Do I Qualify For 0% Financing?

    Do I qualify for 0% Financing? This is a question I get asked all the time, especially with GM's 72 Hour 0% Finance Sale.

    There are a few things GMAC or other lenders will look at when granting 0% interest on a loan. They will see if you have had a car loan before and how you paid. If you were late 10 out of 20 payments, it may be hard to get 0% interest. They will also look at Mortgage Payments as well to see how you paid. That is the 2 main factors when figuring 0% interest. There are other things to consider as well that are a little more complex.

    The Lender will look at how much you are financing compared to how much you make. You will not get a $40,000 car if you make $1500 per month. This is common sense, you must be able to afford the auto.

    Even though you are getting 0% interest on your car loan, you can still negotiate the price of the car. The fastest and easiest way to get the VERY BEST PRICE is Get quotes from Yahoo! Autosbecause their service is FREE and will insure you get the best price possible. Local dealers will Fight, I mean Compete, for your business!

    The Lender will also look at how much you are financing compared to how much the car costs. If you have major Negative Equity, it may be hard to get 0% financing. If you have $15000 Negitive Equity to roll into the car you are buying, the lender may want you to take the Rebate instead of 0%. Most lenders will finance 115% to 125% of MSRP. On the high end using 125%, a $30,000 car would finance a maximum of $37,500. If you are $10,000 upside down, you would have to pay $2500 down or use the rebate instead of 0%.

    The Finance Company will also look at your Credit Score. Usually a Credit Score of 750+ will grant you 0% automatically even if you are carrying a little more negative over to the car you are buying. A credit score above 650 will get you 0% financing if you are not financing too much over MSRP. A score below 650 could get you 0% depending on Down Payment, Past Credit History, etc. The lender is more interested in the structure of the deal. They LOVE to see Money Down. The Finance Company likes to see 10% to 20% down payment on all loans. When there is an initial investment on the car from the buyer, the loans are more secure because the buyer is invested in the car.

Learning About GMAC Auto Loans

    Learning About GMAC Auto Loans
    By Jeffrey Meier

    Dont miss GM's 72 Hour Sale!

    The process of purchasing a car has become more and more taxing over the years because the economy as a whole has become so expensive. It is almost an impossible prospect to purchase a car with cash, so an auto loan is the primary option for most. If financing a car is your only option of purchase, then why not make your transaction as quick and easy as possible? GMAC tries hard to make your transition to car ownership as simple as possible with GMAC Auto Loans. Want to know more? Read on!

    Who is GMAC?

    GMAC Financial Services is "a global, diversified financial services company." As a subsidiary of General Motors Corporation, GMAC originally functioned as a financial assistance program for auto dealers who wanted a larger selection of automobiles on their lots but did not have the cash to pay for more than just a few. Over time, GMAC's financing options expanded beyond assisting the dealers and moved into customer financing. And today we have a new financing system that assists prospective auto owners in driving a car now that they can pay for conveniently in their own time.

    As the years evolve, so does GMAC, and now they provide the widest variety of auto financing options available to the public. While GMAC offers a number of packages for all areas of consumerism, including businesses and brokers, in this article we will focus on personal loans for the everyday consumer.

    Personal GMAC Auto Loans

    The two types of personal loans we will focus on in this article are GMAC Auto Loans for Vehicle Financing and GMAC Auto Loans for Vehicle Leasing.
    Vehicle financing is one of the original ways that GMAC began the "rent to own" process of purchasing a vehicle. Under the umbrella of the vehicle financing process is traditional retail financing and Smart Buy. Traditional retail financing is what most people expect when going to purchase a car. This style of financing is defined as "an installment sale transaction between you and your dealer whereby you agree to pay the amount financed, plus an agreed upon finance charge, over a period of time."

