Wouldn’t it be nice to drive a vehicle with every feature that you want for an affordable price? I know that you are shaking your head yes. Sometimes we can’t get that car that we want with all the features and accessories that we desire. Cars that are new and customized can be really expensive and not within our budget. However, adding features to our car is more realistic and it is relatively easy to do. Naturally, we all want to have the coolest gadgets and the most convenient accessories in our car. Adding a sun roof to a car will give you the ability to enjoy a cooling breeze on a warm summer day and not to mention, a sun roof looks cool. I know it’s always handy to have remote keyless entry and autostarts to enable us to enter and leave the car faster. I know that I would certainly be lost without these. We don’t always want to be stuck driving in our cars, but sometimes we have to. A good investment would be to add a DVD player or a sound system to the car in order to entertain us on a long drive or keep us occupied if we are stuck in traffic. A GPS and a cell phone holder are a definite must especially in our fast paced world that we live today. Also, it’s always nice to have such luxuries as heated car seats and heated cup holders on our brutally cold winter days. Any of these features that I have discussed can be added for as little as $250 in most places. See I told you that you don’t need to buy an expensive car in order to get such great features! As a matter of fact, you can check out Basilcars at Basil Resale Center because I know that the cars come equipped with some great features.
Basil Resale Sheridan has a large selection of over 300 vehicles to choose from. With this large inventory to select from, you are more than likely to find a car with the features that you are looking for. And if we don't have the features you are looking for, we can certainly find the perfect vehicle for you or even put it in for you!

Our Public Enemy: Potholes
What do you do when you hit a pothole? Yep! Basically, say “oh great, there goes my alignment or my suspension.” We become more cautious when we know that the roads are engulfed with potholes, but sometimes that’s not enough to avoid them. Potholes crop up like annoying weeds and you just don’t know where they will be next. When moisture from the snow melting or rain soaks below the road it will erode the dirt beneath the road leading to the asphalt cracking or giving way. Also, moisture under the road when heated or frozen will contract or expand causing strain on the asphalt leading it to fail. Trucks and vehicles only add stress to the already fragile asphalt resulting in it to collapse. Our Buffalo weather certainly creates just the right ingredients for the creation of these potholes. Whether we like it or not, we will soon have to deal with these then. Sometimes we hit these holes in the ground because they catch us off guard or we just don’t maneuver out of the pothole’s path fast enough. I think that we can all agree that potholes are not just annoying, but costly. They can cause serious damage to our rims, tires, shocks, struts, tie rods, wheel bearings, axle shafts, and much more. If you think you have damage to your car from a pothole then have it checked out by Basil Resale Sheridan immediately. Pothole damage will only increase with time if not checked out. The best solutions to cope with potholes are to exercise vigilance for these deep grooves in the road and to make mental maps of the locations of potholes that you see so you can avoid them. As well, we can also report the potholes to the city of Buffalo so the city can repair them within 48 hours.
Basil Resale Sheridan has many used cars that are ready for whatever potholes that crop up. All our cars go through a 101 point inspection, so you should feel confident driving on the road against our public enemy: potholes.

We Got A Situation This Halloween
What are you going to be for Halloween? This is the biggest question we are asking ourselves as we get closer to October 31st. You want a unique costume choice, but you don’t want to wear a costume that no one understands. My suggestion is to avoid costumes that only you are familiar with. The most popular costume themes every Halloween are characters from movies/television and celebrities. One of the most popular television shows this year is the Jersey Shore. The fun personalities of the cast make them ideal for costumes; such Mike The Situation, Snooki, and DJ Pauly D. The costume craze is not just focused on television shows, but also popular movies. There are several costumes that have been generated from the movie Twilight. I foresee that there will be a lot of Jacobs, Bellas, and Edwards on the prowl. Characters from the movies Alice in Wonderland and Avatar will also grace us with their presence this Halloween. The costumes from these movies will definitely provide you with that element of creativity if that is what you are looking for. And, yep, don’t be surprised if you see Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga walking around; these costumes are in high demand as well. This year, you are definitely guaranteed a large selection to choose from. Just make sure you get your costume soon because all the best costumes will sure to be gone.
Basil Resale Sheridan wishes everyone a safe and Happy Halloween. Costume stores are not the only places guaranteeing a large selection of inventory; Basil Resale Center guarantees a large selection of used cars inventory that will help you find that car that you have been searching for. A large inventory is not all that Basil Resale is offering; the Basil difference and a lot of ways to finance, which will ensure you an effortless car search.

