A female reporter went undercover, with a hidden camera, to see what would happen to several female "buyers" when they went shopping for new cars. Their stories, along with video-taped conversations with salesmen, revealed outrageous attempts to mislead and overcharge on new-car leases.</FONT><BR><FONT SIZE="5">O</FONT><FONT SIZE="3">ut of ten dealers that were visited, five tried to talk shoppers into leasing instead of buying. The undercover shoppers were offered leases that <I>sounded</I> great--lower interest rates, lower monthly payments, and less money down. However, when the leasing deals were analyzed by several experts, a number of attempted overcharges were discovered: $2,100 on one lease, then $2,600 on another one, $3,000 on a third, and a whopping $7,500 on a fourth. Five leasing deals were offered to the shoppers and all five contained attempted overcharges totaling $26,400.</FONT><BR><FONT SIZE="5">W</FONT><FONT SIZE="3">ere these just isolated cases, or part of a much bigger problem? According to Florida Attorney General Bob Butterworth, it's a national problem. A two-year investigation into leasing fraud by his office found flagrant rip-offs in several thousand leases. As a result of that investigation, a major new-car distributor and <B>fifty-five dealers</B> in that state agreed to set up a <B>$4.5 million restitution</B> fund to settle complaints regarding past leasing practices. Similar investigations are under way in other states.</FONT></P> <HR SIZE="4" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="LEFT"> <P><A HREF="lease.html"><FONT SIZE="4"><B>More Leasing Secrets</B></FONT></A></P> <HR SIZE="4" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="LEFT"> <P><FONT SIZE="4"><B>More Car-Buying Secrets--</B></FONT></P> <P><FONT SIZE="5">L</FONT><FONT SIZE="3">earn how much--or how little--people are actually paying for the same car <B>and</B> how to buy it yourself at a big discount.

Many people have paid $1,500 to $2,500 (or more) for warranties that may have cost the dealer as little as $300. Worse yet, some people are sold "Brand X" warranties for $1,000 to $2,000 that turn out to be worthless when they try to use them.</FONT><BR><FONT SIZE="5">I</FONT><FONT SIZE="3">n this book, you'll learn the dealer's cost on many popular factory warranties--and where to buy them at big discounts (often around $400 to $800). Included: All Ford/Lincoln/Mercury vehicles, all GM vehicles (except Saturn), all Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth/Jeep/Eagle vehicles, all Nissan vehicles, and all Toyota vehicles. Reliable and inexpensive (insurance-backed) warranty information is also included for all new and used vehicles, usually priced around $400 to $600 with low deductibles.</FONT></P> <HR SIZE="4" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="LEFT"> <H2>What Car Dealers Don't Want You to Know</H2> <P><FONT SIZE="4"><I>If you don't know the secrets revealed in this book,<BR> you <B>will </B>pay too much for your next new car or truck.</I></FONT></P> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><B>Table of Contents</B> <OL> <LI>Leasing: The New Car Scam of the 90s</LI> <LI>When Leasing Makes Sense; What It Should Cost</LI> <LI>The Truth About "Dealer Cost"</LI> <LI>"The System": How Dealers Make Money</LI> <LI>Tricks Salesmen Use</LI> <LI>Extended Warranties: Extra Protection or Extra Profits?</LI> <LI>Financing: Facts & Fallacies</LI> <LI>Your Old Car: Trade-in Tips</LI> <LI>One-Price & "No-Haggle" Dealers</LI> <LI>Timing is Everything: When to Buy</LI> <LI>Homework for Car Buyers</LI> <LI>How to Negotiate</LI> <LI>CarBargains: A Shortcut to Savings</LI> <LI>Auto Brokers, Car Buying Services, & Membership Clubs</LI> <LI>Your New Car: Taking Delivery</LI> <LI>Complaints, Lemon Laws, & Other Recourse</LI> <LI>Tips for Used-Car Buyers</LI> <LI>What Insiders Have Said</LI> <LI>Dealers & The Media: Blackmail or Censorship?</LI></OL> <UL COMPACT="COMPACT"> <LI>Worksheets</LI> <LI>Payment Tables</LI></UL></TD> <TD><IMG ALIGN="MIDDLE" SRC="images/booka.JPG" ALT="Car Dealer Book Cover" BORDER="1" width="152" height="242"></TD></TR></TABLE> <P>Paperback, 202 pages <BR> Published September, 1997<BR><B>New discounted price!</B></P> <P></P> <P><A HREF="order.html"><FONT SIZE="4"><B>Ordering Information</B></FONT></A></P> <P></P> <TABLE CELLPADDING="5" WIDTH="100%"> <TR ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> <TD VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="50%"> <P><BR></P><FONT SIZE="5">Be sure to see:</FONT> <P></P><FONT SIZE="4"><A HREF="leasingbk.html"><B>Leasing Lessons for Smart Shoppers</B></A></FONT></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="MIDDLE" WIDTH="35%"><A HREF="leasingbk.html"><IMG ALIGN="TOP" SRC="images/bookf.JPG" ALT="Leasing Book Cover" width="77" height="121"></A></TD></TR> <TR ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> <TD> <P><BR></P><FONT SIZE="5">And</FONT> <P></P> <FONT SIZE="4"><A HREF="mechanicbk.html"><B>What Auto Mechanics Don't Want You to Know</B></A></FONT> <P></P></TD> <TD><A HREF="mechanicbk.html"><IMG ALIGN="TOP" SRC="images/bookd.JPG" ALT="Auto Mechanics Book Cover" width="76" height="121"></A></TD></TR></TABLE> <P></P> <CENTER><IMG SRC="images/flags2.gif" ALT="car buying guide, car buying tips, car buying help, car buying, auto buying guide, auto buying tips, auto buying help, auto buying, new car buying guide, new car buying tips, new car buying, used car buying, auto leasing guide, auto leasing tips, auto leasing help, auto leasing, automobile leasing, auto lease, car lease, car leasing, automobile financing, auto financing, extended warranties, service contracts" width="533" height="47"> </CENTER> <P><BR></P> <P><FONT SIZE="2">Copyright © 1998-2008 by Technews Corp.</FONT></P> </BODY>