    GMAC gives its prospective buyers guidelines to determine if traditional retail financing is the right choice for them. They explain that if you plan to drive your car for more than a few years and you consistently drive well over 15,000 miles a year, or even if you plan to alter the vehicle (change the paint color, add new wheels, change the interior), and most importantly, if the car you're financing is the one you intend to own, then traditional retail financing is probably the right choice for you. Most people in this day and age go directly to GMAC to finance their car; however, you are able to go through your bank or credit union as well.

    Smart Buy is the second type of vehicle leasing available through GMAC Auto Loans. Smart Buy is also a program that allows you to eventually own your vehicle, however monthly payments are typically lower than those of traditional retail financing. How is this possible? Because GMAC takes a fraction of each monthly payment and moves them all to the end of the contract, combining them into one lump sum that will be paid in something called a "balloon payment." The benefit of the Smart Buy financing option is that if you don't have or don't want to pay the balloon payment at the end of your contract, you can simply return the vehicle and pay a smaller disposal fee, which includes mileage and excess wear charges. Also, you have the option of selling the vehicle yourself at your own price allowing you to possibly profit if you sell it for enough to cover your outstanding balance. However, you are only allowed a limit of 15,000 miles per year with Smart Buy, so if you're not sure you can manage this; Smart Buy may not be right financing option for you.

    While vehicle financing is good for some, leasing may be the best option for others. Auto leasing is defined under GMAC Auto Loans as "an agreement between the owner of the property (lessor) and the user of the property (lessee) for the use, (rental), of property, (leased vehicle), subject to the stated terms and conditions in the lease agreement which detail both the length of time and the agreed upon payment." This means that you are basically participating in a long-term car rental process.

    The major difference between vehicle financing and vehicle leasing is that you won't have the option of owning your car. Typically vehicle leasing monthly payments are cheaper than those of vehicle financing because you are committing to give your car back at the end of your leasing term - which provides the option to drive a very nice car for the same monthly payment as an "okay" car that you would be financing to own. For those who are not interested in driving the same car for more than 2 years and don't plan to make any alterations, then leasing is probably the best option for them - but again, you must do your research before making such a monetary commitment.

    Through GMAC Auto Loans you have available three different leasing options: SmartLease, SmartLease Plus and Low Mileage Lease. SmartLease is the standard leasing option from GMAC where you have monthly payments to cover the car's value, plus a rent charge, taxes and fees. SmartLease Plus expands the lease to help you avoid monthly payments (contact GMAC for more information). And the Low Mileage Lease benefits those who drive under 12,000 miles per year with lower lease payments. However, before choosing this option you must make sure that you won't go over your 12,000 miles to avoid being charged for excess mileage.

    On the GMAC website you will find a wonderful FAQ section that offers plenty of advice on the best financing or leasing options for you when considering GMAC Auto Loans. Also, you should speak directly with a dealership representative to get all of the facts about the perfect car and perfect loan before making any commitments. If you can do all of the appropriate research necessary on GMAC Auto Loans, then you'll be moving in the right direction and will be only months, weeks, or even days away from the car of your dreams.Source URL: http://ashesgarrett.blogspot.com/2008/06/

GM Falling Into The Shadows?

    Originally uploaded by Lawrence Whittemore

    Ford Motor Company has sparked sales with Employee Pricing and Huge Rebates, but where is the General?

    General Motors has gone from taking the lead, to wait and see. In this business climate that may not be a bad idea. General Motors is offering special sales on New Cars at strategic times of the year. They will most likely have a 4th of July sale soon that will last a specific amount of time. I guess this is a good plan because when you tell a customer a sale will end at such and such date, it does. On the other hand, customers wait on these dates to purchase New Cars.

    Value Pricing is GM's Moto! It is similar to the Saturn way of doing business. The margins for dealers have gone down to be competitive in the new Internet age of doing business. A customer that purchased a GM car a couple years ago does not believe you when you tell them there is no mark up in the New Cars. A few years ago, you could give $2000-$3000 discount off certain vehicles where it is now $400-$500. It is a better system for customers because they are getting a better deal out of the gate, but convincing of that fact proves to be difficult.

