Reasons to spend your tax return on a used car

It’s tax season again! This time of year can be seen as wonderful or dreadful depending on who you ask. The paperwork and time it takes to file your taxes might feel like a burden, but seeing the amount of money you are getting back tends to wipe that out and replace it with so much glee you may be tempted to throw a parade. What should you do with that money now? Technically, it is money that has belonged to you this whole time (it is a refund, after all, not a bonus), but chances are you did not include this in your budget, so it certainly feels like a bonus. Now may be a good time to make a purchase that has been on your mind for a while. How about a car? Read on for a list of a few reasons to spend your tax return on a used car.

A car is a big purchase. It is usually not something that is done on the fly. If you have been thinking about a new (to you) car lately, your tax return may be the key.

  • Tax refunds, especially those in the thousands, make for great down payments on used cars. Such an amount would take a hefty chunk out of the price right from the get-go.
  • A car is a useful item, and tax returns are special, so you would not have to worry that you are wasting your refund on meaningless items.
  • If your credit history is not looking good, spending your tax return on a used car is a great way to kickstart the credit rebuilding process.

Follow these helpful tips when shopping for a used car.
