Used Cars For Sale

I am a shopoholic. I love shopping for anything and everything. I do not have to buy anything to have a great shopping trip. I am content looking. I enjoy grocery shopping as well as clothes and shoe shopping. There have been times in my life where I have wished that I could be a professional shopper. I think this is something that I will look into doing for a part-time retirement job. It would be fun to go get groceries for people that cannot get out, or to take them shopping if they do not have transportation. Even though I love to shop there is one thing I cannot stand to do, look for a used car. When it comes to used cars for sale I want nothing to do with shopping. I have had a few bad experiences in buying used cars for sale and since that time I have hated shopping for previously owned cars. I put a great deal of miles on my vehicles so unfortunately I need to purchase cars more often than I would like. Most times I have my husband look with so that I am getting sound advice about a car. I was in the market for another vehicle and I was complaining about having to look at used cars for sale. One of my co-workers told me about looking up previously owned vehicles on the internet. My first response was that I did not want to drive all over the place finding a car. He told me that this was not necessary. You can go on several different used car sites and type in what you are looking for and what area you are willing to travel to find it. A list of used cars for sale will pop up for that area. I thought this sounded too good to be true. I went on one of the sites. I filled in the boxes that asked what price range I was interested in, what make and model and how many miles on the vehicle. I could be as general or specific as I wanted to be. I was then asked to type in my zip code and what mile radius I was willing to travel from that zip code. I entered all the information and found three cars in the area that met the criteria that I entered. One was for sale by owner and the other two were at dealerships. I called the private party to make arrangements to see the car. My husband and I went and looked at the cars that were at the dealerships. We then went and looked at the car from the private party. The individual that had the car had kept great maintenance logs and the car had very low miles on it. There was a small dent in the back fender; otherwise the car was in great shape. We bought the car and made arrangements to switch over the title the next day. It was the smoothest process I had ever been involved in when purchasing a vehicle.

Bit of History

Billboards, billboards, drink this, eat that, use all manner of things, everyone, the best, the cheapest, the purest and most satisfying of all their available counterparts. Red lights flicker on every horizon, airplanes beware; cars flash by, more lights. Workers repair the gas main. Signs, signs, lights, lights, streets, streets.

—Neal Cassady (1926–1968)
