This weekly feature for Warranty Direct about car repair and maintenance is written by Tom Torbjornsen, the popular host of America’s Car Show on satellite radio. Below are some recent Q&A from the America’s Car Show email bag.
Dear Tom,
If I want to buy my car at the end of the lease, is the price negotiable? They want $15,000. Will they take less? Thank you.
Anne from WA
Ann,
You didn’t give me year, make, and model so I can’t tell you if this is a good price. That said, you must realize that in car sales and leasing EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE!! Especially when you might return a leased car with mileage on it. The dealer wants to sell the vehicle to keep inventory down. Do your homework and find out exactly what the car is worth based on local market values, vehicle condition, equipment, and mileage. Then negotiate hard, especially since inventories are on the rise again. You should be able to get a better price. Success to you.
Tom

At first glance, it seems easy to answer this question with a resounding, “Yes!”
After all, those fuel costs are edging up every day, and the idea of being able to stretch gas dollars is very intriguing.
Well, perhaps you need to consider a few more factors than just the price you pay at the gas pump when you fill a tank. There is more to owning a hybrid car than just having the coolest looking ride and higher gas mileage.
