Driving Around Campus

Your son or daughter just got into college. It’s going to cost you upwards from $40,000 a year and you need to find them a graduation gift. You want to find something functional and practical. And at $40,000 dollars a year, something cheap would be ideal.

It may not be in your fiscal interest to get a new car which is equivalent to an entire year of college. So, why not a used car? I mean does your college bound son or daughter want to be seen around campus in a new minivan $30,000 or a Mazda6, Mitsubishi Eclipse, or a Scion tC for a fraction of the cost? There are hundreds of used cars at Basil Resale Sheridan that you can choose from.

If you are looking for fuel efficient car so your child can save money on gas, I recommend a used Ford Focus which gets 34 MPG on the highway! You will save money on the purchase and they will save money at the pumps. While it is a small car, they will still be able to fit all their belongings when they go to move into their dorm room, I speak from experience.

Now you know what you are looking for, but where are you going to find it? Basil Resale Sheridan has the largest used car inventory in western New York (WNY). We have anything your college son or daughter is looking for, from small sleek sports cars to large, fierce SUV’s. Basil Resale Sheridan has it all!

Festival Filled Weekend

Here at the office, Basil Resale Sheridan, there was a debate on what to do this weekend. I had no idea there was so much to do in the summers here in Buffalo. Other than just places to see, there fun-filled cultural historical festivals that have been going on for over 50 years.

First, there is Old Home Days right here in Williamsville. The goal is to celebrate this gorgeous historical town. It’s about a 15 minute drive from Basil Resale Center on Sheridan Drive. It will be filled with live music, great food, carnival rides, booths, games and tons of activities. Saturday is the last day so make sure to bring the whole family.

I hear one of the biggest events this weekend is the Italian festival. It’s taking place on Hertel Ave. If you love Italian food or practicing your Italian like me, then this weekend annual event is for you. There will be local entertainment, bocce tournament, Miss Italian Festival, Italian Idol Contest, essay contest for scholarships, computers for genealogical research, Italian bilingual Mass and religious processions, and live cooking demonstrations. This is a great outdoor festival has something for the whole family, with and amusement park and crafts just for kids.

Or if you are German or Austrian, there is a festival called Waldfest. It takes place outside in the woods of Cheektowaga. It started in 1938 and has been going every summer since. It is another great way to enjoy the upcoming weekend. It takes place Sunday and will consist of drinking, partying, dancing, eating, and having a great time. 4,000 people have come out to enjoy the festivities in the past, so it’s no small get together.

These ethnic events will make for a perfect cultural weekend. There will be plenty to do, eat, and drink. If you want to turn some heads at the festivals, be sure to come into Basil Resale Sheridan to find your perfect car.

Summer Getaways!

Summer is finally here! It’s time to grab the family and hit some vacation hot spots. But where is the best place to take your family and friends? I recommend a nice beach get away on Lake Erie.

To get away from it all, get down to the shores of southwestern NY. The location makes it an ideal travel spot since you don’t have to deal with the hassle of an airplane or a long drive. You will find that the peace, quiet, and beauty of this beach will keep you coming back with friends and family! My experiences out there have been nothing but positive. It is perfect for kayaking and jet-skiing. You can also go tanning on the beach or set up a net and play some volleyball.
The drive down the I-90 is scenic ride through a beautiful western NY landscape. It is definitely a change of pace from the crowded city of Buffalo. AND it’s only an hour away from the city!

Basil Resale Sheridan has a great selection of cars perfect for this trip. For the large family, we have a nice selection of large vehicles or minivans for the family or if you want to tow a boat or jet-ski out, we have the perfect SUV or truck for that too. Next time you are planning a road trip, come into Basil Resale Sheridan to see what car or truck is the perfect fit.

Fuel of the future

I am sick and tired of the price of gasoline. And on top of the high prices, I am filling up my tank every other day. I work too hard for my wallet to be this light.

If I was able to build my perfect car, it would be focused around fuel efficiency and fuel type. Electricity combines these two elements and makes for a great source of energy for a car. A new model called the Telsa gets 245 miles for every full battery charge. Compared to most cars and almost all SUV’s, the mileage the Telsa gets is a big improvement over conventional vehicles.

The cost of recharging your car would be much cheaper than refilling it. It would increase your electric bill but couldn’t compare to what would be saved on gas. And not to mention the convenience! In addition, using electricity will be more convenient. Rather than going to a gas station to refuel your car, you can plug it in between uses or at home while you sleep.

Even if a lower gas bill can’t change your mind other benefits include tax breaks, great acceleration, environmentally friendly, and lowered maintenance costs.
The electric car is growing in popularity and is the future of the fuel industry.

However, it will take some time before the electric car catches on. Until then, there are plenty of gas efficient cars around. I am always checking the window stickers to see the MPG on each car. Out of all the lots I have walked through, Basil Resale Sheridan has one of the top selections of energy efficient cars around.

Stop by Basil Resale Sheridan soon!
