Shopping Spree

School is right around the corner. Are you ready for it? I know that I’m not ready at all. With all the things I need to get like need to get books, clothes, new T.V., computer, stereo and so many other things I can’t even remember. I don’t know about you but I’d like to do it all at one stop.

My friend told me about the Walden Galleria and I gave it a look. It has almost anything you need. It is one of the biggest malls I have ever been to. It has everything. And I mean everything. It was overwhelming but in a good way, like I wanted to see all the stores but I didn’t know where to start.

I saw it has everything from clothes to electronics, jewelry, and an enormous movie theater. With stores like JCPenny, Macy’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Best buy, The Apple Store, Game Stop, Lord & Taylor, and countless other stores, you can find anything you need for the upcoming year. And a food court which is as diverse as the stores surrounding it. I could also take a date there for a romantic dinner. It has fancy upscale restaurants like P.F. Chang’s, Cheesecake Factory, or The Melting Pot. But those restaurants are a little out of my price range, especially since back to school shopping is always the most expensive event of the year for me. I saw that this is one place where I can get everything I need in one stop.

When I go back to school I want to have the cool and nice brands that everyone knows but I don’t have that kind of money. AND I will need a new car for this fall semester. Between the salt, snow, ice, and hail I need to trade it in for a truck that can handle western NY.

So if you are looking for a car, we have over 200 cars and trucks you can choose from. There are trucks that can handle these Buffalo winters or high MPG cars for the eco friendly and money saving driver. You can get all your shopping done in one stop and not have to spend a dime of your own money. Come in and look at the great and affordable cars we have to offer!

Fishing

I’ve only been fishing a few times but it is definitely something I want to do more often. Every Monday morning I hear the salesmen talking about their trips and what a blast it was. They say there is nothing like sitting on Lake Erie with a cold beer and good friends. The summers are short but perfect for weekend fishing trips. Especially since all you have to do is take a quick drive down the thruway.

Some people think that fishing is a boring and an unexciting sport. It’s the exact opposite. There are tons of ways to enjoy it. I like to go with friends. We drive about an hour away to Fredonia to my friend’s beach house and get on his motor boat. We bring food and drinks so we never have to leave the lake. We bring the tube out so after we caught enough fish we can go tubing on the lake. In my opinion it’s the perfect weekend get away.

Fishing is great but like other activities, the equipment can be cumbersome and difficult to manage when we try to pack it in the car. The right car can make all the difference. We take weekend trips so we need to pack a lot of items, fishing gear, clothes, food, drinks, and other miscellaneous belongings. I know that having a car or truck which is built to handle trips and lots of baggage is a necessity.

Here at Basil Resale Sheridan you can find the perfect car for your fishing trip or any type of trip. We have a great selection of pick up trucks and SUV’s for your trips. We have over 200 used cars on our lot so there is something for everyone. Every car or truck here at Basil Resale Sheridan has passed a 101 point inspection to ensure our high quality standards and to ensure reliability and your safety. You will get a great warranty with your purchase, 6 month/ 6,000 mile warranty and free oil changes for life. We have a free shuttle service available to you also. Come by and see the largest inventory of used cars and trucks in Western Ny.

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!

Inexpensive and Easy things you can do yourself to get your Car ready for Spring & Summer

Inexpensive and Easy things you can do yourself to get your Car ready for Spring & Summer

1. Get rid of road salt on the undercarriage. Road salt can damage your vehicle by eating away at its undercarriage. Use a garden hose with as much water pressure as your system can collect to undo winter grime and salt.

2. Check the tires.
Tire pressure changes about 1 pound per square inch for every 10 degrees change in temperature, so it's important to check tire pressure after winter is over.

3. Check wiper blades. Your wipers work hard all winter long removing salt and other winter grime. Since the life of a wiper blade is six months to a year, check that the blades have not dried out. Do not wait for a heavy spring or summer rainstorm to discover your blades are not performing properly. Also, refill the wiper fluid if needed.

4. Clean the cabin. First you should remove the floor mats to vacuum or wash outside the car. Second open the trunk, remove the spare tire and jack and vacuum here, too. After vacuuming everything use a cleaner and a soft cloth on the dashboard, steering wheel, door panels, and seats to get off dust, stains and fingerprints.

5. Wash and wax. Putting regular dish washing liquid in a bucket of water and a clean, sponge will do the trick for the washing, using a different sponge for the body and the tire rims. Then dry the car to make it shine in the spring or summer sunshine. If needed apply a coat of protective wax.
