When purchasing a pre-owned car, knowing what you are getting is something that is important to many buyers. Knowing the history of your pre-owned vehicle gives drivers peace of mind when making this new investment. Dealerships, like New Jersey State Auto Auction, offer services that give you a complete report on the vehicle you are purchasing.

 

Buyers deserve to know what they are about to spend their hard earned money on and are entitled to a history of the pre-owned vehicle. CARFAX reports are a great way to learn more about the car you are about to buy. Some dealerships offer free reports to customers, providing them a detailed report on their future investment. CARFAX Vehicle History Reports use the car’s vehicle identification number located on the car to gather the unique information and compile it into a thorough report. These reports can influence the final decision of any buyer. These reports can show things like inspection results, service records and accident history. Though every vehicle is thoroughly inspected, the CARFAX report is an added benefit to customers.

 

Knowing all the information you can about your future pre-owned vehicle can save you in the long run. Research like the CARFAX report is an great step. If you are interested in looking at a pre-owned vehicle, visit New Jersey State Auto Auction. For more information about our services and our current stock, check out our website!

Don’t Forget the Details

When buying a car, people can get distracted by the thrill of the purchase or excitement over certain features in their new car. It is important to remember that buying a car comes with lots of paperwork. It is helpful to know what you will need and what to look for when buying your vehicle.

Most dealerships take care of all of the paperwork for their customers, but it is always good to know what you should expect. Each state has different paperwork involved, so knowing what to look for, especially if you have recently moved or are buying a car out of state, is crucial. To purchase a vehicle in New Jersey, paperwork you should receive from the dealership will include a bill of sale, the title for the vehicle and an odometer reading statement. These documents will be needed for you to register your car at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission’s office. Once the car is registered and the fees are paid, you will get new license plates.

The most important document you should look for when purchasing your vehicle is the title. There will be sections that will need to be filled out by both you and the dealership. It will contain information like the price and date of sale, the odometer reading and all of your information.

Learning about the process of purchasing a car is helpful and can save you a lot of time. Dealerships, like New Jersey State Auto Auction, can answer any questions you might have when you are purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. If you are interested in learning more about the services at the New Jersey State Auto Auction, visit our offices or check us out online! We would love to help you find your next pre-owned vehicle.

Knowing Your Warranty

By

When looking to buy a pre-owned car, researching the vehicle you are interested will help you decide what is the best option for you. Knowing about the warranty of the car you want is extremely helpful and can save you a headache in the future. Most dealerships, like New Jersey State Auto Auction, will have information ready for you, but it is a good idea to do your homework before taking the next step.

 

Car manufacturers offer certain warranties on their new vehicles that tend to expire after a certain period of time or once the car reaches a certain mileage. These warranties are different for each vehicle and can protect new cars from costly problems. Many people believe that buying a used car voids these benefits, but that is untrue.

 

A certified pre-owned vehicle protection plan begins once the original warranty ends. Different brands have different benefits, but car manufacturers like Chevrolet extends their bumper-to-bumper warranty. Other companies like Honda, adds years to their powertrain protection. BMW goes as far as extending their new car warranty, offering owners roadside assistance and emergency services to their pre-owned car drivers. Knowing what warranty and options you have are important and can influence your decision when purchasing your new pre-owned car.

 

At New Jersey State Auto Auction, we can help you look at your options and determine the best fit for you. Doing your research and knowing what you want before you look is very important and will make the buying process much easier. If you are ready to start looking for your next car, visit New Jersey State Auto Auction to view everything we have to offer.

If you’ve set a budget of $25,000 or less, there are some great vehicles that fit your budget, according to Autotrader.com.  Let’s take a look at some of theme:

  3. 2013 Dodge Dart—Yes, it’s a subcompact, but the backseat can handle two adults comfortably. And with an Alfa Romeo-derived suspension, it’s bellissima at less than $16K.
  4. 2013 Fiat 500—You’ll get mucho fun for about $16K, plus 31 mph city/40 mph hwy with the manual. You also get a peppy standard 1.4-liter MultiAir engine.

Buying a Pre-Owned Vehicle with Peace of Mind

By

Does the idea of buying a pre-owned vehicle sound good to you? After all, you don’t end up with that instant depreciation that you do when you buy a new car. And, with so many Americans leasing vehicles, there are more quality pre-owned vehicles on the market than ever.

But how can you be sure you’re buying a great pre-owned vehicle?  Actually, there are several ways you can be sure.

  1. Buy from a reputable dealer, instead of an individual. Let’s face it.  With social media sites like Yelp out there, if a business isn’t reputable, it’s easy to find out about it. Look for a dealer who has been in business for a long time. Common sense tells you, a business can’t be around for long, if they don’t treat customers right.
  2. Make sure you get a warranty–and one that lasts longer than a week. At New Jersey State Auto, we provide a three month/5,000 mile warranty with every vehicle–plus you get Roadside Assistance, too.
  3. Check out the CarFax report. This report will tell you how many owners the vehicle has had, and if there is clear title.  In addition, you’ll know what kinds of accident the vehicle has been involved in, and you can see if the appropriate repairs have been performed. Plus, all vehicles checked with carFax have the CarFax BuyBack Guarantee at New Jersey State Auto.
  4. Pay for a Mechanic Inspection before you buy. While it will cost you a little money, it will provide you with great peace of mind. With a mechanic inspection, you’ll learn if the right kinds of replacement parts have been used, and if major repairs will be needed in the near future.
  5. Look beyond the exterior. Sure, it might look like new on the outside, but look under the hood, too.  If you see rust, it probably hasn’t been maintained well.

