Sure, most auto salespersons are honest folks but there are also too many of them who like to cheat their way to profits. Here are the top 5 scams that you absolutely must avoid or you could be paying way too much for your car.

1.The dealer sells you a car and allows you to take it home on the spot. You finance your car through them but a few days later, the dealer calls and tells you that your financing has been rejected. You?re then told to re-apply your financing through them at a much higher cost (meaning a much higher profit to them). Arrange your own finance or if you must do it with them, don?t take the car home immediately. Wait until the financing is completed first.

For so many years we have relied on the car audio manufactures to put out a great product that we could enjoy listening to. Well just the opposite has happened for the last several years.

Motorcycle engine design and innovation has long surpassed that of the automotive industry, and industry observers agree that the big companies like Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki can muster considerable R&D prowess here, which can then be applied to their automobile engines.

Competitors are especially aware of this. Says former Oldsmobile chief engineer Ted Louckes: That’s where the leading edge of piston engine technology is today. It’s not in automobiles; it’s not in aircraft. It’s in motorcycles.

No matter how diligent you are in maintaining and rotating your tires, sooner or later the tread will be gone and the tires will have reached the end of their life. Or have they?

1.Always try to drive the speed limit. Did you know that for every 5 mph you travel over 60 mph, you are decreasing your fuel economy by 6%.

2.Try not to let your car sit idling for any length of time. According to Fueleconomy.gov the average driver will waste 17% of its gas by simply sitting in idle. So this means for every 10 gallons you purchase, 1.7 gallons are used to keep the engine running while you sit in park.
