Winston Salem Used Ford Dealer Offers 2010 Focus For No Money Down

Posted on by

The 2010 Ford Focus is on sale for Winston Salem Ford shoppers. Consumers can now buy the fuel-efficient compact sedan for as little as no money down during the big Winston Salem used car sales event at Frank Myers Auto Maxx (see dealer for complete details).

Winston Salem Ford shoppers can experience all that is new with the 2010 Ford Focus including a sporty fluid design, advanced safety features and impressive fuel economy. In terms of appearance, Focus is an evolution of the design qualities found in the highly acclaimed Fiesta. Along side the Fiesta are flowing lines of the Focus, with the addition of a distinctively euro-looking fascia on the SES. This fascia, along with the dark chrome on the grille, headlamps, and taillights, hasn’t lost any of its visual luster from the previous redesign.

Focus is Fuel Efficient Choice for Winston Salem Ford Shoppers

Winston Salem Ford shoppers will be impressed with the estimated 40 MPG Focus achieves on the highway. Focus is as or more fuel-efficient than the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.

Fuel efficiency makes the Focus an obvious choice for longer travels and highway driving, but there are plenty of other reasons why Winston Salem Ford Focus shoppers of all lifestyles will appreciate the 2010 Focus. Inside, the Focus has a well-arranged dashboard that has mostly intuitive and handy controls. Cars.com is also impressed, finding that the “striking, winged dashboard draws the eyes immediately.” Kelley Blue Book adds that one of the benefits of the more mature dashboard design is that it offers “improved storage spaces, better-positioned controls and attractive ice-blue backlighting.”

As part of Ford’s assurance commitment, the 2010 Focus is packed with advanced safety features, most notably, earning respectable four-star ratings in both front and side impact tests. The 2010 Ford Focus coupe also earns a perfect five-star rating for front

5 Car Buying Tips for First-time Car Buyers From Frank Myers Auto

Posted on by

Buying a new car for the first time can be an overwhelming experience or it can be very easy and alot of fun, depending on how you go about it. To make your first car buying experience easier we recommend you follow these 5 Easy Steps:

 1. The first thing you need to decide before you begin your automobile  research is whether you want a NEW CAR or a USED CAR. If you’re on a  tight budget, then buying a used car gets you the most vehicle for the least amount of money. Ultimately, the decision to buy new or used boils down to what you can afford and what will give you peace of mind.

2. DETERMINE YOUR BUDGET. If you don’t already have one, create one. It will help you determine how much car you can afford. Don’t forget vehicle-related costs outside of a new car payment, particularly insurance costs. Don’t forget to include maintenance, gas, and taxes.

3. RESEARCH THE TYPE OF VEHICLE you want to buy (car, truck, economy, sport, van, SUV, etc) and price several models and makes in several different styles. Price not only the cars you think you may enjoy driving, but other makes and models in others styles to get a feel for whether this is the right car for you or not. Narrow down the makes and models that fit your needs by researching online and visit dealerships such as Winston Salem used car dealer Frank Myers Auto Maxx to get a closer look.

4. TEST DRIVE the vehicle you want to buy to make sure it meets all you needs. Once you’ve test driven the vehicle, you’ll have a much better idea which of them might be the “right” new car for you. Usually, you’ll be able to narrow down the choice to just one or two specific models that have the right combination of features/equipment, style and “feel” that works for you.

5. Once you find the right product, it’s time to find the RIGHT DEALER. It’s important to find a dealer you can trust to provide you with consistent, quality service after the sale. The purchase is a one day event, but you will need service for years to come.

Frank Myers Auto Maxx Owners Says: “Pop This!”

Posted on by

My name is Tracy Myers and I have a confession to make.

It’s not what you think. I wish it were something a little sexier but what it is just isn’t sexy at all. The truth is, I am a junky! A junky of the worst kind – a self-proclaimed ultimate and supreme bubble gum junky!

You can catch me blowing bubbles at all hours of the night, chewing and smacking and driving anyone in the near vicinity of my being crazy.  Sometimes I even shove 5 pieces in my mouth at once. Actually maybe even more. I even suffer from “bubblegumitis” at times – if you’re a gum chewer too you’ll know what I mean. Bubblegumitis is when your jaw aches from over chewing.

So this month with all this talk about the big vehicle bubble bursting, I thought I’d take my chance to do a little research on bubble gum and find out anything useful and entertaining to share on my favorite subject. I’m not going to win a Pulitzer Prize with this one but really; I’m not here to wow you with my knowledge and philosophies. I’m just writing this to make you smile and to give you a little break from whatever real issues you are dealing with at the moment.

