Buying a brand new or secondhand car

What’s the same and differance of buying a new car and used car.

In fact, I flatly don’t believe it. New car pros; you are the first owner best warranty likely the fewest problems cons; high initial depreciation high cost used car pros; lower price initially more room to bargain lower depreciation cons; more problems with used cars you don’t know the service history. I am skeptical about the idea that new cars have fewer problems than used ones. However, the new ones are under warranty, so the dealer can monkey around with it a lot and you might not have to pay for it. Give me a car with the bugs worked out any day.

I definitely want a car, not a van or SUV. What cars are best for really tall people? I am getting ready to buy a car and am wondering if anyone knows the best cars for tall people; I am 6’8″

I would say move south (if you aren’t already south) and get a convertible. Question is, do you need a back seat? If not, then pretty much any 4-door car will be okay. I have two friends, one 6’4″ and one 6’6″ and they drive a lancer and a civic, respectively. But nobody can sit behind the driver because they’ve pretty much eaten up all the space.

So I’m writing this story and I need a car name and I suck at cars so can you help me? My main character is a teenage girl (17 years old ) , she is not very rich so she owns this old yet great car.

Old Mercedes SL Series One of those 1980’s Cadillac convertibles A woody Jeep Grand Wagoneer An old VW Beetle An old VW Karmann Ghia An old VW Microbus Old 1980’s Volvo 240 “brick” Just a few old and inexpensive, yet cool cars I know of. My mums first car haha Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra, Ford Focus this is the old civic. Check out these new cars, too.

What are some fun cars to own/drive that are fuel efficient? I am aware of the Civic Si and the Sentra SE-R, but do any of you have any other vehicles in mind? Let me know about your experiences.

Mazda Miata, Toyota Corolla, Chevy Sprint Turbo (that’s from the 80s) – there’s lots of others. I used to have huge fun in a Toyota MR2 – a berserker four-wheel motorcycle. 1985 Honda Prelude/1996 Honda Prelude with the manual transmition. Shift points at 7200 rpm, a happy-go-lucky little four-banger engine, a telepathic tranny and featherweight clutch, and it got all of 35 mpg even with me driving like a complete gokart fool.

Do you have to pay taxes on a car if your switching cars with a friend and only have to get the title switched? I am trading my car for my friends car and was wondering if when I go and get the title and registration switched if I would have to pay taxes on it.

The vehicle switch is not the same as gifting a vehicle. Gifting is only permitted with immediate family. Plan on paying taxes. I say yes because all DMVs are greedy. Try to put as a gift. But they still want a minimum tax even when it is old.

First Time Driving for a Distance

Well I am just starting driving and I can drive fine just my one problem is turning I cant let the wheel spin back to me it just doesnt feel right like ill make the left turn and then I wont let the wheel spin back my hands try and take over.

One hand does the turning the one one slips over the wheel to stop the momentum when you have completed the turn. Are you on manual or power steering? Dont let it spin back because you will not be in control, use the hand over hand method and that will work better. Use the new Toyota 2012 models. They can get you places!

My finace’ won’t be home tonight becuase we are going camping this weekend and hes going a day eariler to set up camp. Can you give me your best tips for feeling safer driving in the dark? I have to drive today at night for the first time in a while.

Lol. Cars have headlights for that reason. Oh this is no biggie! all u have to do is feel more confident and act like you are driving in the daytime. And u can usually have your favorite music on so that u feel relaxed. Or have some1 in the car with u to talk to.

Anyone got any driving stories? X. I have my first driving lesson tomorrow, any tips? Im bricking it loll. For Toyota SUV reviews, click here.

When you come to an intersection,, don’t look out the corner of your eye to the left, or he will think you didn’t look to the left. Stop and look at each stop sign. Go ahead and crank your head to the left (and right) or else he may write you up for not looking. Your instructor is always going to be annoying. Stay 5 under the speed limit.Idle at every stop sign.Stay 600 feet back when you should stay 500 feet back. It’s pretty easy to pass- unless you crash the car or do something completely ridiculous; other than that, you should be fine 🙂 Good luck!

Leadership and Insurance Matters

What are the leadership skills required for getting promoted as supervisor of a group of employees? I am working in a firm for a few years. What are the leadership skills required? Now I am looking forward for getting promoted as Supervisor.

-The ability to elicit a high level of performance from a diverse group of people. -The ability to get work done through others on time, in budget -The ability to respond to change and stay calm in a crisis -The ability to prioritize and manage time effectively -The ability to help set goals for your department and your employees as well as for yourself. -The ability to delegate effectively while still maintaining a top-level view of projects and programs that need to be accomplished.

Leadership is a great concept and with more and more youth and young adults exploring the entrepreneurship path, we’re sure to see a surge of young leaders out there. The qualities of a good leader should be taught to them. Transformational Leadership is also one of the concepts they should practice.

