Frank Myers Auto Maxx Chosen For Payment Relief Program

Posted on by

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of last years successful government-sponsored loan modification program, the “CAR PAYMENT RELIEF” program (or CPR) has been introduced at the Winston Salem used car dealership Frank Myers Auto Maxx.

The “CAR PAYMENT RELIEF” program has a goal to help as many North Carolinians as possible find the best way to get a lower monthly car payment…saving them as much as $75 up to $300 per month. Some of the nation’s leading car dealerships, including Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston Salem, have been chosen to help drivers leverage their power as a consumer and take advantage of this current payment relief program.

This is the easiest-possible way for the public to get relief from their high monthly car payments. If you need to lower your car payment, go to https://www.FrankMyersAuto.com  to register for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This is not a refinance service or a debt restructure service. Credit card debt and late rent payments can not be considered. The “CAR PAYMENT RELIEF” program can only show you how to own a nicer, newer car and get a lower monthly car payment…saving as much as $75 up to $300 per month.  In order to be eligible for the program, participants must be a licensed North Carolina driver. Transactions must be made before March 31, 2011. This is a limited time sale promotion.

FUNDING FOR THE PROGRAM:

The “CAR PAYMENT RELIEF” program (or CPR) program shows consumers how to get a lower monthly car payment…saving them as much as $75 up to $300 per month. The program is designed to energize the economy by putting vehicles with lower monthly payments on North Carolina roadways. No local, state or federal tax dollars are being used to fund the CPR.

ELIGIBILITY:

Any licensed North Carolina driver is eligible to participate in the “CAR PAYMENT RELIEF” program.

HOW IT WORKS:

Consumers bring their current vehicle (if applicable) and valid North Carolina drivers license to Frank Myers Auto Maxx. Consumers will complete a quick and easy CPR processing form and it will be reviewed by a qualified agent who will show you how to potentially save $75 as much as $300 per month by upgrading to a nicer, newer vehicle. There is no obligation and no application fees.

Frank Myers Auto Maxx is not reimbursed by any other government program or taxpayer-supported program. All trades taken in are under the CPR program will be disposed of at the selling dealer’s discretion.

11 Steps To Becoming A Super-Power Car Buyer; Part 2

Posted on by

Step #1 (of 11 Steps To Becoming A Super-Power Car Buyer): Ask Yourself If You Should Buy New Or Used?

Most people think the answer to this question is obvious – NEW.

But most of those people haven’t spent any time thinking about the actual pros and cons of each.

Many people believe you should only buy used if you can’t afford to buy a new car, but that logic is completely flawed.

Let me explain…

Have you heard all of those recent TV and Radio campaigns for all these amazing deals, huge rebates, low financing and ridiculous incentives on new vehicles? Of course you have. Who hasn’t. They’re everywhere!

Because of these aggressive campaigns and extremely attractive sale opportunities, the number of new cars, trucks and SUV’s sold by automakers since Cash For Clunkers is growing at a record pace.

What does this mean to you and me?

Good question.

It means that there has never been a better time to consider the merits of a used car instead of a new one.

Why??

Because, until a couple of years ago, all of these new car buyers have created an overabundance of used cars – by turning in leases and trading in recently purchased vehicles…which gives you, the used-car shopper, a mega-amount of choices of quality, low mileage vehicles.

Plus, the flood of people that bought all those new vehicles during the original Cash For Clunkers have started to trade-in those cars and has made the used car market ripe for the pickin’.

See…the used car market is somewhat depressed, which means the prices are lower than normal.

This is not good for your new-car buyer friends who are trying to get maximum money for their two and three year old trade-ins, but it’s great for the smart shopper like you who knows the insider information about buying used cars at depressed market prices.

You are the one who scores. You are the one who will save money.

Why would a used car dealer tell you this, let alone put it in writing?

Because I am in the best position ever to offer you an amazing, high-quality, pre-owned vehicle for a price and a payment that’s unheard of.

Plus, because so many new car buyers are trading in their cars so quickly to get jammed into another, most of these vehicles come with the peace of mind of it being top-quality and barely used.

What really matters is having a car you truly love and adore that is dependable and affordable.

If your budget is at its max, then buying a used car makes sense. It is the only way to get the most vehicle for the least amount of money.

How many new cars do you know of that list for under $10,000?

We both know what kind of car that buys. Not much. A strip-o model. That’s car talk for a car that has no features.

Manual transmission, no A/C, you can forget safety features and definitely no luxury accommodations.

What fun is that?

Michelle Krebs of Cars.com writes, “For less than half the price of the average new car, you can buy a 3- or 4-year-old used vehicle that is larger and loaded with more features than the small, bare-bones new one.”

Now we’re talking.

But I’m not going to be one sided here. Buying a used vehicle has its drawbacks.

You are not the first owner of the vehicle so you don’t know where and how it was driven or how it was cared for.

