Deciding how much you can spend on a new car just became easier! NorCalCars is proud to add an automotive loan calculator to the list of features available to our visitors. You will find a link to the calculator on each of the vehicle detail pages or you can go straight to the calculator by clicking this Automotive Loan Calculator link.

The calculator is designed to help you decide how much you can afford to pay for a car in two ways; (more…)

The Internet has grown into one of the better ways to buy and sell a used car. From the convenience of your home computer you are able to easily and quickly put your car up for sale on one of the many auction and classifieds websites available. Auction sites like eBay allow people to bid on your vehicle while classifieds sites like the classifieds section of NorCalCars.com allows you to sell your vehicle in a news paper classifieds style format for free.

One of the major advantages to using online classifieds and auction sites is the increased visibility your ad gets. Instead of just reaching people in your own town like a typical newspaper does, you can reach people in towns over a much wider region.

Often people are looking for a specific vehicle. Instead of only having a few vehicles to choose from when looking in the local paper, by searching the Internet they can have hundreds of vehicles to choose from if they are willing to drive to neighboring towns to see them. Putting your vehicle in a classifieds site like the one at NorCalCars puts your vehicle “On the Net” allowing people from all over the state to find your car by searching in search engine sites like Google.

Unfortunately, the main advantage to using auction and classifieds sites is also one of the main drawbacks. Unscrupulous people use this same search feature to find unsuspecting people to try to scam.

Seems hard to believe that only a few years ago gas prices in the Northern California area was near $1.00. Now we’re just hoping to get it back under $3.00 again. One disadvantage to living in an area where towns can be separated by many miles is the need to add gas expenses into the family budget.

It is interesting to note that gas prices fluctuate greatly from station to station. Sometimes by more than $.30 per gallon, and while one station may be the cheapest one day, sometimes a station just down the street is the cheapest the next.

With that in mind, NorCalCars.com has added a new feature to our site. You can now check for the lowest price gas in your area, by using our Gas Price List. At a glance you can compare gas stations in your area to find the lowest price and all of the stations are displayed with their address to help you find them easily. That way you can choose one that is in rout to where you are going to save you from driving around to find the best deal. (more…)
