New car negotiations

If you have multiple things to agree on, wait until you’ve discussed each one before making a final decision. For example, when buying a car, you have to negotiate not only the price of the car, but you may have to discuss the date the car will be ready and the warranty coverage as well. You might agree to a price but be dissatisfied with the warranty coverage. If you already agree to buy the car before you discuss the warranty coverage, you lose some of your leverage. However, if you haven’t agreed to the sale and the warranty question comes up, you can threaten to walk away from the entire negotiation process. Even if the salesperson can’t do any better with the warranty, he or she might instead be able to lower the price or add another option to the car.

California Bans Cell Phone Use While Driving

The new law will go into effect on July 1, 2008. I guess I am ok with this new law?

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will sign a bill today that bans handheld cell phone use while driving. California will be the fourth state to put such a ban in place.

Fines for breaking the new law will be $20 for the first offense and
$50 every time after, but none of the tickets will impact the driver’s
insurance. Many cars sold today feature their own built-in hands-free
devices, and we’d expect that by July 2008 many more vehicles will come
with the technology standard.

Dealerships unsafe for women

Auto Dealerships are unsafe places for all consumers! But yes I can see how dealerships can be especially tough place on women. This blog list some really great resources for women to learn about cars and the buying process.

Any women who wants to level the playing field and try a method to get a great car at or below invoice they should check out my free 23 minute video I put together. This method is color and gender blind.

In the 21st century, is it still such an awful experience for women to shop for a car?
