If you live near St. Louis--or if you head into the city for a night on the town on weekends--there's a chance that you've called an Uber or Lyft, or at least shared one with a friend. These people-powered taxi alternatives have grown significantly in STL and St. Charles over the past few years (they were actually banned when Uber first begun) and show no sign of slowing down.

A lot of local drivers have signed up to drive for these apps. It's an easy way to make some fast cash on the side, on your own…

 

You've walked the walk--done your research into car brands, different body styles and types, compared models and features, and you're ready to take the next step.

But, if you're a student, a first-time buyer, or you've got no credit or bad credit, you'll want to talk the talk; be able to communicate clearly and effectively with whoever you choose to finance with. Whether that's a bank or credit union, or your local used-car dealer near St. Louis, you need to be able to understand the common terms of auto financing before you go in…

You want to get out of your current car, truck, or SUV, and into something a little nicer, newer, bigger, or flashier--whether you choose to trade it in or sell it locally to a private party, you'll want to know what it's worth to make sure that you (and your buyer) are getting a fair deal.

There are a variety of used car value appraisal websites out there, but one continues to stand out: Kelley Blue Book®.

Are your current car payments too high? Did you get stuck with too-high rates when you first bought the car? Or, has your credit improved significantly since you first secured a loan, and you think you deserve better?

There are a few options for you.

You could refinance your car loan through an approved lender--essentially, take out a new loan to cover the old loan.

Drivers all across the St. Louis area are already dreaming of what they're going to do with their tax return checks from the government. Some might be shopping around for a fancy new TV--others are pricing out plane tickets to fly somewhere warm and escape this brutal Missouri winter!

But, if your current car is letting you down and it's time to get into a nicer vehicle, you should consider using your tax return as a downpayment for a budget-friendly sports car, a truck, or an adventurous SUV.
