If you’re shopping for a car, you may already know that buying used is a smart move that greatly expands your choices. The key is knowing where to look for them.Buying a used car will not only save you money but also allow you to shop higher-end brands, says Ivan Drury, Edmunds.com’s senior manager of insights. For example, maybe you wanted a new Toyota Camry. Instead, he says, you can save about ,000 and get a 3-year-old Lexus.Because of the bankruptcy of Hertz rental car agency, along with the many cars coming off lease, there are a lot of used vehicles to choose from, says Jeff Huang, who attends auctions as the remarketing sales supervisor at Westlake Financial Services. “A good used car is a real value proposition — and there are definitely deals to be had,” Huang says.Shoppers looking for great bargains will find them in cars older than 7 years, says Mark Holthoff, used car editor at Klipnik, a website for used car enthusiasts. “That’s because the depreciation curve has mostly been flattened,” he says. For example, a 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, costing ,000 new, now sells for about ,000.Shop in the right placeNew cars are sold only by franchised dealers, but used cars can be purchased from a variety of sellers:Used car departments at new-car dealerships.Used car superstores such as CarMax.Online used car sellers such as Carvana, Shift and Vroom.Car rental sales lots.Independent used car lots.Private parties.Public auctions.You’ll typically find the newest and more expensive models at new-car dealers’ used-car lots, the only place to turn if you want a certified car with a warranty and factory financing. Prices are likely to be higher than other lots’ but negotiable.National used-car chains such as CarMax, online retailers and rental car agencies also offer newer cars, often with factory warranty remaining. You can also get a loan and buy extended warranties. Prices are typically no-haggle.Independent lots, private parties and public auctions typically deal in older or cheaper cars. The upside is that you may find a 20-year-old one-owner cream puff, cheap. It does happen. But most cars have had several previous owners, and a checkered past is not rare. Plus, you’ll have to arrange your own financing.Adjust your expectationsThere is a built-in risk-versus-reward element to used car shopping: The more you’re willing to spend, the less chance the car will need repairs and overdue maintenance. Here’s an overview of the three price levels of used cars:High-end used cars: If your budget is over, say, ,000, you might consider getting a certified pre-owned (CPO) car from a dealer. Shopping for a CPO car is easier because it’s pre-inspected and comes with an included warranty. While you’ll have to pay a premium, you’ll also be able to buy a car with more modern technology and safety features. Of course, you can always buy a non-CPO car and purchase an extended warranty.Midrange used cars: A sweet spot for used car buying is a 3-year-old vehicle coming off a lease. Many of these cars will sell for 40% of their original price and still retain a new-car feel, according to Drury. Another source of near-new bargain-priced vehicles is car rental lots. According to an iSeeCars analysis, Hertz vehicles are selling for an average of ,389 below market value.Older used cars: Many people are afraid that cars from 7 to 15 years old will require costly repairs. But Holthoff points out that new cars can effectively cost the owner ,000 a month in depreciation.“You might have to spend money on a repair, but depreciation is a constant,” he says.To offset repairs, set aside 0 a month so sudden mechanic bills won’t deplete your savings.It’s best to buy older cars from private-party sellers because you can get a better idea of the mechanical condition, Holthoff advises. A used car dealer will show you the vehicle history report, but a private party might have the service records and can answer many other questions.Look for unexpected valueThe used car market is vast and, if you can spot an outlier, you can save big money. Here are a few examples of how to find that diamond in the rough:Cars that haven’t been recently redesigned will sell for less. Check car sites such as Edmunds.com to find out when the last time major changes were made to a model.While there is a stigma to buying a used rental car, the vehicles are well-maintained and priced lower than buying from dealers, Drury says.If a car dealer’s vehicle history report shows you are looking at a former rental car, leave and buy a similar one directly from the rental agency’s sales lot. You’re likely to find it cheaper.Be willing to travel to an area where the car you want is less popular. For example, all-wheel-drive vehicles sell for less in the southern U.S., where winter driving isn’t a factor.Be willing to travel to a more competitive market. A Honda dealer with a city to itself has less pressure to dicker on a CPO vehicle than a dealer in a city with three or four rivals.Used luxury cars often offer the biggest savings, according to Holthoff. The money you save on the purchase can be used if any repairs are needed.More From NerdWalletDon’t Fall for COVID-19 Student Loan Relief ScamsGet Your Finances Ready to Refi Student Loans5 Reasons It’s Smart to Lease a Car Right NowPhilip Reed is a writer at NerdWallet.

