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!

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.

A Simple Guide to a Do-It-Yourself Hand Car Wash
Spring is in...And with summer just around the corner, it’s time to grab a bucket and some squeegees. Basil is going to give you some tips on how to give your car a do-it-yourself hand car wash.
· If you can, park your car out of direct sunlight. This stops premature drying, which can blemish the paint.
· Fill two buckets with plain water. Add your car wash soap to only one of them. The plain water only bucket is for washing the dirt off of you mitt.
· Quickly rinse off your car with a hose (on a light setting) to loosen the dirt. Make sure you get the dirt off the undercarriage too.
· Soak a large mitt or squeegee with the soap-water and begin to wash your car. Start at the top of the car, and work your way around it slowly moving lower each time around. Scrub in a circular motion.
· After each section is washed, rinse it with the hose before moving to the next section.
· Clean the lower body and wheels last; this is where you will find the most dirt. Use a long wheel brush to get into the spokes of your wheels. Use steel wool soap pads on the tires to get rid of any oxidized rubber.
· Dry your car with fresh terry towels. When drying, open all of the doors and clean down the door jams.
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.

5 Money Saving Tips For Purchasing Your Next Car
Before buying your next car, there are a few things you should consider before walking into the dealership. Below are 5 MONEY saving tips that can save you hundreds, perhaps thousands on your next automobile purchase:
First off, you should look at the dealership’s online inventory. Most often than not, internet deals can get you a better price. When you arrive at the dealership, inquire about the car and mention you saw it online.
Second, if you plan on trading in an automobile, get a full detail first. You can add hundreds on the value of your trade juts by spending a few bucks on a full detail. Dealers pay a lot to have your car professionally detailed. By taking the initiative to clean your vehicle, you’ll add value to your car
Third, be honest with the salesman. They want to get to your business. There is no need to keep numbers from them. If your price range is $10,000, tell them that information. Chances are that they are willing to negotiate.
And lastly, persuade the salesman with kindness. Don’t walk into the dealership with an attitude and demand thousands off right off the bat. The salesman will cooperate with you more if you’re kind. Treat them how you would want to be treated.
Use these tips and you're sure to get a great deal! Especially if you come to Basil Resale Sheridan!

Used Car Salesman : Friend or Foe?
It is fair to say that most people have a stereotype in their minds of the average car salesman: pushy, aggressive, manipulative, untrustworthy, etc.
However, most people are in the market for a used car at least once in their lives, so how can one make the car buying experience a pleasant one? The first step is to overcome the preconceived ideas about your salesman before you step into a showroom.
In previous years, these stereotypes have come from personal experiences and hearsay from others. These tales might include a salesman who was trying to rip them off; who lied to them about the car’s features and background; who didn’t have your best interests in mind; who would treat you differently if you weren’t interested in a higher-end car that would get them a large commission. There still are some salesmen still in the world who practice like that, but it’s also safe to say that there are many salesmen out there trying to change people’s perceptions by being honest and fair to their customers.
In a family owned dealership (FOD), it is very important for salesman to realize their role in the organization. Most of these FOD’s have a strong interest in bettering the community in which they operate. They want to treat their customers like they are part of their family, because essentially they are an extension of the business and the name connected with it. Because of this, the owners want to make sure that the customer is #1 and that their best interest is always in the mind of the salesman. Ultimately, it comes down to a trust issue- happy customers tell the rest of the world how they were treated and whether or not the dealership is worth visiting.
So, how does one know when they are a victim of the stereotypical salesman? The first step is to make sure that you know what you want and that you have done your homework when you walk into a dealership. A salesman is going to be the first person that you talk to, so if they know you are serious about what you are looking for and that you know the average prices, it is much less likely that they will be able to cheat you out of a good price and car. Also, you must know what you are willing and able to pay, because that shows a genuine interest and confidence at the dealership. If these two suggestions do not work, you are always able to speak with other people at the business including managers or customer relations representatives whose sole purpose is to make the customer happy.
There are stereotypes on every facet of a human: gender, ethnicity, height, weight, age. However, in this day and age, customers are doing everything in their power to overcome these prejudices. It takes more than one person to help overcome a stereotype, but it takes one person to start that trend. So, the next time that you walk into a dealership, try viewing your salesman as someone who is on your side, not an enemy. Then maybe that one person could be you.
