If you’ve previously sold a vehicle, you may find that it’s tough to get much traction on your purchase. After all, you’re presumably competing with hundreds of similar offerings, and it’s unlikely that your vehicle has any notable feature that will separate it from the pack. However, one seller recently came up with a clever […]
Somewhere in the U.S. (let’s say Columbus) someone’s looking to buy a car. They’re researching makes and models, dissecting their budget, and doing all the things that consumers do in order to feel empowered. The result? They decide to look into pre-owned cars, both in terms of better fitting their budget, but also because it’s […]
The car-buying process can be grueling, but perhaps the worst part of the endeavor is the inevitable negotiations. After you’ve spent hours searching for a specific vehicle, you’ll then have to haggle with a dealership sales team. Even if you complete your purchase, there’s little chance you’ll feel good about the entire experience. Well, as […]
The Corvette has seemingly been around forever, as the vehicle was first introduced back in 1966 (in time for the 1967 model year). However, even die-hard fans remember that the vehicle took a brief break during the early 2000s, as the model wasn’t produced for nearly a decade. After having last produced a new model […]
As it edges nearer to the three-decade mark (in terms of its North American existence) the 2018 Hyundai Sonata carries very few reminders of the incarnation which first hit U.S. roads for the 1989 model year. But that’s not a bad thing, especially in light of the significant redesigns being enjoyed by both this year’s […]
So, you’re looking for your next vehicle… It doesn’t matter if you’re in Cincinnati or Seattle, Bakersfield or Boston, your search has to factor in countless considerations.

Unless you’re a staunch brand loyalist (which many of us are) there is an inherent challenge in researching Trucks For Sale in order to determine which one is best for you.

When looking for used cars, drivers have to be conscious of the drastic changes facing the used car market. While many of these are driven by the continued evolution of eCommerce platforms intended for the buying and selling of cars, some of the primary influences might be things that you’ve given fairly little thought to. […]
Raise your hand if you’ve ever purchased a vehicle, offering a trade-in vehicle to reduce the overall expense. If you have, you’re far from being ‘all alone’. In fact, it is estimated that a minimum of 47% of car buyers utilize a trade-in towards the purchase of a new vehicle. And while there are few […]
Would I drive a Ford Focus? No. Okay. But would I drive a Ford Focus if presented with the choice of a Ford Focus or any of its in-class competition? Also no. Then again, compact cars just aren’t my thing. This is especially true when speaking about a compact car which might be described as […]
It’s apparent that car companies aren’t completely accounting for their customers wants and needs, as their assortment of new “features” and “capabilities” are merely included to keep up with their competitors (instead of appealing to their consumers, specifically). Well, that certainly doesn’t apply to Chevy, as the brand is seemingly tuned into their customers’ various […]
If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a hundred times: the truck marketplace is not what it used to be. Whether that stands as a good thing, or a bad thing (or falls somewhere in between) depends on your personal preferences. You may certainly prefer traditional American-built offerings, but the fact that you’re comparing […]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’ve all heard it before. ‘Most cars depreciate 20-30% during the first two years of ownership. Why spend more, when you can let someone else take the hit by buying the same vehicle used?’ This tends to the be the go-to battle-cry of anyone trying to pitch the upside of used cars. […]
Perhaps one of the most overwhelming parts of the car-buying process is securing a loan from a lender. While you can read article upon article about how to handle the situation, you might still second guess your decision when you ultimately opt for a deal. While all of that “expert advice” is certainly helpful, one […]

In late July of this year, Ford celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Model TT, the very first Ford Truck to roll off the assembly line. Looking Back A true innovation, the Model TT marked the first […]
I’ve been commissioned to be a DJ at my soon-to-be nephew’s birthday party. Considering his infatuation with all things dump trucks, I decided to peruse the internet for some dump truck-related songs. Unfortunately, my options were severely limited. Fortunately, I came across some of the best/worst songs I’ve ever laid ears on. If you’ve been […]
Looking back at 2016, it was impressive to see that vehicle sales within the U.S. returned another banner year. With a jump of 17.5 million vehicles from 2015 sales, a total of 17.55 million new vehicles hit U.S. roads last year. While those are certainly impressive numbers, it’s been widely stated that such a steady […]
You really have to wonder what Nissan was thinking when it released the Nissan Rogue Sport. First of all, its moniker would lead one to believe that it’s the sport version of the extremely popular Nissan Rogue. Great if you love the Rogue, not so great if you don’t. However, the Nissan Rogue Sport actually […]
One of the most repeated, but accurate statements about today’s vehicle offerings is the mention of the Crossover / SUV vehicle class, and the extent to which it is over-saturated. Every manufacturer on the planet has something to offer, which lessens the likelihood of any one car standing out in comparison to another. Having grown […]
