Just Go Automotive

Check out magazines that specialize in specific types of cars to learn the lastest and greatest restoration trends for your specific vehicle. There are plenty of Corvette, Mustang, and Volkswagen magazines (just to name a few) to choose from. Brand-specific magazines will more than likely contain the applicable advice on your specific make and model.

A complete car restoration does not just include the car body and the wheels. The parts that are not necessarily visible can and should be restored as well. These parts include the engine, engine compartment, trunk, frame, the driveline, and all ancillary parts.

When you test-drive a used car, some things to pay attention to are the brakes, handling, comfort of the seats, headroom, and how well the car blocks out road noise.

If your finances are limited, used cars can help you save money. For example, the average new car price in 2013, according to Kelly Blue Books, was nearly $33,000. That compared to just under $16,000 for a used vehicle in 2013, according to Edmund’s.

If you’re one of the car enthusiasts who believes that the most current model years coming out of the factory lack the character of older cars, you might want to consider buying a classic auto instead. If the ones you find in your price range are a little worse for the wear, we’re always happy to handle the restoration for you.
