Why should I buy a used car? Is it a good time to buy?

Is now a good time to buy a used car?

 Interest Rates are Near Zero and New Car Sales Have Filled Dealer Lots with Trade ins

Luck is an excellent arbiter, both good and bad. But for most folks in most endeavors you just can't beat old fashioned timing! And for those folks who are entertaining the idea of replacing their transportation the timing just couldn't get much better. First off with rates as low as low it gets it means that you can drive and own more vehicle than you perhaps thought possible. Simply stated your payments on the exact same vehicle from as recently as a couple years ago are greatly reduced. Slashed by as much as $100. per month in some cases. That could benefit you by freeing up that much for other discretionary spending or allowing a purchaser to get a vehicle with much more equipment or with a more appealing name plate or a year newer. In any event expect to have more choices and better options if you make your move now. Secondly new car sales have been on a torrid pace and the trades that dealers have taken has bloated their inventories to some degree plus flooded the auctions with surplus cars, trucks and SUVs which has driven the prices down, down, down! And choices are over the top.
 

You can, at this moment find about anything that your heart desires.
I walked the lot at Paul Blanco's Good Car Company yesterday and they have an outrageously diverse selection to choose from. Convertibles, Hondas, Toyotas, F150 pickups, BMW's, VW's, Tahoes, Jeeps, small 3 seat SUV's, Mercedes. Folks it was all there and more. Some were priced substantially lower than what they had been marked just weeks ago because of the sudden bulge in inventory.

How long can this opportunity last? Of course no one can accurately predict that but if history is any indication a buyer's market suddenly turns and becomes a seller's market due to demand given rates and availability as well as price reductions. So my suggestion would be to get a move on if you are so inclined. This is a great time to buy a used car!

Forty niners football draft the gold behind the deal

With 13 picks in the Upcoming NFL Draft, do the 49'ers strike it rich?

 

Or do they gamble with a trade?

For sure the niners have history on their side for taking the safe way forward (2 picks on OL in the first round) to fill a need which resulted in 2 starters, Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati. Equally impressive is the gamble of trading 2 picks to move up and grab Colin Kaepernick in 2011. That move was pure genius in retrospect. With seemingly a fairly modest group of needs, although there are some spots that need shoring up, the best guess is this year will be used for the old "best player available" approach. That said anything can and probably will happen from a trade for more picks, a veteran to perhaps give immediate help or a move up using some of the bottomless supply of choices on hand.

Best guess at this point is the team will move cautiously and fill future needs as Jim Harbaugh has a propensity for developing his players. But with an eye out for guys who may slide down a few notches and present opportunity for a quick move up and grab of a guy higher on the clubs board than others. For sure this is a golden opportunity for GM Trent Baalke to move up in the overall perception of NFL General Manager pecking order. He has that sort of flexibility at hand. This is one of my personal favorite events of the year as it is full of intrigue and unexpected moves as teams fake, deceive and try to maneuver to grab advantage. I'll be watching with another guy who has gambled business wise to gain advantage in an equally competitive field, speaking of Mr Paul Blanco of the Good Car Company. He is quite the NFL fan and surprisingly for a guy with as much on his plate as he has he knows the sport quite well. My hunch is San Francisco will load up on athletic types but will spring at least one big time early draft day surprise.

How to Buy a Car With No Money Down

It's Much Easier Than You Think

So your car won't go and you've got no dough. And catching a bus gus is just not in the cards. So whatta you do? Well if your credit is perfect and you've got a long term, well paying job then you've got no problem. Just walk into any new car dealership and pick it out, sign the financing papers and go. But for the other 80% of us who don't fit that demographical profile then it is a bit more complicated. Not impossible but slightly more challenging to say the least. But hang with me.

You could do several things including going to a dealer who specializes in tough finance cases and ask to see only the vehicles that are slow to hard sellers for a dealer to move off his lot and explain to the sales person that you are broke and need to purchase something that is "way back of the book" so to speak. That means that it is on the lot for less than the retail value due to being a non-desirable unit. That in and of itself is why you probably, unless you are on the other side of desperate, reluctant to consider this path. Second thing you might be able to pull off is to give the dealer what is referred to in the industry as a "pickup payment." That means at some future time, pretty quick in most cases, you agree to make an extra payment which is roughly the equivelent of a regular down payment to the dealer. It is all recorded and contracted and is perfectly legal upon the dealer notifying the lender. Problem here is you currently have no cash and why would you come into a windfall in say, the next few weeks. You're not likely too so this is probably a bad idea and a sure way to quickly default on the loan terms and lose your car.

