Why Buy New Cars at the End of the Month?
Find out the reasons why car dealers are willing to give you
the best deal.

" Actually, car salesmen receive bonuses from both the dealership and the manufacturer for meeting certain sales goals ... " [/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]

Whether shopping for a new washer, a new home or a new car, everyone is always looking for the best deal, right? And why not? The capitalistic system is built on a free market where businesses compete with each other to offer the best product for the lowest -- or at least fairest -- price.

And in no other realm is the search for the best deal more coveted than in the new car dealership. Indeed, for some folks, haggling, and getting, a lower price when they buy new cars not only means more dollars in their pocket, but it can also be a badge of honor. Something about "getting a deal" -- and even better, "not being snookered" -- has always been a source of considerable bragging rights, whether at the Rotary Club, the water cooler or the corner bar.

Various theories abound on the best time to buy new cars. Some have touted the holiday season, the beginning of the week or a rainy day as among the best times to try and reel in that low low price. But one sure time that consumers can usually land a bargain when they buy new cars is at the end of the month.
[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]That's because the sales staff at most car dealerships generally operate on a quota system, where they receive an incremental bonus (otherwise known as a spiff) each time they hit their next sales "mark" for that month. So, if a car dealer is coming up on the end of the month and he's a few cars short of that next spiff, he or she usually has an incentive to get the sales manager to knock down the price of a car in order to hit that quota.

"Actually, car salesmen receive bonuses from both the dealership and the manufacturer for meeting certain sales goals," says Michael Royce, a one-time high-volume car dealer in Southern California, who is now a consumer advocate dedicated to educating car buyers. To that end, he wrote the book 'Beat The Car Salesman' and runs the Web Site, http://beatthecarsalesman.com[b].

"These goals can and do change as the dealership's and manufacturer's needs change," says Royce. "Sometimes salesmen may receive a bonus for meeting a certain sales goal for the month. For example, if they sell 10 cars in a month, they might receive a $1,000 bonus. Or they may receive a bonus for achieving a "first" -- li

You've probably seen your share of car commercials on TV and recall hearing phrases like "down payment" and "APR." Although some of the terminology may seem confusing, once you break it down, buying a car is pretty straightforward. There is certainly a lot of information you need to understand before you run off to your local dealership. But once you know what the acronyms mean and how financing works, you'll be ready to get the best possible price on the car you've chosen.

Alcohol or not urine is still water based. Well, for that matter so is beer.

Water in your gas.................... well, as long as there's more gas then water it should be okay.

Anyone remeber the water injectors you used to be able to buy & add to your car's engine? The only type I ever saw was a base plate very similar to the NO2 systems.
