A Great Buying Climate
N
ew car sales have been on the upswing in recent years, and it's no wonder why. From reliability and warranty coverage to the sense of pride in driving a brand-new, shiny vehicle, more and more people are making the jump into new cars. LOW INTEREST RATES
RELIABILITY
Another good reason to consider buying a new car is that reliability ratings, almost across the board, have improved in recent years.
A big reason for that increase in sales has been America's financial climate. After several years of low interest rates being offered, affordable financing has been available to more buyers lately.
While Japanese cars gained a reputation for dependability in the 1980s and '90s, the American, European and Korean brands have all improved their reliability ratings as measured on owner surveys since that time. Cars from around the world are, in general, on much more equal footing compared to 10 or 15 years ago.
Credit also is being extended at easier terms and for longer periods of time. While lending standards aren't quite as loose as they were in the heady days of 2007 and 2008, most buyers with reasonably good credit can qualify for loans at attractive interest rates. Even buyers with poor or mediocre credit are frequently able to find financing options that can put them into a new car, although they might have to pay higher rates to do so. The bottom line is that across the credit spectrum, money is becoming available for vehicle financing to make it easier for buyers to purchase the car they need.

Unfortunately, no one knows how long the credit spigots will remain flowing and how long interest rates will remain this low. Many financial experts are predicting higher interest rates in the years to come after several years at historic lows, so now might be the right time to lock in favorable financing for your new car.

A Focus on Efficiency
I
mproved fuel efficiency is driving many buyers to look into purchasing a new car. From giant SUVs and pickup trucks to small economy cars, nearly every new model has been engineered for better gas mileage in recent years.
It's not just about hybrids and electric cars, either. While those models tend to generate the biggest headlines and are the most Earth-friendly to drive, ordinary gas and diesel models are being designed with lighter bodies and more fuel-efficient engines these days. For many buyers, especially people trading in their older gas guzzlers, that can make driving a new car more financially appealing. offered in more cars and trucks these days, and changes in their design mean they're dramatically quieter and cleaner burning than before.
Here's a look at some ways auto makers are improving their fuel consumption.
DIESELS In Europe, where higher taxes result in considerably pricier gasoline than here in the United States, small diesel engines have long been a popular choice because they help drivers save money at the pump.
FEWER CYLINDERS Full-size SUVs and pickups have long been famous for their gas-guzzling V8s, but they're increasingly becoming available with six-cylinder or smaller engines with turbochargers and other ways to save at the pump.
Now they're starting to become more widely available in America for the same reasons. Efficient diesel engines are
That's a pattern that many companies are using: reducing
the displacement of their engines to offer the improved gas mileage today's buyers expect. And that doesn't always mean a cut in power, either.
TECHNOLOGY Advanced technologies are resulting in engines that can eke the most energy from every drop of gasoline. That means that while today's newest engine designs are more fuel efficient, they often produce more horsepower and torque, too.

Technologies such as variable valve timing and direct fuel injection can improve performance while reducing fuel consumption. And many V8 engines are now being built with cylinder deactivation, which lets you coast in six-cylinder or fourcylinder mode, then firing up all eight cylinders when full power is required.

CAR'S JACK POINT RECOMMENDATION IS FOR OWNERS, NOT MECHANICS BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI
Dear Tom and Ray: My Ford F-150 owner's manual points out that there are certain "jack points" for the front and rear axles. I had a puncture in the sidewall of a rear tire, so the tire needed to be replaced. The local tire dealer jacked up the rear of the truck by the pumpkin -- the rear differential. I pointed out that the owner's manual says NOT to jack the vehicle by the rear differential. The dealer said they "do it all the time, and it does not make any difference." Please clarify for me. I would think that Ford's recommendation is more valid, but what is the reason? Thanks. -Mike TOM: My guess is that Ford's advice is geared toward you, Mike, the owner of the vehicle. And it assumes you'll be using the jack that came with the truck to change a tire. RAY: That jack is small, and really is for emergency use only. It's designed to lift up only one corner of the vehicle, because that's all it needs to do to allow you to swap out a tire.

