Wanting to Get the Car of Your Dreams? Here’s How

June 14, 2015 by Editor

Let’s face it: Not every one of us could simply get everything we want on a whim.

Even getting a car is a much harder thing to do for many of us. So, unless you have dollars to spare in your bank account, here are some helpful tips for eventually driving the car of your dreams.

Searching and Researching

Just because a sedan costs way much more than what you can handle doesn’t mean you end up hopeless. Better deals on used cars are everywhere. But of course, you need to get geared up to search and spot the best deal around. And once you find that prospect, the next steps would be intensive research and testing.

Thoroughly check the car’s exterior and interior. From the inside, check for any smell of mildew or mold as this may indicate previous flooding. When checking the doors, make sure that each door is aligned with the body, as any misalignment could indicate past accidents and major repairs. Major impacts usually cause a little warping of the automobile’s body.

Then comes the car’s history. Of course, you can’t just do the guesswork, trying to go into the car’s history by just checking it’s physical appearance and performance. In Australia you can always obtain an automobile’s history report using the vehicle identification number (VIN) and running it through the PPSR database. You’ll know whether the used car for sale was written off, stolen or is still tied to financial encumbrances.

Impulse Control: Know When to Spend

You might not easily notice it, but your impulsive spending could result in accumulated expenses that might just surprise you at the end of the day. Yes, we understand that going out and about and splurging on the things you love are what keeps you happy after all. But if you want to save up for something, say, a car of your choice, self-control is the key to inching yourself closer to your dream.

So, how do you keep track and impose some realistic limitations to your cravings? One tip that you might find helpful is listing down all your expenses every day. You’ll notice that those daily trips to coffee shops with your friends really add up to hundreds of dollars every month. After getting concrete ideas on where your expenses go, it’s time to take control and limit your daily habits like cutting off your coffee shop routines to just three times a week for the first month, then reducing the frequency the following months. You’ll be surprised at how much savings you get in the end.

Save Up (And Use a Dedicated Bank Account)

If you need to do the extra mile just to get those savings racking up, then it’s time to try opening a special bank account. And every pay day, set aside a certain amount to be transferred to that account, but make sure you leave some for yourself — just a realistic amount to keep those expenses down without starving yourself, of course.

Launch a Garage Sale

We all have these clothes, gadgets or any other assets we no longer need or use. Why not earn some more cash by selling them? Whether you have a library of all those old books or a closetful of clothes you no longer wear, a garage sale can always add to your savings. No matter how minimal the amount is, you’d be happy to see your savings grow as weeks or months pas.

The Bottom Line

Saving up and earning a little more are the key to getting that car of your dreams. After all, nothing could be more satisfying than driving your own car you bought with all your hard-earned cash.

Financing Used Car Options

June 2, 2015 by Editor

Though buying used car can become tiring and requires a lot of things to deal with and after getting into all these steps the final thing to do is to decide on what financing options you will take in order to close the deal.

As a shopper you have to figure out how you’ll be able to pay for the used car that you wanted. There are two possible options that you can consider with your used car purchase. The first is to pay the car in cash and the second is to get the car under financing. But of course the first option isn’t going to be a wise choice that is why most used car buyer end up for financing options. But if you hold a very strict monthly budget, paying cash for a pre-owned automobile would be the best option.

Shopping for used car under financing entails that you know the APR or the Annual Percentage Rate in order to compare lenders offer, of course the lower the APR, the lower will be your loan.

Lenders offer shorter term loan on used car financing than those they have for brand new car. Due to the obvious reason that the serviceable life of the used car has been consumed when it is first owned.

So the practical decision will fall on how well you manage your monthly expenses and figure out if what will remain for your used car monthly payment will still fit in the budget considering that you have the terms and length of the loan. Financing companies’ usually allow a one to three year financing terms on used vehicles.

High monthly payments may vary on some reasons:

· Shorter term of the loan
· Small down payment
· No down payment
· High interest rate to pay the lender for the menaces connected with used cars

So even before you decide to get your used car shopping on financing take the above listed into your budget consideration. There are lesser financing options for used car over brand new vehicles for the very reason that the car condition must be in good quality. Local Banks, Credit unions and Dealership are the typical institutions that process used car loans. Local banks offer higher interest rates but surely accommodate used car loans. Dealership is without doubt offers car loans assistance for used vehicle since they get high profit from this kind of financing.

Being nineteen (and partner 21) at the time, and buying a car from a dealer, I thought we would be up against folk who treated us with little respect. This was absolutely not the case here! The first car we looked at on our hunt was the one we ended up buying. We've had it close to a year now, and put an additional 70,000km on it, completely trouble free. Thanks guys.read more

Was a little nervous about buying a used vehicle but these guys really made me feel welcome. Sold me a great car at a great price with some generous extras (warranty, RACV cover etc) and gave me a very reasonable price for my old one. Car had a little issue that needed fixing (it happens with second hands) but they were very nice and apologetic about it. Had the issue resolved promptly, no-questions-asked and now it runs wonderfully. Really exemplary after-sales service. Would go there again.read more

Bought a navara st-x d40 from these guys. Had some issues, but they help me out and I'm happy. I was probably a bit rude when the problems propped up, but they did the right thing and helped me get it all sorted. My nav now has a new clutch, and drives awesome. I appreciate AJ and Scott over at cool core radiators for doing such a great job. Also a special thanks to Paul at JZ motors for being a great guy and professional, even after I sent some rude messages. Thanks guys, I appreciate all the support.read more

Last Friday I turned up at JZ Motors. I was greeted straight away by Paul. I told him what I was looking for, he pointed me directly to what I had in mind. Details of the vehicles were explained in real person terms, so I understood he said. I test drove 3 Toyota’s and ended up choosing a Camry. Whilst we were in the I met with Jeff, the owner and the deal was done. I’m extremely happy with my new car and very impressed with the way I was treated. I would recommend JZ Motors to anyone. Thanks again Sandra F (a very happy customer)read more

If you want a typical cars salesman that will say anything to close the deal, then please keep walking. But if you can handle a dose of straight shooting, down to earth guys, then you might get a good laugh and a damn good car too. Well worth the extra drive to get there.read more

I bought my Defender 130 from Paul and Jeff...They were bombarded with calls from the "Defender Crazies" but I was the lucky one to get it. It's 15 years old Defender so has it's issues but they sorted out Fuel Pump, Doors, new brakes, full service, light switch and a number of small items before I took delivery! The doors were still an issue but they were happy to give it another go and it was sorted, no questions asked. I've since asked for their advice on a number of improvements I've wanted to make to it and they were great at putting me in touch with local shops and arranging good prices. Thanks Guys...Let me know first when you get your hands on another Defender and thanks for all the favours!read more

Highly recommend these guys. AJ was fantastic to deal with and very knowledgeable and professional. We went in to look at a 4x4 for towing, we drove one and then later drove home in it. 👌🏻 It has been an amazing car and beautiful to drive. Not what we had originally looked at but so glad we bought it. And the service doesn’t just stop once you drive out of the yard like some. AJ is always available on the phone and willing to assist where he can. Thanks AJ.read more
