			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are young enough to know who One Direction is, you probably seen Louis Tomlinson breezing down the road in an adorable blue sports car. Ever since, you have really wanted to know what that car was. You’ve been saving your money for a long time to get a new car and since summer is soon coming, you have decided that now is the time to get one. Things are going great for you. You have a great job, money for a down payment and you will be able to afford to pay for your car, so why not? After doing some research online, you learned that Louis was driving a Mini Cooper. You fell instantly in love with the car and decided that you must own one. Before heading to the Mini dealership, there are a few things you should know about these adorable, small cars.</p>

<p>Mini Coopers are manufactured by <a title="BMW" href="http://www.bmwusa.com/">BMW</a> in Munich, Germany. There are different models available, with the most popular being the Base, Mini Cooper S, and the John Cooper’s Works. All of these cars are two door models and will seat four people. Most Mini Coopers are standard shift, which means that they require you to use a clutch while driving. There are a few that were made with automatic transmissions, so if you have never been behind the wheel of a stick shift car, you probably don’t want to purchase one until you know how to safely operate it. If you already know how to drive a stick shift, you have nothing to worry about. When you are choosing a Mini Cooper, there are so many beautiful colors available to choose from. There are white Minis, green Minis, black Minis, red Minis, blue Minis and even yellow Minis. There are also models with sunroofs and convertible roofs. Some models no not have a sunroof, but only come with a standard roof. Some, like the one <a title="Don N Sherra Blog" href="http://www.donnsherra.com">my friend Sherra</a> owns even have the Union Jack flag printed on the roof!</p>
<p>Minis have so many cool functions that you will be sure to love. They have heated leather seats which are great in the winter time. They also have LED lights inside and you can choose what color you want them to be from red, blue, pink, purple or orange. The Mini has a great sound system in it and can even connect to your iPod if you want to listen to music.</p>
<p>Mini Coopers are great cars for so many reasons. They are great if you are looking for a small car to save on gas. You won’t have to sacrifice a hot car for something hideous. They are also reasonably priced and enjoyable to drive. No matter what kind of Mini Cooper you choose to get, you will get a great warranty and roadside assistance should your car ever break down. Once you get in to test drive one of these cars there will be no way you’ll drive off the lot without one of your own!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting a new car is so exciting. You will have a new and flashy ride that makes you feel like you are on top of the world. Many people at some point in time or another will head out to a car dealership to purchase a new car, but some people will always choose to purchase from a private seller. No matter how you purchase your car, there are always a number of things for you to take into consideration. Here is what you should know about car buying in a nutshell.</p>
<p>When you are making a car purchase, you will always want to get a vehicle history report.  You’ve seen the commercials about <a title="CarFax" href="http://www.carfax.com">CarFax</a>, so do not be afraid to ask for one if the dealership you are looking at cars at does not provide one first. You have the right to know what the car went through before you purchased it. If it was in any major accidents or floods, you should probably proceed with caution because once you drive it off the lot, it is your own problem. Make sure you buy a car that does not have a lot of miles on it, especially if it is expensive. If you are purchasing a car with a lot of miles on it, you can bet that it may not run for very long and then your money will have gone to waste. Make sure that any car you look at has a clear title to it. You do not want to purchase a car that has a title with a lien on it because this will only cause you trouble down the road, literally. Make sure that you check the price of your soon to be car on Kelley Blue Book to make sure that you are not being taken. Additionally, you want to choose a car that you know you will be happy with for a long period of time. If you choose to finance your car, make sure you ask questions ahead of time and have all the knowledge you need before you sign those papers. You will want to know how long you have to pay for it so that you are not fretting about payments, and most importantly, you will need to know how much your payments are and when they are due so you know whether or not you can afford them.</p>

<p>There are many things that you will want to consider when you are purchasing a car. These are just a few of the things you will want to take into consideration. Make sure that if you have never purchased a car before, you take someone with you who has and if you have someone in your family who can check a car over for you before you drive it off the lot, take them with you as well. Purchasing a new car should be fun, not a headache!</p>
