December car sales were abysmal, but have we hit bottom in the car market? Nissan definitely drops out of the Detroit Auto Show. Fiat loses a copy-cat lawsuit in China. All that and more, plus a look at virtual tools Ford uses to design its vehicles.
I have a 2001 Ford Taurus SES in great condition with 114k miles that I am trying to sell. I have tried the Houston Chronicle and have had no luck there. I have had a few responses via Craigslist but no one serious enough to make an appointment to see the car.
Out of places like autotrader, cars.com, vehix.com, etc., which site gets the most traffic and would be most likely to sell my car? Any other online sales suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I have been a sales person & sales manager in the Manufactured Home business since I was 18. Now I am 24 and looking to get in the car sales business. I don’t know a lot about cars, but when I started in Manufactured Home I didn’t know anything either. I won lots of awards & trips in the Manu. Home business and I consider myself a pretty good sales person. I sold the homes, secured the financing for the home as well, and helped with any service issues with the home. I was wondering from someone that has been in the car business how hard is it? Is securing financing hard for the loan hard? What are commissions like? What is base salary like? What is the more popular dealer(Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc) to work for? Is it extremely stressful?
Thanks for any help!
U.S. October car sales plummet by more than a third. Toyota and Citroen introduce two new small cars for Europe. Ford unveils a new version of its F-150 pickup at SEMA. All that and more, plus a test drive of Honda’s natural gas-powered Civic.
BusinessNew Analysis Shows Car Sales Take a DiveNew Analysis Shows Car Sales Take a DiveThe Associated PressAs the economy continues to suffer, auto makers are struggling. That trickles down to car dealers who have also seen sales slow dramatically. A new report shows last month G.M., Ford, Chrysler and Toyota had double-digit sales dips.

Car sales are down and many experts are blaming the lagging housing market.
“People don’t want to spend any money with the housing market slowing down. There’s no money coming in. There’s no money for them to spend, so we’re seeing it. We’re seeing these people who were buying, 4, 5, 6 vehicles a year for their company, are not buying any vehicles. Everybody is on a freeze right now,” Corey Argentino of Sunstate Ford said.
Sunstate Ford said they survive because of loyal customers.
If I buy a used car at an actual Toyota, Ford, or other major dealership, do I need to take a mechanic or can I trust that the car is in good condition.
If sales taxes had already been paid when the car was new, do they need to be paid again? I know on used car sales between private parties no sales tax is assessed, but how about on a used car purchase from a dealership, i.e. Nissan, Ford, etc..
I have seen sales tax returns for car sales, and to my understanding, resale/wholesale is non-taxable, for sales tax purposes.
Thanks in advance for your help.
AND WHY DOES THIS APPLY FOR DEALERSHIPS???
Long story sum up…
Bought a 1997 Ford Probe 2 years and 2 months ago. Gave me problems from day one. Things were supposed to be fixed and never were. I get a lawyer. I gave him some original documents. Used car sales man is now telling me I only paid 23 payments when I am sending out my 26th and final payment this month. Lawyer has a few of my written receipts given to me when I paid cash. Turns out Lawyer and an employee of the place I got my car know eachother. Now the lawyer hasn’t done anything to help me and has yet to answer my calls about trying to get my paperwork back.
AND Now when I try to contact the owner of the business the guy I originally worked with is saying he no longer works for the company and that the owner moved to FL. The ex salesman is telling me he will contact the owner then tells me he cant give me the owners number because he doesn’t have it.
I need serious legal advice/information here. I have already contacted the BBB and nothing was ever said.
I have been getting the run around for forever. Now I feel like I am getting screwed worse then I was. There is MUCH MUCH more to this story but not enough room to type it all. I could have gone for lemon law if the lawyer didnt ***** me over too. What can I do to get my paperwork back and to make this whole mess go away.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
