there are certain things that you should be done to ensure good operating performance and low cost auto insurance.

First of all, you should have the oil changed every 3000 miles, in my view, which may considered overkill but I think it may go a long way to protecting your

car and reducing maintenance costs. Also, be sure to use a high quality oil and use the same type with each oil change. Be sure you have the oil filter replaced

with each oil change and have your service facility check the air cleaner, as well .Also, be sure to have the belts and hoses checked on a regular basis.

Periodically, check your tires and rotate them every 6000 miles. Also, be sure to check your tire pressure to ensure proper wear which may help protect your suspension system.

These suggestions may seem a little extreme to the reader but it has worked for me. One of my cars is an 1995 Toyota Camry with 80,000 miles and I have never

had a repair bill other than the preventative measures mentioned in this article. We at drivestrong.com are committed to providing auto insurance at competitive prices with good

data as I expected when researching this subject. There is no question in my mind that cell phone use and texting is distracting while driving and causes

accidents. It seems that the data varies from state to state which is one of the reasons there is such a discrepancy in cell phone laws among the states. Some

states have found that cell phone use while driving increases the probability of a crash by as much as four fold and other states as low as 1.2 fold.

It is clear that texting while driving is extremely dangerous and some studies indicate that texting is more dangerous and causes more accidents than drinking and

driving.That is an amazing statistic.

Almost 75% of drivers use cell phones while driving and I would not be surprised if it is higher than that. It is the view of this writer that all states should

adopt stringent cell phone laws banning them while driving both for texting and speaking directly on the phone. I am not sure if hands free should be permitted but it

may be an effective compromise.

Some states have made driving while using a cell phone illegal and ticket the offender which will result in points added to his or her license. The insurance industry is pleased with this development as they will be entitled to charge higher premiums for those who violate cell phone laws.

The type of care does have an impact. Some of the more expensive cars for example are more expensive to insure as replacement costs are higher. Also, the

safety equipment will have a big impact. Equipment such as anti-lock brakes, airbags,etc will reduce the costs.

a traditional auto loan. You can finance through your dealer who probably has relationships with certain banks and credit unions. Also, some dealers have

in house financing which can be helpful for credit challenged individuals. You can also borrow against your investments or you can shop around with different

lenders to see where you can get the best deal. It is important to remember that the faster you pay the loan the less interest you will pay. Also, if you are willing to shorten the term of the loan  you may get a lower interest rate.
There are certain obvious portions of the loan package you need to familiarize yourself.
The interest rate is critical and ,of course ,the number of months the lender is willing extend. Also, you will need to determine whether or not the lender

will finance any after sale products  such as warranties , gap insurance etc. Normally, you will not be able to finance your auto insurance. Car insuance is mormally financed through the carrier.This is very important because you may, in many cases, be interested in certain after

sale products. You will also need to determine whether the lender is  requiring you to purchase their gap insurance or their service contracts. Normally, the

lenders after sale products are very expensive and should be avoided if at all possible.
Another option you may consider is to get pre approved.This will give you a great deal of leverage with the dealer if  he know you are pre approved.

This will give you a better chance of making the deal you want as the dealer knows he has a sale in the bag if you can agree on price. Dealers tend to be more flexible when  they know they have a ”done deal”.
Probably, the best interest rate you will receive will be from your investment account. Normally your rate will be very close to prime as you are

basically making a secured loan. It will be backed  by your own investments.
Many times, credit unions will provide the lowest interest rates and will loan on 125% of NADA which will give you the flexibility to include your gap insurance

and perhaps your service contract.
As you can see there are many options when it comes to financing  your vehicle. Depending upon your credit score, you will have many alternatives and with a

higher credit score you can secure the lowest interest rate and a loan which will includes  after sales products. If you have bad credit you will have to

go through a sub prime lender through the dealer such as CAC which can be expensive or you may be able to by the car with dealer financing – buy here pay

here- which can also be quite expensive.
My advise is to do  your homework and do you best to raise your credit score. If you do you will achieve the best possible result.
