Your Pennsylvania dealers understand that Halloween is all about fun, candy and ghouls. But all of that fun can go down the drain if somebody gets hurt tonight. That’s why your Pennsylvania dealers are offering these tips taken from AAA to help you and your little ghosts and goblins enjoy the night in a fun and safe way.

Use Costumes that are Highly Visible
If you have already chosen the costume for your little trick-or-treater, it might be too late to have them dress in bright, visible colors. Either way, you can still add some reflective tape to their costumes and their treat bags or buckets so drivers can see them at night.

Review Traffic Safety with Your Children
The excitement of free candy could make your children forget about traffic safety. Before letting them go out (and even if you’re with them), make sure they know the basics: look both ways before crossing the street, only cross at corners, avoid walking between two cars, etc.

Go to Places You Know
With sexual predators and other demented people in the world today, having a fun and safe Halloween means going to safe places. This means going to your neighbors that you already know and any schools or businesses that are handing out candy. Who knows? Your local Toyota dealer near Conshohocken may even be handing out candy. While you’re there, you might even get a “treat of a deal” on a new or used car this season.

Follow these and other common sense tips and your family should be able to have a fun and safe Halloween!

Your PA car dealers in Conshohocken and other nearby cities want to warn drivers that the repo man is out and he’s in full force. With the recent economic crisis and other factors, many car owners are foregoing their car payments in order to pay other bills.

This particular story takes place in nearby New Hampshire. People can’t make their auto loan payments lately and they are getting their vehicles repossessed. In the last two years, the repo rate has slowly increased. Fortunately, many banks and financing companies are also being more lenient with their customers to afford them extended opportunities to make payments.

That makes financial sense, though. Banks need these payments whether they are late or on-time. If they repossess the cars, they have a used car that has depreciated and no money coming in.

In terms of numbers, repossessions nationwide increased about 10 percent between 2006 and 2007. That means about 1.5 million cars were taken out of driveways in 2007, according to Thomas Webb, a chief economist. Webb also predicted that number would go up by another 10 percent once all of the 2008 figures are in.

The moral of the story is this: Go ahead and finance that new or used car with your local Toyota dealer. Just be sure you have plenty of money to make the payments on it before signing on that dotted line.
