My auto dealer removed my new car window sticker and "lost it" and continues to say a duplicate will be obtained but it never happens and my calls are now ignored. I understand a new car window sticker guarantee is upheld by law referencing the: Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958, after which the sticker became known as a Monroney sticker in the industry, named after Almer Stillwell "Mike" Monroney, United States Senator from Oklahoma. What recourse am I privy to?
The act prohibits removal of the sticker BEFORE sale, it doesn’t stipulate it has to be left on, or given with, once the vehicle is sold.
If you wanted the sticker you probably should have taken it with you, it would have been easier.
Good luck.

Thoroughly clean the inside, wash and detail the outside, tires, and rims. The auto parts stores sell an engine wash that can be sprayed on (cool engine of course) and washed off to de-oxidize the metals. It’s not worth putting too much time and money into a car that won’t bring top dollar anyway. Focus on the performance aspect when selling it. If everything is in good working order and it will easily pass inspection , you will get as much as is possible out of it. Mileage has a big impact on what others are willing to pay. Good records of periodic maintenance also help. Good Luck!

Hi
I used to ba a car salesman for 3 years and my pay structure in $AUD was as follows:
$525 debitable retainer ( if you sold nothing in a week then thats what you took home )
$175 per car PLUS
20% of the gross profit after the "lot" fee.
So here’s an example to help you understand better :
Lets say the dealer bought a car for $10000.
Add the "lot fee"- ususally $2500 ( this covers all the fixed expenses of the yard, full time staff wages, mechanics etc etc ).
Car now "owes dealer" $12500
Sticker price $14950
So, If I negotiate with the client and sell for $14500, there’s $2000 gross profit. Therefore I would receive:
$175 ( for selling the car )
$400 ( for maximising the profit )
$575 AUD total.
Remember, everytime you discount the car you are giving away 20 cents in every dollar. It was a great system, encouraging me and the dealer to make more money. If this wasn’t in place then you’d simply "give" away the cars, applying the maximum discount.
I was turning over an average of 15 cars ( all used ) per month so there is good money to be made but be warned – it’s a hard job, lots of hours, lots of time spend on your feet and a lot of "attitude" from clients. " I’m just looking " is a favourite – in other words car salesman – GO AWAY !!
Get over all that and with a passion for cars you should enjoy it.
Enough from me anyway – good luck.

I want to buy a car – old or new it doesn’t matter at all. All I want to know that how should I judge the right vehicle which could rather be a value for money to me. Please share tips related to what kind of things I should do a due diligence on before buying a car.
Read Consumers Report Car Buying issue, excellent info on new and used cars. If u r going for a used car, subscribe to Carfax, there u get info on where the car came from, if ever in a reported collision, mileage, how many owners.etc. Cost is reasonable for 30 days of unlimited usage, all u need is the vin number of the vehicle u r interested in. A new car is ur decision in taste and preference, but Consumers Report test drives all vehicles and u get their data. They also have the frequency of repairs and problems with used cars. Good luck shopping.

For a marketing class. how will the marketing of a free maintainence for new car sales.
Describe the organizational buyers and consumers of your product or service and the factors that influence their purchasing decisions. Discuss how these factors will affect your marketing strategy.
You’re not real clear here.
"How will the marketing of free maintenance…" What?
"Organization of buyers & consumers.." What is the product?
You need to clarify your thoughts. Think about what you need to answer. If you’re still at a loss, talk to your instructor. Good Luck.

What can i add or do to my table to attract and get attention of customers so they will buy my things at a car boot sale? Ive been told that playing music, and using a colourfull table cloth attracts people, but i need more ideas please. Also any helpfull hints and tips would be much appreciated 
Thanks ..
Give aways always get people to your booth! I always have some sort of a food item – I rent a popcorn machine, snow cone machine, cotton candy machine or hotdog warmer. People love free food! The smell also attracts them. We also do a drawing for a $100 gas card at our events. Having a nice proffessional set up also helps. We also have helium balloons with our logo on them. I also just recently purchased a big prize wheel and that has been fantastic so far! I think the most important trick to making any of this work is to have a very energetic & outgoing person (people) working your booth. Good luck! Have fun!

im 19 years old and i want to work as a car sales man, do you think they will hire me… and how is it important if i dont know how to drive manual stick shift?
My nephew got a job selling cars when he was 18, during summer break from college at the local Southern California Subaru dealer. With his knowledge and enthusiasm he was a hit with the owner of the dealership as well as a favorite of the customers.
Age has nothing to do with being a good salesman, knowledge, personality and enthusiasm as well as really listening to what the customer wants is what will get you far.
It won’t hurt to give it a try, remember during an interview you’re selling your image to the dealer, so be presentable, study the product you would like to sell before you go there, do a little research on the history of the dealership (if possible) and good luck.
By the way he was well liked and was asked to come back and sell the following break.

I am low on cash (after going through graduate school) and I am looking to my a decent car. I bought a car at a local auction once and was very successful! So I just thought of bank repo cars. Can you help me or point me a direction where I could find out some more about bank repo cars?
as the above poster said, most banks send their cars to auction, you might want to try credit unions in your area, good luck

My brother owns a car repair shop, and I want to park my car for sale in the front of his lot. But he says I cant park it there because it is against the law. He says he has to have a license to sell cars. So do any of you know anything about this?
i think he’s right, it’s a place of business so it might be a problem.
are you in norfolk? i’m in vb. happy to meet you! good luck on selling your car!

I want to repaint my 02 nissan maxima se, love the car but its been driven alot on boston area highways meaning, the front end is chipped, almost like it was sandblasted, the doors have a few minor dings on them not a problem, and just a few other scratches.. I didnt mind it much till today someone ran into the side of my car in a parking lot and dragged their bumper along the entire length of the car, I buffed most of it out and luckily there is no dent.. just the surface looks worn, this finally got me thinking that its a good idea to repaint the entire car, keeping in mind there are minor rust patches (im talking 1-2MM’s in diameter) in the front end chips, would these be a problem? I just want the cars surface to be like new again.. some basic service to restore its original beauty. I heard Maaco can do this for me.. any other suggestions for a reasonable price?
id check with a few good body shops before i went to Macao ,they do alright ,if your planning on getting rid of it,but some of their work doesn’t hold up to well,they are cheap though about the cheapest ones around to paint the whole car,to give you a good idea of what a good job would cost for it,starting price on a good job should be around 800-1000 bucks for it,and that’s using real good paint,a good job cost a lot,cheap ones look good for while and then dull out,think it over,and decide,good luck hope this helps.
