Some of these variables cannot be controlled by the insured but there are some things the insurance buyer can do to keep their policy reasonable without losing a lot in protection. What Are Your Assets? – Do you own a home? Do you have several vehicles? Do you own a business? Do you rent an apartment? Your strength in assets is a factor when selecting your liability limits.

By Jeffrey Taylor I recently read a newspaper article that car loans are stretching to 7 years and longer. Why is this?

A lot of things can happen in six years, marriage, children, divorce, job transfers, layoffs, promotions, injuries. Try to purchase...

That combination of traits also grants the average used car dealer a very negative reputation. Although some might argue that it isn't deserved, the truth is that there are a number of used auto lots that willingly do some questionable things to help improve their chances at getting a sale. The pushy salesman with the TV-manufactured smile is often just the tip of the iceberg. The most practiced and most well-known practice is called "clocking," which is the turning back of the odometer. The odometer, for those who aren't savvy about car terms, measures the distance that the auto has been driven. By "clocking" an odometer, one reduces the mileage that shows on the odometer, ...