    A Car Salesman is made out to be a liar and a cheat when in all reality most are honest family men and women providing a service to make a living. Most customers will lie to a salesman more than a salesman will lie. Lets be honest with each other. A salesman will help you get a Great deal if you will just be honest. Tell them where you need help. Whether it be in your trade, financing, payment, or whatever. Tip your Car salesman to help you out. Remember this, an average salesman sales 10 cars per month and the commission on most New Cars is $100. Would you stand in the heat, cold, rain for $1000 a month.

Components Of Car Insurance

    The Components of Car Insurance
    By Rakesh Gaikwad

    Car Insurance is a necessity in today's world if you drive and own a car. Driving on the roads even one day without car insurance is taking a risky chance and can put your finances in serious jeopardy. Car insurance is a premium you pay an insurer to cover you, the damages to your car and third parties in the event of an accident. Car insurance protects you if the other party does not have insurance or cannot pay for the damages in full.

    Liability insurance policies cover the damages and injuries to others involved in an accident if you are to blame. This is generally the basic policy the law requires you to acquire to be legally allowed to drive. Liability coverage consists of bodily injury coverage per person, bodily injury coverage per accident and property damage coverage per accident. The drawback of liability insurance is that it does not cover you or the damages and repairs to your vehicle. It is recommended that you should get more than just liability coverage when looking for an ideal car insurance policy for yourself.

    Collision policies for car insurance cover your repair bills in the event of a road accident. This is the most expensive policy for car insurance. Insurance companies do not want to pay for the repairs if the costs exceed more than the actual value of the car. In such cases insurers deem the car a total loss and will cover instead the value of the car since it turns out to be the cheaper option. Comprehensive car insurance policies cover damages besides accidents such as fire, theft, vandalism and natural disasters. It is essential to figure out the different aspects of the policy you're signing such as the conditions of the policy, the supplemental payments, deductibles, coverage, declarations, rating, liability, premium and the exclusions.

    In order to obtain a cost effective car insurance policy its best to check out a number of different quotes to figure out what is available in the market and where you're getting the best deal. Do your homework and check out the reputation of the insurer by asking family and friends and who they choose to get insured by. It is also recommended to sustain a sound driving history. If the insurance company is able to see the evidence that you're not likely to get into an accident, they will provide you with some sort of discount. Most insurers require a standard of no accidents or speeding tickets in the past five years to obtain such a discount. If you already have one car insured by a company or have other insurance policies such as home insurance then it is a good idea to inquire with that insurer to get a good multi policy deal. If you tend to use fewer miles per year you may be able to qualify for an insurer's low mileage discount.

    If you own an expensive car, it is much more difficult to get a good deal on a car insurance policy. Insurance companies know it will be expensive to cover an extravagant car if it is written off or damaged in an accident. Insurers also do regular research on statistics for the most frequently stolen vehicles and the cars that attract the most thefts. If your car is listed as such a risk, it will be hard to obtain a discount in this case. Buying a low profile and low maintenance car which will ensure you a deduction of premium. Enhancing your vehicle with safety and security features such as air bags, anti-theft details, automatic seatbelts, and anti-lock breaks, will also help you save money when determining the premium for your car insurance policy. Where you live also determines the amount you will be paying for car insurance. If you live in a small rural safe community your car is not likely to be stolen as opposed to living in a big metropolitan city.

    An accident can happen any time and when you least expect it. So be prepared by maintaining insurance records and current up to date photographs of your vehicle, which you will need for making a claim. It is also beneficial to plan ahead when investing in a car and get your money's worth.

Owe Too Much On Trade - Negative Equity - Upside Down

    Everyone that has ever purchased a car and traded another that there was a balance on has heard one of these phrases. "You are Upside Down," "You have Negative Equity," "You owe more on your Trade than it is worth."

