As some of you know, I love cars and driving and I often blog about my car. My father was a mechanic and used to race in rallies so I guess my love for cars might be inherited from him
I love the smell of a new car and the excitement of driving a brand new machine but I have not had that pleasure since 2007. For someone who enjoys cars as much as I do, buying a new car is the ultimate thrill but if you think about saving money in transportation and getting the best value for your money, as I do, a second hand car is the way to go. You can check auto usate Milano for a good example of European second hand car business. When looking for a car dealer you´ll find signs such as compro auto usate or vendita auto usate.
Recently, I upgraded my second hand car and I´m very happy with the option I made. Most second hand car dealers offer one year guarantee which covers most parts. Plus, they have good connections with different credit companies and can help you find the best auto loan available.
I could list a dozen reasons for opting for a second hand car. On top of that list would be that a new car depreciates faster and, in my country, it pays more taxes than a second hand car. Plus, if I opt for a second hand car I can buy a better drive than a new one. I get more value for my money and I´m able to drive a top car which depreciation (that occurs in the five years) was paid by it´s previous owners. This means that I can drive a top car which is still in good shape for 25% of it´s price as new.
In my country, the second hand car business is well developed and it´s not difficult to find most brand’s parts. Because taxes are so high here, it used to be worthy buying a top second hand car in another European country and legalize it here.
This is my preference, which is yours?

Car Repairs
Today, I have to take my car to the repair garage because it needs new breaks. I won´t pay anything because it´s a part of a one year guarantee I got when I bought this second hand car. I have the annual inspection scheduled for 27 th so I need to have everything in shape.
Next time I need new ties, I will buy recycled such as composite railroad ties type. I recently learned that this type of ties are made from recycled plastics and last much longer than regular ties. Once they are made of recycled materials and don't have the harmful chemicals used to make the wooden ties last longer, they are good for the environment. Plus, I found that I don´t need to worry about safety issues and I will save some Euros with this deal.
I just hope everything goes well in my annual inspection because, this month, I´m not budgeting extra car repairs.

Car Repairs
As I mentioned in previous posts, I bought another car. I didn´t buy a recent car because I don´t want to get in debt I can´t afford. I have a one year contract that can be renovated up to three years but once I don´t have a stable situation, I didn´t want to risk anything in my monthly budget.
The car I bought already has ten years old but I think I made a good deal buying a second hand car. The car was recently painted, has new tires, the motor is running smoothly and the best part is the one year full guarantee I got from the stand where I bought it. This guarantee only covers mechanical repairs. If I have the bad luck of having an accident the guarantee doesn´t cover any repairs.
Anyone that has a car needs to know an auto body shop. If you have scratches in your car you can support the expenses yourself and avoid insurance. If you´re looking for a Los Angeles Auto Body you can check 101 Studio website. 101 Studio Auto Body Collision strives to be an affordable, high quality and dependable collision repair shop.

Auto A/C
The worst time to have my auto A/C fail is when I get caught in a traffic jam on my way to the beach. Summer is very hot here in Algarve. Some of our summer days can reach 40º C (or plus) temperatures and if I leave my car in the sun when I get in it I start sweating right away. Opening all my car´s windows or drinking cold water just isn´t enough.
If you need to replace your auto A/C or any part of it you can buy discount compressors, diesel fuel pump and other auto A/C parts online. Diesel Parts Pros is a website that offers the lowest price on A/C compressor, condenser, drier, air conditioning compressor and more.

Car Loans: It´s Time To Renovate Mine
Two years ago, we bought a new car. At that time, we gave some cash and made a car loan to cover the rest.
We did a car loan with specific payment conditions which included twenty four fixed payments and after that period of time we have several options. We can renegotiate the loan and extend it for twenty four more payments, we can get a new car or we can end the contract and return the car. This loans are a type of rental and at that time it was the best solution for us.
Now that our first loan is ending, we have to decide what to do. I´ve been looking for other types of car loans online to check if I can reduce our monthly payments. I found that if you´re in the opposite situation you can do Pink slip loans. I didn´t know this loans before, they´re appropriate for those who have a car but need money and they´re also called Collateral loan. With this type of services your car is evaluated and you can get a percentage of it´s value. Your loan can be approved, even if you’ve been denied credit elsewhere.
A Car title loan can be a solution if you have a car and need money for an emergency. You need to have all legal papers of the car but you can manage all the process online.

Informational Website: Auto Loans
With the present economy downturn, and high gas prices, many of us are trying to reduce expenses with cars, while others decided to walk more, use bikes or public transports.
I´m included in the first group. In 2007 I bought a new car and, alike a big percentage of Portuguese population, I had to ask an auto loan. I was in a rush to have the new car because my old one had a motor problem.
At that time, I didn´t research much about the different auto loans options available but if I had done so maybe I would have found a credit with lower interest rates.
I think someone who buys a car using a loan always loses money. In this business, winners are car dealers and financial companies. If we´re not careful when choosing a car loan we can end paying almost the value of two cars.
If you need information about the different options available in the car financing market, there´s a website called automakers rescue, that was created to provide articles about specific topics related to car loans. In this website you´ll find articles that cover topics such as used car loan options, solutions for poor credit, best online rates, information about leading providers and other useful resources.
