Cars & Transportation - 21 July 2006

Ok, heres the deal. I am 16 and I think I was born to be a car salesman..(I know.. weird) but I know everything about cars and selling them. I don't want to do this as a career my whole life though, I just want to do it while i'm in high school. Do you think anyone would actually hire me, being 16? Are there any car salesmen out there that have any advise for me? And I know for a fact that I don't want to do this my whole life because it just doesn't pay good enough and I really want to be a buisnessman or something like that. HELP PLEASE! I really want to apply at a car dealership but I think they will laugh at me. If there is anyone that could sell cars.. it would be me. I really hope someone can answer these questions. Thanks in advance.

I just read an article on saving gas and it claims that you add the equivalent of 20 cents per gallon for each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 mph. But I'm just wondering what people think about getting to your destination faster to save gas vs. going slower to save gas. On the expressways that I usually drive on for long trips the speed limit is 70 mph and I will usually go as fast as 80mph. Do you think I'm wasting fuel or driving efficiently? FYI: I have a fuel efficient 2-door Civic, use cruise control as often as possible, limit the amount of extra weight in my car, and drive safely. What do you all think?

Wow, I was just on the Chrysler website and I saw the pics for the 2007 Sebring.. and it just like blew me away.. I wasn't expecting them to be restyling them anytime soon. Does anyone like the new style? Does anyone know what kind of pricing will be on them? I also heard that Dodge is getting rid of the stratus and bringing back the Avenger.. :-( Does anyone know any more information on either of these cars? I would really like to know.. thanks.

I am leasing a car for the first time - a 2006 Nissan Altima. I am nervous about being hit for all sorts of costs, etc.... after the lease is up. I take excellent care of my cars, but I have heard that some leasing companies can be very nit picky.

Please share your positive or negative experience and hopefully help to put my mind at ease.

We often hear Americans in a flap because petrol (gas) prices are at an all time high. When I tell them that we pay 3 or 4 times as much in the UK, they usually say "Yeah but we drive several times as far in a year, in the US". I don't think there is a great deal of difference in UK/USA average car milages. Anybody got any accurate figures?

Have a car I'd like to trade in (paid older car), but a few years back I got a personal loan and used my car as collateral. Can I trade my car in? Will the dealership pay my lein off and maybe add it to the new car? The loan was $1500 and I don't have the money to pay the loan off in full (it's in default)

I have been thinking about getting a preowned truck and the Tacoma is on my mind. Tacoma's are such sharp looking vehicles to me.

if they put the limit on cars and not people driving them then there might not be so many accidents and also cheaper insurance etc
