Check under the seats for loose change.
Even if the amount is insignificant, there’s something fun about finding money.
2
Go wild with the bumper stickers – it’s used!
When you buy for cash, or pay off your used-car loan, you can do anything you want to your car, without worrying what the bank or lease company is going to say. So save the whales...or show your support for President Bush.

There's no need to dread that first dent in the supermarket park
New cars are scary. They're still perfect. When will the aura of newness be broken? Used cars are comfortable. They have nothing to prove. A scrape or a scratch just adds to their character.
4
There's usually no need to take the car to the dealership for ov
Some carmakers require you have the car serviced at authorized dealerships or they won’t honor warranty work. Guess who pays for those rows of spotless service bays? Dealership service is often overpriced. And have you ever noticed how dealerships are never located near public transportation? Buy used and choose your own local mechanic.
5

The biggest single drop in car values occurs when a new car is driven off the dealer lot. Used car values tend to depreciate more slowly.
6

8
Your friends will think it’s new
They no longer change body styles every year. It’s new to you, and new to your friends and family.
9
No monthly payments!
Something you really won't miss: the monthly payment notice from the bank or auto finance company.
10
If you miss that new-car smell, you can always buy it in can
Yes, they really sell new-car smell in a can. But first, consider therapy.
