My Criteria for Car Shopping

Posted on February 21, 2008 @ 4:40 pm

I’ll be the first to admit that I am a little picky when it comes to vehicles.  Any car or truck that I have had has been pampered – they are washed on a regular basis and protected from the elements when they are not being used.  You will even find the vehicles in my garage protected with car covers when I am not using them – I treat them exceptionally well.

Now, you might wonder how the way that I store my vehicles affects my shopping for them, right?  Well, put simply, when I am looking to buy a used car or truck, I look for a seller that takes the same care and concern with their vehicle.

For example, the truck that I have in my garage was one of those vehicles.  I was pretty much sold when I went to the sellers’ house and he had to take off the budge truck cover off of it to show the truck to me.  Sure, I still had the truck checked out by mechanic, but I could see that the owner truly cared for his vehicle – which made me feel at ease when I bought it.

I think that I will be buying a motorcycle this summer and I will be looking for the same things when I am at a sellers’ house:  if I see one of those motorcycle covers I will be more interested in purchasing their vehicle.
