Hey Cool Car Fans,
Happy New Year!
I’ll be returning back LIVE tomorrow morning from 10AM – 11AM on The Cool Car Guy Show on Castle Rock Radio.
If you haven’t tuned into The Cool Car Guy Show lately, you’re missing out on some great information about what’s happening in the automotive industry. Along, with some real life stories about how I’ve been able to assist people in buying, selling, leasing and trading their vehicles.
Yesterday, I had a woman who I was working with that I was able to get approved for an interest rate of just 5.99%, this was after being turned down by one bank and offered a rate of 8.25% by another bank. That’s a significant difference in monthly payment and substantial interest savings. Unless of course, you like giving banks more of your money on your purchases. If she were to go to a traditional dealership, the odds are pretty good that they would never tell her about the lower interest rate. Frankly, they probably couldn’t get it for her, but they would have sold her the vehicle at 8.25%, 9.25% or even more to put additional profit in the transaction.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the dealership turning a profit, since that’s why they are in business. However, the reality is that most people have no clue what is going on behind the scenes at the dealership when they are purchasing a vehicle on their own. You can’t fault the person either since most people only buy a car once every few years or so and the dealership is doing transactions for their business everyday.
“As a professional automotive consultant I provide buying, selling and leasing services for a specific clientele of individuals and companies who don’t have the time, or just don’t want to, run around from dealership to dealership or private parties shopping for vehicles. I do this with no upfront financial commitment on their part and I locate these vehicles either through the dealer auctions, private parties, my existing client base, or dealer inventories. My services are offered exclusively on a referral, repeat or relationship basis. I don’t advertise my services to gain new clients, but you can only obtain this service by being referred to me or knowing me personally.”
This week on The Cool Car Guy Show I’ll be discussing some of the following issues that are taking place right now in the automotive industry and automotive news.
Have a great day and be sure and tune into The Cool Car Guy Show tomorrow!

On our way back from Disney World I got an email from a client of mine that she had referred a friend to me who wanted to purchase a new 2008 Subaru Forester and possibly help her sell a car. As I checked my messages getting off the plane at the Denver International Airport, I had a message from the woman, we will call “Ms. M”, that she was in the market for a 2008 Subaru Forester and needed my assistance.
Over the Christmas holiday, I had a client call me, we’ll call him “Mr. X” about getting a new 2008 Honda CRV and unfortunately I was out of town to get the vehicle for him, but his boss had a car salesman at a local dealership “that he always used” who he referred him to for his services. Now, don’t get me wrong with what I’m going to share here because it doesn’t rock my world when a client decides to go and get a car on their own because I know they’ll be back down the road when they decide they want something other than a Honda for their next ride.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you from The Cool Car Guy. My wife, Becky and I along with our three kids Conroy, Corban and Bianca spent Christmas in Disney World. We all had a great time and I figured I would share with my visitors some of the highlights of our trip related to cars.
I was surprised how many rides are centered around cars. One of the coolest rides that we went on, probably our favorite, was The Rockin Rollercoaste
The other car ride Test Track at Epcot was sponsored by GM and takes the rider in a car that goes through a series of tests similar to what cars go through before they ever get put into production. This was a very educational ride in that it taught the rider about ABS brakes, air bags, crash test ratings and other issues related to building a modern automobile while the visitor is waiting in the long line for the ride. There are plenty of twists, turns and speed on this ride as well. The kids and everyone loved this ride.
On just about every big ride in Disney World you will end up in a gift shop where you can blow some more money on Disney goodies. At the end of Test Track the riders end up in GM showroom first where you can check out cool cars and get information on the latest and greatest GM has to offer. I took a photo of Becky in front of one of the latest concept cars by GM. The Chevy Volt is due out in 2010 according to GM, but we’ll have to see if they hit that date. There’s a good article about this subject in 
After Test Track we headed back to MGM studios where we saw the star of the Disney Pixar film Cars 
You want don’t want to miss this show that takes place in an outside stadium without a bad seat in the house. Make sure you get there about 30 minutes early to get a seat and you’re in for a real treat. We met my sister Elizabeth Morgan and my nephew Sterling down in Disney World and saw this show with them. Everyone loved it!
Lights, Motors, Action! is setup as a movie shoot with stunt men and fast cool stunt cars involved in a high speed chase. The cars are modified for this show for balance and precision driving equipped with motorcycle engines. As well as near-misses, and wild acrobatics, the show features stunts, such as jumps through glass, wall of flames, and high falls. This is definitely a show you don’t want to miss.
