Tips For Negotiating A Great Deal On Your New Car | Cash For Junk Cars Atlanta

We often view car dealerships and salesmen as the villain, but they are in business providing a valuable service. We just want their compensation to be fair and not absorbent.  Coming into the dealership prepared and confident can help you negotiate the best deal possible for your new car.

Secure Your Own Car Financing Although most dealerships will offer you financing, you may get a much better rate from your own bank or credit union and avoid dealer interest as well. 

If They Can’t Meet Your Terms, Leave Sometimes it can be awkward or uncomfortable to walk away from negotiations, but you have to do what is in your best interest. If you feel the terms you are asking for are reasonable, then leave the dealership if they refuse to meet them. 

Don’t  Negotiate Monthly Payments, Only Total Asking Price Many car dealerships will lure you in with low monthly payments. You only want to consider how much you will be paying in total for the car, including interest.  If you need to reduce your monthly payment you may just need to save up a bigger down payment. 
Get the Most For Your Trade In Completely finish the negotiations on your new car before you even mention that you have a trade in.  You don’t want them to give you minimal discounts on the new car in order for them to marginalize the amount they are paying you for your trade in. 

Buying a new car can be stressful, but being prepared can make the process much easier.  When you are ready to sell your old car, call us and get cash for your car today.

GM’s New Airbag Safety Feature

Nothing is more important than safety when it comes to your car. General Motors seems to really be taking that to heart.  GM’s latest advancement in airbag safety focuses on side impact collisions that are on the opposite side of the test dummy (which is usually ignored).  This new airbag has the form of a figure 8, inflates in less than a half a second and is placed in the center of the front passenger area. 

The airbag stays inflated several minutes and provides extra protection to prevent the driver from colliding with the center console and/or their passenger.  Even though this safety improvement will not increase GM’s safety star rating, they are doing it anyway.  It’s great to see a car company put safety first.

Learn even more about this new safety feature http://www.motortrend.com/features/auto_news/2011/1109_gm_unveils_new_safety_tech/#ixzz20t3akrIi.

In addition choosing a car with great safety features, be sure to do your part as well. Always buckle up, drive 100% sober and never drive while tired.  When you are ready to get rid of your old car, call us and get cash for your car.

Clear Those Cloudy Headlights | Cash For Junk Cars Atlanta

When our cars get older sometimes you may notice that your headlights begin to grow cloudy. Years of UV rays, heat and humidity can really take a toll on plastic. This not only looks unattractive, but impedes the effectiveness of your headlights as well.

Here are a few options for restoring your cloudy headlight lenses:

1. Buy a do it yourself cleansing kit. Ask the store employees at your local Auto Zone (or similar store) if there are any they recommend, and try it. This is a pretty inexpensive way of cleaning your headlight lenses.

2. Stop at your local mechanic and see if it is a service they offer. Many reputable body shops offer this service at a somewhat reasonable price. 

3. Replace your headlight lenses. This is the most expensive option and should be your last alternative. 

Stay safe while you are on the road. Having clear and bright headlights are both an aesthetic and safety issue. If you are considering selling your old car for cash, call us and we can explain the process to you and give you a free quote. We buy used and junk cars and offer same day pick up. Get cash for your car today.

Airbag Safety

Of course we all know that airbags are there for our safety in a car collision, but they can also harm us as well if we aren’t careful.  Here are a few tips that can help ensure your airbag safety:

1. Always Wear Your Seatbelt.  I know this seems like a no brainer, but there are still people that don’t wear their seatbelt 100% off the time. Even if you are just traveling a few blocks or miles, always put it on before pulling off.  Having your seatbelt on securely and properly can help to prevent you from colliding with your airbag in a crash. 

2. Maximize Your Distance From the Steering Wheel.  The further you are from the airbag, the less likely your are for it to harm your face or body during deployment. Don’t mistakenly think you can move back when a crash is taking place. Airbags deploy in less than 1 second. 

3. Always Seat Children In the Backseat.  Always have children younger than 13 sit in the back seat. Small children are much more vulnerable to injury, including from injury from an airbag, in a car accident when seated in the front.

Stay safe while you are on the road. Be sure that your airbag protects you and your passengers, rather than hurts you.  If you are considering selling your junk car for cash, call us and we can explain the process to you and give you a free quote. We buy used and junk cars. Get cash for your junk car today.
