"Favorite tricks of the car-dealer trade" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 01:31:39

Not all salesmen finance and insurance managers and dealerships are financial vampires -- or doing anything illegal. "For the most move. 95 percent of time they're not unscrupulous," says David Thomas editor at Cars com. The salesmen he contends are just trying to earn their commissions. Still a new car represents a big chunk of your money -- possibly the largest acquire next to your accommodate. There's no reason to expend any of it on inflated prices. Tricks of the tradeLearn to sight these common sales and pay tricks and you can call the dealer's go. arrive mines1. The lot2. The trade-in3. The finance and insurance officeLand exploit No.1: The lotBefore you set pay on the car lot you should know whether the car you be is in have how much it's selling for if the dealer receives incentives for selling it and what the demand for it is. The 'hot' carPopular vehicles can change above sticker price. But cars that undergo been sitting on the lot shouldn't command the asking determine. If the salesman refuses your lowball offer saying that the car sells above MSRP or manufacturer's suggested retail price tell him you know better. "If there's a car on the lot it's not in demand," says Jeff Ostroff president and founder of carbuyingtips com. If it was there would be a waiting enumerate for it he says. That said your furnish should fall in the ballpark of other offers. Find out how much your dream wheels actually sell for on sites such as KelleyBlueBook com and Edmunds com. Generally you want to start negotiating from the invoice price up not drink from the MSRP. You can research invoice amounts online at Kelley Blue schedule. Cars com and Edmunds com too. This figure shows what the dealer paid the manufacturer for the car minus any factory-to-dealer incentives and holdbacks for selling it."Invoice prices vary by region," says Thomas. But generally the invoice price you found online should hit pretty close to what the dealer paid for the car. He suggests asking the salesman. "If that's not what you paid how close can you come to that?"Research can be your best negotiating chip. If you know for instance that the dealer ordain alter $600 from a factory-to-dealer incentive you can say. "I saw on the (insert label of source) Web place that you're getting a dealer incentive. Can you cut me a break?"This is also a good measure to present quotes from other dealers. Quotes are easy numbers to come by as you can check inventories online telecommunicate hurry managers or get them from sites such as Carsdirect com. AutoUSA com or Car com. If the salesman can't make you a exceed offer then you experience a better broach awaits you elsewhere. arrive mine No. 2: The trade-inIf you have a car you plan to trade in don't offer this information until after you've settled on a purchase price for the new car. That way the salesman can't try to make up the difference on your approximate offer for the new car by giving you less for your trade-in. Don't lie. Simply displace discussion about a trade-in from the new car negotiation. If asked if you'll be trading in a car say you haven't decided yet says Thomas. When it comes time to negotiate a price for your trade-in be sure you know its Kelley color Book determine says Thomas. The dealer won't give you that amount he says but it gives you a be to work with. Better yet sell your old car yourself and get the most for your money. Land mine No. 3: The finance and insurance officeYou can score a negociate on your wheels only to furnish all the profit approve by buying insurance options paying for trumped-up fees and add-ons or paying too much on arouse. The inflated interest rateIf the finance and insurance manager tells you that your ascribe advance is too low to get advertised rates you should know whether he's right. Research your credit score before you ever set pay inside the office. At the very least getting your advance lets you know what kind of arouse rate to expect. At the very most it could save you from accepting a evaluate higher than you deserve. Order a copy of your credit inform more than a month ahead of time to change by reversal any mistakes that might depress your advance. You can get one free write a year from each of the main credit bureaus. Experian. Equifax or TransUnion by going online to annualcreditreport com or calling (877) 322-8228. If you corrected several study errors analyse your credit advance again before you head to the dealership. That way you'll have a current snapshot of your ascribe. No matter which scoring model the dealership uses your advance should fall within 20 points of theirs says Ostroff. A advance of 680 or above is prime and should get you optimum rates. If it's between 600 and 650 evaluate to pay between 8 percent and 10 percent. If it's below 600 you may not get approved and below 550 no one ordain authorise you he says. You direct the most negotiating power if you bring in your own financing. Get pre-approved online or finance through a tip ascribe union or another financial institution. Then ask if the dealer can beat your rate. If they can't show the blank check from your lender and fill in the be up to the approved check. The great financing that isn'tReminiscent of the inflated arouse evaluate some financing packages can trick you because they appear good. Consider all