When it's time to shop for a new vehicle, buyers often know that there are significant advantages to buying a pre-owned (or used) vehicle over a new one, particularly when it comes to price. Not only is a used vehicle going to be less expensive than a new one, but it will also allow buyers to put more money into customizing their rides. Here are 3 benefits to buying used trucks that you may not have thought of:
1. Cost. Okay - you've probably put cost at the top of your list when it comes to differentiating between buying a used truck or a new truck. A used truck in Edmonton is often far less expensive than a new truck - even if the used truck is only a few thousand miles old. However, buying a used truck not only makes it possible for you to save money, but you can also get more features that you're looking for.
When you buy a used truck in Edmonton, always plan a budget for what you're willing to spend. Then, look for a truck that is priced well below that amount. The extra money that you save from spending it on the truck can be put towards customizable features for the truck, such as larger tires, a roof rack, and other items that you've been wanting.
2. Features already included. Often, when you go about purchasing a used car, you'll notice that many used cars are already accessorized with great features that you'll love. For example, for less than you would pay for a new truck, you may find a truck that comes loaded already with front grills and rams, leather upholstery, a 6-changer CD player and so much more. Remember: buying used not only saves you money, but you can usually get something much nicer - still within your budget.
3. Style. Remember the days of the old bench seat flatbed pick-up trucks that would clunk down the highway at a whopping 45 miles-per-hour, spurting diesel fumes and bobbing along on rustic shocks? Maybe not - but these old trucks are something of a historical icon for many folks that enjoy the good old days of fine craftsmanship. For this reason, many shoppers looking for a new car opt to turn back time by buying used trucks from a particular nostalgic era.
These trucks, if well maintained, have all the essential features of a new truck, but they might not have the same tow load.
Buying a used truck in Edmonton not only maximizes your dollar, but also makes it possible to save money. Just about every car or truck dealership has used trucks in stock. When the used truck you're looking for is not immediately in stock, many dealerships will have it shipped to you. Keep your eyes out for features and styles that suit you - new or old - to get the best truck possible for all of your hauling and traveling needs.
Why Getting a Bad Credit Used Car Loan can Improve Your Credit
October 22, 2010 AT 11:54 AM
If you have bad credit, then you probably already know that you may have to pay more for a used car in interest rates and that you may qualify for a smaller loan. However, did you also know that getting a used car with a loan can actually help to improve your credit score? It's true! Bad credit car loans can help to improve your credit score over time, making it possible for you to get better interest rates and higher loan amounts when you apply for future loans.
Here's some information that you may want to know about how getting a bad credit car loan in Edmonton can actually help your financial situation:
Credit history
Everyone has a credit history. Some people have longer credit histories than others. Some people also have better credit history than others. One of the best ways to have a good credit history is to actually use credit, such as a loan or credit card, and pay it off on time. When you do this, you will be proving to lenders that you are financially stable and responsible.
However, if you have bad credit, chances are good that you have a short credit history or that you have some negative marks on your credit history that are bringing down your overall credit score. There are some simple ways that you can quickly improve your credit history. However to make major credit improvements, you will need to rebuild your record. Taking out a loan, such as a car loan in Edmonton, and paying it off consistently over time is one way to improve your credit history.
Proof of financial responsibility
One of the biggest reasons that taking out a car loan and paying it back over time improves your credit history is because it helps to show future lenders that you are capable of being financially responsible. Lenders want to see that you have been able to repay your debts and that you have a history of paying attention to your finances. Repaying your loan helps to improve your credit score and credit history, which will help you to get better loans in the future.
Refinancing is an option
Even if you have to take out a bad credit car loan with a high interest rate, keep in mind that as long as you pay back the loan on time, you may be able to refinance in the future for a better rate.

How You Can Afford to Buy a Used Truck
April 15, 2011 AT 8:24 AM
Every day, thousands of people are faced with the need to buy a new or used truck, but they are uncertain of how they can afford such a large purchase. Buying a truck not only requires you to commit a substantial amount of resources towards the down payment of a truck, but it also requires you to be able to continue to make payments on the used truck loan, if you received truck financing.
If you are like many people, chances are good that you're looking for as much advice as possible about how to afford to buy a truck. Here are some tips that may help you:
Trade in an older vehicle. If you are in a position in which you are looking for a used truck in Edmonton in order to replace a vehicle that you currently own, then contact your dealer about trading in or selling your current vehicle. Even if you think that your current vehicle has no value, chances are good that your dealer will still be able to offer you some money off of the purchase of your truck in exchange for your current vehicle. Depending on your vehicle, the trade-in value could be anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars.
Obtain financing. In many cases, financing the purchase of a truck means taking out a car loan in Edmonton for the truck. Taking out a truck loan is common for many individuals and dealers. We recommend speaking with a dealer first in order to determine exactly which used trucks or categories of trucks you may be able to afford through financing. Most used truck dealers, such as ours, also offer used truck loans - even to buyers with no credit or bad credit.
Consider leasing. Many folks are able to afford to engage in a leasing agreement, even if they are not prepared to take on a long-term loan contract. If you are confident that you will be able to afford monthly lease payments for a period of a few months to a few years, then consider leasing a new or used truck. When you lease, your dealer will take care of the maintenance and service to the truck - saving you even more money each year!
Modify your truck requirements. Often, buyers have a specific truck in mind when they come to our dealership. After analyzing their budget together, we discover that they cannot practically or comfortably afford their idealized truck. In such a case, we will make suggestions for comparable vehicles that will be more manageable to afford - now and down the road.
Contact Mills, your Edmonton Nissan Dealer for more information about how you can afford to buy a used truck in Edmonton today. We're always happy to discuss your financial capabilities or to show you our inventory of trucks that suit your budget!
What is an Interest Rate and How Does it Impact a Car Loan?
March 11, 2011 AT 11:05 AM
If you are like many of our customers, you are
going to be taking out a car loan in Edmonton in order to afford your new or used car. When you
take out a car loan, you will need to pay an
interest rate on top of that car loan. The interest
rate can be very complicated for many of our customers to understand - especially for those customers that are just taking out a loan for
the first time. Here's some more information
about interest rates that may help to shed
some light on a rather complication car loan component:
They are normal
Whenever you take out a loan of any type, it is highly likely that you will have to pay interest on that loan. Interest is the amount of money that
you give to the lender in exchange for the car loan.
It may help to think about interest as the lender's "interest" in the arrangement. While we all may wish that lenders would lend us money out of the good of their own hearts, it's not practical for any lender - even family members - to lend money without charging something for the arrangement. Interest is generally very small compared to the amount of the entire car loan in Edmonton.
Interest rates vary
It's rare for two people to get the same interest rate for the same amount of money - even on the same day and with very similar circumstances. Interest rates vary a great deal depending on a wide variety of factors. Those factors include the general economic conditions, a person's credit history and credit score, specials that are going on at the dealership, the loan amount, the duration of the loan, and more. Therefore, you can expect for your interest rate to be different than someone else's.
Interest is based on the entire loan amount
Interest is a percentage of the entire loan. You can often either get a fixed interest rate or a variable interest rate. It's wise to have one of our lenders explain how both of these loan options may impact you and your loan before you decide which loan options to choose. You'll repay the interest as you repay the principal loan amount each month and may not even be aware of the interest repayment (again - it's generally rather small compared to the car loan amount).
We're happy to discuss interest with you. Contact Mills, your Nissan Dealer in Edmonton today for more information about interest and our loan programs.