And I got it! but I don’t know what it is? Also my friend got this class called MS  Publications? We have no idea what that is too. What does the class leadership mean in Middle School? I just entered a certain grade in middle school and for my elective I chose leadership.

Class leadership in middle school, or high school for that matter, is usually based on nothing more or less than social “popularity.” Class leaders are chosen because their peers consider them to be “cool” and for no other reason. I believe it will teach you to be leaders in different situations in both personal and professional life. It will help you how to become a leader, how to stay a leader and teach others how to lead. MS Publications is working with computers and different applications that are used.

First, make sure you’re right. Able to reduce the gap between the ethics and morals we preach and actions we do – able to get up time and time again to reach a goal – providing the shining example to follow. Then go ahead. –David Crockett. If you’re ridin’ at the head of the herd, take a look back every now and then and make sure it’s still there. –Will Rogers You can and should delegate authority, but not responsibility. Never ask a subordinate to do something you wouldn’t do yourself.

I need to order two books by Kenneth Leithwood. 1. I neeed to buy the book by Kenneth Leithwood- The Move Toward Transformational Leadership?Where to go? I went to Amazon.Com, but it was not listed.

If you’ve found them elsewhere, and you know they are still in print, then try getting your local bookshop to order them for you. If they’re not in print any more, you could do any or all of the following: try the library – OK, that doesn’t give you ownership or quantity; write to the publisher and ask them to put you in touch with the author; track down the author – especially if he has a website – and ask if he’s got some copies himself. (It helps if you can give them the ISBN number as well)

Which active player has the best leadership traits and skills? Hmmm. Is Derek Jeter the only player out there that can be considered a leader? If that is the case, that is sad.

Considering his career success both as a position player, offensive player and team success, there is really only one that stands out above everyone else, Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter. Period. Gee this is a hard one.I’m gonna take a wild stab here and say Derek Jeter. I knwo I’m really goin out on a limb here. EDIT: No, but you said “best'”. “Best” means one, and ONLY one. The one being Derek Jeter. Now if you said “some of” I would’ve thrown some other names out.

Do you think that their roles changed throughout the movie? No negative answers please! Leadership in Toy Story? I need your opinions for a group project. In what ways do you feel that Buzz or Woody are great leaders? Feel free to name specific scenes or quotes.

Woody was trusted by the other toys. He knew what he was doing (or at least made it seem like he did). Buzz had the typical “Army General” personality to the other toys. The other toys knew his personality and knew Woody had their best interests in mind, and that of Andy as well.

How do I deal with someone that makes fun of me and undermines my leadership? I’m a leader in my schools little marching band, and there is a kid in my section who constantly undermines my leadership. I’m really passionate about music, and I’m willing to make fun of a myself a bit; I know who I am and am very self confident (but not to the measure of being arrogant)

Take him aside and explain your feelings. If he blows you off and the behavior continues go to the band director or teacher or whoever and explain your feelings. Don’t take crap from anyone. Don’t be afraid to put your foot down, and if you have to find a way to boot him from band.

Questions Answered About Compact SUV

Need tips on how to sell my SUV given gas prices? I have a Chevy Blazer 6 Cyl 4WD for sale It has very low mileage I have advertised on Cars.Com and Craigslist to no avail,. It is a nice car.

My ’00 blazer got about 20mpg the way I drove it, so really not so bad in the small/mid sized SUV segment. The down side about the blazer for me was its really awful safety record (it tends to flip over in accidents). Like selling any car. Clean and wax it to the max. No one is buying large gas-guzzling cars right now.

Tips for improving gas mileage, other than the obvious? I drive a ’99 Jeep Grand Cherokee (I6), and yes, I do need the SUV, I live up in the sticks with lots of snow, so economy is out of the question.

Sounds like you have done all you can with that kind of mileage, the air pressure is one of the most critical things , just mentioning that for others reading this post. First is the cold air intake, Good high flow exhaust system. There are a few thing yo can do that improves your mileage. A throttle body spacer, a multi-spark spark plugs.

Why is it that so many middle-aged ladies like driving big SUVs? What’s wrong with a fuel-efficient and reliable, fun to drive Toyota Corolla? Hey, I’d drive a Corolla too – it’s not like I’m saying leave SUVs for only men or anything like that, but I think SUVs waste too much gas in general.

How Would You Use Your Financial Knowledge

Just the words “Financial IQ” scare some people into fits of rage throughout the day, and cold sweats at night. Although it may seem to be much easier to encounter the monster under your mattress, your financial IQ will not be as terrifying as you might anticipate.

Financial IQ simply refers to your understanding of how your personal finance functions. Let’s take a look at the basics of monetary understanding and the way to overcome the fear of Financial IQ.

Financial IQ Basics

Financial IQ seems to be difficult at 1st look. But after you burrow deeper, you will come to understand that it is about having a superb understanding of how money is managed; how it comes in, and the way it goes out; the way cash enters your pocket and the way fees go out. If you question 30 different people to describe financial IQ, you’d understandably get at least 30 different answers. Some people aren’t precisely confident what makes up financial IQ, so we just ramble around until we stumble on something semi-intelligent.

