Internet helps find car facts
Not so long ago, the process of buying and owning a new car was akin to being stuck with rusty needles. Potential buyers always were fearful of being cheated by the salesman, paying too much for service or not knowing a critical fact until it was too late.
Thankfully, the Internet has evened the scales, and now consumers are more informed and are paying less than ever before. New car services, online car clubs and message boards are available for even the most obscure make and model.
Here are just some samplings of the resources:
www.blueovalnews.com
This site is run by the controversial Robert Lane, who has several reliable (and anonymous) sources inside Ford Motor Company. These sources, including company documents, give Lane the inside track to some of the best insider info in the industry.
Want to know Ford's future plans? What the Mustang will
look like in 2003? How they are handling the Firestone recall behind the scenes? What else might soon be recalled? Even though he just focuses on Ford, this site has a wealth of information.
www.edmunds.com
Edmund's is the standard by which most new car resources are judged.
www.autoextremist.com
In this site, you can find impartial reviews, road tests, option prices and even the true market value of the car you're looking for. There are also links to price out insurance, tips on how to get the best price and a message forum.
This site was made for the true enthusiasm. It's another site with loads of insider info, and it lambastes the whole auto industry. Their motto is standing up for the "bare-knuckled, unvarnished, high-octane truth."
Autoxtremist.com is mainly a huge editorial with long-winded rants on the car industry just doesn't get it. The site helps give an outlet of frustration for consumers who feel ignored by automakers (i.e., all non-SUV drivers). Naturally, the site is a hit with hardcore car nuts and is the scourge of automakers.
www.driveoff.com
Driveoff.com is a complete online car buying service. Don't have the stomach for a marathon
session of haggling or excessive dealer markups? Driveoff.com allows you to choose and option out your car and calculate price with monthly payments. The beauty of it is that you pay the manufactured suggested retail price no matter what, which is helpful when trying to find high-demand cars.
Wandering the Web
This site has a partnership with many dealers across the nation, so it's pretty easy to find one within 100 miles, no matter where you are.
www.fool.com/Car/Buyinga Car.htm
Okay, I know the Motley Fool isn't exactly a car site, but its founders have compiled the best steps to take when buying a new or used car. They've been helping people save money in every form of business, and the car industry is no different.
Credit, personal finances, insurance and monthly payments are all taken into consideration. To top it off, some of the methods they suggest can put all of the power in your hands, while the salesman tries to figure why his profit margin was so low.
