Car Sense

There are colleges and universities all over the country, but the one thing that all college students can relate with, no matter where they are, is being smart and trying to save money. One thing that college students need to be knowledgeable about is looking for and buying used cars. Brand new cars are shiny but they are also expensive and a bad investment on a young person. A new car loses half its value as soon as you leave the lot. So it is much smarter to go with something that is used and wont decrease in value as soon as you buy it. 

There are many things that someone needs to look into when they are looking for a used car. The most important thing that you need to look into is the Kelly Blue Book value. Kelly Blue Book is a website that will tell you the value of any vehicle out there. All you need to know is some basic information about the vehicle. Information such as mileage, year and condition. If the KBB value says a car is worth $5,000 dont accept a price that is over, especially if its a significant amount. Some car owners have an emotional attachment to their vehicles and think that it is worth much more than it essentially is. Always consult KBB before buying a car.
