New Car Deals – How to find them

September 9, 2006 on 5:05 pm | In automobile purchase | No Comments

So you have decided to look for a new car. Well, this could be an exciting time and at the same time, it could be a stressful time The usual questions (besides which car to buy) are centered around the notion of whether or not you are getting a good deal.
What makes a good deal? Usually that would be the notion of being able to get as close as possible to the dealer cost for the vehicle. For those who are either not experienced with reading the window sticker on a new car, the dealer will usually show you Window Sticker Price. That price is comprised of
the MSRP – the manufacturer suggested retail price.
Pricing for the Optional Equipment
Any markups for special pricing adjustments if the vehicle is in limitted supply
plus of course the desination charge (transportation costs)
Well that Window Sticker Price might seem reasonable to you, but in general it will not show you all the incentives the dealer might have from the actual manufacturer. The dealer has paid essentially significantly lower price for the vehicle (the dealer cost) plus they have incentives from the manufacturers via rebates and potential other cash back programs.
So all in all make sure you ask for all these items so you can make an informed decision when deciding on your final offer for the given vehicle. Make sure to find out if there are any rebates (recent college graduate, or other types), and try to find out ahead of time what the dealer cost might be on the vehicle of interest.

Save The World Air, Inc. (SWTA) has developed a new technology which apparently promises significant reductions in vehicle emissions and increase in fuel efficiency.
The product – ZEFS is shown on the images below (from the company web site www.stwa.com)

STWA has stated that they will introduce the product shortly. Tests have been done on Chinese motorcycle and have shown dramatic (per STWA) reduction in toxic emissions and 7% increase in fuel savings. Knowing what I do about pollution in China, such a technology would be great there, as well as in the rest of the world — So will keep checking this company’s progress and hopefully will be able to use the product.
