For as long as cars have been on the road, there’s been an ongoing debate about whether it’s better to buy a new car or buy a used car. Both sides of the argument had valid points, and people held steadfast to their beliefs. With the huge downturn in the US economy over the last few years, more and more people have come to realize that the used car people were right all along. It truly does make more sense to buy a used car. We’ve put together this list of 5 reasons that really swing the argument in favor of buying used:
The new year is here, and with it, we’ve got gas prices continuing to rise at a steady pace and the after-effects of the Great Recession still in full force. With families spending more and more each month at the gas pump, many drivers are finding creative ways to reduce their fuel bills. We’ve talked to many of our customers, and it’s clear that high gas prices are on everyone’s minds.

Winter is approaching, and it’s time to perform the yearly sad task of putting your boat to bed for the winter. Your boat is a big investment – winterizing your prize possession is a necessity to keep in in good condition while it’s hibernating. Winterizing will also help ensure that your boat will run in tip-top shape once spring rolls around and you take it out for the first run of the new year. It’s not a hard process, and come springtime, it’ll be completely worth it.
You should start by reading your owner’s manual – the manufacturer might have some specific instructions for winterization. Beyond that, the first step is to give your boat, engine, and trailer a thorough cleaning. You want to remove all of this season’s dirt, and it’s always a pleasure to remove your cover in the spring and see a sparkling clean boat.
