Back to School Car Shopping Tips – Safe Savings


Sending a kid off to college? Did a teen just get their license? Keep these simple tips in mind when you go to pick out a vehicle for them:


Horsepower - Don’t let those high numbers lure you; higher horsepower will increase the temptation to speed.

Sports Cars - Pass. Typically bigger, heavier vehicles are more ideal to protect them from an accident. Keep in mind the insurance rates too!

Electronic Stability Control – This is a must! It will help your teen maintain control of the vehicle around curves and in different weather conditions.

Safety Rating – Aim for the highest safety ratings possible from the IIHS and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
