Buy Used Part 1

There will always be thing to buy and there are certainly things you have to replace every now and then, but there’s no reason to buy everything brand new.  In fact there are some things that you should never buy new like a car. There are plenty of fairly priced used vehicles available and as long as you have it inspected by your mechanic, used cars are just as good as new ones.  Another item you should buy used?  Your house.  Generally, you can negotiate price on a used home and you’re more likely to find more features for less money when you buy pre-owned.  Some smaller ticket items that you should buy used include your clothes.  Now, when you buy used, it’s harder to find exactly what you’re looking for, but you’ll certainly save money by purchasing gently used clothing.  Tune in tomorrow when we’ll discuss more items you should buy used.
