How To Properly Test Drive A Vehicle
Posted on June 25, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
It doesn’t matter where you found the car, whether at a Dealership or from a private seller, the time will come when you need to drive the car with a critical eye, ear and feel. And you may not be totally comfortable with the prospect of doing a “test drive” because it’s obviously something most people don’t have to do very often.
So let’s do a trial run here. Some of this may seem painfully obvious, but you may be surprised by what many car buyers forget to do when in the heat of the buying process. So, try to stay calm and cool. You may even want to do a dry run on your own car first just to help the learning (or remembering) process.

There are some negatives when it comes to buying a vehicle at a government car auction. But there is also a key positive which makes them very worthwhile for car buyers interested in saving quite a bit of money.
My own opinion is that buying at government car auctions will likely take some patience. So, they may not be an answer for someone who needs a car “yesterday”. This isn’t to say that you will not find what you are looking for immediately … and get an outstanding price on it as well. But it’s more likely to take some time. I usually advise people to plan for a one to three month process. Here’s why:

If you’re in the market for a new car, watching for the monthly car sale numbers announced by the major automakers can often help you determine if it would be best to buy now, or to wait a bit more for better prices.
When there’s solid consumer demand and car sales are brisk, prices remain strong. Without any existing hints of weakness, it’s unlikely we would see better deals due to increased manufacturer incentives and/or Dealer discounts (although we can see this at times on particularly slow-selling models).

Are you starting a mobile oil change business? If so, you should concentrate on the fleet business, at least 50% of your business volume should be in the fleet business sector. It is wise to stay with commercial customers. It is much more efficient to do a line of vehicles, which are all the same, lined up in a row than to go from car to car in parking lots where every car is different with different filters, volumes of oil and idiosyncrasies.

Buying a used truck is no small thing as lot of money is involved and this investment is also directly responsible for making your work more efficient. Earlier, trucks were pretty simple with the basic build and there were not many options or confusion when it came to buying a truck be it new or old. Things have taken a change for the better off late with trucks coming with so many added accessories and attachments that it is not an easy task to buy one especially if it is old as it will indirectly imply that all these parts have been or will sooner be liable to damage. Some points to be noted when buying a used truck could be:

When buying a new car, trading in your old one is a quick and easy solution. Of course, you won’t get as much money compared to selling it yourself. If the vehicle isn’t too old and banged up, the difference could be in the $1,000 to $3,000 range.
But selling it yourself also comes with a price. Many people don’t relish the prospect of having to interact with complete strangers. What if someone “undesirable” comes to your home to look at the car? What if your ad leads to some weird phone calls in the middle of the night?

Chances are you’ve seen the Saturday afternoon show geared toward squeezing every droplet of power out of a 50s or 60s classic. You know—the one hosted by two middle-aged guys, one with a toupee that may as well have “this is a toupee” painted on it. They spend the entire half-hour show with a bunch of time-lapsed shots taken of them tearing the engine apart to put in highly-specialized, insanely expensive parts. Once the project’s done, they fire-up the dyno and laud the 3hp gain they received for about 4 hours of total work. If you’re like me, that’s not exactly how you want to spend a weekend, all for 3hp that you may not even notice with your rear-o-meter.