So that leaves us to what I would recommend. Find a dealer who sells in volume and make that volume of business work for you. There's safety in numbers and lenders will tend to advance more easily to clients of the dealerships that give them a large amount of finance contracts on a monthly basis. The lender makes his money making loans. The dealer makes his money selling cars so each benefits when they both give each other a huge share of their business and do a lot of business.

Bottomline is lenders are reluctant to turn down a customer of a volume dealer that is favoring them with  a ton of contracts. One such dealer I like and favor is Paul Blanco's Good Car Company. First of all these folks are huge. They have dealerships all up and down the valley from Sacramento to Fresno and most stops between. As well as opening soon in LA. And each of these stores sell tons of hot selling Hondas, Toyotas and other hot movers that the banks enjoy having on their books since these tend to retain their value better and insulate the lender from possible losses. Aside from that Blanco's volume operation is hard to beat since the lender is very reluctant to tell The Good Car Company no since he has access to over 100 lenders beating his doors down to get his finance contracts. So click on paulblanco.com and go by the nearest store and tell the salesperson up front. I want a great car in a desirable model, and I want to finance with no money down and let these folks handle it for you. Done Deal!

California's Original Angry Little Asian Girl Putu Blanco

The Authentic "Angry Little Asian Girl"

Introducing Good Car Company Managing Partner Putu Blanco

Lela Lee crator of the little angry asian girl comic series.

Putu Blanco a native of Indonisia is of course one of the most positive, vibrant and caring people in the California business world. She is the managing partner of one of the fastest growing small businesses in California. The Paul Blanco Good Car Company to be exact. A former owner and hands on manager of one of the most popular restaurants in the capital city of Sacramento with a clientel heavy on foodies and heavy hitters in politics, sports and philanthropy. She was a one woman dynamo who was seemingly everywhere at once in the lively downtown business. An expert  and educated public relations specialist she was hugely popular with customers, employees and clients. As well as being an on call care giver and supporter of any good cause in the community including but not limited to the important "My Sister's House" which has meant so much to so many battered and abused women and their children. Paradoxically there is another side to this feel good story however.

You see Putu is seriously and I do mean seriously interested in each and every client of Paul Blanco's Good Car Company receiving prompt and immediate service when they either call, click on or come by the chain of dealerships she expertly manages. She is even more serious about each of those clients and customers receiving cheerful, professional, knowledgable information and help in picking out the absolute perfect vehicle that fits their lifestyle, budget and desires. And nothing short of that will do. In short she monitors each and every transaction and customer visit and inquiry. With a 100% total customer satisfaction aim and goal in mind. So what does it take to trigger the Angry Little Asian Girl that is hidden deeply inside Putu? A failure on the part of any staff or supplier to deliver that 100% complete and total satisfaction.

A saint, a hero to many in need and your own "Angry Little Asian Girl" is what you get if you decide to be her customer and her company fails to deliver total satisfaction.

What is the California Lemon Law? Can the law protect me car purchase?

California Used Car Lemon Law Explained

 How to make the lemon law work for you!

First of all what is the California Lemon Law? It covers most anything of a significant nature that would effect the safety, reliability, value and usage of your vehicle. And it would require that you make a reasonable effort to have your used car purchase repaired to a state that would make it safe, reliable and retain value outside the normal wear and tear and market forces at work. California law doesn't require the same amount of effort nor red tape as some states so it is responsive to the consumer.

You must first make the effort however to get your vehicle repaired to a state of usage  safety and value that a normal user might expect. Within the confines in some cases of the existing warranty but not always.

So what is the best way for the average used car buyer to protect his investment, safety and value. Well your best move is to diminish the chance of buying a car, truck or family SUV that would fall into the lemon category. And make sure you purchase from a dealer who stands behind the vehicles he retails.

