Will Internet Invoice Pricing Replace Car Salesmen?

This is a Great question, Will the current trend of Internet Invoice Pricing replace the Car Salesman?  Car Buying has become an easy process online with invoice pricing everywhere and dealers fighting for your business, right?

Car Buying in reality is a complex Process and even the Internet Age we are in will have difficulty in replacing the car salesman. Can you get Car Buying Advice Online?  Most definitely you can get car buying advice, but there are many variables to Buying Cars; trade In, test drives, financing, and most important of all is, Most customers enjoy the interaction with the Salesman when buying a car. Who wants to here, "press star 2" for trade information, "pound 3" for leasing, etc.  We have been engulfed in technology to make our lives easier, but there is a point where we have to put our phones down, close our tablets, leave our virtual lives and step back into reality. The Internet is AMAZING for information, don't get me wrong, but we as humans desire interactions and even confrontations at times. 

Think about it, if we can buy a car without Car Salesmen then can we Also buy a car without dealerships?  Of course we could and this is another reason car salesmen jobs are safe. Communities, banks, and people depend on these dealerships. 

I think the new trend for Car Salesmen in the future will be to work more like CarMax Salesmen with hourly rates and no more commissions. One of the biggest complaints are Car Salesmen are ripoffs and lie and cheat. Let's look at this and really put yourself in this position for a moment.

Car Salesman works for a week or 10 days and it has been slow and they have not made a sale in this time period. Guess how much this Car Salesman made?  ZERO is what they made!  Would your attitude change if you worked 10 hour days for 2 weeks and made ZERO? Let me clarify this. The Salesman will get paid minimum wage draw and guess what that means?  When the next car is sold and you are actually going to have a check this week, the draw gets taken out of your sales so guess what you made again?  You guessed it, minimum wage.  Now, let me say, this salesmen would not be in the business long because their job would be threatened daily. You can see where the problem lies. So, would it not make more sense for dealers to pay honest wages to honest Car Sales Agents?  

Let me know what you think?  Leave a comment under this post.

Car Loan Interest Rates 2013

Car Loan Interest Rates 2013 are some of the best Rates in the last Decade so makes for a Great time to buy a New or Used Car.  Low Interest Rate Car Loans allows you to buy a more expensive car and have an equal payment to a high interest cheap car loan.

For Instance:
$10,000 Car at (12.9% Car Loan Interest Rate) may equal=$350 Car Payment
Whereas:
$15,000 Car at (4.9% Car Loan Interest Rate) may equal=$350 Car Payment

These Car Loan Calculations are theoretical, but you get the idea.  You can get a much more expensive car when the Car Loan Interest Rates are Lower.

Car Loan Interest Rates 2013 have been some of the lowest I can remember.  Whether you are looking for a New Car Loan or Used Car Loan, Interest Rates are phenomenal!  The interest rates for New Cars are around 4.9% with incentivize rates as low as 0% with some Car Makers.  Incentivize just means that you lose the rebate if you take the alternate low interest rate.  Used Car Loans in 2013 are as Low as 4.9% with some Makers offering 1.9% on Certified Used Cars!  This is unheard of, but a GREAT time for Car buyers to take advantage of these Low Interest Rates.

When you are ready to buy your car, be wary that dealers are trying to snag a few extra dollars by trying to steal your trade in.  Get quotes from several dealers before you decide. It would even be a good idea to sell your car before you go to buy your New Car, but other buyers are probably taking advantage of Dealer Incentives and Low Interest Rates as well so may be harder to sell as an individual.

Can I Get Car Loan Financing?

Can I get financed for a car? This is one of the most asked questions from potential car buyers. The answer is most of the time, Yes!

Car Loans can be obtained from many different companies and each loan company has different requirements.

Stability for Car Loans. Stability is one of the biggest factors that will determine whether you get a car loan. How long have you been at your current residence? How long have you been on your job? Think from a car loan companies perspective. If you have been at your residence less than 6 months and your prior residence less than 6 months, this is a risk for a Car Loan. You could be close to your next move and when you decide not to pay, it is difficult to trace you down. You have been on your job a short period of time, you could get fired or decide to switch jobs. This is a risk for the lender.

Debt to Income ratio for Car Loans. Your future ability to pay can be determined by how much income you have compared to how much debt you have. If you make 8 dollars an hour and your rent is $500 or $600 per month, this is not going to leave you enough expendable income to qualify you for a Car Loan.

There are companies that are easier to get loans from, but could require larger amounts of down payments to seal the deal on your Car Loan.

There are a few things you want to take to the dealership when you are ready to obtain Car Loan Financing. You will need an electric bill which will verify your address, a phone bill which will be proof of your phone number. You will also need your most recent check stub (computer generated---NO hand written pay stubs for obvious reasons). If will also help to bring your tax return from the previous year to show how much you made and how long you worked at current job. Bring a bank statement as well as it could be needed by some Car Loan lenders. The more information you can provide the better and everything needs to be consistent. For instance, the address on electric bill, phone bill, bank statement, and check stub need to match. This is one thing lenders look for when verifying your stips for financing. Car lingo for stipulations for financing- (Stips).

Car Loans can be obtained even with medium to poor credit if all your stips are consistent and you have a sufficient down payment. Put yourself in the Car Loan companies shoes and ask yourself, is there sufficient evidence to assure that repayment of the Car Loan can be made. Car Loan officers have bosses to answer to and if there is anything out of place, it will be hard to explain why they extended a Car Loan to you.

New Car Quote - Summer Selling Season

It is the summer selling season for New Cars. Everyone seems to wait for Hot Deals before buying a car. Well, now is the time!

Ford Motor has Employee Pricing plus rebates, General Motors has Owner Loyalty-Conquest rebates up to $6000, Chrysler has Summer Gas Savings where you only pay $2.99 per gallon of gas. I am sure Dodge, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes, BMW, and all other manufacturers in between have similar Hot Deals for the summer. With the 4th of July coming up and Gas Prices hitting record levels, I am sure you will see more incentives to buy that New Car you are waiting on.

Politics are heating up over Gas Prices. They are deciding whether to drill in the US for oil or rely on alternative sources such as Biodiesel, Electric, Hybrid, etc. to fuel our future Cars, Trucks, and SUV's.

There is no easy answer for gas prices for the immediate future, but one thing is for sure. We have to drive to go to work, school, etc. If that large SUV is dragging you down, check into a smaller car or carpool with a co-worker. The less we drive the cheaper gas will become.
