June 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Buying a reasonably priced car that is paid off on time is an excellent way for a graduate to build credit.  That will help down the road with buying a house, a more expensive car, starting a business or anything else that requires borrowing.  Before going to the dealership, it’s a good idea to check your credit history, which gives you the same information lenders use when they decide on a car loan.  Each of the credit agencies, Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, allows one free credit report per year through their websites.  Recent graduates should be prepared to pay higher interest or a bigger down payment to satisfy nervous lenders because of a short credit history.  Since most graduates are first-time buyers a parent may have to co-sign.

Dave Senkow of Tunkhannock Auto Mart strongly recommends, find a dealership your relaxed with and set a firm budget.

Talk with friends and neighbors, do some research, look for testimonials, find a dealership that is commendable and deserving of your business. At Tunkhannock Auto Mart they have over seventy-five customers on their website recommending the Wilkes-Barre, Scranton dealership. Secondly, graduates being first –time buyers will want to come up with a firm budget before setting foot in a dealership. Graduates should plan to spend no more than 15 percent of their monthly income for payments, says Greg McBride of Banrate.com .  At Tunkhannock Auto Mart they supply a loan calculator on their website, right next to each vehicle so that graduates of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton can figure out what payments will be.  Plus their Finance Manager, Gary Myers, is very helpful when working with the first-time car buyer. Gary Myers has been with Tunkhannock Auto Mart since 2002; he enjoys working with the graduates of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, and is proud of the cars and trucks that Tunkhannock Auto Mart sells.  Tunkhannock Auto Mart operates a robust pre-owned car business and is a franchised Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Chrysler dealership.

A question that is commonly asked by graduates is, lease or buy? At Tunkhannock Auto Mart they promote that for graduates, buying is the way to go in most cases.  Dave Senkow, managing partner of Tunkhannock Auto Mart located in Wilkes-Barre- Scranton, Pa., agrees that buying lets you put equity into something you’ll eventually own.  Leasing can be dicey for recent graduates because, while payments may be lower, most provisions charge a fee for breaking the lease early.  In a thorny job market, that’s not an attractive prospect.  A good alternative is to buy a dependable late-model used car. Payments will be lesser than a new car, and someone else will have taken the initial depreciation cost.  But one benefit of leasing is it’s typically cheaper and doesn’t require a down payment – good for a graduate that doesn’t have cash on hand.

At Tunkhannock Auto Mart they employ an exclusive used- car buyer who has been with the Wilkes-Barre, Scranton dealership since 1990. TUNKHANNOCK AUTO MART DOES THE WORK FOR YOU WHEN BUYING PRE-OWNED VEHICLES...their EXCLUSIVE car consultant spends several days each week on site at automobile auctions to bring back vehicles he can find at the best prices.  He travels to automobile auctions in Florida and other southeastern states to bring back low mileage cars that were part of rental pools for vacationers, he says.  "The cars down there seem to be more gently used by people on vacation than by busy road warriors who go from place to place at break-neck speed to get their jobs done.  And new cars put into rental service down south seem to suffer less damage because of their better weather and road conditions down there versus the snowbound northeast.  The windows and bodies don't suffer damage from flying road cinders, the tires aren't beaten up by pot-holes, and the under carriages are not damaged by chemicals spread onto icy roads."  At Tunkhannock Auto Mart they target vehicles that have only been in service for six to 12 months and have been treated well as evidenced by their maintenance and service records.  Their consultant physically goes to the auction site because he says you can't tell from a video or picture if there is body or interior damage.  He also looks very carefully at the CarFax history reports to evaluate the past ownership.

Tunkhannock Auto Mart works hard to bring the best pre-owned cars and trucks into Wilkes-Barre and Scranton.  They do the research and they stay focused.  Dave Senkow recommends that you to do the research and stay focused.  Research models, pricing and the dealership, and remember you are in control, if it is not the deal or price you want, be prepared to walk away; don’t let anyone pressure you.
