For years Justin saved $2,000.00 to buy him a truck. He decided to go to the car lot to search for a reliable transportation. There are key components that made the difference in which vehicle he wanted to purchase; for example, space, condition, features, price and safety. Justin was interested in two trucks, but was undecided about which one to purchase. He begins to think about the pros and cons in each truck. First he wanted to see the similarities in both trucks, which were both trucks were manufactured in 1998 and have extended cabs. Also, pickup truck A and B are in drivable condition and the maintenance on the cars are not very expensive. He notices that both trucks have some difference. On one hand pickup truck A’s price tag says
Purchasing a car is one of the biggest and most important decisions that someone will make during their lifetime. Over the past several years, the prices of a vehicle have increased significantly due to the rise of inflation. Economists compare averages of vehicles to calculate and determine the cost of every vehicle that ends up on the car lot. To determine the cost they interpret all the above information and include everything from the cost of making the vehicle to the time of selling it. In the long run, the demand for vehicles is inelastic because they become a necessity for many people. However, in the short run, the demand is elastic because the purchase of a new vehicle can be put off for a while.

Based on the graph above, we can see that when the price of East Tuna increases, the sales of East Tuna decreases. The correlation (Refer to correlation) can prove that the relationship between the price of East Tuna and the sales of East Tuna are negatively related and it is fairly strong (-0.6159). The price of Kings Tuna is negatively related to the sales but with a weak relationship (-0.0247). Furthermore, the sales of East Tuna and the price of Lescos Tuna has a positive but weak relationship (0.1852). This means that Lescos Tuna is a competitor for East Tuna because when the price of Lescos Tuna increases, the sales of East Tuna increases as well. A software
Getting a used car instead of a new car is becoming a trend in America today. People do not want to spend money for new cars cause of the fact that cars’ values diminish significantly. This is exactly what my friend thought when he bought his used Acura CL 2.3 Coupe 2D for 13,500 dollars last years from a local dealer. Now the question is whether the price he paid really makes sense considering the current options and conditions of the car. Unfortunately, my friend didn’t even do any research before he bought this car. Thus, he bought this car with a relatively higher price than the price that he actually could have. Based on some of the used cars sales websites like kbb.com or edmunds.com which will be discussed later, he can actually buy that car for 12,585 (kbb.com), or 12,233 (edmunds.com). Inspired by my friend’s experience, I did some study on websites that can help you to negotiate for a used car like a pro. I come up with these two websites that I mentioned earlier—kbb.com and edmunds.com.
2. Second, because we want to find out if one is better than another. Which one ultimately gives us the best value.

Used cars come in a variety of qualities from the worst, the lemons the cars that always are breaking down, to the very best the most reliable cars. The sellers know the quality of their cars, but suppose that the buyers cannot tell which used cars are lemons and which are of good quality. Since the sellers have more information than the buyers, this is a situational concept known as asymmetric information. This model of asymmetric information was described by the economist, George Akerlof, (Ross, 2015). Asymmetric information implies that the information known to one party may be unknown or only partially known or available to another, (Matthews, 2013). Asymmetric information is a fairly new studied concept in economics. Although information
There are many different automobile companies providing buyers with many styles of cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. Toronto Star January 14, 2005 present ways to approach the automotive buying process. There are many different surveys, crash reports, and rating systems comparing different companies and their vehicles. Things you should look for when reading these published articles are who conducted the study? Who paid for it? Who gains from it? Who loses? These are all things to keep eye on as some automotive companies will run their own surveys making their products seem overpowering against the competition. Some prove their products are safer then the competition where the competition has been proven time and time again to make that survey seem inaccurate.
Drunk driving is very dangerous, driving under the influence is also illegal. Approximately 10,076 die in car crashes yearly. Most teens who die from a drunk driving accident usually aren't wearing their seatbelts. Accidents usually happen around 3pm - midnight on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. “Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens, and about a quarter of those crashes involved an underage drinking driver” (NCADD).
If tax was raised on the consumer of these large 4x4s (through road tax) then consumers may be put off due to more money flowing out each 6 months or year. Fig. 2 shows how demand would be affected by the higher tax introduced demand would fall, the substitute smaller cars demand would increase due to opportunity cost, the 4x4 would be sacrificed to enable the consumer to save money.
Sia’s maximum that he would be willing to pay, is $12,000 and Mike’s minimum he would be willing to accept is $10,000. An agreement, if one is reached, will create $2,000 in integrative value compared with no deal, because Sia one-sidedly values the car $2,000 more than does Mike. How that $2,000 is divided between them whether, let 's say, the price agreed to is $10,000, $11,000, or $12,000 is a matter of distributive negotiating: any gain for Sia means pain for Mike, and the other way around. It’s, therefore, fair to describe this as generation of $2,000 in distributive value, distributed in accordance with distributive negotiating skills. On the other hand, what if Mike is an exceptional mechanic and enjoys spelunking in his spare time. Sia, conversely, can’t fix anything, and he hates having to take his car to unfamiliar mechanic shops since he fears that they will take advantage of him. These details propose that more integrative value might be created by the sale of the car if Mike will guarantee to repair any item that breaks for 9 months after the transaction. Let’s assume, for example, that this would cause Sia’s maximum price to increase to $12,500, while Mike minimum price would increase only to $10,200. Any deal that incorporated the repair agreement would be collaborative because it would generate more integrative value than the parties could achieve through the sale of the car alone. The additional $300 can be explained as the value that can be created by the negotiators’ integrative negotiating skills. “In addition, positive emotions make the parties less contentious and more optimistic about the future, which, in turn, increases the chances they will search for multiple alternatives and find a better integrative—win–win—agreement.
One of the very first things a buyer should consider when looking for a car is what kind of car he/she wants. Many different factors can affect the car buying process. For one, the buyer must consider how big of a vehicle he/she wants and safety features like airbags, seatbelts, and working brakes. Itemizing a list of accessories can also help narrow down what kind of car to buy. While some people might prefer a Sedan with a large back seat and seat warmers, others may prefer an extreme luxury car with full stereo systems and miniature televisions. Every person has different tastes in accessories; luckily, there is a vehicle that can fit almost every personality. Most new models have the latest technology installed, although some of the “newer” used cars have the option of adding in those accessories. Once the...
I have always been interested in cars. Since my childhood I had the wish to know the mechanism of how cars work; so that I can build my own cars and eventually create and design my own brand. Due to the new revolution in car industry my interest in cars has gone even higher than before because these new revolution cars are environment friendly. This new revolution has been brought to the car industry by the introduction of hybrid cars because of the high fuel consumption and the increasing pollution; this is the best alternative despite the low performance and high maintenance cost, hybrid cars will overtake the conventional cars soon.
