I want to thank Cars.com for sponsoring this post. Since I started working it has opened me up more to thinking about getting a second car. Because of where The Husband works it can often take some serious planning to get some things done like dentists appointments. We either get up early so that I can take him to work and he can give me the car or he take off work and takes the kids to their appointments. We make it work. But now I am thinking getting a second car would definitely benefit us. Depending on where you are based you will need to see what businesses are available for you to buy a second-hand or new car, you can see Gloucester Toyota as an alternative resource as well as read on about what I think.

As much as I want another car there are things that we have to consider before making a decision. Like for example what type of car we want, how much we are willing to pay, and if it fits into our budget. I ride a car service to work every day. It would definitely save us money on that. There is a lot that goes into the decision of whether or not to get a second car. You want to make sure that the car you are getting is the right fit and will benefit your needs, but you do not want to get one that is old and worn down just because it is cheap, as that could cause an accident which could be catastrophic. You can look here for the legalities of this on what to do if that does happen, or you could find a second-hand car that is safe and will add to your morning commute in a positive way. I also need to consider the age and condition of the car that I want. I’ve already found an amazing mobile car detailing Canberra company that I’ll use if I end up getting a car with a few paint scratches, but you never know! I’d prefer to get a newer car that’s done less mileage, so we’ll see what I end up with.
Cars.com can help you with your decision. Cars.com makes it easier to find the right car. They have provided us with some tips to help us out on finding the perfect car for your family. Here are some tips I plan on using when we decide to purchase a car:
- Research: Sometimes the thrill of getting a new car makes us make poor decisions. Trust me I know. So please do your research. Cars.com makes easy for you to research the cars that you are thinking about purchasing. There is even a video and review feature on the website. It’s important to compare different quotes too when it comes to insurance. Get a quote before buying a vehicle.
- Check out all your options: Remember there is more than one dealership you can checkout. I know you may have a car in mind but you might find it at another dealership other than the one you have in mind. Luckily Cars.com shows you many dealerships on their site.
- Be open minded: Just know that sometimes the car you want may not be the right car for you. Many it may not fit in your budget at all. So please be open minded and have more than one option.
For fun and to test out the site. I looked up a car. Right now I am really liking the Dodge Dart. So I looked it up and was able to get a list of dealerships where the car can be found and different prices. I was able to find dealerships near me. I also found videos and reviews of the car. It of course also told me the feature of the car and I was offered ratings. Another great thing about Cars.com they also do car seat checks.

I must say I was definitely happy with all the information that I found on the site. Now I know where The Husband and I will go when we decided whether or not we want a second car.
