Lower the cost of your car!

If you are like most American’s, then you own a car to commute to and from work, to friends and family. To the grocery store and anywhere else you may need to travel. Did you know the average person spends over $500,000 on vehicles and vehicle related maintenance over the course of their life time? I know, I was shocked too!

Unfortunately, this is not an expense that many of us can live without. So rather live without, we are forced to find ways to save money.

  • You can make sure you pick something that is small and efficient when purchasing a car. This will ensure the best gas mileage and usually the best price on over all cost.
  • Another thing you can do, is to keep your car for as long as possible while still being able to make money on resale. Not having to buy a new vehicle every couple of years will really help you cut down the cost of own your own vehicle.
  • Make sure you keep you car running the best it possible can! This means getting regular oil changes and routine maintenance when needed. These are things you cannot skip if you want your car to have a long life.
  • Keep you air filters cleaned out on a regular basis as well. A dirty filter will only drain the engine and cause your car to become sluggish and run poorly.
  • Another thing you’ll want to make sure you do is take proper care of your tires. Keeping them at the right tire pressure will give them the longer life possible. Also, make sure to have your tires balanced and rotated. This will add thousands of miles to the life of your tires. It keep the wear and tear equally distributed through the life of the tires.
  • And last, but certainly not least, you can save money by paying attention to your auto insurance. Start by choosing the least expensive policy that still meets the needs of your life. Next, go over any discounts you may get for membership in stuff, or possibly safety features. Be smart, don’t speed. If you want your insurance to stay down, then you have to make sure you don’t get any tickets! You can also combine home owner’s insurance with auto insurance and you will get a bundle discount most of the time.
