Whether you are a first-time buyer, a veteran at the dealership, or even a 16 year-old, buying a safe, reliable car that is also the right choice for your lifestyle is no easy feat. There is so much to consider these days (size, gas mileage, color, level of coolness), that often easy but important tasks are forgotten. http://newjersey.bbb.org/article/6-tips-for-car-buyers-25674 Thu, 01 Mar 2007 06:00:00 GMT With prices averaging more than $28,000 for a new vehicle and $15,000 for a used vehicle, most consumers need financing or leasing to acquire a vehicle. In some cases, buyers use “direct lending:” they obtain a loan directly from a finance company, bank or credit union. In direct lending, a buyer agrees to pay the amount financed, plus an agreed-upon finance charge, over a period of time. Once a buyer and a vehicle dealership enter into a contract to purchase a vehicle, the buyer uses the loan proceeds from the direct lender to pay the dealership for the vehicle. Consumers also may arrange for a vehicle loan over the Internet. http://newjersey.bbb.org/article/ftc-understanding-vehicle-financing-4690 Sat, 01 Apr 2006 05:00:00 GMT A new car is second only to a home as the most expensive purchase many consumers make. According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the average price of a new car sold in the United States is $28,400. That’s why it’s important to know how to make a smart deal. http://newjersey.bbb.org/article/ftc-buying-a-new-car-4382 Sat, 01 Apr 2006 05:00:00 GMT Driving a car fueled by something other than gasoline or diesel fuel is no longer the stuff of science fiction. In addition to conventional gasoline and diesel fuel, reformulated — cleaner — gasoline and alternative fuels now are sold in many parts of the country. Alternative fuels such as methanol, ethanol, compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and electricity produce fewer tail pipe pollutants than conventional gasoline and diesel fuel. Using them could improve air quality. http://newjersey.bbb.org/article/ftc-consider-the-alternatives-alternative-fueled-vehicles-and-alternative-vehicle--4387
