Heiser’s Quick Motors Used Car Buying Guide
When it comes time to purchase a new vehicle it’s important to get the most value for your money. Simply adding up the costs of lifetime ownership--including initial cost, insurance, maintenance and depreciation—often points to pre-owned as the best option. Pre-owned selection is virtually limitless and getting extra options may appear more affordable. Today’s cars are built to last longer and repair issues that were common two decades ago are now much less likely. Here are some tips from Heiser to help make that next used vehicle purchase easier.
Decide what type of vehicle suits your needs
Examine your lifestyle, determine whether or not it will be changing in the near future (like a new baby or adding teen drivers), and be specific--the used vehicle spectrum is wide enough to have something for just about everyone.
Having an idea of what you are looking for can help tailor your search from the onset. Visit heisersquickmotors.com to compare models side-by-side, and check a vehicle’s CarFax history report.
Determining your budget
After narrowing your list to those vehicles you’d like to see in person, put a financial plan in place. This doesn't just mean setting a strict budget for the price of the car, but also considering other costs of ownership, such as insurance rates and fuel costs.

Heiser’s Quick Lane Maintenance Tips to Increase Tire Performance, Life & Durability
At Heiser’s Quick Lane, it is important to us that you understand every aspect of your vehicle’s maintenance, including your tires! So, here are some helpful tips to consider:
Check and Adjust Tire Pressure First Thing In The Morning.
Set your vehicle’s cold tire pressure according to the manufacturer's recommendation (found on the vehicle's tire placard or in the owner's manual). This must be done before rising temperatures from the sun or those resulting after driving short distances.
Indoor-to-outdoor Temperature Variation
Significant differences often exist between the warmth of a garage and the outdoor temperature the vehicle will be driven in. This requires inflating tires 1 psi higher than recommended on the placard for every 10° F difference between those interior and exterior temperatures.
Afternoon Ambient Temperature Increase
Set 2 psi above vehicle manufacturer's cold inflation recommendations when installing new tires or if the vehicle has been parked in the shade for a few hours. Tires on a parked vehicle exposed to direct sunlight will appear overinflated due to the heat absorbed from the radiant energy of the sun. Pressures cannot be accurately set on these tires until all have stabilized in the shade.
If you have further concerns or questions about your vehicle’s tire pressures stop by Heiser’s Quick Lane on North 76th street in Milwaukee. Located just north of Good Hope Road, the shop is convenient and no appointment is necessary. A vehicle’s tire pressure can be adjusted while you wait.
