Six Easy Steps to Find Your Perfect Used Car
Looking for a used car? With nearly 40 million used car sales per year, you’re in good company.
With so many choices on the market, Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales has created this list of steps to help you find your perfect car. Reach out to our experienced and knowledgeable team for more personalized help.
Step 1: Determine Your Car Budget
If you’re taking out a loan to pay for your car, aim for a payment of less than 20 percent of your take-home pay. Used cars sometimes need a little extra attention for new tires and maintenance and the like.
Step 2: Create a Target List of Used Cars
Make a list of three cars that meet your needs and fit your budget. For example, the Ford Fusion or Kia Optima cost a few thousand less than the
Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
Step 3: Research Online
One easy place to create your target list is at timstruckcapital.com where you can filter your search by many factors including mileage on the car’s odometer, price and other features.
Step 4: Check the Vehicle History Report
AutoCheck and Carfax are reputable sources for vehicle history reports. All you need is the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Step 5: Test-Drive the Car
Test driving a used car is the best way to know if this car has the feel and features for you.
Step 6: Have the Car Inspected
If you are serious about buying the car, have it inspected by a mechanic.
Our dedicated sales team at Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales in Epsom, NH, looks forward to helping you find your perfect used car. We’re a family owned business serving the greater Concord, NH area for over 33 years.

Tips for Buying a Used Truck
Check out these benefits of buying a used pickup over buying a high-priced new model. Here are some bonuses you can see when you buy a used truck:
Avoid rapid depreciation: If you make a low down payment on a new truck, you could end up owing more than the truck is worth, since new models can lose half their value in the first two to three years.
More choice: There are more than three times as many used trucks on the market, providing you with a lot to choose from. At Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales, you can choose from our extensive inventory of used trucks. And if you don’t find what you are looking for—tell us! We’ll find it for you.
What to look for: A good bet is to find a pickup truck that’s only a few years old. It will have a lot of life left and will already have taken a big hit in terms of depreciation. You can expect a well-maintained modern pickup truck, to be on the road for 200,000 miles or longer, especially if it has a diesel engine.
Focus on reliability: Look for a pickup truck with good reliability scores. But remember, every used truck is unique. Be sure to have a pre-purchase inspection, and even get an inspection by a professional mechanic.

Tips to Keep Your Car Like New
So you just got your new pre-owned car from the New Jersey State Auto Auction and you want to keep it as good as new. There are several ways you can take care of your new investment. Below we will look at a few steps you can take to keep it in top shape.
1. Clean Your Car
It may seem like common sense, because it is. Keeping your car clean is an easy way to keep it looking like new. Washing the exterior and cleaning out the interior once a month is easier than putting it off for months. It will save you from dirt and grime that can potentially damage your car. You can clean it yourself, or have it cleaned. Either way it will improve your driving experience.
2. Check Your Tires
If your tires don’t have the correct pressure, it can cause problems. Some of these problems include poor braking, less gas mileage, instability and a flat tire. Checking your tire pressure is easy and most gas stations have air pumps where you can fill your tires. Lots of cars have sensors that will tell you your tire pressure, but you can always check the pressure with a gauge.
3. Change Your Headlights
Whenever your headlight or tail light goes out, driving in the dark can be a nightmare. If they aren’t working properly it can also lead to dangerous driving conditions. If your headlights are dim or aren’t working correctly, change them. It’s not worth risking driving at night without them.
Keeping up with your pre-owned car is easy, if you know what to do. You just saved a lot of money buying your car at Tim’s Truck Capital, so don’t blow it on costly repairs that could be avoided. If you’re interested in purchasing a pre-owned car, visit us at Tim’s Truck Capital. If you want to keep your current ride running great, come see us.

Purchasing A Pre-Owned Car
Buying a pre-owned vehicle has several benefits, like saving you a lot of money. Doing your research and making a plan before you rush into a decision is always the best choice. Below are a few tips to have the best buying experience.
1. What can you afford?
Figuring out your finances before you buy a new car is crucial. If you plan on taking out a loan, your payments should not be more than 20 percent of your take-home pay. If you are on a tight budget, it should probably be less. Making sure you stick to what you can afford is important because cars aren’t cheap. Knowing the cost of insurance and upkeep on the cars you are interested in can save you from questioning your purchase.
2. What do you want?
Find out what you want in your new vehicle. If you can’t live without leather seats, put that on your list. If you have your eye on a truck with an extended cabin, write it down. Find out what vehicles have what you are looking for and check out a dealership with a lot of options, like Tim’s Truck Capital. You can search for a car with what you want and can afford.
3. How much does it cost?
Research prices of what you want after you make your list and figure out what you can afford. You can usually find great cars that are one or two years older than you were looking for, but they end up being significantly less expensive. Being flexible is one of the benefits of buying a used car. If you search for prices and cars you are interested in, you can end up finding a gem. You just need to be patient.
These are just a few of the things you should consider when purchasing a new car. We would love to help you find the car or truck of your dreams. Visit us at Tim’s Truck Capital to find your next vehicle. For more information about our inventory, check out our website.

