We teach a method on our site on how to get a car below invoice with out talking to sales people, but many people have a question about the test drive.

How can I test drive if I am supposed to do all the shopping via the Internet?

Well there are a couple of ways. First you could rent the car you want to buy. I have done it once and it saved me thousand because after the week rental was over I realized I didn’t really like the way the car drove. This is expensive and not for everyone.

So what I would do is make contact via the web and follow our methods and then once you have established contact with the “Internet” division you can ask for a test drive. 99% of the time the hard sell will not come after the test drive. The Internet division of the dealership will be so busy, if you don’t buy today someone else will…

Check out this Q/A on edmonds.com which supports my advice.

you should contact the Internet manager at a dealership and say that you want a test drive only. In most cases, Internet managers will allow you to test drive the car without doing the “hard sell” on you.

Are you thinking of buying a 2007 Toyota Prius, well if so you should really read this review on cars.com. You will find a lot of great information to help you in your possible purchase.

The Prius has been praised for bringing hybrid technology to the masses, but many have criticized its real-world gas mileage, which is nowhere near EPA estimates. I averaged just 34 mpg in a 104-mile week of frugal, A/C-free driving. That’s a far cry from the car’s window sticker, which reads a lofty 60 mpg in city driving and 51 mpg on the highway.

According to the AP the Toyota Prius is the number one hybrid car on the road today.

The Prius gets 60 miles to the gallon in the city and 51 mpg on the highway. With numbers like that I can see why this car is so popular. Gas prices are ridicules and this type of technology helps to ease the pain at the pump.

The Honda Civic Hybrid comes in a second with 49 mpg in the city and 51 mpg highway.

I have seen commercials running about this promotion and also they say they will finance almost anyone… sounds like a pitch to those with less than perfect credit. Ford must be in a touch spot….

Ford will be offering 60 month, zero percent interest financing deals on its entire 2006 pickup line. These new financing incentives will also extend to the new 2007 F-series Super Duty and Ranger pickups. For the 2007 vehicles you can get a 60 month loan at a very low interest rate of 2.9% or you can opt for the $2,000 cash back rebate on these 2007 models.
