You Should Be Doing These Things to Spend Less on Your Car

Posted on September 26, 2017 by ben

If you own a car, you have to be careful to work the costs into your monthly budget. On top of car payments, you could have tax, fuel, and insurance to take care of. And that’s before you get to any maintenance costs. Owning a car is often expensive, but you can make it more affordable if you know how.

Make Savings on Your Insurance

Insurance can be one of the most expensive things about owning a car. How much you pay can depend on a lot of factors, from your age to your driving history. If you want to save on your insurance, shopping around for the best deal is often the best way to do it.

Be More Economical

Fuel is another big cost for any driver, but without it, you won’t be going anywhere. You can’t change fuel prices, but you can change how much fuel you need. The right car and careful driving allow you to be more economical and avoid spending too much.

Regular Maintenance Prevents Costly Repairs

Maintaining your car to keep it healthy is essential. Not only will it help to prevent expensive repairs, but it also ensures that you drive safely. You need your car to be functioning properly if you want to be able to control it on the road.

Weigh Up Buying vs. Leasing

Of course, the cost of the car itself is important too. When you choose a new car, one thing to consider is whether you should lease or buy. Sometimes, leasing might be the most sensible choice.

About Us

My good friend Ben started this site many years ago.  Ben said this about himself, “am a follower of Christ, a rabid computer geek, small business owner, and breaker of things. He is married way above his station in life and has three wonderful children who have made driving him insane their mission in life.”

Well back in 2019, Ben suddenly passed away from cancer and he asked me to continue the site. I like Ben, am a follower, a computer geek, a small business owner, and the father of 5 great children.

I miss Ben everyday but run this site in his honor. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