Ten Fun Facts About The Pink Stuff

Fact 1
The average American chews around 300 sticks of gum in a year.

Fact 2
San Luis Obispo, California, USA is the home of Bubble Gum Alley, which is an alley with brick walls covered with ABC (already-been-chewed) bubble gum wads.

Fact 3
The Official Gum of Major League Baseball is Bubble Yum bubblegum.

Fact 4
The color of the first successful bubble gum was pink, because it was the only color the inventor had left, and that remains the predominant color today.

Fact 5
Richard Walker holds the record for the Chomp Title by chewing 135 sticks of bubble gum for 8 hours. The first person to win the ‘Chomp Title’ was Sue Jordan, who chewed eighty pieces of Doublemint gum for five hours and twelve minutes! Clyde Steward McGehee, of North Carolina, broke that record by chewing 105 sticks of Juicy Fruit for six hours and Richard Walker broke that record by chewing 135 sticks of gum for eight hours.

Fact 6
The country with the largest number of chewing gum manufacturers is Turkey, with more then 60 producers.

Fact 7
The largest bubble ever blown was 23 inches in diameter. The record was set July 19, 1994 by Susan Montgomery Williams of Fresno, California. (Guinness Book of World Records 1998).

Fact 8
There are more than 1,000 varieties of gum manufactured and sold in the Untied States.

Fact 9
Chewing gum consumption varies by geography. In the U.S., people chew an average of 182 stick equivalents per person per year. In the U.K., the figure is 125 – it’s 103 in Germany, 84 in Russia, 20 in China, and 4 in India.

Fact 10
In 1928 the first successful bubble gum was invented. The first known bubble gum, “Blibber Blubber,” appeared in 1906. It failed to catch on because it was too sticky and too brittle so it didn’t hold together when it was chewed. The first successful bubblegum was invented by Walter E. Diemer in the summer of 1928. A 23-year-old accountant who knew nothing about chemistry, Diemer created his invention in a tiny laboratory in Philadelphia. The only food coloring he had on hand was pink – see Fact 4 above. “It was an accident,” Mr. Diemer said in an interview with The Lancaster Intelligencer Journal in 1996. “I was doing something else and ended up with something with bubbles.”

OK, time to get back to the real world and to stop blowing bubbles, at least for today.

Making Car Insurance Easy To Understand

Posted on by

There are a variety of factors to consider when purchasing insurance for your car. The state minimum requirements for auto insurance coverage vary depending on the state in which you reside; for example, in the state of Colorado, the minimum requirements for auto insurance coverage is 25/50/25, which pertains to bodily injury liability limits.

This translates out into $25,000 per person, $50,000 per incident, and $15,000 for property damage. Keep in mind that these are the absolute minimum limits required by law. Winston Salem used car dealer, Tracy Myers says, “I would definitely recommend carrying more than that in bodily injury and liability/property damage coverage. It’s just the smart thing to do.”

If you cause an accident, or even cause a multiple-car pile-up where a few people are injured, chances are that you would cause more damage than you think. The extra premium you are paying for more coverage is well worth it (and this is coming from someone who is pretty conservative when it comes to spending money).

Comprehensive and Collision Coverage

It is also important to consider what deductible amounts would work for your used car situation. It is important to keep in mind that the higher your deductibles are, the lower your premium amount for that year is.

Also, there are two kinds of deductibles: comprehensive and collision. Comprehensive pertains to any damage caused to your vehicle by vandalism, acts of God, hit-and-run, and hitting an animal. Collision has to do with actually hitting another vehicle while on the road.

Comprehensive claims do not affect your future insurance premiums, but collision claims do negatively affect you future premiums. So, I feel that you should have a lower comprehensive deductible, and a higher collision deductible.

My personal auto policy has a comprehensive coverage of $100 and a collision of $1000. Also, glass is covered under the comprehensive deductible. Some insurance companies have a $0 deductible for glass coverage, so ask your agent about this.

Used Cars Worth Less than $2000

If you are driving an older car that is not worth more than $2000, then cover it with liability only insurance. That way, you are not paying for a collision deductible if it would cost you more to pay out the deductible than the vehicle is actually worth. However, don’t forget about the bodily injury liability coverage, as this could cover you if you are ever at fault in an accident. If you injure someone, you cannot simply claim that you are broke and have no coverage— you will still have to pay for the injuries or property damage regardless.
