This very short book will give you the ABSOLUTE confidence, from the beginning to the end of the car buying process, of how to go out and purchase a vehicle and save thousands of dollars and receive a quality vehicle that will serve you well for a long time.

If you do not know these concepts and car buying tips, you will CERTAINLY pay more for the price of the vehicle; and/or payments will be higher; and/or the interest rate on the vehicle will be higher; and/or the other terms will CERTAINLY work against you; and/or you will not get a warranty; and/or you could possibly buy a PROBLEM VEHICLE.

By now we all are aware that Dealers, Dealerships, Sales People, and Sellers of vehicle's make more when they sale the vehicle at a higher price. There is no secret that the seller's whole motivation is to sell you the vehicle at the highest price possible, and/or at the highest interest rates possible, and/or on the seller's terms. It is a very common practice in dealerships that the higher the sales person sales the vehicle for, the higher the sales person's commission. The higher the interest rate, the higher the sales person's commission. The more the sales person can convince you to sign the contract closer to his terms, the higher the sales person's commission. Therefore, it should not be a surprise to you that you need to gain the most knowledge you can to offset the sales person's strategies and tactics and save yourself some money. Money that you can use for other things. This is just common sense. The concepts, and the explanations of these concepts, will CERTAINLY put you at a better advantage and keep the Sales Person from "eating you alive." These concepts are a "MUST KNOW."

Cost, Effectiveness, and Deployment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Light-Duty Vehicles

The light-duty vehicle fleet is expected to undergo substantial technological changes over the next several decades. New powertrain designs, alternative fuels, advanced materials and significant changes to the vehicle body are being driven by increasingly stringent fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards. By the end of the next decade, cars and light-duty trucks will be more fuel efficient, weigh less, emit less air pollutants, have more safety features, and will be more expensive to purchase relative to current vehicles. Though the gasoline-powered spark ignition engine will continue to be the dominant powertrain configuration even through 2030, such vehicles will be equipped with advanced technologies, materials, electronics and controls, and aerodynamics. And by 2030, the deployment of alternative methods to propel and fuel vehicles and alternative modes of transportation, including autonomous vehicles, will be well underway. What are these new technologies - how will they work, and will some technologies be more effective than others? Written to inform The United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards, this new report from the National Research Council is a technical evaluation of costs, benefits, and implementation issues of fuel reduction technologies for next-generation light-duty vehicles. Cost, Effectiveness, and Deployment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Light-Duty Vehicles estimates the cost, potential efficiency improvements, and barriers to commercial deployment of technologies that might be employed from 2020 to 2030. This report describes these promising technologies and makes recommendations for their inclusion on the list of technologies applicable for the 2017-2025 CAFE standards.