the consequences. Perhaps you're offered financing with a low monthly payment but a give call that extends out to six or seven years. Or you are offered a great interest rate but have to alter a aviate payment at the end of the loan. Or after qualifying for zero percent arouse you have to make high monthly payments within a three-year period and lift over a hefty down payment. Is the broach really so great? Once again research pays off."obtain multiple offers ahead of time," says Eric Hoffman spokesman for AWARE or Americans Well-informed on go Retail Economics. That way you'll experience instantly whether the dealer offers a competitive finance case. bequeath to analyse the whole package. Don't just be at the monthly payment. Consider all the factors such as drink payment loan call and the APR. To compare offers use Bankrate's auto calculators. Also try negotiating the dealer's financing furnish. They may alter you a better broach. Overpriced insurance optionsYou're not legally required to displace gap or ascribe life insurance. Chances are you probably don't be them. Gap insurance pays the difference between the value of the car and how much is owed on it in the event it's wrecked or stolen. If you don't put drink 20 percent of the give you might be to believe it though says Ostroff. Assuming no down payment if your now-used car is worth $15,000 and you still owe $20,000 you'd undergo to fork over as much as $5,000. Gap insurance is a one-time cost of around $700. Those who can afford a large drink payment could probably skip the gap insurance and be fine he says. Or you can get it cheaper online for about $300. ascribe life insurance covers the balance in case you die before paying off the loan. If you decide you need it at least obtain around for better prices. Worthless add-onsDon't let anyone change you trumped-up extras such as rust-proofing fabric protectant. VIN etching and lifetime wax protection. According to Thomas and Ostroff these amenities have very little determine no matter what the salesman claims. The lifetime wax won't measure longer than any other wax job. New cars already come with rust-proofing. If you want fabric protection you can buy two cans of Scotchgard for $5 apiece and disperse the seats yourself. If these add-ons get written into the assure ask them to be removed says Ostroff. A prepaid maintenance intend might also prove worthless considering it usually just covers regular maintenance expenses such as oil changes and tire rotations. In other words the intend might cost more than the individual visits would. Unless you can discuss the price of the plan it's probably best to save the money you'd spend on it and put the funds toward those oil changes. The same goes for extended warranties. Essentially these are service plans that cover maintenance and ameliorate costs after the regular warranty expires but they only help you if you plan to keep the car past the original warranty's expiration. You can always buy one later so don't get pressured into buying one before you leave the dealership. Real scamsAs mentioned earlier most tricks don't answer as scams. However the following ploys stoop so low we feel they deserve the label. Financing fell through: The cheat goes desire this. You signed the contract and drove the car home. Days later one of two things happen. One the dealership calls back claiming that the financing fell through but that they could get you approved only at a higher rate this time. You'll have to go approve in and re-sign the contract -- and pay more money. Or the dealership calls back and tells you they got you approved for a displace rate but you'll undergo to go approve in and re-sign the contract. Either way it's that little "subject to financing" clause coming approve to haunt you."If you can go and get approved online in 30 minutes and the dealer has you waiting and later says it fell through -- it's a cheat," says Ostroff. Even if they claim they've lowered your monthly payment it just means they extended your give terms which means that you'll be paying more over the life of the loan. If you can't bring home the bacon something out with the dealer go the car get a refund and take your business somewhere else. To prevent this problem get your financing approval in writing and don't let anyone talk you into taking the car domiciliate until the loan is finalized. The e-lender snub: You show your analyse from an online auto lender and the dealer tells you they don't evaluate e-lender checks because they bound or take too desire to pay them. Ostroff says it's a lie. Dealers often can't beat the e-lender's rate so they say this to get you to pay through the dealer. Online lenders have been around for years he says so there's no be to such a claim. He advises telling the dealer to accept the check or you'll take your business elsewhere. Dealer didn't pay off balance on your trade-in's loan: Over the past couple of years. Ostroff's readers have been complaining of dealers that don't pay off existing loans on their customer's trade-ins even after verbally agreeing to do so. The problem is of cover unless the dealer has agreed in writing to pay off the old car give by a certain date the consumer remains responsible for that car give. One option is to not change in a car you owe money on. But if you must undergo the dealer put in writing that they ordain pay off your loan within 10 days says Ostroff.

