Many individuals find the car they want in classified used cars ads. You can, many times, negotiate with the owners and get very reasonable price. Typical the owners clean up the cars and make any repairs that will make the cars more saleable.

Some car owners just want to get rid of their car or truck. They will label their car, “for sale as is.” What that means is that if there are any problems or repairs that need to be taken care of, the owner is not responsible for making them. The person buying the car must accept the car regardless of it condition.

When you buy a car through classified ads from a private party, you will not have a warranty. Most cars sold by private individuals can’t afford to give a warranty, and you are expected to assume all the risks associated with buying that car.

However, there are some ads that are placed in the classifieds by used car dealer. These cars will typically have a 1 – 3 month warranty. This makes the buyers feel safe about that used auto.

Before you scan the classified used cars ads, you need to make a list of the type of car you want to purchase. The more details you can list about what you want to buy, the quicker you will be able to locate that vehicle in the classified.

Some owners have customized their cars before selling them to dealers or before posting them for sale in classifieds. These added features will increase the price car. If you like these features, you may get a bargain, but if you don’t then you may decide not to buy the car.

Since most car classified listings have limited description space, owner can use abbreviations to describe their car. The common abbreviations are WGN for station wagon, HB for hatchback, P/U for pickup truck, and XTRA CAB for two small seats or extra room behind the front seats.

To describe the conditions of the car, most car advertisers use abbreviations such as EX COND to mean excellent condition, G COND to mean good condition, CLN to mean clean or in good shape.

The Classified used cars ads also use A/C to refer to air conditioning system, S/R to men sunroof, MNRF to mean moon roof, LTHR to mean leather interior.

Many buyers are particular with the transmission of the used car. Car owners use STD or stick shift for standard transmission and use A/T for automatic transmission.

The best classified ads to look for are in the regional daily newspaper, if you want fairly used cars. If you want to check the used car classifieds, your selections are wide and varied. Most of the dealers who posted on used car classifieds section of the newspapers have a website for further viewing and specifications of the car being advertised.

From the hundreds of car ads on Classified used cars ads, narrow down your choices to the top 10. Divide these 10 into two groups. Contact the owners from the first list of five list of five, to set up an appointment. Take a mechanic friend to help you check out the car, or set up with an auto shop to inspect the car for you.

While doing your inspection, you should request to have a look at the car’s maintenance records. Some car owners do not keep good maintenance records, so you have to decide if this is acceptable to you. Even though a car appears in good condition and has a good feel when you drive it, always do a good inside and outside inspection.

Inspect the car underneath and all over for collision repair. Look for difference in paint color, lines that are not straight, or rust in various places. Check to make sure there are no fluid leaks. Move the car to another location and let it sit there for 5 minutes or so then check for leaks.

If you have found a car you like, then make an offer. Never offer the asking price. Start with the sentence, “What’s the lowest price you will take for the car. I notice that is has this problem and that problem?” Then follow up with the statement, “I have cash I can give you right now.”

In part 1 and part 2 of this article series, we have discussed how the reasons a person started smoking at an early age helped to build the psychological smoking mechanism. This mechanism begins to operate beyond conscious control because the smoker has long since forgotten why they started smoking. The first part of the process to remove smoking is to use special techniques to recall these early reasons. After that is done, it is time to look at the reasons a person continues to smoke.

It’s Hard to Smoke Each Cigarette

Smokers don’t consciously realize how hard it is to smoke. This is because the psychological smoking mechanism has faded into the Subconscious. It runs automatically each time a cigarette is smoked. The mind pushes all complex learned tasks into the subconscious. An example with which most people can relate is driving a car. When you first learn to drive, it is an almost overwhelming task. So many things to do, just to operate the automobile and then, you have to watch where you are going and what other drivers are doing! This is very stressful. However, eventually, all this fades into the Subconscious. It’s still just as hard, but it has become automatic so your consciousness isn’t overwhelmed. The same thing happens to the complex psychological smoking mechanism.

Still the difficulty of smoking is evident. If you look at the face of a smoker, you can see the strain each time they take a drag. The face tenses and the eyes usually squint. It’s the same facial expression a weight lifter has trying to lift a heavy weight. Yet, at the conscious level, the smoker has pushed this aside; it is ignored. However it is there with each cigarette and during the course of the day, the more cigarettes smoked, the more tired the smoker becomes. This is why, when a smoker manages to stop, they feel that they have so much more energy! It’s not that they have more, it’s that they’re not wasting it fueling the psychological smoking mechanism.

