ESB Truth Test

Buying a car here in the US is very easy. There are hundreds of car dealers that you can find within a twenty mile radius. These dealers will offer you great deals – from pre-owned or used ones to brand new and top of the line models. It is indeed very easy acquiring a vehicle here. My personal experience could tell you that. During my first few months here in the US, one of the first thing I did was to go and look for a car. Having a car here by the way is not a luxury but a necessity especially in my case where my office is not possibly commutable as there are no public transportation available to reach it. I found a lot of great deals from dealers to personal sellers. I was quite overwhelmed on the abundance of choices of pre-owned cars – from Jeep, to Ford, to Acura, to Volkswagen, and finally ending up with a Nissan. I stick to my objective that my vehicle of choice should just serve the purpose of bringing me to the office and to the nearby grocery for my supplies. So when finally deciding to buy my car from a personal seller, I then researched on the process on how to actually get it done. This is where I learned that car acquisition here in the US is also a bit tricky – you have to have auto insurance first before you can have a vehicle registered under your name as you can’t drive a car without having it registered under your name! Auto insurance here is no joke; it is relatively expensive from the country where I came from. So I did more research for affordable car insurance over the internet but mine is a totally different case as I’m coming from an international driver’s license. I finally was able to afford insurance quotes with the help of a co-worker who had the very same dilemma when he first stepped in the country. How I wish this auto insurance is a lot cheaper – I’ve heard that there was a public hearing about affordable auto insurance to bring down car insurance fees.
