Ring in the New Year with an Older Car

Twenty-twelve has arrived and this is the beginning of a New Year. We are creatures of habit-making resolutions each year hoping that we’ll be able to follow through on our new hopes, and dreams. The New Year is also a time to throw away the old and start with the new-or so they say. But what if you decided to break the traditional views of millions of people across the globe and welcome the old instead of the new for the year 2012? What if you have been thinking of purchasing a car and decided to go for an older car instead of that new car you’ve been admiring from afar? Okay so you’re not ringing in the New Year with a brand new vehicle-so what? There are plenty of older cars that are in great condition just waiting to have a good home.

You might need to have it detailed, or if you have the time and patience why not do the detailing yourself?  If you have a teenager in your home you could give him/her the chance to earn some extra money and have them do the detailing for you. Once your new older vehicle is cleaned up, then it’s time to take it for a spin. You should be proud-you just purchased your own vehicle. This is the beginning of a new year and that means new beginnings-even if it’s an older car parked in your driveway.
