AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – In a turbulent economy, AutoLiquidator.com thinks that buying cheaper used or new cars under $20k could be a lifesaver.

When making big financial decisions you need the peace of mind and confidence that you made the right choice, and buying cars under $20,000 could provide just that. When you buy used or new cars under $20,000 you are selecting from a class of vehicles with high value and low cost, which is exactly what people need these days.

It is an unforgiving economy that leaves very little room for error, and real people deal with the financial decisions they make each and every day. Shopping for used or new car deals is one of the most important purchases most people make. Buying cars under 20,000 dollars is just a common sense decision, and it is something anyone looking for used or new car deals needs to consider.

Setting a realistic budget is crucial, regardless if you are shopping new or used cars. The main draw of cars under $20k is that either way you can get a high value vehicle. There is no need to sign for an expensive vehicle when you can find everything that you need in this lower price range, from used hybrids to new Ford 4×4 trucks.

Car manufacturers understand the kind of situation car buyers are in, and offer viable car options for real people. They are bringing lineups of affordable cars to meet the demand. New cars are also getting increasingly better fuel economy and technology, not to mention come with years of warranty and worry free driving.

On the other hand, searching for used cars under $20,000 also has its benefits. You can find a plethora of choices with a reasonable amount of mileage on them. You also do not deal with the immediate loss of value that comes with buying a new car. You have more options available with used cars, but do not expect your used Ford 4×4 trucks to last as long as one fresh of the assembly line.

There is a way to get what you need on a budget and not compromise on quality. It is becoming the norm in these tough times, and there is no reason for car buyers to think that they have to settle for less.

2012: New Year, New Waiting Room!

admin — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 18:06:35 +0000

The first week of January has come and gone already and 2012 seems to be rushing by. We hope you had a blessed Christmas and a happy and safe new year.

As we look toward the new year we are excited by the opportunities this year brings. We have several new projects in the works. If you have been at the dealership lately you probably noticed that we have renovated our customer waiting area. With brand new cozy leather chairs, new carpeting, a stocked coffee bar, a transportation activity board for the kids and wifi! We’re very pleased with the results and have received quite a bit of positive feed back from our customers. Today we ordered a bunch of new magazine subscriptions and believe me there is something for everyone. We’re thrilled to be able to provide such a comfortable space for our great customers.

The next project that is currently in the works is adding some lighting and remapping the parking lot. Right now it is a bit messy out there, pardon us, but in a few short weeks we’re going to look like a whole new car dealership. Stay tuned and we hope you have a wonderful 2012!

Car Shopping for ME!

admin — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:15:18 +0000

With the cool weather coming and the miles on my car getting up there it gets me thinking about car shopping! So here are some of my requirements:

All Wheel Drive – My driveway is pretty steep and with the winters around here AWD is definitely a great feature to have.
Car Seat Space – With 2 car seats in the back I’d like enough room so the kids won’t be able to reach each other. Kicking me the whole ride is not ideal either.
Fun To Drive – I spend quite a bit of time in my car. I like to enjoy it!
Low Miles – When I finally decide on a vehicle I want to be able to drive it for a long time. I hate switching cars and making decisions.

If I were to pick a from our Inventory today I would choose:

The 2009 Nissan Rouge S

I think this is a great vehicle for a small family. It has AWD, low miles and it’s cute! Plus it’s a Nissan and they are always fun to drive.

So this is my pick! What would you choose?
