Why Are RVs FSBO or RVs For Sale By Owners a Great Deal?

RV No Comments »

A number of great deals on RVs are hitting the market today. We can buy a lot of them them from RV auctions or RV dealers. Yes, they are absolutely cheap but this might not be the best place to get a good deal. Most of the vehicles available from auction companies are from repo or foreclosed motorhomes; seldom can you found RVs that are confiscated or seized by the government.  But their are several disadvantages of buying repo rvs as opposed to buying them directly from the owner.

Repoed or foreclosed RVs are an aftermath of previous owners who have taken foregranted to pay the lenders the full amount of the vehicle completely. Probably, a consistent delay of their payment. They tend to focus more on their important bills, putting the RV bills as the least priority. To them, RV is a "liability" rather than "asset". True, I would never argue with that. However today, more and more people are treating RVs as necessity rather than luxury. They are those who replace a non-movable home into a moving residence.

But to those who are closing to foreclosure are desperate enough to get cash, desiring to save their RV from auctions especially if there is only small amount remaining to pay it fully. They may likely to sell it in a much reasonable price, knowing that their vehicle is well-condition and no major problems. A price that is equal to auctions and is fixed. This means that the buyer can purchase the vehicle without any 50-50 percent guess whether they can acquire the RV or not.
If you want to buy a great deal of RV, then I may recommend buying your next used RV for sale by owner. There are huge advantages if you do:

    1. You can ask the owner directly of the RV's history. If they will lie about the defects, you can actually know through thorough inspection.
    2. You have all the time to check and inspect the RV fully. They may even offer you to test drive it so that you can know its running condition.
    3. You can request for a discount. While auction's RV prices are getting higher, you can actually negotiate the owner and ask for a small amount of price off.
    4. Quick payment and paperwork process. Owners are very eager to get rid of it. Either because of money matters or just simply want to ditch it, they often want to process it early so that they can get the cash as soon as possible.

Used Car Insurance – The Risks And Benefits

Insurance No Comments »

From an insurance perspective there are a variety of benefits and risks to buying a used car.  The most common benefit of buying a used car is the steep insurance discount you can receive for an older vehicle.  The most common risk of buying a used car is the possibility that the vehicle was involved in a serious accident that may have had a detrimental effect on how the vehicle runs.

Used Car Prices Should Be Cheaper

One of the nice things about purchasing used car insurance is that insurance coverage will be a lot cheaper than if you purchase a insurance coverage for a brand new car.  If the value of the vehicle you are buying is $50,000 brand new, but now 2 years later it is worth $35,000, that means the insurance company can lower the price of the coverage, because the car isn’t worth what it was when the vehicle was driven off the lot.  Liability insurance should be cheaper, and collision and comprehensive coverage should definitely be cheaper.  There aren’t too many coverage options that increase when you buy a used car vs. a new one.

Check for a Salvage Title or Bad Accident

One way used car insurance can actually hurt you is if you weren’t aware of the fact that the vehicle has a salvage or rebuilt title.  Many car insurance companies won’t even look at insuring a car with a salvage title; that is a big no-no for most carriers.  A salvage title means at some point in time the vehicle was insured by an insurance company, but it was involved in such a large wreck that the insurance company at the time deemed the car a total loss.  Before buying a vehicle you should always make sure you know as much as you can about the vehicle.  Purchasing a carfax report should help.  That report will help you to know whether or not the vehicle has been in a serious accident.  If it has you run the risk of a) many insurance companies raising rates, or b) mechanical breakdown and headache down the road.

Used car insurance can equate to affordable auto insurance, but you have to make sure you do things the right meticulous way.  If you do, then you are in a great position to reap the rewards used car insurance can offer!
