Have you noticed a change in the Maryland used car market? We have. Maryland, and across the nation, is experiencing a surge in used vehicle sales. Stimulus checks, side-gig money, and a shortage of new cars have spurred an increase in the sale of used vehicles.
If you are looking for a used car, we provide some Hi Lo Auto Sales tips in this blog.
To find a used car, you need to do your homework. Here are a few tips from the sales team at Hi Lo Auto Sales:
There is one fact that always remains true in economics. When the supply goes down, prices go up. During the COVID-19 crisis, new car inventories fell across Maryland and beyond. As the stock of new cars fell, buyers shifted to the used vehicle market. Prices of used inventory are on the rise.
As prices go up, you may find that the car that fits all your wants is just out of your budget. Remember, some of your wishes can be obtained in the aftermarket. Perhaps, you can add a new sound system, a trailer hitch, a new truck bed liner, or a trunk organizer after your purchase. Your focus may need to be on your “Need List” this year.
Do some preliminary homework and let your sales professional assist with finding used vehicle options to fit your needs. A used car professional can often find you the perfect match and provide services beyond an internet-based experience.
If you are looking for a quality used car in Maryland, be sure to browse our online car and truck inventory. We have four Maryland locations to serve you, Cockeysville, Ellicott City, and two in Frederick. So how can we help you?
As the economy bounces back from the COVID 19 crisis, you may find that it is time to invest in a business vehicle. A used car, truck, or van may fit your needs, over purchasing a new vehicle or leasing.
Before visiting HiLo Auto, here are a few steps to take to prepare for your search and purchase.
Although the trained staff at HiLo Auto is ready to help you find the perfect vehicle, purchasing for a business is different from buying a personal car. So, we put together a list of tips to review before starting your search.
Once you review our 5 tips and have made a list, get in touch with our trained sales team. Review your list with our team and set an appointment to test drive vehicles that fit your list.
If possible, bring a co-worker or team leader with you to test-drive vehicles. For example, if the vehicle will transport a team to a job site, bring the team leader. During the test drive process, a second opinion is helpful.
Once you find a collection of vehicles that match your needs, it is time to make that second call to your insurance agent. Review the autos with your agent and get a quote. If you are acquiring a business loan to make the purchase, you also want to reach out to your lender or work with our team.
The HiLo Auto sales staff will be ready to help you finish the transaction.

Many in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region have been working from home for over a year. As WFH transitions into a hybrid work environment or even an office environment, many find themselves preparing for the daily commute. It has been a long time, and many things have changed. For example, have you noticed the increase in the price of a gallon of gas?
Is your car commute worthy? Now is the time to review your options.
Autos for the Commute to Work
Recently, we have blogged about cars and trucks for weekend fun and adventure. Still, it may be time to also discuss your workweek commute. You may be driving all the way to your office or to a public transportation hub. Either way, it's time to review the HiLo Auto checklist.
(If you are still looking for your perfect weekend adventure auto, browse through our recent blogs)
Use our HiLo checklist to review the viability of your current car or as a pre-shopping checklist.
If it is time to shop for a commuter car, make a list of your wants and needs. If you are a staff member that must get to work in all weather conditions, a 4WD auto may need to be placed on your "needs" list. A great sound system to listen to your favorite tunes is a "want." It is essential to know the difference before shopping for any auto.
Perhaps you are a sales representative that needs to carry supplies in a roomy trunk, or you may be planning to carpool to work. Or do you need a car that is easy to park?
Before starting your search, make a list of your Wants vs. Needs. Then, bring the list with you to any of the three HiLo Auto locations in Maryland. Our sales team can help you find the perfect commuter car to fit your needs… and your wants.

Before purchasing a 4WD vehicle, spend time considering your needs and wants. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before buying a 4WD car:
After you decide your wants vs. needs, it is time to test drive used vehicles. As you test drive used 4WD trucks and other vehicles, take special note of any after-market modifications if you plan to tow a trailer or camper.
Does your new 4WD vehicle have a tow package? A tow package is an asset factored into the value of the vehicle.