    Let me first explain what Negative Equity is and how to help reduce this Upside Down aspect of a car deal. Negative Equity is simply owing more on your Trade than it is worth. When you trade with Negative Equity, you are obviously going to have Negative on the next Trade In. It is a ripple affect that keeps following you. You had $3000 negative on your trade, now you have $8000 negative the next time, etc...
    Also, let me say, you are NOT alone! We are in an age when nobody wants to put money down, and wants the lowest payment possible--stretching their contract out to 72 months and even 84 months with some banks.

    The VERY FIRST thing to make sure you eliminate some negative is to MAKE SURE you get the best deal possible on the car you are buying. You have to visit Yahoo! Autos and get a FREE CAR QUOTE on your car of choice. It is a FREE service so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. You fill out a short form with the vehicle of your choice, some contact info, and choose all the dealers in your local area to give you a quote on this vehicle. They will fight for your business and you will not believe what prices you will receive. This is by far the best advice because the lower the price you buy for, the less negative you will take with the car.

    Next, You want to put money down if at all possible. Customers have this illusion that money down goes in the dealers pockets. NOT! This is your initial investment that will lower your amount financed and lessen the negative right out of the gate. Also, pick a shorter term of financing. If the payment is too high, pick a cheaper vehicle! Do not finance for 72 months--do 60 months MAX! If you have already done a 72 month contract, pay extra every month. Pay $50, $100, even $200 extra per month. You will eventually get your vehicle down to what it is actually worth.

    Remember, Cars Depreciate! If you choose long term financing, do not put money down, they will Depreciate faster than you can pay for the car.

Green Cars - A Brighter And Cleaner Future


    Back to the Future

    Green Cars - A Brighter and Cleaner Future
    By Fei Lim

    More and more cars are on the road every day, and it is estimated that more than a billion cars will be on the roads by the year 2020. With more and more cars hitting the roads each year, many people are beginning to look for greener options for their vehicles; in fact, governments are even beginning to put pressure on car manufacturers to develop cars that are friendlier to the environment. While in the past green cars were something that most people only dreamed about, today there are a variety of options available for those who are looking for a car that is environmentally friendly.

    Several Different Technology Choices
    Today as more and more people become environmentally conscious, there are a variety of greener alternatives that are beginning to show up in show rooms in the United States and even in Europe. For those looking for a car that runs green, there are now several different technology choices to consider, including alternative fuels, battery cars, and of courses the ever popular hybrids.

    Alternate Fuels - Perhaps the most futuristic technology when it comes to vehicle propulsion is alternative fuels used in fuel cells, which actually happens to be the cleanest form of vehicle transportation. Several car manufacturers are investigating hydrogen powered vehicles as well as cars that are powered by ethanol instead of gasoline. Vehicles with fuel cells have great potential, although it has not been fully explored. In the past infrastructure for these fuels have been a barrier to their product, but Honda has recently opened a station in California that actually is a hydrogen fueling station. Their goal is to show how alternative fuels can perform, offering consumers a new way to look at transportation.

    Battery Cars - Another type of technology that is employed when it comes to green cars is the electric battery. Actually battery cars have a long and extensive history, and they have been researched for some time. However, it has only been recently that they have shown to be viable in the mass vehicle market. As battery technology continues to improve, more cars are being introduced into the market with battery technology. There are many green advantages to battery operated cars, including great energy efficiency and no pollution; however, until recently they have been very limited, both in speed and electric charging.

    Hybrids - When it comes to cars that are friendly to the environment, the most popular and promising technology is the hybrid technology. Hybrids are unique, in that they use electric motors and an internal combustion engine as well. Fuel efficiency is boosted, since the electric motor can take over and help to lower the usage of fuel. Since the electric motor offers support, the gasoline engine is a lot smaller and much more efficient as well. In fact, in parts of travel, the gasoline engine may shut down altogether. The energy from the gas engine also helps to charge the battery, so you don't have to worry about recharging it, like you have to with electric battery cars, and the emissions are significantly lower than other gas powered vehicles. Probably the two most popular hybrid cars on the market today include the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight.

