Shopping for and buying a car takes a lot of research and effort to make sure you get what you need––a reliable vehicle at a fair price. Selling a car that you currently have requires just as much work, though the things you need to focus on and consider can be quite different. The first […]
You have a lot on your mind while shopping for a car: looking at different brands, considering a variety of models, and trying to figure out every last detail and feature you’ll want to enjoy for the next five or ten years. Let me put one more thing on your plate (I know, I’m generous): […]

[…]

A solid, reliable car can be a long-term commitment, but even the most well-built vehicle can’t last forever. As cars age, the wear and tear of regular use can cause all kinds of problems.

Buying and selling cars online used to be pretty rare. Since each individual vehicle has its own history, damage, and possibly even aftermarket customizations, it makes sense that these transactions would occur largely in-person, even as so many other things moved online. But if you type “sell my car” into a search engine today, it’s […]
Accidentally underpricing an old blender or box fan that you’re trying to sell won’t make or break your bank account.

If you’re looking to sell your car and you want to boost its value, then you might be tempted to assume that anything you add to your vehicle will add to what it’s worth. In reality, however, that’s simply not the case. Most of the time, mods you add won’t really make your vehicle worth […]
There was a time when you wanted to sell a vehicle, you had to pay for a classified ad in a newspaper or other physical publication. It might not have been the most ideal way to sell a car, but there were few options at the time. A lot has changed over the years that […]
You’ve finally reached the tipping point with your vehicle, the time in every car’s life when the repairs required aren’t justified.
