half when driving on packed snow; slow to just a few miles per hour when on ice.

*Accelerate slowly when traveling on snow or ice. Turn the wheel in same direction if you start to skid. Take your foot off the gas if your tires spin.

 *When on snow or ice, keep a greater distance between your car and the car ahead of you. Begin slowing the vehicle sooner than you would in normal driving conditions.

Remember: Prepare Your Vehicle For Winter Driving

It’s always important to have reliable transportation…especially in the winter. While you should keep your vehicle in top operating condition all year round, it is especially important to get it winterized to avoid any unpleasant or dangerous situation while traveling in frigid weather. You can get the following items checked at the Winston Salem based Frank Myers Auto Maxx Auto Service Center:

  • Ignition system
  • Fuel system
  • Belts
  • Fluid levels
  • Brakes
  • Exhaust system
  • Wiper blades and windshield washer fluid
  • Snow tires
  • Tire tread and pressure
  • Defroster
  • Proper grade oil
  • Cooling system
  • Battery
  • Lights
  • Antifreeze

Also always fill the gasoline tank before a long trip or even for a short distance. Stop to fill-up long before the tank begins to run low. Keeping your tank as full as possible will minimize condensation, providing the maximum advantage in case of trouble.

Additional Winter Driving Tips Everyone Should Know

  1. Pay attention to the posted speed limits and remember that they are for dry pavement.
  2. Know your current road conditions.
  3. Remember that bridge decks freeze first. Due to the difference in the exposure to air, the surface condition can be worse on a bridge than on the approach road.
  4. Be aware that exit ramps are an even greater challenge during the winter since they may have received less anti-icing material than the main road.
  5. Don’t use the “cruise control” option driving in wintry conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the slightest touch of your brakes to deactivate the cruise control can cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
  6. Remember that, if you are driving a four wheel drive vehicle, the vehicle may help you get going quicker but it won’t help you stop any quicker. Many 4×4 vehicles are heavier than passenger vehicles and actually may take longer to stop.
  7. Look further ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks will alert you quicker to problems and give you a split-second extra time to react safely.
  8. Remember that trucks are heavier than cars. Trucks take longer to safely respond and come to a complete stop, so avoid cutting quickly in front of them.
  9. Stay back at least 200 feet from maintenance vehicles and plows. Also, whatever you do, don’t pass them on the right.
  10. Seat belts should be worn at all times and please remember to SLOW DOWN!
  11. Beware of snow plows!

The best advice that we can give you is not to go out driving in hostile winter weather. However, if you absolutely have to then it is a good idea to be prepared. In just a few minutes you can be ready for any situation that could arise when you are out in bad weather.

Posted on by

So you’re in the market to buy a new car or used car, are you? This can be quite a stressful time for many people.

Car expert Donna Kane from Hyundai Motors America says, “Buying a car doesn’t have to be so traumatic. By doing a little homework, the overwhelming process of purchasing a car – and actually getting the one you want at a good price – can become much less stressful.”

You see, the real secret to making the car buying process an easy, stress free and fun event is all in the initial research you do before you ever step foot on a car lot.

Many people believe that when the time comes to buy a car they have to start randomly hitting car dealerships, wandering aimlessly with no plan of attack.

That is NOT a smart strategy.

But you would be surprised at how many people use this exact method. This is probably why so many people feel stress and anxiety when buying a car.
