No car owner wants to hear that the problem the car is having is in the transmission. Transmissions are one of the most expensive parts that a car owner might have to replace – if the car is old enough, it sometimes makes more sense to replace the car entirely than to replace the transmission. But I’ve found that there are ways to save when you need transmission work! Not only are there ways to save money on a new or rebuilt transmission, there are also ways to locate transmission problems and have them fixed before they become too serious. This blog is designed to help you take better care of your transmission, and avoid paying too much for transmission repairs.
Buying a car is a major purchase. Many people wonder what type of car they should get. Buying a new, used or branded car, all have different advantages and disadvantages. Here are some things you need to know about each so that you make the best decision for your circumstances.
New Car
Advantages
The biggest advantage to buying a new car is that you get a warranty with the dealer. In most cases this warranty will last you for years. You might get free repairs, services and be notified of any recalls or problems that it might have. In addition, when you buy a new car you can expect to have a good reliable car for a long time.
Disadvantages
The biggest disadvantage to buying a new car is the price and the resale value. Buying new is a lot of money. Then if you decide to sell it you will not get out of it what you put into it. This is because when you buy it you are paying to be the first person to drive it. If you sell it to someone else you will have to significantly lower the price making it so you lose money on the car.
Used Car
Advantages
One of the biggest advantages to buying a used car is that you can get a great deal. You can get a car that has low mileage and can even be a newer model for a fraction of what you would have paid if it were new. Plus, if you try and resell it, you will get a much more reasonable price on the car. It won't depreciate as much as if you bought it new. Depending on the car that you get, it can still be reliable and last you plenty of years.
Disadvantages
When you buy used there are no guarantees. In most cases, you don't get the warranty, so if the car does have problems you are on your own.
Branded Car
Advantages
Because a branded car has a rebuilt title, you will pay a fraction of what you would pay if the car were new or used. This doesn't mean that the car doesn't work. In fact, everything might be mechanically perfect. This means you can get an awesome, practically brand new car with low miles for far less than you would pay with a used or new car.
Disadvantages
The biggest disadvantage is the resale value and the warranty. However, if you factor in the fact that you paid less for the car when you got it, the car is probably deprecating at the same rate of a used car. Naturally, when you have a branded car you don't get a warranty.
By recognizing the pros and cons of each type of car, you can choose what is best for you. (for more information, contact Star Auto Mall LLC)
