Debt reduction tips
The first step in debt management is understanding the real value of your disposable assets as these could go some way to eliminate liabilities. Make a list and include:
- Property investments
- Stocks & Shares
- Antiquities & collectables
- Savings accounts
- Premium Bonds
- Leisure equipments – cameras, bikes, snowboards etc.
- Cars, motorbikes, boats
Car owners can unknowingly have large amounts of equity locked up in their vehicle, even if was bought with finance or hire purchase. The cash you will receive will be the valuation less the total settlement figure on the finance. If there is not much time left to repay the loan the more you will have in equity. If you car was leased the chances are that non of this will apply to you. Lenders will give a settlement figure on your loan if you ask them. If you are behind in repayments selling the car and repaying the whole blalnce from the proceeds is preferable to repossession.
Selling a car for cash, particularly if it needs to be done quickly, often means taking less than the car is really worth. Franchised car dealers do not really want you used car unless you are buying a new one. Advertising your car for sale privately brings all kinds of hassle and success is far from guranteed.
Websites such as Sellmycar4cash buy used cars to use as stock for main dealers and offer to value and buy your car quickly without any fees or risk. Cars need to be under 100k and no more than seven years of age. The website contains a form into which you can add some basic information before receiving a phone call with the car valuation. The valuation is not agreement to sell and you can think it over before deciding. Accept the offer and you will be called to set a date and time for a final in spection and cash hand-over.
Seriously, Why Are Cars Made Quicker Then They Can Go?
As cars increase in technology so does the speed of each and every vehicle, but why does this happen? I mean there are so many laws around that restrict this type of driving so why do manufacturers still persist to make cars that go fast. Lets take a quick look.
Government Money
What a better way to gain money from the population by fining them for driving too fast on places like the motorway. The government in every land make billions of pounds every single year by fining people for breaking the speeding boundary, would it not be easier to alternatively limit these cars so they cannot go at high speeds, this would also help save lives.
The Sale
The vehicle manufacturers realise that they need to appeal to a busy population. Most drivers, especially males love to drive fast cars. They also love to have fast acceleration speeds as well. So the manufacturers have to cater for these people. Can you imagine if the Ferrari reduced their speed of their car? I mean the company would in all likelihood end up going out of business the very next twenty-four hour period.
All in all I think creating cars to go faster then they need to be a ridiculous idea, I mean most countries in the world now have a speed limit of around 70MPH. Would it literally not be more effective confining these cars to a certain speed level and having authority figures such as Police force cars be able to go past it. This would not only signal an end to high speed car chases, but it would also help save hundreds, if not thousands of lives every single year.
This will never happen though as the world is more concerned with making money, rather than caring for society.