TOM: So Ford, and every other manufacturer, creates jack points near each of the wheels. Those are reinforced spots that can handle the full weight of that corner of the car when you raise it up in the air. RAY: They don't want you to jack up the car using some other point that's not reinforced, because if your improvised jack point fails and the top of the jack punctures the vehicle, the truck could come down on top of you. And that's no fun. TOM: But if you have a hydraulic floor jack that's capable of lifting the whole truck, then there are other points you can use, if you know what you're doing. RAY: This dealer did know what he was doing. The "pumpkin" (the rear differential that looks kind of like a pumpkin, that sits in the middle of the rear axle) is designed to carry the full weight of the truck when the truck is on the ground. If it couldn't, the axle tube would break. So we know it can carry the weight of the truck when it's in the air, too. TOM: And, in fact, that pumpkin and axle are designed to carry much more than just the weight of the truck. Since you have a pickup, chances are you're also going to be doing what? Picking stuff up with it! RAY: So with a proper jack, the pumpkin is a perfectly acceptable jack point. We do it all the time, too. *** Get more Click and Clack in their new book, "Ask Click and Clack: Answers from Car Talk." Got a question about cars?

Though books should never be judged by their covers, very often individuals judge others by the clothes they wear, the home they live in and even the car they drive. It can be interesting to examine what a particular car says about the person behind the wheel. More than 200 million drivers are licensed in the United States and Canada, and these drivers choose their vehicles for a variety of reasons. Some choose vehicles because of their utility, while others select a particular car or truck
THE NORTH PLATTE TELEGRAPH
because of the message it conveys. Very often drivers will idealize their vehicles, lending them human qualities or naming them as if they were a friend. Sometimes owners will seek attributes in a vehicle that mirror their own selfimage. "A car says a lot about a person," says Dr. Charles Kenny, a consumer psychologist who studies car buyers and their needs. It's a reflection of who you are." Just think about the once-popular minivan. Minivans once conveyed
POPULAR REASONS TO PURCHASE A CAR
1 Affordable Credit Terms Go Low-Interest gives you more car for your money
2 Better Technology New features are surprisingly affordable
3 Safety Features Built-in Technology that Saves Lives
4 Fuel Efficiency Save Money and Fuel
5 It’s a Great Feeling There’s no better feeling than driving a new car
the image of the ideal family vehicle driven primarily by mothers. But in recent years, minivan sales have dipped so much that certain brands no longer produce them. Many drivers no longer want to present the image that comes with driving a minivan, compelling many to opt for crossovers and SUVs instead. Although there are some stereotypes attached to owning certain vehicles, some truths lie beyond the jokes and banter. Sports car owners can be flashy and crave attention. They may
want to live on the edge with high speed or know their sleek rides will impress others on the road. Highend roadsters may make a statement about financial status as well, as such cars are often among the most expensive vehicles on the road. Sedan owners may be especially practical people, as sedans are large enough to fit a number of passengers, but they're also affordable and tend to boast good fuel economy. Drivers of compacts and economy cars could fall into two categories. There are those who are just starting out financially and may not be able to afford a larger vehicle, while others choose economy cars, particularly hybrids and electric subcompacts, because such vehicles tend to be more ecofriendly. Sport-utility vehicles premiered as vehicles designed for sporting and off-roading. Not too long ago it was rare to see too many trucks on the roadways. Now you'd be hardpressed to find roadways that aren't flooded with SUVs. Mid-sized SUVs have become the new minivan, making SUVs some of the most popular vehicles on the roads. Functionality is the backbone of trucks. Truck owners generally
have driven pickups most of their lives and tend to live in more rural areas. Some will outfit their trucks with larger tires and lift kits, and these drivers could be looking for power and attention on the road. Luxury vehicles from manufacturers like Lexus, Audi, Acura, BMW, and Jaguar are largely driven by white collar professionals who have the cash to afford vehicles with all the bells and whistles. Luxury cars turn heads and can be status symbols. However, some luxury cars have become more attainable for those who purchase preowned or lease, making it difficult to tell who might be behind the wheel. It's not just the make or model of a car that can say a lot about its driver. Vehicle color also says a lot. For example, silver hints at a prestigious or elegant person. White cars are for those who like things clean and enjoy pristine surroundings. Red cars indicate flashy people who are willing to take risks, while orange cars are driven by those who are artistic and daring. Browns and beiges can indicate drivers who are down to earth and natural. A vehicle can say many things about a driver before he or she even speaks a word. SC143985
