Getting a Car Loan After Bankruptcy

Fri, 11 May 2007 00:00:00 -0400

When you file for bankruptcy, a lot of people will tell you that re-establishing credit will take years. They'll also warn you that you'll be unable to buy anything on credit for a long time, and that your credit history will be permanently damaged. These are all lies. While filing for bankruptcy definitely hurts your credit, you can overcome most of the harmful effects in as little as one year. If you know how to work the credit system, you can have good credit again soon. 1. Make a plan. Come up with a budget and a savings plan. You need to figure out how you're going to save. Also, make sure all of your old creditors know that you no longer owe them money. If they send you a collection notice, take care of it right away. Finally, reflect on what caused you to file bankruptcy in the first place and make sure you don't repeat the same mistakes. 2. Start hoarding. You'll need to save as much cash as possible as quickly as possible. You need cash to get a secured credit card, for a vehicle down payment, and also for an emergency fund. **End Summary** Topics: bankruptcy car loans]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Author Jason Lancaster has many years of knowledge & experience in auto finance.

Toyota Tundra vs. Dodge Ram

Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400

I've compared the Dodge Ram and the Toyota Tundra to see which truck is best. While I didn't evaluate EVERYTHING, I did compare the key components and highlight any distinct differences between the two trucks. As always, I encourage everyone to drive all vehicles they're considering to find out for themselves which is best. Also, make sure to investigate what reputable reviewers like Edmunds and Consumer Reports have to say too. Comparing the Dodge HEMI SLT QuadCab to the Toyota 5.7L Tundra DoubleCab SR5, both in 4x4, was quite a bit of fun. Both trucks are big. Both trucks are fast. Both are capable of making their owners very happy. However, there are some key differences. The engines of these trucks are both powerful -- 381hp for the Toyota, 345hp for the Dodge, and both of these engines have excellent acceleration. However the HEMI uses a less sophisticated pushrod engine design compared to the iForce's DOHC design. Toyota's engine uses more technology to control combustion, and the result is quite a bit more power than the HEMI as well as better efficiency. **End Summary** Topics: tundra review]]> tundra vs ram]]> toyota tundra]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> About the author: Jason Lancaster has been working in the auto industry for almost 10 years.

Getting The Best Customer Service From Toyota

Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400

You've got a problem with your Toyota or your Toyota dealer and you don't know what to do. No one seems to want to solve your problem. Even worse, it's starting to be time consuming and frustrating you. How can you get it taken care of? Ninety percent of all vehicle customer service problems are solved by a local dealership. The fact is the local dealer is invested in solving your problem because they know that's the best way to earn a lifetime customer. In fact, did you know it's less expensive to make a lifetime customer through customer service than through advertising? Dealers know this fact and use it every day to solve problems. However, this doesn't mean that a dealership will solve every customer service problem free of charge (or even solve them at all). If you want to get your problem solved, you're going to have to convince the dealership that you're going to be a good future customer and give them good publicity. Show your dealer you're a good future customer by being nice to everyone at the dealership. **End Summary** Topics: toyota dealer]]> toyota customer service]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> About the author: Jason Lancaster has worked in the auto industry for almost 10 years.
