J.D. Byrider

Recently, we noted that used car websites have seen an increase in traffic and observed that used cars are generally a better bargain for several reasons, including these:

•    Used cars don’t lose their value at the rapid rate new cars depreciate.
•    The price of used vehicles is generally lower than new car costs.
•    Insurance premiums are usually more affordable for used cars.

According to this recent article, the current economic downturn caused an uptick in used car sales for another reason: credit availability. As you’ve no doubt heard in the news, the present economic crisis was caused in part by widespread unavailability of credit in many market sectors. It’s much tougher these days to get traditional bank financing for a variety of necessary items, including homes and cars but J.D.Byrider is still financing people. This article features the story about our Las Vegas J.D. Byrider franchise and how their services are in high demand.

As the nation’s largest “buy here, pay here” franchise, J.D. Byrider offers financing when other car dealers don’t. We’re in business to provide good cars to people who need credit. That’s true when the economy is good as well as during challenging times. To apply for financing on line, please visit GoJDB.com.

Proper maintenance helps you keep your used car running strong. It’s also important for safety reasons. Here are some tips to help you keep used cars and trucks in great shape:

•    Change wiper blades regularly. Clear, unobstructed vision is a must when you’re on the road. Unfortunately, many people don’t think about their wiper blades until they’re needed, which usually isn’t the best time to change them. Take a look at the blades on your used car to make sure they’re not cracked or peeling. If they show signs of wear, changing them is simple and affordable.

•    Change your anti-freeze periodically. Anti-freeze not only helps keep the fluid in your cooling system from freezing or overheating, it also prevents corrosion. Specifications for how often you should change your anti-freeze vary, with some manufacturers recommending a change every 30,000 miles and others claiming their fluid lasts for 100,000 miles. However, it’s probably a good idea to change it at least once a year as part of a maintenance routine.

•    Check your used car’s tire alignment occasionally. Proper tire alignment helps ensure used cars and trucks handle well and that tires have maximum traction on the road. Tires that are aligned are less likely to wear unevenly, and since tires can be expensive, it may be worth getting your alignment checked when you replace your tires to maximize their utility.

•    Make sure tires are properly inflated. Keeping tires on used cars and trucks properly inflated is one of the easiest — and most important — safety and maintenance tasks. If your tire pressure is too low, too much tire surface contacts the road, which can lead to premature wear or overheating and tread separation — and a blow out. Overinflated tires don’t provide the right amount of traction, so you’ll notice reduced handling performance. Tire gauges for used cars and trucks are inexpensive and widely available. It pays to get one and check your tire pressure frequently.

Are you thinking about buying a used car this year? If so, you’re not alone. Even with the economic downturn, millions of Americans are looking for quality used cars.

In fact, a leading used car website reported receiving a record 15 million unique site visitors in January alone. One explanation for the upswing in interest may be that in tough economic times, consumers are more likely to consider buying a used car.

A good used car can result in thousands of dollars of savings, not only on the original purchase price of the vehicle, but on the cost of insurance over the life of the car. New cars depreciate in value immediately after you drive them off the lot, but quality used cars can hold value well if properly maintained.
