My dad always told me that keeping a car means spending for it. Gas, maintenance, accessories and gadgets (for those who are into it), insurance and the amortization, more importantly. I bought a Ford Expedition and God, my dad was right! I felt the bump of what he said just days after buying it. The gas was okay since I get an allowance for part of it, although my beloved truck really is a sucker for this highly combustible fluid.

The thing I can not get over with until now is the amortization. The agent was a referral by my friend, so I thought I could get a good deal from him. Talk about wrong impressions. It cost me a leg every month to pay for my car. Turns out there is a site on the net which can help me find the best auto loan rates in my city. Had I known this before, I could have saved tens of dollars every month for my truck.

GetTheBestAutoLoan(dot)com even has educational literature about auto loans and sometimes, about the cars themselves. Too bad I heeded the wrong advice. I told my friend that the next time anyone among our friends is going to buy a car, we will only be getting a loan online.
