Saving In Akron

MARCH 8, 2011

I've been going over and over in my mind what to do – should I buy a used car? I don't mind buying a used car, but I'd prefer to buy one from someone I know so that I know what I'm getting myself into. I've bought a number of used cars, but always from someone I knew well.

But, in college, I spent my summer earnings – on clothes, on a used car and on school activities. Once we hit retirement, assuming your saving efforts have been successful, we might once again become spenders – pursuing delayed goals and dreams. Over my life, I have been primarily a saver.

As tempted as you are to jump into an expensive, new car to celebrate that high paying job you just got, consider going with a used or a certified pre-owned car. You avoid a large chunk of deprecation if you purchase used. Tackle Student Loans.

Use cars, animals or figurines you already have. It is so hot here that heading outside is the last thing the kids want to do. This idea involves a shower liner (pick one up at the dollar store) and supplies you probably already have. You can make a play mat of your town or a make believe town. Photo Credit.

Don’t look to buy used car seats though as you can’t be sure of their safety and whether they have previously been involved in an accident. Don’t be afraid to buy second hand items where possible but be sure to check that what you’re buying meets the relevant health and safety standards, especially for buggies and the like.

I bought new cars. Although we kept our automobiles for 8 – 10 years, I bought most of them new AND never dickered with the car salesman. The only used cars I’ve had were the first one when all I could afford was used and the one I have now, which was a year old when I purchased it.

When we bought our last car, we did end up buying new. We looked at some used cars, but with dealer incentives for new, and the time of year we bought (toward the end of the month in November), it ended up being cheaper to get the new car. What do you think?

So use car pools and public transport when you can, and drive only when you have to – you’ll save a lot on insurance. Some insurers will charge you less if you drive less on an average. Some firms in some states even have a pay-as-you-drive concept where your mileage decides the amount of insurance you pay. If you aren’t young.

Commuting to work not only saves wear and tear on your car (and wallet) but also reduces pollution – it means there is one less car on the road. Use Car Share Services like ZipCar rent cars by the hour, so if you only need a ride once in a while you should consider renting one instead of paying for your own.

If you use cars, trucks, vans, or other vehicles as part of your business, you need to make sure that they are properly covered. Just as you might not be able to rely on your standard homeowners policy to cover business use, you might not be able to rely on your standard auto policy to cover activities related to your business.

But the money they will give me will pay for at best, a semi-reliable used car with a lot of miles on it. I can’t afford to by a new car right now, since Nathan has been out of work since last December. Now to ME it was worth a lot more than that. It was paid off, and reliable and had a good 2 years left in it.

When I first started commuting, a family from our church actually loaned us their car for two months to ease our commute time! After we got out of debt, we did pay cash for a used car. What are your financial goals now? To be honest, we’ve sort of been coasting for the past few months.