"Oh dear, i give up...also, good morning, Vietnam!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-08 00:38:43

So i’m pretty much the most behind person that ever existed. Except for everybody else on this ship but i think i’m change surface more behind than a lot of them. For one thing i haven’t even finished my journal entry on China let alone uploaded the pictures or even thought about writing about Hong Kong or Vietnam at least they weren’t as interesting as lacquer but not that uninteresting. my executive decision has been to just go away over right here and now and return later one of the advantages of this plan is that nothing is in fact going on right now so i don’t really have anything to write about except that my tummy really really really hurts sometimes and i don’t experience why i won’t talk about it any more because i experience that you all don’t necessarily feel the same way about poop that i do conclude remove to ask later a fun thing that is happening is that (and you didn’t hear this from me) Katie one of the shipboard counselors who was an SAS student a few years ago showed me this awesome activity - when we’re in port and no one’s at the computers you can sometimes sight really entertaining emails that populate undergo just saved on the desktops and not deleted sometimes they’re pretty juicy!! yesterday i found a particularly sweet/scandalous set from a boyfriend that were all like “i can’t get a job! i did this yesterday i love you so much i can’t even believe how much i miss you or that i could miss someone so much also i owe my ex-girlfriend $400”). RATHER entertaining.

(once he told me that sadly he just wasn’t good with kids and then he told me he was doing the camp and i was like - well that doesn’t alter sense and he was like gotta start somewhere! he’s a really good guy and relatively shelter and not destructive compared to similar past situations that doesn’t really back up though.) sometimes i pretty much hate my life what’s interesting is that this whole trip both in country and on the displace is starting to.

"Veronica Mars: FBI" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 17:43:43

fan who went and bought the season three DVD set yesterday or experience someone who did or if you have seen the bonus material already somewhere then you'll experience what I'm referring to here. And if you haven't. I'd guess some YouTube user or clever poster somewhere may undergo the stuff ripped and uploaded before too long. I already watched the deleted scenes and bloopers (see the affix two entries below) and saw the webisode content on The CW's site. But I wanted to include some thoughts on what was totally new to me - the 'toughen 4 fling' that is also included in the bonus material. Rob Thomas and Dan Etheridge get into some (optimistic) detail about the possible concept/direction for the show in a fourth season and the presentation itself runs about 10-11 minutes of actual shot footage. My spew is cut below: The season four pitch hit me with a mixed reaction. The enthusiasm by Rob and Dan Etheridge was bittersweet since all the potential they thought they saw there was for naught. As for the show's continuation as Veronica Mars: FBI. I'm not sure how that would have made me conclude in the long run after seeing that 10-11 minute concept. I do think that the world of the engrave opens up so much wider with many more paths to choose for storytelling and I evaluate Veronica was comfort essentially Veronica as a person. However the idea of creating a whole new world of settings and characters in which she is immersed is a daunting task - probably as both a creator producing that world and as a viewer trying to adjust to the 'seismic alter' (Rob's words) in the little show that could. And I was one of those viewers who was all for this pitch hoping for any kind of extension for the series. But honestly. I'm not sure this would have been the same show anymore. desire begin Ostroff had been quoted as saying the communicate was almost looking for a way to keep Kristen and the engrave but in a brand new show. For me one of the primary draws to the show was the dynamic of the ensemble. Yes. Kristen carried the bring about as Veronica but the framework of the character and the mindset she carried was shaped and influenced so heavily by Keith and Logan and to lesser extents Wallace and Mac. It would be nice to somehow include Dick and Weevil somewhere too but in my object those first four supporting characters would have needed to appear somehow over the course of that S4 and I'm just not sure how that would be possible after such a huge change in the show. Keith could probably be worked in smoothly and perhaps Mac and Wallace could pop up once in a while or come about every other ep. I would worry for the ordain of Logan in this scenario though and since he is my favorite character that bothers me. Regardless of the 'shipper mentality. Logan became as much of a point of interest character-wise as Veronica herself. If his appearance was marginalized into a mini-arc or a one- or two-shot guest appearance. I assay to see the show's small but loyal fanbase being able to embrace it with the same devotion. Rob created a engrave that Jason managed to flesh out into an integral move of the ensemble and the loss of Logan as a recurring regular would be more than risky. IMO. Of course all of this is discuss since the series is done but I'd desire that any possibly hoped-for continuations by Rob (miniseries film comic etc.) would take into consideration which characters gave the show the fit it needed. I'm sure the storytelling would comfort be stellar if Rob was behind it no be who the surrounding direct was but separating Veronica from everyone that knows who she is or was would be a huge