Here’s How To Improve Your Credit Score

Mon ,18/04/2011

Your credit score influences many areas of your life. A prospective employer will check your credit when considering you for employment. Your insurance agent might check your credit when deciding to insure your car or home. Your lender, whether for a home loan or other consumer debt, will check your credit score when making a determination.

Your credit report shows the history of your borrowing activities they have been reported to the credit reporting bureaus — TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax — by lenders, court records and others at a point in time. The credit score helps credit grantors quickly evaluate this information because it gives a snapshot of your payment history.

Thousands of credit grantors send updates to the bureaus usually once a month. These updates include balances, monthly payment amounts and whether there have been late payments.

This credit score will change as the information reported to the bureaus changes. For example, if your credit report is obtained at a time when your credit card balances are low and your credit is excellent, your credit scores can be high. Meanwhile, you take a vacation and use your credit cards to pay for it. These balances will be reported the following month. If the lender pulls the credit report the next month and it shows much higher balances on your credit cards, your credit score likely will be lower than the previous month. This can be frustrating because your payment history habits probably will not have changed, and you might pay off your credit card balances every month regardless of how high they are.

How to Find the Right Used Car for Your Needs

Thu ,10/03/2011

Whenever it comes time to buy a new used car in Ottawa or to make any significant purchase, it’s important to make sure that you are making the best decision for your long term and short term needs. We are dedicated to helping our customers find the right used cars and arrange for the best financing options to suit their needs and lifestyles. If you’re ready to buy a used car, here are a few things that we think you should think about before you decide to buy:

Determine what you want

Whenever you buy a new or used car in Rockland, it’s important to think about what you want from that car. One of the best ways to determine what you want is to take a look at what options and features are available for the type of used car that you think you want to buy. With the technological advances that have come about in recent years, you may be surprised by just how many features and options come standard or are amazingly affordable on used cars these days. Come on down to test drive used cars or to walk through our lot with a helpful dealer today.

Determine needs

Even if you know exactly what you want from your used car, you might need to narrow that list down to those things that you actually need. Many people approach the used car buying process knowing that they need a reliable and safe used car that will last for years to come. However, there might be other needs that are unique to your lifestyle or situation. For example, if you have children, you may need a used car that is large enough to accommodate them all. You may want a used car with high clearance if you plan to go off-roading in it. Or if you plan to haul large items, such as a boat or an RV, you may need a used car with plenty of towing capacity.

Evaluate budget

It’s important that you evaluate your budget from a practical perspective. For example, after you have paid for your basic necessities each month, you may determine that you have an extra $1,000 to spend on a car payment. However, be sure that you are also setting aside enough money each month to be flexible. After all, the car payment will seem like an unwanted burden if it means that you can’t go shopping, go out to eat, take small vacations, or set aside money to save. Therefore, be practical with your budget.

3 Ways Buying Used Cars from Us Can Save You Money

Tue ,08/02/2011

When you buy a used car in Ottawa, chances are good that you are looking for the best rate on the used car. What’s more: you may also be looking for ways to save even more money once you actually own the used car. Here are a few ways to save money when you buy a used car that you may enjoy:

Lower taxes and insurance

When you buy a used car in Kanata, you will have lower taxes and insurance than you would have if you were to buy a new car. Therefore, when you buy a used car, your insurance and taxes will cost less for the life of the car. Depending on where you live and your driving record, this can save you a significant amount of money over the life of the car for years to come.

Special rates

When you work with our dealership to buy your used car, you can not only get amazing rates on your used car purchase, but we also are always on the lookout for programs that may help our customers to save even more money. These special programs may help to lower your annual interest rate on a car loan or they may help to offer cash back on your used car when you buy it from us. Remember: you can also save money when you buy a used car from us if you trade in a vehicle that you currently own.

Lower repair costs

Often, customers that need to make repairs on older model cars can get better repair and service rates. This is because you can often find the materials you’re looking for at better rates from a used car. For example, if you need to repair the hood of your used car because you have scratched it, you can often find a used car hood that matches your car’s color. The cost of a used hood is generally cheaper than the cost of a new hood.

We are always looking for new ways to help our customers get the best possible financial arrangements that will make it easy for them to buy the right used cars in Ottawa for their needs. If you are looking for ways to save money by buying a used car, take time to look over the used cars in our inventory and get in touch with Import Motors at www.autoloanottawa.com  to find out more about our used car financing programs.

Why Buying a Used Car is Such a Smart Decision

Wed ,21/07/2010

Many people know that there are some tricks to help save money. You may use coupons when you shop. You may cut off the lights when you’re not at home. And you may buy a used car in Ottawa to help save money. Whether you’re saving money to help build your wealth or simply to minimize your monthly payments, buying a used car is one of the wisest financial decisions you can make.

Buying a used car may not only help you save money up front, but it may also help to cut dollars down the road. Here are a few ways that saving money can help you save big bucks each month or year.

Value Depreciation

The moment you drive a new car off the lot, the value of the car decreases significantly. New cars have a higher sticker price simply because they are new. Being new, the retain all of their original warranties, even if they have been dealer model cars and have several thousand miles on them as a result of the test drives they’ve undergone. In many cases, you’ll pay more money for a new car simply for the fact that it can be called a “new” car and you can be the first owner of the car.

However, when you drive a used car in Ottawa off of a dealer’s lot, the used car does not decrease as significantly in value.  The car has already been owned, so you won’t be paying for the right to declare that you are the original owner. However, you may still be eligible for warranties, especially dealer warranties.

Now, you should know that if you go to sell that used car in Ottawa down the road, the buyer may prefer to buy a used car that has only been owned by one previous owner. The fewer owners, the more the owner knows about the history of the car, such as damage, drivability, and more. Therefore, you may have a slightly harder time selling a used car for a higher rate if you are the second user.

Warranty

Most used cars come with a warranty from the dealer. Many used cars are also certified from the manufacturer. In order for a used car to be a certified used car, the manufacturer (or dealership representing the manufacturer) will put the car through a multi-point inspection in order to ensure that the car is in tip-top shape and suitable for driving for years to come. Therefore, look for a certified used car and/or a used car that still has a warranty.