    Greener Cars for 2007 and 2008
    Today there are a variety of options available when it comes to green cars. There are far more options than there were a few years ago. So, let's take a closer look at some of the cars that have the best green performance in 2007 and 2008.

    One of the greenest cars out there on the market today is the Toyota Prius. This car has a pair of electric motors along with a four cylinder engine. The Prius has the best fuel economy of any mass market car in the United States. The Honda Insight is fairly close to the Prius as well, and also has a lot to offer. You'll also find that another great car for the environment is the Smart For Two car. It is a small car that only needs a very small motor - a 3 cylinder engine, which gets about 33 mpg around town. The Nissan Altima Hybrid is also an excellent car which is friendly to the environment and is tuned to get great fuel economy in the city.

    Of course these are just a few of the environmental cars that are now available on the market for purchase. It is easy to see that the technology around greener vehicles is ever expanding, and no doubt in the next few years, you will continue to see great strides made in this area of technology as well.

Stolen License Plate - Stealing Gas From The Pumps

    There has been a warning put out by law enforcement to check and make sure your License Plate is still on your car. There have been unscrupulous drivers stealing plates and using them on their car to steal gas at the pumps!

    I realize along with everyone else reading this that gas is getting out of hand, but there is a fine line there. If it gets to the point you have to steal gas and get someone else in trouble, that is too much!

    Make sure from time to time your tags are still on your car. If this event happens and your plates are used, guess what? The police will come knocking on your door to see whats going on. So, just be aware.

    Also, if you trade your car in, make sure you get the plates off your trade in. They may be expired, but still request the salesman to take them off for you. This will help avoid any wrong doing going on with your name attached to it.Source URL: http://ashesgarrett.blogspot.com/2008/06/

Increase Technorati Authority; Exchange Technorati Blog Authority

    First let me tell you what Technorati Authority is and why it is important to bloggers.

    Technorati Authority is one of the main gauges of a blogs popularity and advertisers use this number to figure how much to pay you. So, if you increase your authority, you can increase your search engine rankings along with your advertising revenue you may receive or will start to receive if done properly.

    Technorati describes authority as the number of blogs ranking ahead of you. If you have a ranking of 250,000-this means at least 250,000 blogs have more authority than you. Authority is the # of blogs that link to your site in the past 180 days. It does not matter if a site mentions you 100 times, it still only counts as 1. It will extend your 180 day period though.

    If you want to participate in the Technorati Exchange program, here is how it will work. You write a similar article on your blog describing how Technorati Authority is figured and link to this site at the end of the post--http://buyanauto.blogspot.com Use the site address in a link form so that Technorati will pick it up as a mention. Leave me your site address in the comments section of this post and I will link to your site as participating in the Exchange quest. Others can follow the link to your site and leave a comment in your post to exchange links. This will give everyone more authority and take us up the ranks in Technorati.Source URL: http://ashesgarrett.blogspot.com/2008/06/

    About the Chrysler 300C
    By John Eva

    They say that if you want to make a long lasting impression then you should make an impression during the first time. Indeed, the Chrysler 300C was bale to make a big scene upon its release. In fact, in a street where there is a wide array of vehicles, you won't find it hard to spot this model in an instance because of sophisticated look that would draw your eyes to look at it.

    The Chrysler 300C is the performance version of the 300 but with a Hemi V8 and it is powered by an automatic transmission. Its engine is competent enough in shutting down valves and fuel injectors for vacant cylinders. This is especially helpful to preserve gas during operation which set this model apart from other vehicles on the road because of this unique feature which save fuel therefore helping the owner in their expenses an the whole economy as well. It is also mounted with 18' wheels and SmartBeam headlamps that come standard that is a kind of headlight that perform better than the usual kind of headlight to augment visibility most specially when driving in a darkly lit areas like night time driving or when there is a harsh weather condition. Also for the occupant's safety, the Chrysler 300C is also fitted with four-wheel-disc antilock brakes that will stop the vehicle precisely on the right moment when the brake pedal is pushed therefore reducing the risk of bumping to the vehicle located in front of yours. Furthermore, the traction control and an electronic stability control system is also used.

