Helpful thoughts for parents in brief are:

* Drive by example

* Watch your emotional response while your teen is driving

* Work with your teen on various driving conditions, not just dry sunny days.

* Large open fields or empty parking lots are good sources for practicing

Of course while you’re working with your teen driver and their permit license, we have to keep drivers around us in mind too. Auto Safety Magnets has a focus strictly on car safety for teen drivers, their parents and driving schools. Our magnets will increase road awareness and traffic safety. Help keep roads safe for you and other drivers. We invite you to sign-up for our free newsletter covering Driving Schools, Car Safety and Teen Drivers at our website.

Another favorite scam is forced warranty scam where auto dealership will insist that in order to qualify for car loan you will need to purchase a $2000 2 or 3 year warranty. The bottom line upfront is that it’s hogwash and you don’t need warranty.

Here’s a good scam that I’m sure you’ve seen often. It’s called dealer prep scam. Yes that’s right I’m talking about that extra $500 that seems to appear on your contract to compensate dealer for basically doing nothing since car arrives in dealership ready to be driven off car lot to a prospective buyer. Try an avoid paying this if you can otherwise find a dealer that will knock this ridiculous charge off of contract.

The dealer markup fee is another phony fee that is made up just to pad car dealership’s profit margin. This is an unnecessary fee that dealer charges for no reason other than greed. This fee can be seen on orange sticker marked on manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP). These are just a few of many scams that can surface from time to time when you are attempting to buy a new car. Although these practices to go on there are many trustworthy car dealerships that can and will sale you a car for right amount of money allowing you to purchase car without getting ripped off and still allow dealership opportunity to make compensation they deserve for their efforts. The trick is to find that dealership. Best of luck to you.
