Also, try to offer the parking attendant a lesser amount in cash. If the lot has some empty spaces and the signs says $35, flash the attendant $25 in cash. They might accept your offer because business is slow and they prefer cash over credit cards.

How to save on a car!

Get the most out of the car you have right now

If you own a high mileage vehicle that gets you from point a to b then don't rush into buying a new vehicle. You may have to spend money on normal maintenance, but you will still come out ahead by not having a car note to pay every month.

But, when you are ready for new wheels, shop online for a car. You will avoid the sales pressure filled atmosphere of a dealer showroom by shopping at home on your computer for a vehicle.