    Mounted with chrome-plated door handle that opens up an interior that is stylish and appetizingly clean, you will feel relaxed all throughout your ride. Its dash and door panels are two-tone, the lowers is highlighted with taupe to lend an airy feel while on the other hand the upper part is in deep green hue. The panels that house the information screen are completely readable and it is finely crafted along with the tach and the speedometer. As most people would say, owning the Chrysler 300C will give the feeling of 1960s style when you look at the dash's satin-silver finish that is created in perfect rectangular shape. It also features an analog clock just at the top of the center vent as well as an LCD display at the bottom which the company calls as the Navigational radio. Comfort is also given because of its AM/FM tuner, MP3 player, 6-disc CD system, and DVD-based navigation system. Moreover, the Chrysler 300C is fitted with comfortable seats as well as huge space cabin that will permit you to move around to get the position that you want while taking the ride. Its climate controls are simple yet classy because of its minute chrome accents on the knobs and plain pictograms for the ventilation modes.

    Buying old model of the Chrysler 300C is a good idea particularly in terms of financial aspect since by buying this kind, you can free yourself from the abrupt depreciation rates that happen with brand new vehicles. This is especially good news for those people who would want to ride a vehicle minus the huge amount of money that will be spent if you go for a brand new. You won't have to worry about the quality of second-hand Chrysler 300C because all of its models were finely crafted to last for a long period of time so you can be sure that although it is old, quality is still there. Indeed, it is a real value for money! Its performance, road charisma and luxury seek to the levels of big European sedan at a lesser price!

Car Leasing Myths Debunked

    Car Leasing Myths Debunked
    By Sarah Dinkins

    Much is said about car leasing and, being an expert financial consultant, it usually makes me angry and frustrated when half of what I read or hear is completely false. No wonder why people have the wrong idea most of the time. It is very difficult not to feel influenced by bad publicity when you are researching online, looking up information on financial products. But how to tell the difference between false and truthful advertising? Half of the time, it is very tricky.

    Car leasing has been a victim of negative publicity for a long time. By this I do not mean that leasing is free from disadvantages, not at all. But its bad reputation is not entirely justified and overly exaggerated. This article seeks to discredit the most common myths associated to vehicle leasing.

    Myth: Leasing Is Much More Expensive Than Buying
    This is not necessarily true, it depends mostly on how much time you desire to keep the vehicle for. If you have a clear picture in your mind of what you want to do, then both deals can be equally beneficial. What is a fact is that, normally, lease terms offer more benefits to the applicant than most auto loans.

    If you decide that what you want is to keep your car for many years after the loan is repaid, then buying would definitely be the best option for you. Leasing would force you to buy the car at the end of the lease contract, which would be far more expensive than buying it to begin with. On the other hand, provided that you like expensive cars you cannot afford, and enjoy changing the car model on a regular basis without having to go through the hassle of selling the it, then leasing is the option for you. In case you bought a vehicle only to resell it after two or three years, you would be losing money, as the asset decreases in value as time goes by.

    Myth: It Is Too Risky, I Will Probably Get Scammed
    Society is not characterized for being honest, this is a reality. And the financial world is not different. But you cannot assume that every single leaser out there is going to rip you off, that is just being irrational. There are many different ways to identify possible fraudulent leasers. As a matter of fact, there is one golden rule you must always follow: "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is". In other words, use your common sense.

    Myth: There Is No Way Out Of A Lease Contract
    This statement is simply not true. There are always ways out of a contract, but most of the time they are very unfavourable, to say the least. If you decide to terminate the lease contract before it is due, you will have to pay an early-termination fee, which will be extremely pricy. What can be done in order to avoid the early termination of the lease contract, is to transfer it to another person.

