In your opinion, what is the best automotive website to use
to buy and research used cars?
Edmunds is pretty much my first pick site for researching and
buying info with regards to vehicles. The site is maneuverable
and the info is all there for the picking. Reviews, advice, pricing,
it's all at Edmunds. They've been around for years and have built
a solid rep as a go-to car information website.
When is a perfect time for a consumer to purchase a used car?
I do believe that dealers, and consequently sales managers and
salespeople are very "quota" conscience so the end of
the month would be an ideal to strike a deal on a used car. Towards
the end of the month, managers and sales people are scrambling
to secure deals which lead to secured quotas and potentially nice
bonuses.
Winter is also a good time to shop for used cars because sales
are typically lower so salespeople are more desperate to make
a deal.
Do you believe President Obama was correct in bailing out GM
last year? If yes, why?
As a car person, I would say, "Of course!" GM, is an
American brand which has been around since the year of the flood.
I knew the bailout would work, instill some good feeling all around
and inject a tad of confidence into our economy. GM is an American
institution that was broken and needed fixing. After a few high
level folks were given the boot and new blood was infused into
GM, the road to recovery was truly in plain site. GM has even
joined the ranks of the green revolution which is a great thing
(getting rid of Hummer and adding the Cruze). I really don't think
that Americans wanted GM to truly die off.
Do you believe the proliferation of Craigslist.org will ultimately
put local classified sites/newspapers out of business?
I'll put it to you this way, I don't really know anyone who subscribes
or even buys newspapers anymore. Most of the people I know get
their info in a nutshell online, so what does that tell you? Placing
an ad on an online site provides the seller a greater scope of
potential buyers.
Thank you Ruth