In essence, financial IQ implies figuring out how you make money, how you deal with money, how you come up with a spending budget, and utilize any extra in the end.|At its simplest form, financial IQ is nothing more than the basics of making your cash, protecting what you have produced, budgeting, and leveraging the surplus at the end. It is the earnings, out-go, and what is left. That is it! Given this information, I’m sure that you can be positive now and your fear is starting to ebb away. What you should understand now is how financial IQ revolves around earning, budgeting, and investing effectively.

Removing Doubts

Said Dale Carnegie; “Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

What an awesome guidance from an awesome financial icon in the past Carnegie points out that, so that you can overcome the dread of learning finances, you ought to dive head-first into the world of finance as if it were a bowl of jello.

New reports developed in the education industry ascertained that people learn primarily in three approaches–seeing, hearing and doing! Several of us learn best by reading, others by listening and discussing, and the remainder of us learn by getting away from our keister and leaping in to figure it out as we go.

There are a couple of areas to get involved with to better your comprehension of financial IQ; read the business section of the paper, read the stock reports, pay attention to financial podcasts and news reports, or begin doing a little trading to see what transpires when you get your feet wet.

What Comes Next?

Get involved. Ask yourself one question – is doing what you are doing educating you anything more about financial IQ? If it is, then keep up the study, but if your reply is negative, you might want to reconsider your plan of action.

Seek out a friend, or maybe a mentor with whom you can discuss your finances. Ask questions and respond to questions, too. What’s the worst that could happen?

Dale Carnegie was absolutely right. If you desire to defeat your fear of finances, do not sit at home. Get out into the world where finances don’t take a break. Immerse yourself in the world of finances and overcome your fear; it may just end up being your favorite hobby. And it may even improve your wallet either.

Get The Best Out Of Auto Insurance Companies

By Jim Hungelman

If you think that by merely getting an auto insurance scheme all your car problems would end, think again. It is true that an auto insurance get you the basic safety measure that is demanded by the law as well as by the high speed lanes where you rev past in your much vaunted car. But any given insurance company might not give you the best procedures for filing insurance claims or it might not cover your losses, financial and medical, as thoroughly as you would have expected. I say this because there is no dearth of auto insurance companies in the market. In fact it is quite contrary, which only makes your job all the more difficult in choosing the right auto insurance plan for your car.

Here’s an interesting car insurance commercial from 21st Century. I wonder if they really live up to their promise.

The Best Way of Finding Cheap Car Insurance Online

By Matt Murpho

The Internet has revolutionized the way we shop. A shocking percentage of customers in traditional, brick and mortar stores do their research online before they walk into a shop. Meanwhile, more and more people are buying everything from books to boats via the Internet.

The trend toward online shopping extends well past physical goods to services and other products. Car insurance is a perfect example. Many people are looking for cheap car insurance online instead of calling or visiting an insurance agency in person.

Unfortunately, it’s easier to buy the latest best-seller at Amazon.com than it is to find a good deal on car insurance on the Internet. That’s not because good deals aren’t available (they are). It’s because digging them up requires some extra effort.

Many people abandon hope after briefly searching for online car insurance. Instead of finding solid information and actual quotes from respected insurers, they find themselves visiting a series of websites that seem to be nothing more than virtual billboards featuring an endless stream of advertisements. When they do find an actual insurance site, they may be frustrated to learn that they’ll need to wait for a company representative to telephone them after completing lengthy questionnaires.

How can one separate the wheat from the chaff? What is the best way of finding cheap car insurance online?

First, consider visiting the actual websites of insurers instead of all-in-one sites as you begin your search. While some insurers are less likely than others to provide accurate quotes or to let you purchase your policy via the ‘Net, these sites generally allow you to avoid inaccurate information and excess advertising. Plus, some providers will allow you to purchase your policy online without forcing you to jump through numerous hoops.

Second, understand that you can only get an accurate car insurance quotation if you provide a great deal of information. Insurance premiums are based on a number of variables and the insurers ask so many questions in an effort to pinpoint your actual insurance costs. You can make finding online insurance easier, but you can’t completely transform the process. You won’t be able to get accurate quotations or a policy after providing only a few vague details.

Third, learn to recognize the difference between websites that exist to provide you with quality information and those that are more concerned with convincing you to click on an advertisement. Insurance is a massive industry and many websites exist merely as advertising vehicles. Spend time only with those sites that appear to have legitimate affiliations and that clearly indicate their ability to provide you with the information you need.

The Internet is a tremendous tool in the search for cheap car insurance. If you use the web correctly, you can increase your awareness of insurance options and locate bargain prices from the comfort of your desk chair. Start with recognized websites, understand what insurance purchases really require and learn to recognize helpful sites from those that offer you very little. Those three actions will definitely help you find cheap car insurance online.