    As you can see, there are several car leasing myths which are not only false but also bad publicity. It is up to you to decide whether you are going to let them affect you or not.

Free Car Price Quote From Local Dealer

    I have the #1 Car Buying Tip of all time and it will not cost you one dime. This is a must if you are thinking of buying a new car. Everyone wants to find the invoice price of a new car on the internet, take it to the local dealer, and slug it out with them. Why not just find out who is going to sell the vehicle for the lowest price, period! There may be a dealer ready to make a deal that gives you a better price than invoice.

    Yahoo! Autos is the place you can pick from local dealers to get the best possible price. You simply fill out a short form with your contact information and wait on your price. The first page that comes up will ask what make and model car you want for your Free Price Quote and your zip code. The next page will ask a little more about the car like color preference, interior trim, and a comments section for anything else you may want on the auto.

    In the center of the page will have contact information. This is important because you want to get your price quote. Most of the time it will be emailed to you. If you get a phone call from the dealer tell them to email it to you so you have a printed copy of the Dealer Price. They already know you are shopping because of your request for a Free Price Quote. Believe me, this is the best way to get the Best Price! The dealers you pick will be fighting for your business and you can use this to your advantage.

    When you submit a request for your free price quote make sure to click all available dealers that are listed when it gives you the option to choose dealer on the right hand side. It may only give you one dealer if you are in a rural area or may give you 4 or 5 dealers to choose in other areas. Make sure all dealers have a check mark by their name so you can compare and get the Best Price on Your New Car. Even if there is a dealer listed that you know you dont want to buy from, get a price from them anyway! It may give you bargaining power with the dealer of your choice.

    Select Get Free Dealer Quotes and sit back and relax. You can also go back and submit on another brand if you are comparing other vehicles. For example, you may want Price Quotes on Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Nissan Altima. You would have to enter each seperately because it will only give you price quotes on one vehicle at a time and one brand. You can get more Free Price Quotes though, so knock yourself out and help your friends negotiate like a pro. Bookmark this page or send to a friend. Here is my goal: I help you save money, you send someone else to my site to save money, and in turn I get more visits so I can sell advertising on my site because I have lots of visitors.

2009 Chevy Camaro

    The 2009 Chevy Camaro is just around the corner! It will be coming to a dealer near you soon, dont miss this one! It is so bold yet so subtle with its curves and fine lines. It has a retro look, but a modern twist that is creating some serious buzz.

    I get the question very often, is Pontiac coming out with a Trans Am since the Chevy Camaro is coming? I regret to say, there are no plans at this time for the Trans Am to come back. But, you know if the Camaro is a huge hit what will happen. GM will have a Pontiac, GMC, Saturn, and maybe even a Buick version of the same car!

Mississippi Toyota Plant Pushed Back To 2010


    This is a recent photo of the new Toyota Plant in Blue Springs Mississippi. Rumors are that the plant opening has been pushed back to 2010 because top executives see a slow down in US Auto Sales.

    Car Sales in the US have changed in dynamics due to rising gas prices. Many factories are switching line workers from truck assembly plants to car assembly to meet increased demand in fuel effecient vehicles.

    The only way to lower fuel prices is to lower our consumption of oil. Many are urging drivers to car pool when possible, make one trip to post office-grocery store-etc., trade that gas guzzler if possible.

    Many are trying to trade their deisel's, big trucks, SUV's, and gas guzzling vehicles. But, are finding that nobody wants these vehicles right now and that has driven the price very low. The demand is down and so are the trade in values. You may find you owe way more than a dealer is willing to give you for the vehicle. In this case you have to figure is it worth trading or are you spending more digging out than you would spend on gas.

    Another option that many smart consumers are making is buying a cheap run around car that gets good gas mileage and parking that truck or SUV. Gas will go down at some point hopefully. Drive your gas saver for work and running around. Drive your SUV only when you have to.
