Know anything about the real price for new car warranties?

Someone in the car business recently told me the finance guys at the car lots get something like 40% for the extended warranty price as profit for them. I was told if the extended warranty is say for example $1,800, you can say you will only purchase it for $900. The finance guy probably will do the deal, because he still gets some sort of kick back for every extended warranty he sales.



What I really need to know is real world experience for working out a price for the extended warranty, and how much play you actually have.



If they say the extended warranty is x, should I say I will only pay 1/2 of x?



Thanks



Know anything about the real price for new car warranties?

Yes most warranties are marked up about $1000, and yes he may accept the lower offer, but he also may not, because his payplan may require him to average a certain amout of profit.



Example



avg$1000 profit and get 15%



avg$800 profit and get 12%



avg$500 profit and get 10%



so taking a lower price may actually cost him money(the % are not just for that 1 transaction but all money he earned for the month). The owner sets this payplan so that his finance manager does not give the produst away.

You can offer anything you want to. It does not mean they will accept it. That is the beauty of living in a free country.

What is the best car for a family of 5?

It is very difficult to do 3 car seats in the same row. I can do it but it is very tight and I drive a Chevy Suburban. This vehicle is one of the largest on the road and will not meet your environmentally friendly/ good gas mileage criteria.



That leaves you with cars with 3 rows of seating. So, you are looking at mini-vans, some small SUVs, and that is about it.



I would look at the new Chrysler mini-van- it has the life-time warranty and has great safety. Mini-vans typically do about 20mpg on average, the Honda and Toyota will do a little better than that but cost more and will not have sales incentives typically.



Check whatever you are looking at against the auto safety ratings at Crashtest.com. Safety is always a priority with 3 little ones!



Good luck

I%26#039;m guessing you%26#039;re in the states, right?



Unfortunately, good gas mileage and large family vehicle aren%26#039;t synonymous here. Your best bet would either be a minivan (Can%26#039;t go wrong with a Dodge Caravan or a Chrysler Town and Country), but I think a worthy choice would be a Mazda 5 or Kia Rondo.

Can you go to another car dealership if you get disaproved at the other?

I went to Toyota and they told me that they could not finance me for the car I wanted because of my credit. The thing is I have a car from Toyota and it is about paid off. My credit report is showing where I had 11 late payments. That is not the case. I am disputing that right now with the credit agency. I wanted the Toyota Corolla LE, and they said no, that they could get me in the base model which is the CE. I don%26#039;t want base model. The only reason I am wanting to trade my car in right now is because it has 193,000 miles on it and I am having a few problems. And I need somthing more gas efficient. Can I go to another Toyota dealership and try to deal with them or is it all the same? Thanks



Can you go to another car dealership if you get disaproved at the other?

You can have any dealership rerun your application. Keep in mind that the more inquiries into your credit, the lower it makes your score. You may want to get preapproval from a bank or finance company for the amount you need, then go to the dealership. The finance companies that most dealerships use are for people with risk credit anyway. Be aware that the dealership may get you approved, but it may be at a high APR (15-18%).



Also, dealerships in different towns may vary in price on a vehicle by several thousand dollars. Shop around.



Can you go to another car dealership if you get disaproved at the other?

YES!!!!!!!!!!



They can%26#039;t stop you nor can they tell you where to shop...... There are banks out there that work with people who have %26quot;challanged%26quot; credit. I have really bad credit myself and was able to get pre approval from Capital One



Can you go to another car dealership if you get disaproved at the other?

Going to another dealership won%26#039;t help since all the financing goes through the same place when you are going through dealership financing. In fact, when they run your credit they will see that you went to another Toyota Dealership.



Probably the best thing you could do to put yourself in a better bargaining position is come up with a bigger down. Also clear up the late payment issue. The bigger down might be the quickest fix.



On EBay there are ebooks for about $5.00 that instruct you on credit repair.



Good luck. I hope you get the car you want.



Can you go to another car dealership if you get disaproved at the other?

As the previous poster said, the more inquiries into your credit, the worse it is for you. If you applied for a toyota, I am assuming that they went right to Toyota. If you go to another Toyota dealership, they will simply put your application through Toyota again, thus getting another denial. Ask if they will try your app in another bank.



