2007 Mercedes Benz SL Class 5.5L

The Stunning exterior profile and retractable hard top on the 2007 Mercedes Benz SL Class 5.5L will let the neighbors know you own the block.  ABC or Active Body Control is a standard feature on the SL5.5 and only available on a limited amount of other models. This active suspensions system reduces body roll in cornering, acceleration and braking. The meticulously placed sensors on the exterior of the car detect and counteracts vertical body roll by regulating suspension via hydraulic servos at each corner of the vehicle. The ABC system is throttled into high gear for some aggressive driving with the “Sport Mode ABC” activated by the driver in front consol. The difference in the two modes is highly noticed in the improved weight transfer and the sharp lateral handling around bends.

Heading into the driver seat the next most dynamic feature is the hard top retractable roof. With one quick pool of the rear flap the roof retracts within 15 seconds. Once open your nosy neighbors will gawk at the clean, streamline interior of the Mercedes cockpit. The interior gets straight to the point with an impressive amount of timber covering the steering wheel and shifter. The interior is a mix of leather for main components and black plastic for the accents. Overall, the 2007 Mercedes Benz SL Class 5.5L combines luxury, performance and technology to gain respect from its competition. The starting retail value on the 2007 Mercedes Benz­­­­ SL Class 5.5L is around $100,000 and now is priced less than half of the starting value for the gently used car buyers.  ­­­Entire article here.

Suze Orman on Financing with HELOC

Should I finance a car with a home equity line of credit (HELOC)? The line of credit will have a higher rate but the interest can be deducted from our tax return…

Suze Orman discusses this question in a recent article in Oprah Magazine, with tax season approaching this question is on many family’s minds. With the benefit of deducting the HELOC interest during tax season, is it worth taking out a car loan against your house?

“You should NEVER use a home equity line of credit for a car loan”. Suze Orman also mentions entering into a loan against your house will add your house to your collateral. If you become a few months behind on payments you risk losing the roof over your head, which is a much bigger loss than a possible repossession.

Her strategy for buying a new car is to look at the vehicle as an asset and factor in depreciation and interest. Buying a gently used car avoids the steep depreciation car buyers will experience in the first few years. This also allows a lower buying price and overall decreasing the interest on your loan. Suze Orman also suggests not taking out a loan longer than 36 months, the longer time period for the loan the more interest you will end up paying in the end. Read the full story here!

How to Buy a Used Car with Help from the Internet

Buying a car on the internet can be a foreign and scary process for many consumers. Some of the concerns have been pricing, price comparisons, shipping costs and dealer trust. Not anymore, buying your next car online can also save you money and time. Here's why:

Online Dealers Save Time & Money

At BobStallingsCars.com we pride ourselves on having low overhead. All of our cars are kept in a climate controlled, indoor warehouse in Carrollton, just north of Addison Airport. In Texas we have extreme heat, ice, hail and other types of crazy weather. Our cars are protected from damage-and our business insurance is considerably lower than an outdoor dealer. Because we are mostly online business, we have only a handful of capable employees. None of our salespeople are on commission. We are able to sell our vehicles much cheaper than the big dealers with huge, expensive buildings.

Quick and Easy Price Comps:

With the proper online dealer, you should be able to view multiple photos, descriptions, Carfax Reports and the price right on the website. That makes it easy for you to shop comparables. When you compare prices make sure that you take into account mileage, options/trim level, condition, color, vehicle history reports like CARFAX in addition to year, make and model.

Shipping will not Break the Bank

Once you've decided that you like the vehicle, be sure the dealer discloses what shipping costs will be (if any). Your trusted Carrollton dealership will put quotes available for all to see online. Your car, including shipping, should still be within market value. No pressure, negotiate and ask questions. Talk to the dealer without being at the dealership in person. This removes the impulse purchase from your buying process.

Have the Dealer Earn your Trust

Always ask the dealer how much reconditioning they've done to the car or how much has been done prior to their purchase. At BobStallingsCars.com we have the ability to tell whether a pre-owned car has been painted. Quite oftenly, there have been touch ups to vehicles that weren't disclosed on the history report. This is important to know, most of all for trade in value.

Shop the Best Finance Rates

Giving the dealer time to shop your loan will ensure your best rate. Not happy with the dealer's rate- find one online through your local bank or credit union.

Don't Settle

Any dealer that sells a Pre-Owned Vehicle without first doing a mechanical checkout or inspection is not only crazy but JIGGY. At BobStallingsCars.com of Carrollton we perform a minimum 25 point inspection on all of our cars PRIOR to being made available for purchase. If the car needs repairs, we've already made them. And, we disclose to our customers all work that we do.
