Looking at the
BIG Picture..
Car choices are lifestyle decisions,
economic decisions and transportation decisions.
For awhile it felt like bigger was better,
flashier was cooler, and quantity was superior
to quality when is came to motor vehicles. If
your gut is telling you it’s time to change and
incorporate new and better habits when it comes
to what you’re driving, here are a few things to
consider.
Determine your priorities and act accordingly.
Think both short and long term. Look at the big
picture. |

Easier said then done- maybe.
The key is to make decisions you’re comfortable
with both at this point in time and down the
road. Don’t be bullied or pushed around by a
car salesperson or any other advising parties.
Those few extra dollars you agreed to pay on
your monthly payment may irk you every month for
four years- not worth it. Knowing your garage is
not the right fit for the extra-wide truck
should automatically eliminate that choice.

Do you really want to pay for premium gasoline
every time you fill the tank- you decide?Depending
on your choices and decisions, your young child
may in fact drive your current car off to
college 8 years from now. |

| Every individual, family and
driver will have their preferences, and chances
are, will find the car to match. Patience,
persistence and prioritizing will help in any
motor vehicle quest.
On lifestyle decision making: consider safety
features, trunk space, and functionality.
On economic decision making: consider insurance,
parts and maintenance, and fuel.
On transportation decision making: think about
where you’re driving, the roads you’re traveling
on, and parking options and conditions.
Make your list and decide what’s right for you.
Your towing capacity may not need to be 9,000
lbs., you may not require 6-cylinders to get to
work on time, and that two door sports car may
not prove to be the best choice with twins on
the way. Good luck and safe driving!
