Reliable Used Cars For Sale Harder To Find

Cash For Clunkers Bill in 2009 has made reliable used cars for sale harder to find say many dealers across the nation. Chris Woodyard of USA TODAY recently reported that "Hundreds of thousands of "clunkers" headed for scrappers may cause already rising prices for used cars to head even higher, dealers and market analysts warn."

"Used car prices have risen about 5% on average in the last year", says Tom Webb, economist for Manheim Consulting, a branch of a major used car wholesale operation.

This news makes reliable used cars even more valuable in these tough economic times. One way that many car owners are protecting their investment is with an extended car warranty. Adding 36 months or 36,000 miles onto their warranty now makes more sense than ever.

How-To Find Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?

The Vehicle Identification Number or VIN number is the unique 17-digit identifier often needed for used car buying. It can be located on most vehicles in several areas.

The most common places to find your VIN number:
  • On the driver's side dashboard of your car
  • On your insurance card
  • On the title to your vehicle
  • On the vehicle's registration card
  • On a sticker inside the driver's side door

Sounds simple, but when you don't know where it is,
it can be very frustrating. :-)
