A question that has been plaguing car owners since the invention of the automobile is when to repair the car you own and when to get a new car. It isn’t an easy question to answer, but a recent article from the Christian Science Monitor attempted to shed some light on the subject.
Some people would argue that you could keep repairing a car over and over again until the wheels fall off and could still save money over buying a new car. Those people are wrong, and even if you could find a way to save some money with numerous repairs, all you are doing is delaying the inevitable. By the time you finally trade in, the car you are trading in won’t be worth nearly as much, and you will have sunk hundreds or thousands of dollars into a car that doesn’t properly run.
Christian Science Monitor also points out that having an unreliable car could cause other problems. What if your car breaks down on the way to work? Can you get to work by public transit until you are able to get a new car? There is a good reason why car ownership has been strongly tied to employment status. Car owners don’t have to rely on public transit, so they have more employment options available to them, and they are more likely to be reliable and prompt.

As cabin fever sets in, drivers are itching for spring and the freedom of the open road. For many drivers, the perfect car for a joy ride is a convertible, and now during the winter months, dealerships want to give car shoppers an incentive to spring for their dream convertible.

Distracted driving is a huge problem in this country. A driving distraction used to be squirming kids fighting over a Game Boy in the backseat, and now drivers have to block out smart phones, music, and even some of the technology built into the car like GPS and internet access. Every car company has an idea about how to curb distracted driving from hands-free calling to 
2012 was an amazing year for the auto industry. Sales were so strong in 2012 that it would be completely understandable if the industry saw a slight dip in the beginning of 2013. To combat any drop off in sales, they are offering some of the 
At the Approved Loan Store, we work with people every day who have good credit, bad credit, and no credit alike. We understand that there are many people who have a low credit score but that they might have nothing to do with it. They could have been a victim of identity theft or maybe they agreed to co-sign on a loan and the other person skipped out on their payments. We thought we had heard it all until this story from the