The Conscious Reaction to the Difficult Effort to Smoke Each Cigarette

Although the conscious mind ignores the extreme effort to smoke, it still registers at some level. This causes the smoker to feel the need to justify why they smoke. The next part of the process is to identify these reasons. Since these reasons are also faded into the Subconscious and not examined, special techniques have to be used to retrieve them. This is what The Unlearn Smoking Success System(tm) does in Part 2 of the program.

Smokers Really Don’t Like to Smoke

If you ask a smoker why they smoke, they will likely say, they like it. Yet, if you look at their behavior, it’s clear they don’t. For example, how many times have you seen a person smoking in their car in rainy weather, with the window rolled down to keep the cigarette away? With either the cigarette outside or the window cracked and the cigarette by the opening? If they liked it, why isn’t it in the closed car with them?

The truth is, most smokers don’t like smoking but the psychological mechanism they created years ago compels them to smoke. To justify doing what they don’t really like, they rationalize benefits of smoking. How can they do this?

By Association

It has been known since the early days of Psychology that by pairing things together, they become associated. The more emotion behind it, the stronger the association. For example, suppose your parents drive a particular model of car. Each time you see this car, you think of your parents. Even though it is not your parents and not their car; you have the association in your mind.

A smoker builds their catalog of rationalizations in the same way. Let’s examine a few of them.

To Reduce a Feeling of Anxiety or Nervousness

One of the rationalizations a smoker uses as to why they smoke is that it reduces a feeling of anxiety or nervousness. In other words, they claim it calms them down. But how can pulling hot, polluted smoke loaded with a stimulant deep into their sensitive lungs reduce anxiety or nervousness?

The answer is simple: It DOESN’T!

If you are a smoker and use this rationalization, it is an association from your WILL POWER suppressing the normal body defense reaction that allows you to smoke a cigarette. When you pull the smoke into your system, YOU are using your MIND to suppress or stop the normal coughing, choking and burning reaction to the hot polluted smoke from the cigarette entering your delicate lungs. You are WILLING yourself into a state of calm; calming down the body defense system.

So rather than the cigarette calming you down, you are doing it yourself as a side-effect so you can tolerate the cigarette. It’s not the cigarette, it is the association. YOUR MIND is doing this because you have commanded it to do so. Do you realize you can be calm and relaxed without the cigarette? YOU CAN!

The other reasons on the list that fall into this category are: to calm down when upset or angry, when feeling restless, as relaxation, to take a break from work, when feeling depressed, to celebrate something, and to think about a difficult problem. All these reasons, all these effects, are the result of you using your MIND to put a major calm on your body to tolerate the cigarette. You have given the cigarette benefits it didn’t earn. Benefits caused by your MIND!

While Having Coffee

Another reason people give for smoking has to do with eating or drinking. This again is a typical association that has nothing to do with the effects of smoking a cigarette. Doing a pleasurable thing makes you feel good; adding a cigarette brings in the super MIND over BODY calm that you have developed and enhances the good feeling. Once again, it is not the cigarette, this is the mechanism of body suppression that you have developed. Over time, rather than giving yourself credit for the results, you misdirect the credit to the cigarette.

Other pleasurable associations are: When having a drink with friends, after a meal, after sex and when drinking beer, wine or liquor. All of these actions make the body feel good from the relaxing effect of alcohol, the good feeling of satisfying your hunger, or the release of sexual fulfillment. The cigarette has nothing to do with these things. It is a normal body reaction to fulfillment that is enhanced by the super calm YOUR MIND imposes over your body so you can tolerate the cigarette. It is YOU doing this, NOT the cigarette!

Conclusion

Examining objectively the reasons a person gives to continue to smoke is a necessary part of the process to dismantle the psychological smoking mechanism. Using psychological techniques, a person is able to identify and examine these reasons. When they do so, they find that they are giving the cigarette benefits it didn’t earn. With each benefit they remove, the psychological smoking mechanism becomes weaker and the effort to smoke becomes greater.

If you don’t dismantle the psychological smoking mechanism, it will always be there urging you to smoke. This is why it is so hard to stop smoking just by quitting. This is why people quit and start smoking over and over. Get rid of the mechanism and you get rid of smoking. It’s a simple psychological fact.

The next article in the series will discuss why smokers ignore the serious health consequences of smoking.