At New Jersey State Auto, we’re here to help you find the right vehicle at the right price.  We’ll answer all of your questions, so you feel confident with your purchase.

2017 Audi A3 Earns High Safety Rating

By

NJSAA 4 shutterstock_307390028

The 2017 Audi A3 received a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The 2017 Audi S3 also received top marks from the organization. Both vehicles will be on the market beginning October 2017. This spectacular safety rating applies to each edition of the vehicles, both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive. Both high scores in the extensive testing performed. These tests include a front crash test, side crash test and a rollover crash test. These assessments allow the  National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to properly administer the most accurate score possible.

The 2017 Audi A3 and the 2017 S3 have been updated with several safety features that come standard in each model. One of the features included is a radar-based system that warns drivers of potential forward collisions. This system also is equipped with automatic braking.

The 2017 Audi A3 also has standard antilock brakes, a rearview camera, traction control and stability control. There is also a new feature called Audi Pre Sense Basic. This feature automatically tightens seatbelts and closes windows if it senses a potential frontal crash. Another option available on specific models is active lane keeping assist. This system alerts drivers if they begin to stray from their lane if they are traveling over 40 mph. Numerous other safety options are available on the Audi A3.

As Audi continues to increase the safety with the addition of new technology to their new vehicles, you can expect the same level of safety and quality engineering from a pre-owned Audi. To view a wide selection of pre-owned models, visit New Jersey State Auto Auction.

The Importance Of Keeping Your Vehicle Clean

Let’s face it – cars aren’t cheap. When you buy a new car you have to buy all the fancy interior accessories to vamp it up, get insurance for your car, etc. and all these expenses are apart from the main cost of the car. So if you already have a car that hasn’t done too many miles and is still in good working condition there are several ways to make your old and run down car look brand new with a few tips and tricks.

Get everything cleaned – inside and out!

For some of us, our car becomes our second home and we tend to hoard just about anything and everything in it. From books to clothes to important papers from the office, our car becomes a dumping ground for all our junk. Set aside an entire day or week if you have to and remove everything from your car that has no business being there. Take your car to the professional cleaners or a good car wash and have it scrubbed down thoroughly. Or you could buy the necessary cleaning agents and detergents and clean your car yourself and save money.

Shampoo the seats and carpet thoroughly, clean out the trunk and remove the spare tire to get in there as much as possible to get all the dirt and crap out. Remove the seat cushions and get inside every nook and cranny of your car upholstery. You can even remove the front seats and use a vacuum cleaner. Clean the engine thoroughly and don’t forget the underneath of your car. If you’re cleaning your car after a really long time, then make sure to give it a 100 percent.

The Little Details That Keep An Old Vehicle In Great Shape

By
Posted in Uncategorized

http://www.autogaleria.hu -

Instead of going out and buying a new car try out some easy tips and tricks to transform your old car and make it look brand new by spending just a little money.

Replace the rubber

The seal of your car doors against the rubber trim is sensitive to rips and tears as time goes by. These rips or tears can cause air gaps that will create a howling noise from the wind outside while driving. These tears can also allow heat to escape when it’s cool outside and vice versa, i.e. – allow cool air to escape when it’s hot outside. These gaps or tears can also allow water to leak in from outside when it’s raining.

It will take a lot of time, patience and expertise to replace these rubber trims or strips of the car doors as well as a knack with glues and adhesives. The rubber strips are not expensive and are easily available in any car store. You can get help installing the new rubber strips which will instantly make your car much quieter and noise free. However, you don’t have to necessarily replace the rubber seals of the car doors if they are still in usable and decent shape. But if they seem ragged or brittle to you then don’t think twice to replace them with new ones.

If you’re changing your car door rubber seals then you might also want to change the rubber wiper blades on your windshield and deal with the rainy season appropriately.

If you are looking to buy a used car, walk in to New Jersey State Auto Auction today.

Simple Ways To Keep Your Old Vehicle Running Like It Is Still New

By
Posted in Uncategorized

http://www.autogaleria.hu -

Going out and buying a brand new car might not be the best idea especially when you have other loans to pay off and income is tight. Also, there are lots of ways to make your old car look new without spending a huge amount of money. All you need to have is a car in good working condition that just needs a little makeover and touching up.

The headlamps

Cars that are a few decades old are built with headlamps that have plastic composites that tend to become dull and deteriorated over time and may need to be replaced. The headlamps might develop a weathered look which will automatically make your car look years older than it actually is. There are headlamps available for 25 to 30 dollars that are really easy to install and use. Replacing an old and dull headlamp with a new one can make your car look newer and brighter and can help improve illumination.

The air conditioner

Just like your air conditioner at home, the AC in your car can have buildups of mildew, mold, and bacteria that can clog the AC vents and decrease the output of cold air. To clean out your AC first make sure that the air entering your AC isn’t passing through dust, leaves and other grime that might be accumulated in the AC passageways. After this, you can clean your AC filters or change the filter systems. Finish off with some air-conditioning spray or deodorizer and your car will look and smell as good as new!