Also, it can be easier to get financed for a lease than a purchase. Ask your salesperson about it. Your salesperson has already seen your credit with Toyota, and they can recommend your next best bet.



Best of luck!



Can you go to another car dealership if you get disaproved at the other?

Lets face facts, your credit is blemished, and I fully understand that these things happen and don%26#039;t need an explanation as the lender is only interested in facts, nothing else.



Go anywhere else and the new lender will know you been turned down by whom.

With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

I have fairly poor credit, in the upper 400%26#039;s, and I wish to buy/lease a new car. So I guess I have two questions. With poor credit, (I don%26#039;t want to rely on anyone else for their credit unless I have to), is it possible to actually get a decent loan or deal from a car dealer on a new lease or finance of a new car? And is leasing actually worth it? I like the idea of getting a new car every so often but then again I don%26#039;t want to pour a ton of money into something that I almost assuredly will not buy at the end. Thanks to all who answer :)



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

with your poor credit you%26#039;ll probalby get a high interest loan at best. With a rating in the high 400%26#039;s you%26#039;ll most likely need a co-signer. Take some time to build your credit before buying a car. If you tried getting a loan with your rating it%26#039;ll probably be in the high 20%26#039;s.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

Sure. You need cash and lots of it. Problem Solved. Your welcome



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

no



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

Youll get screwed, dont listen to the pay 100$ a month commercials, i went in with same credit as you and they put a 670$ monthly payment on my new ford fusion.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

yeah,but a good interest rate want be easy. Get a co signer for the loan.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

If you go through a dealer, you%26#039;re going to get effed. Try joining a credit union and getting a loan through them. You%26#039;ll still get effed....but not as much. My credit union has 10% interest for people with awful credit.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

you will probably be wasting a lot of money with bad finance rates unless maybe someone with good credit can cosign for you.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

NO.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

invest your money in something that will make you money.....do you really need a new car or will a used one be of equal value.....sure you can make money with a new car but also with a used one providing you treat it right it will pay for itself and you can use whatever other money you get from that to buy other things .....yes among them a newer car.....newer



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

As I know leasing needs better credit then loan%26#039;s! I would try a loan avoid payday loan dealers! Keep trying ever loan place!



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

I had the exact same situation bout 2 years ago..They said I COULD buy it in my name but it would end up costing me thousands more in intrest so I put it in someone else%26#039;s name..I%26#039;d just go talk to someone they will try hard to sell you a car and work with you cause they want the sale but be careful cause your prob gonna get a much higher rate



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

Best to buy from an individual..........take over notes.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

No one, No one, No one... (Alicia Keys) No one is going to lease you a car--Forget about it--you need very good credit for a lease..



Yes, you can probably still buy a new car, but yes you are going to get screwed---



You will pay a very high interest rate--When it is all over you will be rolling around in a Honda, but will have paid for a Benz.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

Well, I would try to find someone I know selling a car. But, I%26#039;m sorry to say it, but poor credit will haunt you for a good while. I wouldn%26#039;t lease. It will never be yours, so there%26#039;s no fun in %26#039;buying%26#039; the car. I would definitely buy. But, I wouldn%26#039;t look for something too far out of my league. You%26#039;ll be surprised at the quality (certified) pre-owned vehicles you can find for cheap. Good Luck!



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

It may be hard for you to get a loan, period. If you can, you%26#039;ll probably end up with a high interest rate.



Never lease a car. Never ever. Leases are only a good deal for the dealership.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

If your credit is that bad, and you are still looking for a way to finance a new car, I can see why you%26#039;re credit is that bad.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

No, it%26#039;s not worth it. Save up and buy a used vehicle. The high interest rates will kill you.



You do need to rebuild your credit. Perhaps, finance 20% of the used vehicle purchase amount and pay that on time. regardless of what rate they give you. This will help you on your next purchase and improve your credit score!



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

A shaky credit score will mean your payments will be higher because you haven%26#039;t shown that you are responsible with paying your debts. You would also charge a higher interest rate if you were loaning money...you%26#039;re not getting screwed... you are just paying for your mistakes...



