How to buy a car at the lowest possible price
It’s amazing how many people end up buying a car and paying too high a price for it. This happens for several reasons … lack of research, mistakes in negotiations, go to the dealership, etc.. Oops, wait a minute. It would be a mistake to go to the dealership? At first, yes. See why we say this.
Bruce Bueno de Mesquita (above) wrote the book “The Predictioneer’s Game,” which is a guide for people to get what they want in life using a study of mathematical models of conflict and cooperation between intelligent decision makers. Sounds complicated, but in practice is something that helps us in day-to-day.
And he also published a video showing how we can act to buy a car at the lowest possible price. The video is below, but for those who do not understand much English, his method is as follows:
1) Decide exactly what car you want, including equipment, color, etc..
2) Do not go to any dealership.
3) Call several dealers near where you live within a radius of 20, 30, 50 miles, to the distance that you find appropriate. (Here, for those who live in the country, it is searching in dealerships in the capital, even if it means traveling a long distance to buy the car. In nearby states of Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, go to these cities is also a good choice .)
4) Say what you will buy this car today at 5 pm, and you want to know the price of him on the phone, you buy the car from the dealership that gives you the best price.
5) The person will tell the utility that you can not buy a car over the phone, then you argue that it is possible, which has seen several people do this, using this exact method (which is not a lie, because you saw the video here the NA). And if you still say that the seller does not want to give you the price, you will understand that this shop knows it has the best price and that she prefers to stay out of this negotiation.
6) Then the person will tell you one thing or another: “Thank you, have a nice day”, or tell the best possible price. Maybe even talking about the best possible price the person complaining that the car you might buy from a store that gives a very similar price of 50 reais for example less.
7) You will then tell you that’s right, the purchase will be made at the shop at the best price, even if it is below 50 reais. Therefore, it is good to talk the seller the best price even the smallest possible value, to make a sale.
At this point it is good to make clear to the salesperson that you want the final price, including any taxes, freight, etc., because you come into the store with a check in the combined value, and if there end up being higher the price, you will go the next store, with the second best price.
Soon after, Bruce comments that came to buy a car priced at $ 6,000 less than in another store, thanks to this method. A European journalist auditioned and was able to buy a car by paying 2,500 euros less than expected.
Petrobras: Gasoline will have lower sulfur content until 2014
Petrobras secured during a seminar Emissions of AEA (Brazilian Association of Automotive Engineering) that Brazilian gasoline will have a reduction in sulfur content.
Automakers complain that the sulfur ends up with the efficiency of catalytic converters, causing premature breakage of equipment, which expires at the end increasing the vehicle’s emissions.
Petrobras claims that even with low sulfur content, the catalysts have a high rate of degradation. The company said that even with less sulfur in gasoline, the refining process will need to use higher level of sulfur in the cracking and coking.
The process will also reduce the octane of gasoline. The Brazilian oil company secured a reduction in “slack” until 2014, when gasoline has a sulfur content well below the limit of Proconve L7.
An Incredible Experience from an Incredible System
Have you ever been driving down the road and the vibration is ridiculously frustrating? How about when you are driving on uneven roads and you have to lean to one side, or you bump around as you are traveling? This can be aggravating and if you have a automobile that responds this way when you are driving then taking it out for anything adventurous is just out of the question.
Although there are some drivers and owners that might let this get them down, the fact is you don’t have to be limited by what your automobile features. You can actually change it by replacing your old suspension system and adding in an air suspension kit.
One of the best things about air suspension kits is that they are able to give you complete control. First started in commercial vehicles back in the early 50s when GMC took what they had used on city busses and applied that technology to standard automobiles, air has now been used in luxury vehicles and for those who want the best ride possible.
Although this was something that would had to have been done by a professional, it is now possible to purchase a air suspension kit and convert just about any automobile to have the absolute in driving experiences. This is done by removing the old style coil suspension and instead utilizing air suspension which can be created by adding specially engineered air bags. Then this is tied into a system that will be pressurized by air compressors, giving the perfect amount of control.
What makes this system unusual is that it is able to control each of the wheels separately and this enables you to have independent suspension giving you the very best experience possible regardless of what you are traveling over.
On top of this you are also able to use air suspension kits to get better and more convenient performance from you vehicle by having automated systems tied into your engine control unit. This can be used to detect the person that is driving, or how aerodynamic your vehicle is.
There are higher end air suspension kits that will allow you to place sensors in the driver’s seat to determine who is driving. You can then have a preset to the preferences that you have for the positioning of your car or truck and once you are driving it will automatically adjust to you.
In addition to this you can program it to change depending upon how fast the vehicle is traveling. This is great because if it is set up properly it will change positioning once you reach a particular speed and this can reduce the resistance you have, potentially raising the efficiency of your car.
Air suspension kits have come a long way from the first installations, and now because of mutually beneficial technology you can have incredible systems creating incredible driving experiences.
