As a person who frequents online classifieds specializing in the sale of cars, I found it frustrating and a waste of time that many of the sites on the first page of Googles search results had infrequent ad postings. New ads did not show up for days in a row. I asked a more tech savvy friend of mine for help and he showed me how Alexa and Google Pagerank could help me out.

While you can save tons of money purchasing a used car, it’s still a scary proposition. Every year we hear stories about people purchasing used cars that have actually been in major collisions. To be honest, it’s easy for auto rebuilders to fix these vehicles up and put them back into the circulation. Unfortunately, we’re the ones that have to deal with the long term issues.

Although I use the internet throughout the day to update myself on news and to identify good deals on cars for sale, until recently, I was unaware of several tools that could actually help me make more informed searches and decisions. I found it annoying that several of the top results in Google were actually lower quality auto classifieds than those on the second and even third page with car advertisements not being posted for several days at stretch. But then I asked a friend of mine for help and soon discovered the wonders of using Alexa and Google Pagerank together.

A private party car loan is used to buy a vehicle from either an individual seller or from a dealership. This type of loan is sought by a used car buyer independent of the dealership. A private party loan is similar to a traditional auto loan you would get through a dealership but there are some differences.

Length Of The Loan

Dealership lenders typically offer loans of long terms, between 48 and 72 months. That is four to six years. On the other hand the typical private party auto loan is only 36 months.

Do you have a car buying strategy? Why would I ask that question? Because if you dont you could be getting taken for a ride. You can bet that the auto dealer will have his strategy planned, down to the last dot and comma. From the moment he sees you, he knows the path he wants to lead you down.

You’ve got to have your own strategy in mind. The salesman’s job is to hit his sales target. The more he can make on each deal, the better. Maybe by bumping you up to a more expensive model or some optional extras.

In the past, the horse trader was always regarded with deep suspicion. And just why was this?

Well, this is the guy who would buy a lame horse and know how to fix it …. temporarily. Then, he would sell it as a sound animal and take the money and disappear. The horse, poor thing, would soon become lame again and the buyer would be stuck with an unusable animal.

The inheritor of the horse traders reputation is, naturally, the Car Dealer

Why is it so difficult to compare the various contract hire deals on offer? One reason is that some contract hire brokers would rather you didn’t make a direct comparison, because their rates are rather expensive. In any event rates do vary from one lender to the next, because they tend to take differing views on the vehicle’s residual value (What they believe, or you could say hope, the vehicle is going to worth when you return it to them).