I%26#039;d forget about a new car and buy a cheaper used car, pay the loan on time and next time you%26#039;ll get a better deal.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

I think you already know the answer to this..



You can get credit but at a God aweful rate.



Sounds like you dont have money so you are going to get a very high rate to make up for people who have bad credit ratings that default on their loans. Trust me, thats how they make up for losses from high risk loans.



I would borrow the money from a friend or family and pay them back. The interest wont be there. You can agree to pay your family or friend money ontop of what they paid you.



You might as well throw yourself in a pool of sharks that feed on money if you try to get a loan, if you do, hope so, but you will pay through the nose.



Good luck.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

See what kind of rate you can get from your local credit union. If you need to finance a car I wouldn%26#039;t buy or lease a new car. Go for a reliable Toyota or Honda that is a few years old.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

good luck it is very hard to get anything without good credit you may be able to get a loan easier if u have a co-signer i personally would never lease I have always owned that way I dont have to worry about waisting my money or worring about having full coverage or crashing the car



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

There are banks that will loan you money for higher rate than the average bear, Usually around10% with a down payment of $2000.00. Lease the car for 3 yrs then turn in for a new car and now you have good credit, work a new deal.RIDE!!! Good luck.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

I used to sell cars and I%26#039;ll tell you if you%26#039;re credit%26#039;s as bad as you think it is, you%26#039;ll almost have to have a co-signer, and even then you won%26#039;t get that good a rate.



The less you have to finance the better off you%26#039;ll be, which I guess goes without saying, but if you are able to make it happen, make sure that you pay on time (at the very least no more than 30 days late on your payments) so that you can raise your credit score.



As far as leasing, it%26#039;s really not for most people, usually only for people like real estate agents or the like that use there vehicle as a part of their work, which probably isn%26#039;t you, so I wouldn%26#039;t bother with the lease option.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

I would go into a credit union first. You don%26#039;t have to use a dealership at all. Go to a bank get approve for set amount. Then look for the car that fits the loan you are approved for. Leasing on low dollar car is not worth it. I would buy a new Kia or Hundai, they are good on gas, dependable. And start at $9,999. NEW Good luck



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

You%26#039;re better off paying cash then. Or simply put lots of money for down payment. Everybody needs to feel secure about you paying them for that car. I personally wouldn%26#039;t recommend a lease for you. Neither would I recommend getting a brand new vehicle. It will depreciate in value faster than anything else. Lease is good for people who have business to have a write off at the end of the year. Take additional 6 months (if possible) And finance a TV or something over $500. It will improve your score a bit. Good luck!



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

First off, cars depreciate anyway - if you buy a car now 3 yrs later it will be worth about half the price you paid so don%26#039;t think of buying a car as an investment. Just think of it this way - if you can afford to change your car every 3-4 years then try to lease it if not then buy. Also, if you think you%26#039;ll afford to change your car 3-4 yrs from now then again try to lease it now because your payment will be lower now and that will help you out.



As for your credit - try a car that sells a lot, like a Honda civic. If the manufacturer wants to unload the cars then they will be more willing to finance you. You%26#039;ll probably have to pay a higher interest rate but you%26#039;ll be on your way to building your credit. Shop around for the car/price, find someone who wants to work with you, set the selling price then let them try to get your lease or purchase approved. Do NOT let random dealers run your credit because that will KILL your chances of getting an approval. Also know that banks might be more willing to let you buy the car then to lease it and of course the more money you put down the higher your chances of getting approved. Good Luck.



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

with a 400 to 550 score you can%26#039;t get a loan without a cosigner. period!



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

yes



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

I think to lease a car you will need good to excellent credit. In your case you might not even qualify for leasing.



And there%26#039;s no way for you to not get %26quot;screwed%26quot; by financing, unless someone with good credit is willing to co-sign for you. You might not even be able to finance even.



If I were you I%26#039;d just shell out cash and buy a cheap car.

If you have been looking for some great ideas, Here is the place you should have a look.http://carloan.featured-resources.info/u...