Steering Maintenance – Power Steering
When thinking about preventative maintenance, steering is probably the last thing on your mind. Your power steering was built to last, but it needs to be serviced every once in a while. If you are unsure about when your power steering needs to be checked out, you can schedule a service at most service departments, like the one at Tim’s Truck Capital.
Your steering is made up of two different parts. These parts are the power steering and the parts that actually steer your car. Taking care of both of these components can prolong the life of your steering. In most modern vehicles, power steering is run by a hydraulic power steering pump that gives your steering that little extra something that helps you steer. The pump is usually powered by the serpentine belt in your engine. Some newer vehicles have an electric pump or an electric motor that powers the steering. Knowing what runs your power steering can help you determine when you should have maintenance done.
Whenever you schedule a power steering service, your technician will drain all of the old fluid from your pump. This gets rid of any water or contaminants that can damage your power steering. The service technician will then replace the old fluid with fresh fluid. This service prolongs the life of your power steering and keeps everything running smoothly.
Your mechanical steering parts will usually be checked whenever you get a standard service like an oil change. Your service technician will usually lube your steering parts and check for damage. You can look for signs that your parts are wearing out. Loose steering and uneven tire wear are two big signs that you need to have your steering parts checked.
If you are unsure about the current state of your steering, visit a service department to have it checked out. Tim’s Truck Capital has a great service department ready to help you with anything you need. For more information about the services we offer, check out our website.

Perks of Buying Used
There are lots of reasons to buy a used car. You can end up saving a lot of money and get a vehicle you really love. Below we will look at three different benefits of getting a used car!
Extra Features
New cars have a lot of great new features, but they usually cost extra, making the price of your car go up. Used cars have similar features, but they don’t cost any extra. If you are searching for a car with a feature like a navigation system, you can search for that specific feature until you find a car that has what you want. Knowing what you want when you purchase your vehicle can save you lots of time. Not paying additional costs when it comes to features can too.
Fees
Most new car dealerships have extra fees that are tacked on to their car’s final prices. Additions like shipping charges and destination fees can add up and end up costing you a lot more than you were hoping to spend. Used car dealerships are usually a different story. Most of the costs come from when you head to the DMV to pay title, tag and registration fees.
Condition
Most modern cars have been built to last. You can find a great used car in like new condition at a great price. Most used car dealerships have some kind of extended warranty that can cover your car. The manufacture may also have a warranty specifically for their pre-owned cars. Researching before you buy can help determine what the best choice is for you.
If you are looking to buy a used car, researching all the information about your purchase can really help you in the long run. If you’re ready to start looking or already have one picked out, visit Tim’s Truck Capital. For more information about us and our inventory, check out our website!

Three Benefits of Used Cars
We have said it before and we will say it again. There are so many benefits from purchasing a used vehicle. They offer you things that new vehicles just can’t. Below are three benefits from buying a used car.
1. Low Price
Used cars are naturally going to cost less than a brand new vehicle. New cars initially lose value once they drive off the lot after a purchase, but a used car retains its value. You can get the car of your dreams in an older edition, but at a price you can afford. That truck you’ve been eyeing? Tim’s Truck Capital probably has a model that’s a few years older that is at least half the price. Buying a used car is affordable and can save you big time.
2. Sales Tax
New cars often have hefty sales taxes tacked on to the final price. Used car taxes vary. Some states have laws that eliminate the sales tax, saving you lots of money. Taxes on new cars can add up to thousands, but used have the potential to be minimal or even zero. Research your state’s sales tax laws or ask the used car dealership for more information.
3. Registration Fees
States require you to register your vehicle and the registration fee is based on the value of your car and the model year. Registering a used car is beneficial to you because the rates are usually lower a few years after the vehicle is manufactured. You can end up saving lots of money because of the declining rate.
These are just a few of the reasons why buying a used car is beneficial to you. If you have any questions about purchasing a used car or want to look at some options, come see us at Tim’s Truck Capital. For more information about our services and our inventory, check out our website.