One such dealer is Paul Blanco of Paul Blanco's Good Car Company. Frankly the name of his business says a lot. A good start toward not having a lemon is to buy a GOOD CAR up front. And that is what Blanco's business strives to provide. He personally shops for clean, reliable cars that are low mileage and safe. Then he runs them through a stringent series of checks and tests that eliminate many as retail merchandise  Those he disposes of. His shop guys spare no expense bringing the select vehicles that wind up on his sale lot up to 100%. But as in any mechanical piece of merchandise there are occasional failures. And that is where The Good Car Company shines. They generally repair or replace any vehicle that was above a certain level of investment for a reasonable period of time. That way you can rest assured that when you purchase a late model, front line vehicle of a certain price level you are in good hands.

Now is Blanco the only gold bond dealer in California. Of course not, there are many. But his business is certainly a good place to shop with confidence. Many franchise new car dealers are also reliable. But there may be a price premium to pay by going that route as they have to cover the typical new car dealer's increased overhead.


Hopefully this helps. But as always this is a buyer beware endeavor. Check out the beauty you have selected. Any reputable dealer, such as Blanco or a new car franchise dealer will allow you to take the vehicle to a person you trust.


So the question, Should I buy new or used, is discussed in a previous blog: Read it here: "Should I buy used cars or purchase new"?

Sequester Will it doom the American economy?

Will the Sequester Doom the Economy?

 Are We in for another hard economic Fall?

   Well it depends of course on your definition of calamity. The cuts are front loaded and 2013 reductions are the biggest so lets examine the worst case scenario here. The huge numbers being thrown around are the total over a 10 year period. So the typical citizen will not even know that anything has changed. Not true in every case however as a minuscule percentage of the population will lose their jobs most likely. But I guess the old no pain, no gain adage would be appropriate.

Comic Credit The Chicago Tribune

Basically what we are talking about here and remember this is worst case, is a 2% reduction in the INCREASE of the budget dollars. Not an increase of the current spending levels. Breaking this down in terms easy to understand and relate to that is a cut of 2 cents out of every dollar of THE RAISE in pay that the head or heads of a typical household would receive  So if John Doe or Jane Doe made $100,000 in salary in 2012 and was in line to receive a $5000 pay increase in 2013 they would have to take a 2 cents out of every dollar hit on THE INCREASE when they make up their family budget. So instead of $5000 extra to spend they only have $4900 to play with. Small potatoes if you ask the average American to at least take some sort of affirmative action toward facing the greatest threat to American prosperity today. So what does the typical citizen spend $100 on? 1 pair of Nike's is about a hundred so instead of getting 50 extra pairs you can only afford 49 this year! A laugh out loud moment if there ever was one.

What we are looking at is Washington pols complaining about cutting the GROWTH of government by 2%.  When middle class families are suffering because the DC big wigs are expanding government by leaps and bounds then we are left to wonder what the heck is going on here! Young people can't find jobs because government is expanding and pushing small business to the curb. Seniors on a fixed income are seeing their life saving deteriorate because big spending Government diminishes the value of their nest egg. The anemic recovery is being prolonged because of government overspending and the resulting outrageous debt is choking off job creation.

But instead of the warring parties,  and that's what we have here,  sitting down like leaders and coming up with a responsible solution we have one giant blame game. Driven partly by ego (the President) and partly by personal survival (Congress). Where in this day and time do we come up with a Ronald Reagan/Tip O'Neal or a Bill Clinton/Newt Gingrich leadership team that solves instead of divides. Americans are sick of it.

And the average American who has to balance a budget every month knows that a ridiculously small cut in the INCREASE of the size of government is not the end of civilization as we know it. Grow up and become the leaders you were elected to be. Stop the posturing and get off the campaign trail and do your jobs. 

What this country needs is some more small businessmen and women like Paul Blanco's Good Car Company. Folks who are willing to take a risk, folks who are not satisfied with the status quo. He has recently opened a chain of small Auto dealerships in California and this in the face of all the negativism about our lovely State. With a new dealership coming on-line in Fresno to join the ones in Sacramento and Stockton. Grand opening to be in March. He believes in California and why wouldn't he. And over 150 Californians would not be working if it were not for his entrepreneurial spirit. And there are many more like him. The government needs to support small business and reap the tax benefits.

Prioritize and use responsible judgement.


Simpson Bowles would be a good guide on for the rest of the failing politicians in Washington. Great Americans working together in the spirit of bipartisanship to make us strong again.