Was the scheduled maintained performed?

You may or may not know.

Many say that a used vehicle will require maintenance and possibly expensive repairs sooner than a new one, and these repairs may or may not be covered by a warranty depending on the vehicle you buy.

One state Independent Automobile Dealers Association web site states, “All automobiles require upkeep, so factor in some amount for repairs. A good rule of thumb: Multiply the number of miles you expect to drive a month by 38 cents; the amount of money you should set aside a month to cover operating costs and maintenance on a car in addition to your car payment and insurance.”

Operating costs include everything from repairs and routine maintenance – like oil changes – to gas, car washes, and air fresheners.

In the next post, I’ll share with you Step #2: The pros and cons of buying both new and used.

Business Book Publisher, CelebrityPress, Signs Publishing Deal With Tracy Myers To Release ‘Uncle Frank Sez’

Posted on by

CelebrityPress, a leading business marketing and finance book publishing company, has recently signed a publishing deal with Tracy Myers to release the book, ‘Uncle Frank Sez’ LIFE LESSONS FROM THE FRONT PORCH OF A SELF-MADE MAN!

Orlando, Fla. – February 25, 2011 – Tracy Myers, The Nations Premier Automotive Solutions Provider, has written the forthcoming book titled, ‘Uncle Frank Sez’ LIFE LESSONS FROM THE FRONT PORCH OF A SELF-MADE MAN! Nick Nanton, Esq. along with business partner, JW Dicks, Esq., recently signed a publishing deal with Tracy to contribute his expertise to the book, which will be released under their CelebrityPress™ imprint.

The forthcoming book, ‘Uncle Frank Sez’ LIFE LESSONS FROM THE FRONT PORCH OF A SELF-MADE MAN! Features the sayings of ‘Uncle Frank’. Everyone should have an Uncle Frank.

‘Uncle Frank’ gushes his wit and wisdom with an inimical ‘down home’ flavor. His sayings (‘Frankisms’) are not the kinds you would expect to hear at typical tea parties or in genteel ‘coffee-klatches’. They are, however, sage pieces of advice from a man who has lived life, understands human frailties including his own, and wants to give the rest of us the benefit of his hard-earned knowledge. It is his caring and ‘Frank’ way of passing along to us the “nuggets” of his experiences – to make us better and more successful people.

Uncle Frank’s salesmanship is anchored in love, wisdom, integrity and experience. His  ‘Frankisms’ are to be savored, implemented and lived. They highlight the values of forthrightness, honesty, and planning – advice we don’t often get in a politically correct, ‘me first’ world,  …and the kind of advice responsible parents or caring teachers pass along to their students. It’s like a “tough love” prescription for success!

If you are disciplined enough to adopt most of these ‘Frankisms’, some of which may be new to your way of thinking, you will be motivated to succeed with integrity. The ability to care about others while making a better life for yourself and your family are universal ideals, but one vehicle to get you there is expressed by Uncle Frank as: “ The standards set for you by others can’t be higher than the ones you set for yourself.” That is his version of the Golden Rule.

His final comment in the book on ‘quitting’ is one that none of us should ever forget! You need to read, learn and inwardly digest that one before you give up!

Other books recently released by CelebrityPress™ include Ignite Your Business with Kelly O’Neill, The Relationship Age featuring social media expert, Mari Smith; The New Masters of Real Estate: Getting Deals Done in the New Economy featuring real estate investment expert and mentor, Ron LeGrand; Game Changers: America’s Leading Entrepreneurs and How They’re Changing The Game, and You Can Too” and Counter-Attack with Brian Tracy.

Used Ford F-150 Recall Affects 150k; Winston Salem Used Car Dealer Offers To Facilitate

Posted on by

Government pressure has caused Ford Motor Company to recall nearly 150,000 F-150 trucks to fix air bags that could deploy without warning. This number is a fraction of the vehicles the government says should be called back and repaired.

Used Ford F-150 trucks from the model years 2005-2006 are being issued the recall for what the Dearborn, Mich., company calls a “relatively low risk” of the air bag deploying inadvertently.

Ford has been urged by the government to recall 1.3 million F-150s from the 2004-2006 model years. They cite 98 injuries from air bags deploying accidentally. Ford’s F-Series pickup trucks are the best-selling vehicle in America and that’s one of the reasons the recall is being closely watched.

Tracy Myers, owner of Winston-Salem, NC used car dealership Frank Myers Auto Maxx, said: “With the spectacular vehicles that Ford has been making over the past few years, their massive recall on their F-150 trucks have stunned America. While I’m sure that lots of used Ford truck owners that live in Winston Salem are concerned with the recall, it is my understanding that Ford is working to get this problem under control. I want to reassure our customers that are Ford truck drivers that we are committed to seeing them through this unfortunate situation. As part of that commitment, we are providing free inspections on any Ford F150 that will end on March 27th.”