Buffalo Sabres Home Opener
Crisp chill in the air, scent of popcorn and cheesy nachos permeating the nostrils, blue and yellow colors drape the crowd, whistling and screaming grow in strength as the excitement builds. Are you ready? I know I am. Saturday is the much anticipated Sabres home opener against the New York Rangers and I can’t wait. According to Lindy Ruff, the main goal of the Sabres is to win the Stanley Cup. From what I have seen, the Sabres pre-season performance has only added to my anticipation. Our veteran players, Rob Niedermeyer, Jochen Hecht, and Mike Grier will play vital roles on our team considering our team is relatively young. This team has something special that a Buffalo team hasn’t had in years; Ryan Miller, arguably the best goalie in the league. Our veteran players, Ryan Miller, new additions to our team and the drive to win put us well on our way to winning the Stanley Cup! The Sabres are a stronger team this year and I think the rest of the NHL can sense that. The Sabres are ready! I know you as well as I will be cheering the Sabres on this Saturday. My advice to you is to be ready to cheer because I have a feeling that’s all we will be doing. Go Sabres!
Basil Resale Sheridan will also be cheering on the Sabres this Saturday. If you are looking for a car, you should stop by Basil Resale Sheridan. We have over 200 used cars to choose from where you are bound to find the car that you have been looking for!

Texting While Driving
“Ding!” That sounds like a text message. Instantly, you read the text message and text back while you are driving. Why is it that most people can’t resist texting while driving? Is it because we can’t resist the curiosity of who texted us? Is it that we are trying to multi-task in this fast paced world? Is it because we are bored? Regardless of the reason, cell phone use behind the wheel accounts for 16 million car crashes a year and results in nearly 6,000 deaths a year according to the National Safety Council. To combat this issue, New York State implemented a texting while driving ban. However, studies have shown that the texting ban imposed is not effectively decreasing the number of car crashes, but is actually increasing the number of car accidents. Why is this not a surprise? Well, it’s obvious that people are continuing to text because they can easily get away with it. The police aren’t able to stop many people from texting because many people will text below the steering wheel to avoid being detected. Texting while driving can be equated with drinking and driving. Hard to believe? Well in both cases, you are not in full control of the car and pose a threat to everyone on the road. Maybe with this different perspective, we will think twice before we pick up our cell phone while driving when we hear that “ding.”

Road Rage
Heart pumping, veins bulging, blood pressure rising, fists clentched, yelling insults through your closed windows; another driver has just cut you off in heavy traffic. Have you ever experienced road rage? If you answered no, then you might be in denial like I was. Road rage is when a driver becomes enraged and commits aggressive acts toward another driver such as: rude gestures, accelerating, quick lane changes, physical attacks, violent honking, making threats, screaming, and swearing. I didn’t believe that I was a road rage driver until I was stuck in traffic behind someone driving 10 miles below the speed limit and I violently switched lanes to get around that person. I might have even swore once or twice. But who doesn’t right? I realize now that I, along with many other people, let the anger takeover because of stress, running late, driving behind an unexperienced driver, and driving in heavy traffic. Road rage has even become so common that it has been diagnosed as a mental disorder called intermittent explosive disorder.
Any driver can be affected by road rage. It is said to affect approximately 16 million Americans and is increasing by 7% each year. Stop denying that you may take part in the road rage phenomenon and start coping with it. Here are some tips to help keep the road rage away:
1. Allow yourself extra time to get to your destination so you aren’t in a rush.
2. If you start to feel angry at another driver, take deep breaths. If you can’t reduce the anger, pull over until the anger subsides.
3. Don’t drive when you are extremely stressed or emotional.
4. Make sure that you get enough sleep so that you aren’t cranky.
5. Listening to relaxing music will help keep the blood pressure low and you calm.
6. Drive in a car that is reliable and can get you where you want to go without any issues.