In an industry where worker’s knowledge and know how could mean the difference between life and death, hands-on training for EMTs isn’t what it used to be.“This is the first class that has had the entire course during the COVID pandemic,” said Patrick Dibb, lead EMT professor at Santa Ana College in Southern California.Dibb, a former fire chief, says coronavirus concerns have changed how future first responders are being educated.“I wouldn’t say it’s as good as it was prior,” Dibbs said.Not as good, Dibb says, because most EMT training has moved from in-person to online. During the pandemic, Santa Ana College now has one hands-on training session per semester.“Our ambulance companies and our emergency departments that the students are required to attend at least 24 hours of have not allowed us to return to those facilities until the COVID is clear,” Dibb said.Despite less hands-on training, there’s still a growing demand for this type of work and students like Coral Lucas are helping fill what experts say is a nationwide shortage of EMTs.“I feel like there’s more of an opportunity to get a job right now because we’re in such high demand,” she said.Part of the recruiting problem could be the pay. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, EMTs across the country make a median of an hour, leaving many people looking for other employment options during this pandemic.For students like Lucas, however, being on the front lines, even during a global crisis, is the place to be.“If I get sick and something happens, I’m at least doing something that’s helpful to others,” she said.But can these students actually help without any real-world experience?According to Dibb, yes.“The state of California requires an 80% on everything, and I’d say our students are meeting the 80% quota,” he said.“We expect them to come in with some basic knowledge, a foundation and then we build upon that foundation.”It's a foundation where training first responders online could become the new norm until there’s a vaccine. 2036

In a statement released Wednesday, Fox News president Jay Wallace says the network supports CNN's lawsuit to restore one of its reporters "hard" press passes.Wallace also said the network would file an amicus brief on behalf of CNN today."FOX News supports CNN in its legal effort to regain its White House reporter's press credential. We intend to file an amicus brief with the U.S. District Court. Secret Service passes for working White House journalists should not be weaponized. While we don't condone the antagonistic tone by both the President and the press at recent media avails, we do support a free press, access and open exchanges for the American people," Wallace's statement read.Fox News joins the Associated Press, Bloomberg, CBS News, First Look Media, Gannett, NBC News, The New York Times, POLITICO and the Washington Post. The E.W. Scripps Company, this station's parent company, also joined in filing an amicus brief on CNN's behalf."Whether the news of the day concerns national security, the economy, or the environment, reporters covering the White House must remain free to ask questions. It is imperative that independent journalists have access to the President and his activities, and that journalists are not barred for arbitrary reasons. Our news organizations support the fundamental constitutional right to question this President, or any President. We will be filing friend-of-the-court briefs to support CNN's and Jim Acosta's lawsuit based on these principals," E.W. Scripps said in a statement.ABC News also released a statement saying that the organization "stand(s) with CNN in believing that Jim Acosta should have his White House pass reinstated," though it's unclear if it also filed an amicus briefing. The White House pulled CNN reporter Jim Acosta's hard pass last week after an incident at a press conference in which a White House staffer tried to forcefully grab a microphone while Acosta attempted to ask President Trump follow-up question. Trump had repeatedly told Acosta he was moving on to another reporter.Though the White House maintains that it was simply revoking his "hard" pass and that Acosta could continually apply for daily passes, he has been denied daily passes multiple times since the incident.On Tuesday, CNN filed a lawsuit against the White House, seeking the restoration of Acosta's hard pass on First and Fifth Amendment grounds. It's also seeking a preliminary injunction to allow Acosta to immediately resume covering the White House.A hearing on the lawsuit is scheduled for 3:30 ET Wednesday.  2596

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office is responding to criticism after she got her hair done inside a San Francisco salon, amid a citywide coronavirus restrictions on salons.A statement from her office acknowledges Pelosi and her staff relied on the information provided by someone at the salon about what was allowed by the new city regulations that went into effect last Friday, according to multiple outlets.The statement came after Fox News shared a video showing Pelosi inside the salon. Fox talked to the salon’s owner, Erica Kious, who told the news outlet, “it was a slap in the face” that Pelosi could go in and “get her stuff done” while the owner and others can’t work.Kious said it was an independent stylist who rents a chair from her."This business offered for the speaker to come in on Monday and told her they were allowed by the city to have one customer at a time in the business," Pelosi's Deputy Chief of Staff Drew Hammill said in the statement. "The speaker complied with the rules as presented to her by this establishment."The statement also says Pelosi wore a mask except for a brief time when she was getting her hair washed.The new restrictions in San Francisco say hair salons can operate outdoors, and that some procedures, like color and chemical treatments, still cannot be done. 1316
