Right off the bat, how you're looking to pay for your car may make the decision of buying new or used for you. If you are looking for a lease, buyers have no choice but to look at new vehicles. In terms of financing a deal, pre- owned vehicles traditionally have higher finance rates attached to them as opposed to their new counterparts.

Wild birds are harmlessly caught in nearly-invisible “mist nets” suspended between two poles, much in the same manner as a seine fishing net. After the captured birds are removed, a tiny metal…

Ad spots and big sticker rebates innundate radio, print and television last weeks of a month after being all but invisible the previous weeks. However, what most consumers don’t realize that there is a ve…