With poor credit, is getting a new car possible without getting screwed?

Define decent. Obviously you%26#039;ve failed to pay back the loans that you%26#039;ve recieved in the past. Try paying your bills for awhile to improve your credit rating. By the way, if you do have the cash to put down, try on a rate in the 20-30% range. The best advice is to stop buying things you can%26#039;t afford.

I need a new or slightly used car but i only make 800 a month. is it possible to get a car?

I dont have a co-signer. i owe money on two credit cards around 500 each. and i dont pay any other bills. is it possible to get financed for a decent car?



Where is a good place to get a car and what is a good car to look into?



I need a new or slightly used car but i only make 800 a month. is it possible to get a car?

If you want to buy a high quality car with a lowest price for the most reliable,I suggest you try auto auctions.



There are there kinds of car auctions.



Dealer only auctions --- only licensed dealers are allowed to buy or sell cars,You can not get in or bid without being a licensed car dealer or an employee.



Public auctions --- the public is allowed in.In fact,you usually cant by anything from public %26#039;open%26#039; auctions because usually the pricing is too high.



Government and Police auctions --- Every day, the government confiscates, seizes and repossesses thousands of Vehicles.These vehicles are usually typically listed at 90% OFF their original value and auctions usually start at $100.



Two months ago,I bouht a near new SUV from online police auction.It only cost me $730 and i have not had one problem with it yet .



I followed the guide on



http://www.usedcarsinfo.info/index.php?t... .That site lists top 5 Police auction sites and help you choose the best one.



Hope that can help you.



I need a new or slightly used car but i only make 800 a month. is it possible to get a car?

Sounds like you are staring down the barrel of a KIA my friend. The dealers around here will give anyone with a job, $199, and no self respect a brand new KIA. Pay off the Cards first, it will help greatly.



I need a new or slightly used car but i only make 800 a month. is it possible to get a car?

Nope. You do not meet the minimum income requirements of any lenders.



Save cash %26amp; buy a cash car.

Does a HPI check on a car require that you have the chassis number???

And if so why?



Is there any other car serial numbers which are required?



What if a HPI turns up unpaid finance on a used car? What are the implications for the new buyer?



Can the dealer DECLINE to give the chassis number of a car over the phone?



Thanks



Does a HPI check on a car require that you have the chassis number???

This is the cheapest site to do a check for you



https://www.mycarcheck.com/



They don%26#039;t need the chassis number just the reg number



Unpaid finance means the car belongs to the finance company and they may or may not agree to sell it to you.



The dealer doesn%26#039;t have to give you a chassis number but if he didn%26#039;t that would be so suspicious that you should walk away from the deal



.



Does a HPI check on a car require that you have the chassis number???

I believe you only need the registration number.



%26quot;For an instant check, all you need initially are the vehicle registration mark (VRM) and your credit card details.%26quot;



Does a HPI check on a car require that you have the chassis number???

A VIN or Vehicle Identification Number is required by law. If you buy a vehicle you need one that matches what the DVLA has on record or it may be a %26#039;ringer%26#039; or car made from two write off cars welded together. No a dealer should be honest enough to allow you a Chassis number to check on. If they refuse there is something dodgy!!!



The implications for a new buyer of a car with unpaid finance would be repossession of the vehicle. You lose the money, the car and you get nothing!



Does a HPI check on a car require that you have the chassis number???

Don%26#039;t even go there don%26#039;t ever even think about it.



You will end up with a can of Worms that you will pay for for a long long time.



Does a HPI check on a car require that you have the chassis number???

I did HPI check on a car through the AA they only needed the registration



Does a HPI check on a car require that you have the chassis number???

All you need for an HPI check is the registration number. The dealer can, and should, decline to give the chassis number over the %26#039;phone to avoid %26#039;cloning%26#039; of the car on his forecourt.



Does a HPI check on a car require that you have the chassis number???

WELL YES..!!!..AS THAT IS THE VEHICLES DETAILS..with out them its a lump of metal....or what is the point of the check???? .....numbers have to tally all the way....or what is the point of reg and other numbers.....????