chance that a loyal fanbase may not appreciate no be how great the lead character is. Ok. I know I undergo S3 from Leg like you do - but can we add this to my stand (since my queue is at an all time low I think) Cause I would at least desire to see these features in their intended format and Megan is slowly killing my Leg made downloaded copies (seriously the child has watched them at least a dozen times). Matter of fact sometime before vacay next year I probably need new copies of all 3 seasons. And I love you more than butter - you experience that. (Is that enough sucking up? Cause I can go all day.) *muah*I haven't seen it yet but I accept with you since we have discussed this at length since the concept was first mentioned. I mean without Logan I for one would be just totally lost. And it's not that I didn't like Veronica - but did I desire her ENOUGH outside of KB to have that character anchor a show? Even if I did (which with you as a best friend I experience I would) it would feel tainted by the characters we lost. I don't know if I could ever acquire from the loss of Logan or the others for that matter. It's exceed they just left well enough alone. I can start working my way through making copies of all three sets for you along with HIMYM. You may want to shoot me an telecommunicate with a list of anything else though - TV or movie - since I may drop. You'll see once you check it but the amazing part about the S4 fling was how quickly it was created - from inception to compose writing to casting the characters to shooting and final editing/mixing - it took about 10-12 days. And it's stressed by Rob repeatedly in the commentary that these few scenes weren't necessarily going to be in the show but to answer as a type of template and command format concept of where the tone/call could be headed. While the whole thing was superbly put together and Kristen was appropriately polish and hilarious in it it just filled me with a huge sense of anxiety too. Had this actually been greenlit. Veronica Mars would be fundamentally altered and the shift may undergo been too drastic to accept for some - and I could have been one of the 'some'. Not sure. Again - you'll understand more of what I convey when you see it. Haha I so found this post from.. well I don't remember how exactly.. probably me just being bored on LJ. anyhow wish you don't think this is kinda weird.. but I really wanted to mention on this. I was one of the fans who were 100% against the idea of this attempt to carry back a beloved show by raping it of all it had been (especially after toughen 3 being such a week season) and having Veronica thrown into a brand new place with mark new peoples.. though after seeing this I was onlt 50% against it.. mainly because they could have made it bring home the bacon should they undergo done it alter... To do it alter they would undergo had to brought Veronica back to Neptune.. by assigning her to a inspect there or something this way we would get our old direct back and be able to filter in and out new people from the internship that Veronica is at to help V with the case... which could also bring back the season long mystery and as Rob said that he wanted to do carry back that season 1 feel and undergo those flashbacks again... wish I didn't mouth too much.. hehe... Don't worry about babbling. The longer the comment the better. I say - means you have more to talk and/or rant about. Fine with me. And you're not weird for going back to comment on a month-old entry. I've done the same myself if I stumble across an interesting LJ post that makes me be to add my own $.02. And I agree with your act on where that season four should undergo gone. Getting Veronica approve to Neptune would have been vital to maintaining a similar feel for the show and not having it be something totally new with just her as the bushel carry-over character. All along I had mixed feelings on the S4 air since I knew.

"Jensen interview, Jensen interview!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-19 14:57:22

The CW's Supernatural (Thursdays at 9pm/ET) is the little horror show that could. In a two-part interview. Jensen Ackles who plays the ruthless but somehow adorable older bro. Dean Winchester speaks with TV Guide about the "thrill go" of a third toughen details an off-the-set scuffle and change surface opens up about his usually deep-undercover personal life. TV Guide: Because of his broach with the Crossroads Demon to carry Sam back from the dead. Dean only has this year to live. That must suck. How will he be handling those dwindling days?Jensen Ackles: He'll act going out and having fun calling old flames to see if they want to go go 2.... He's not wasting any time. [Laughs] But at the same measure he knows there are populate out there who be help so he keeps in the reality of hunting. TV Guide: Will Sam keep trying to save Dean even though he knows he'll die if he does? That's a bad bind. Ackles: Right. I have to stop Sam from doing that. But he's comfort trying. In each script I read. I'm getting a little bit more nervous. TV Guide: Don't you experience what's going to happen?Ackles: I don't. They won't tell us. TV command: You seem to have evolved into a real sci-fi/challenge guy. You've done Dark Angel. Smallville some movies and now Supernatural. Is that cool with you?Ackles: It wasn't planned at all. I guest-starred on Dark Angel as Max's brother and died. I went out for a pilot that didn't get picked up and I went off to Europe where I got an e-mail that they wanted me back full time. Then I auditioned for the role of Clark Kent on Smallville. It got down to Tom [Welling] and me and they ultimately went for Tom which was the right decision. Two seasons later they called and said. "We've been thinking about you," and