Your PA used car dealers know that we are living in tough times right now. With the housing market crashing, the stock market tumbling and gas prices hovering between $3.50 and $4.00 a gallon, people are feeling the pinch. But your PA used car dealers want you to know that it’s not the end of the world. There are some things you can do to protect your finances and minimize the negative effects. Following are some of those tips.

Take your financial decisions more carefully. Don’t rush into any big purchases or investments out of fear or uncertainty. That’s what gets many people into trouble in the first place. Instead, research all of your options and talk to people who know more about the financial industry than you do to make the most informed decision.

Create an emergency fund. An emergency fund should consist of about six months of expenses that you can easily access in a checking or savings account. When something comes up that you need money for, you don’t have to resort to credit or borrowing from a bank or lender.

Invest automatically. One of the best ways to survive a volatile financial market is to invest your money through automatic debits or deductions. This will ensure that you continue to do this without even thinking about it.

Buy a used or certified Mercedes-Benz. After weighing your financial options, consider a used or certified Benz instead of a new car. Your local Mercedes-Benz dealer has great sales and specials right now. Visit one today and you can ride the financial rollercoaster in style!

The General Motors plant in Fairfax is going to start producing a new car for Buick auto dealers beginning next year. The new Buick passenger car is likely going to be the new LaCrosse and it will be a sure hit at Buick auto dealers across the nation.

In addition to the new Buick model, the Fairfax plant is also building the Saturn Aura and the new Chevrolet Malibu models. Production starts in February, according to UAW official John Melton.

“Building three different models on the same line is not new to us,” according to Melton. “We’ve done that before. We always like getting new products in here.”

The production of the new Buick adds about 100 hourly jobs at the Fairfax plant, bringing the workforce up to nearly 3,000 employees. These workers are going to be experienced employees that are coming from the “idled facilities” around the country.

General Motors isn’t releasing any details about the name or style of the new Buick model. However, auto publications and analysts are speculating that it’s going to be a redesigned 2010 Buick LaCrosse.

Keep your eyes peeled for these new vehicles at your local Buick dealer.
