How To Buy and Maintain Your Vehicle During An Economy Crisis

By Alexandra Vrugt

Cars are great. They help us to do what we need to do when we need to them, but, these wonderful sources of autonomy can also be an expensive addition to a person's life. How can a frugal fashionista buy for a cheap a good set of wheels and still have some cash to take care of it? Here are some ways to have a car and save:

Dealer Deals - Every year, there is a point when the "old" cars (usually those of the current year) are replaced with the "new" cars (the cars with the next year's date on them). Dealers all over will try to empty their lots of that current year's models, and are usually prepared to offer some great savings. Another way to save with the dealers is to consider getting a vehicle in which it is recently off lease. These cars usually have a manageable amount of miles and can be had for bargain prices. If you have a car to trade, don't offer that immediately. Get the lowest possible price from the dealer, and then tell them about the trade. Additionally, always keep their sales literature to back up any offers that you want to take advantage of also.

Try to find a FREE car! There's nothing better than being able to buy for cheap than getting a car for free! Check sites such as Craigslist.org and Freecycle for people giving away free vehicles. If there are other mitigating personal life circumstances that you face, there are also social service organizations that give away cars to families and people that are needy

Save On Maintenance - Most local newspapers and circulars offer coupons for saving on car maintenance services. Buy for cheap everything from oil changes to tires by using these coupons and watching out for in-store specials.

Use a program like AAA. You can't beat the great deals that you get by just having a AAA membership. At less than $40 for a year's services and privileges, you can save on everything from car maintenance to emergency roadside assistance. Imagine the cost to get your car towed by an outside agency and compare it to the cost of a local towing with AAA. It's impossible because with AAA, local towing of less than 30 miles is FREE for members!

Try these money saving strategies for long term and satisfying vehicle ownership. Having a car doesn't have to rob you of your life's savings. With these tips you can enjoy your vehicle, buy for cheap, and save a few pennies for that much needed vacation! - 21396