pitched me the role of Lana's boyfriend. I said. "Yeah that sounds cool."TV Guide: Were you happy with the way the role worked out?Ackles: It got a little tough in the middle of the season. And then it took some odd turns when I got the call from Supernatural. I had a whole other year left on Smallville so that drastically changed my storyline. I ended up turning evil a little ahead of the plan!TV Guide: Would you like to parlay all of that into one of those big-budget sci-fi/comic-book movies?Ackles: I'm not against it by any means. Comedy drama. Westerns sci-fi.. it's all fine if the story's compelling and the character is interesting to me. I do like challenge a lot. The other night there was a big stunt and they brought in my stunt manifold. When I saw what the hinder was. I was desire. "No no no. I'm doing this." They'll usually let me do it unless it's big stuff desire a wire-jump off a building — that could be a catastrophe. But [costar] Jared [Padalecki] and I would much rather have a day of action and stunts than a day of the two brothers sitting in a motel room pouring their hearts out. [Laughs]TV Guide: You realize you undergo a lot of female viewers because of that emotional stuff right?Ackles: This is true. "It's a necessary evil," we desire to say. TV Guide: After all your sci-fi roles are you used to the passionate-obsessed cult fan?Ackles: To a degree. They're very avid those fans. They're very passionate about the show and those characters. I desire that they're very protective of those characters. I get protective of the characters as well. If I read something on the pages that I don't accept with. I'll call [series creator] Eric [Kripke] and say. "Eric what are you doing here buddy...?" We're lucky enough to be able to do that. TV Guide: There are Samoholics and Deaniacs out there. You each undergo your own coterie of fans don't you?Ackles: What's funny is the network always talks about how we skew to a younger audience but at the events we go to the ones who show up at the set are usually women ages 30 to 50. It's actually pretty cool. TV Guide: There are so many shows filming up in Vancouver — Smallville. Kyle XY. Bionic Woman.... Do you hang out?Ackles: We don't undergo a lot of leisure time but I do play golf with Tom [Welling] and see Michael Rosenbaum every now and then. And Jeffrey Dean Morgan when he's up here. TV command: Out of habit do you ever move into the role of the "older brother" with Jared in real life?Ackles: There's definitely that dynamic between the two of us on and off screen but I'd say for the most move we're pretty evenly on par and we get along like a couple of good buddies. TV Guide: I hear you good buddies hit golf balls together. Who's better?Ackles: Well. I definitely play a lot more than he does. In fact. I introduced him to it just a few months ago. I got him out there and I bought the biggest box of balls you could possibly sight and he ended up losing every one of them which was funny. He might defeat me at hoops because he's taller than me. TV command: You're not so bunco yourself it's just that Jared's sort of a giant. Ackles: Yeah. I'm 6'1" and he makes me look like a midget! It lends itself to an interesting situation between us on set and the brothers on the show. Dean's such a short-tempered hothead but he's also not nearly as big as Sam is. [Laughs]TV Guide: Is it true you and Jared had a bonding undergo when you were attacked by some rowdy Canadians?Ackles: You mean when Jared his buddy Jordan and I were jumped by seven or eight guys? There had been this fight at a bar and these guys got kicked out. They were pretty tanked. This one girl sees me walking by and says. "That's the guy," meaning she knew me from the show but they thought I was some guy she had been fighting with. They started swinging at me and it was an all-out brawl. TV Guide: How'd you do?Ackles: We got away and put two of them in the hospital. I got away first then I turn around and see three or four guys teaming up on Jared. I was like. "Oh man!" I run approve in and I'm fly-kicking at some kid hit another guy grabbed Jared's shirt — of course. I ripped his favorite shirt — and I'm yelling "C'mon let's get out of here!" We were pretty tight after that. TV Guide: What does it say that the CW put you up against color's. CSI. The Office and change surface Kitchen Nightmares?Ackles: I understand the pairing of us and Smallville the only show on the communicate we can really combo with. Yes it sucks. It's very very strong competition. They're all top-10 shows. The network's excuse for it is. "That's not your audience it's an older audience." I disagree. The same age range watching those shows are tuning into our show and buying the DVDs and watching them. It's hard being on a new communicate a smaller network. TV Guide: Do you feel supported?Ackles: Somewhat. They have a lot of other shows they're trying to launch and they probably figure that once we're up and running we can survive on our own. We've hardly had any promotion this year. My feeling is. "Take a little time with this show. You've gotten us to this level why not put the extra energy into it and get us to an even bigger level?"In Friday's Interviews & Features. Part 2 of our Q&A: Jensen Ackles talks about the two new gals in Supernatural town opens up (a bit) about his own real-life romance and shares his plea to Eric Kripke. and the barfight... I act dibs that 'Jared's favourite shirt' is the pink stripped one. GOT TO BE. I desire that they bought his role as Jason Teague up.. the conclusion of his storyline in Smallville always felt rushed to me. But still. YAY SUPERNATURAL and YAY no wetfish!Lana sucking up to my TVBoyf! As for the CW thing.. yeah. I've already been verbal on this topic already take note Ostroff..
