Just like new...

Yesterday I was working with a customer who was looking to upsize his pick-up truck for towing purposes. He had an '07 in mind with specific mileage which we didn't have at the time. What he said next got me thinking, "Guess I'll just look into getting a new one." I translated that comment to mean something like, If I can't save on an older pickup I might as well just buy a new one. What I said to him next took him by surprise, "Why not buy a 2010 off of our lot with very low mileage and save close to 50%"? Ford in particular has been advertising employee pricing which sounds appealing. For comparison's sake take a look at what I suggested to the gentleman yesterday.

Now take a look at a 2010 from our lot 2010 F-150 at Strickland's

What should be obvious is that letting someone drive your pickup for a while will save you thousands of dollars...

Quest for value

A large percentage of the automobile market is occupied by the minivan. Growing families in need of seating capacity and transport space are the obvious candidates. Dodge has certainly done its part in meeting these needs and continues to be one of the most popular choices. With the financial demands of family life a key word ought to be "value." This week I noticed a 2007 Nissan Quest on the lot at Strickland's Automart that really fits the bill. At $13950 this minivan combines comfort and functionality and includes 3rd row seats that mimic the Dodge Stow'n Go feature.

A Clear View

It's often said that purchasing a vehicle is second only to decisions about home ownership. For better or worse our culture is 'driven' to a great extent by motor vehicles. We use them for work, family and recreation. Choosing a vehicle to meet our needs and budget combines a measure of anxiety and can be overwhelming. When anxiety meets with pressure from a salesperson poor decisions can be made. Others spend hours and days researching a purchase and can at times settle for a vehicle out of sheer exhaustion. Here are some of the kinds of questions that people ask themselves before buying:

• Am I a new or used buyer?
• What is my budget?
• Will I buy a vehicle for function or appearance?
• How far am I willing to travel for the best deal?

The list can go on and on. The best case scenario is when a person has reflected on questions like these before contacting a particular dealer. Having a salesperson decide for you can lead to regrets.
