Look For Public Auctions

And while you will need a dealer’s license to get in, it will be well worth it with the amount of money you can save.  Read more... (486 words, 1 image, estimated 1:57 mins reading time)

If you are trying to get an extra special deal on a used vehicle, you need to find a way to get around the middleman and go right to the wholesale car auctions where the actual dealers pick up their cars.  Are you aware that used cars are in actual fact marked up around 200%? The fact is if you pay $5000 to buy a car the dealer actually paid less than two grand for the same car at an auction.

By excluding the middleman you personally get yourself an exceptional deal on a car without having to go through any of the irritation of dealing with a dealership. Many times a person might lose their job, and as a result of that they can’t keep up with their car payments so their car ends up getting repossessed. In this type of a situation the repossessed vehicle ends up on the auction block and gets sold. You can discover cars that are nearly brand-new with very low mileage as well as finding vehicles that were modified by the previous owners. We’re talking about cars with a price tag of anywhere from $10,000-$15,000 brand-new, and they sell at auction for less than $5000. There are a number of really amazing opportunities to pick up high-quality vehicles at wholesale car auctions. So if you’re in the market for a new car you should seriously contemplate checking one out.  Read more... (667 words, 1 image, estimated 2:40 mins reading time)

A car differs from a truck in many ways. It is much bigger, much wider and much harder to handle. Proper training is required for this. This is no walk in the park. Without proper guidance, you may put other lives in danger. Worst case scenario? Killing yourself or other people. Before enrolling to the school, you must qualify for these factors:

 1.       Price

Consider the enrollment fee. Quality should always be equal to quantity. When it comes to a truck driving school you must be the ultimate decision maker. Not all truck driving schools are equal based on the enrollment fee alone. Large discounted pricing attracts a lot of people. Before enrolling, ask other students about financing, grants and how others pay for their class. Try canvassing and asking different kinds of schools about their price and other people about their quality. This will ensure  that your money will not go to waste.

2.       Location

Lazy? Then choose a driving school that’s near your home. You don’t have to drive for a thousand miles. Look for the nearest driving school to where you stay. Make a decision based on your advantage including the things you need.  Read more... (530 words, 1 image, estimated 2:07 mins reading time)
