Save Money On Your Car's Care During An Economy Crisis
Having the freedom to go where you want is great. Having a car to get you there is even better; thus, solidifying our love for our wheels. That being said, a car can be an expensive acquisition. From the first dealer "fees" to the monthly maintenance or car note, when a car is involved, you can expect to shell out plenty of money. But, it doesn't have to be that way! Believe or not, you could actually save money from the moment that you buy your car to the amount that you pay for its monthly upkeep. Here's how...
Dealer Deals - Every year, there is a point when the "old" cars (usually those of the current year) are replaced with the "new" cars (the cars with the next year's date on them). Dealers all over will try to empty their lots of that current year's models, and are usually prepared to offer some great savings. Another way to save with the dealers is to consider getting a vehicle in which it is recently off lease. These cars usually have a manageable amount of miles and can be had for bargain prices. If you have a car to trade, don't offer that immediately. Get the lowest possible price from the dealer, and then tell them about the trade. Additionally, always keep their sales literature to back up any offers that you want to take advantage of also.
Get it free! This is not a joke. Families sometimes go through extreme financial difficulties, which could make owning a car seem virtually impossible. There are many social service organizations that provide cars, totally free of charge, to families and individuals with a serious need. These are often cars that are 4-7 years old that people have donated for a number of reasons, including getting a newer model or maybe their own family situation changed. Their generosity is your gain. If you life fits the mold, don't let this opportunity pass you by. It could be a real godsend for your family.
Save On Maintenance - Most local newspapers and circulars offer coupons for saving on car maintenance services. Buy for cheap everything from oil changes to tires by using these coupons and watching out for in-store specials.
Sign up for a service like AAA! AAA is a fairly cheap and extremely useful service to have for your family and vehicle. Not only will you save on your automotive needs such as renting cars, buying cars, and car maintenance, but your family will also save on other life expenses such as hotels and restaurants. All of that for under $40 a year for a basic membership. You can have peace of mind knowing that if you should need roadside assistance or to have your car towed, there will be someone that can help you without costing you an arm and a leg!
The key to saving some cash when it comes to your car is to search out the sales and seize discount opportunities when they arise. The benefits of these tips will be long term and greatly appreciated when you see the money that you save quickly adding up in your wallet! - 21392
