Small Car. Small Price. Big Deal. 3.24% Interest Rate on 2012 Fiat 500 at CarSeek.com

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) January 12, 2012

It’s fast, fun, fresh, and just off the boat from Italy. What is it? Why, the 2012 Fiat 500 Pop, the cute new mini-car with a mini price tag to match (the starting MSRP is as low as $ 15,500), and now, thanks to CarSeek.com, the internet’s leading resource for car buyers and auto enthusiasts alike, there’s also a mini-interest rate: only 3.24%.

Why is CarSeek pushing this car? Company president and CEO Wes Mayder explains, “People want to economize by buying smaller cars that are fun to drive, and cheap to fuel up. The Fiat 500 Pop is a great example of something small and sporty, and compares favorably to the Mini Cooper and the Mazda2.”

Even better, that 3.24% rate gets you a car with a fuel efficiency of 30mpg in the city, 38 on the highway, and doesn’t require fancy premium gas – proving it is possible to save money and still be stylish. As well, the Fiat 500 costs more than $ 4,000 less than the Mini Cooper.

And CarSeek.com should know. After all, this is the company that has been matching car buyers with great deals on new and used cars from local dealers since 2002. With car loans and car insurance both offered in-house, it’s truly a one-stop shop for every automotive need.

Question by Gene H: I’m thinking of buying a 2nd vehicle, a “summer car”. Should I buy a Porsche Boxster or a Mini Cooper?
Insurance is not a factor, neither is garage space. Not looking to buy a new vehicle and keeping the price below $ 15,000. I’m looking for something better on gas, since I drive a 4×4 most of the time now.

Answer by James
Neither, buy American. I’ sure you have noticed the changes in the cost of items ranging from food to property tax. Well if you have ever complained about this, or wondered why prices were going though the ceiling, it has partly to do with the fact that nobody is buying American products. This leads to America producing less products, and a shrinking economy. There are other factors at play, but if every American bought and American car the economy would be in much better shape.
My suggestion is buy American, the specific cars are not important. The related industries such as steel and rubber could use a resurgence. Since the late 80′s the American economy is moved further and further from industry and more towards being service based. Yeah I know for years we have produced inferior automobiles for top dollar, but we need to look past this if we want to have the same kind of future that we have grown accustom to in our past. American
automakers do not deserves this loyalty, however, the country desperately needs it. Now with that said, I am not advocating business as usual, I believe those in charge of the respective auto giants need to be held accountable for their overall poor business acumen, but the industry as a whole needs the American people as much as we need it. So despite the fact that foreign autos are of a better quality and cheaper rate, consider the increased price an investment in your future.

I actually bought a new car back in Nov. ’02. Mits. Lancer ’03. Well, I regret that. I got totally ripped off. I am still paying for that car plus I have a balloon payment (the interest) coming up in Nov. ’07. I know I’m going to be needing a new car soon. I am giving myself some extra time before I buy so I can make the right decision. I narrowed my choices to 2 cars: MINI Cooper/ Toyota Matrix. I ask: How can I haggle prices down? How can I find out what are the taxes in my area? How can get a great loan with my bank? I think I have excellent or almost excellent credit. What advice can you guys give me? (The reason why I’m getting a new car is because my boyfriend is going to be using my Mits. He had to sell his car when we moved. We are both young and need some wise advice.
I can’t ask my parents for advice because they are dead.

I’m not going to get a used car because I’m going to look stupid driving a shite box.

Yes I can afford two car payments. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be asking for advice.

My boyfriend bought us a condo with both of are names on it. He’s done a lot for me, so the least I can do is let him use his car since he sold his car so the move could be easier.

Broaden your choices to creat competition for your purchase, as great deals are coming this fall due to sell off of 06 models to make room for 07s. Also:
- many auto companies are hurting, thus, look for incentives such as 0% financing for good credit.
- Buy during last couple days of month, Sept. – Nov. 06, and last couple of hours of that day – preferably a rainy, cold Friday evening when no one is at the dealer, as salesmen are motivated to make their monthly sales goals, and they love ending their week/day with a sale, even if its not the best commission.
- Go to Edmonds.com and leverage internet to get dealers competing for you. Send-off an email to 3-4 and see who is hungry and responds.
- Know what your selected vehicle is going for. Edmonds has good data.
- Do not buy car that every one wants, as you will pay too much.
- Keep emotions under control, do not let them know you love it.
- Always ask for more options for less money, and offer much less than sticker w/o insulting them. If you offer a price and they immediately accept, you offered too much. You need to find their lowest price by having them reject your first/second/etc. offer. Have them suggest a number. Counter their answer with facts from your research and with alternative dealers/cars. And, make another offer, typically, no more than 1/2 of the difference between your initial and their reasonable counter.

Bottom line – know the highest price you will pay before you get into the negotiations dance, as emotions and logical thinking may be difficult to control at this stage, given the time investment on both sides. And, you need to be prepared to walk away if they do not accept your reasonable offer. The industry makes 15 – 20 million cars/trucks a year. I am sure there is more than one of those that fits your needs.

If you get within a couple hundred dollars, ask for more, e.g., options, car mats, free oil changes, 5 tanks of gas, etc. Also, leverage the potential of you getting your vehicle serviced at their dealership, as that is a substantial profit center for them. At this point, your time becomes more valuable than the couple hundred $$, so, get what you can, close-the-deal and drive away….

Good Luck,
