Don't Blow The Engine

Don’t Let Your Car Overheat – Don’t Blow The Motor

Overheating Your car? Not good.

With the boiling-hot summer weather right around the corner, now is the time to brush up on car basics and car maintenance. When your temperature gauge is in the red, your vehicle’s engine is running too hot and that can damage your car or even destroy your engine.

Don’t Let Your Car Overheat.

5 Steps to take when your car is overheating:

1. Turn your engine off.

If your car overheats on the road, the first thing you need to do is turn it off, open the hood and let it cool off.

 

2. Never remove the radiator cap.

Do not uncap the radiator system or the water system. It will be under high pressure and will blow off and burn you.

 

3. Let the engine cool off.

If your engine starts to overheat, it will give you plenty of warnings and show yellow and red lights. That’s the time to pull over before you could actually damage anything.

4. Fill up the  antifreeze coolant.

After the car has cooled – open the system up and fill it back up with new antifreeze.”

 

5. Carefully monitor the temperature gauge.

If the temperature gauge crosses over to hot or red – pull over and turn the engine off.

 

Overheating can blow-up your engine. Don’t be that guy.

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.

Knowing Your Warranty

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.

Why 2016 could be a great year to buy a Used Car – Part 3

By
Posted in Uncategorized

2016

With all these fancy cars zooming around, you can’t help but feel like you should own one of your own. The feeling of being seating behind a steering wheel and being in control of your transportation instead of relying on the bus or subway can be very liberating.

However, you have financial commitments like a mortgage or pending loans that need your attention right now. But don’t let this deter you. This year, the used car market has seen a large inflow of pre-owned cars.

A lot of cars that were purchased in 2013 and 2014 with two- or three-year leases are being sold. So, most of these used cars entering the market are at the end of their lease terms, making it much easier for you to buy them. Since their leases are running up, the price tags on these cars are also reduced, putting even swanky sedans right in your budget.

Another reason 2016 has a high inflow of pre-owned vehicles is because car makers have been releasing newer models with upgraded features. Car makers like Volkswagen, Honda, Kia, Chevrolet, etc. have been pushing out all-new models with state-of-the-art features. Other car brands like Nissan, Mazda, Jeep, and Ford have released new models of crossovers with great features and that are not too heavy on the pocket. These aspects make current car owners want to sell their present vehicles and buy newer models, which makes 2016 an ideal year to invest in a used car.

2016

When you’re browsing through a glossy catalog of flashy cars, you start developing thoughts of buying your family a brand new car. But a voice echoes from your bank account saying that this isn’t the best move for right now. Everybody faces financial constraints, but you don’t have to stop yourself from buying a car. 2016 has seen a large influx of used cars coming into the market, and you have a wide variety you could choose from.

Almost everyone would prefer a new car to a used one, but in cases where you’re unable to afford a brand new car presently, you should opt for a pre-owned vehicle. Car manufacturing companies are releasing newer models with better upgrades almost every year. This makes car owners want to upgrade their current cars and buy a new one. As these people buy new cars, they release their old ones onto the market giving you ample opportunity to choose the right one for you and your family.

Another reason why 2016 is a great year to buy a pre-owned car is that most of these cars are at the end of their lease terms. This will result in a decrease in their price tags, making even high-end sedans with modern features affordable. Cars that were purchased in early 2010s with two- or three-year leases will enter the market this year, giving an excellent opportunity for people who are looking to buy pre-owned vehicles.

Visit the New Jersey State Auto Auction and explore their wide variety of used cars.

Even though you’re not at liberty to buy a new car right now, don’t worry about it. There are tons of used cars on the market that you could choose from. And the year of 2016 is turning out to be a great year for you to invest in a pre-owned vehicle. Sure, the idea of buying a car that was previously owned by someone else isn’t as fabulous as owning a brand new car, but with your limited options, you’ll have to settle with a used car.

People want flashier, faster, upgraded cars, so you’re in luck if you’re looking to buy a used car in 2016.
