Jeff The Car Guy Show

What do you do when you’re getting a divorce and you have negative equity in our vehicle(s). I'll let you know of a couple good options to remedy that situation.

The largest vehicle segment in the country is the pickup truck, with Ford being the #1 seller of this segment. There's been a truck war going on for years between manufacturers and the latest battle is over payload and towing capacity. Well, Ford has changed how they will calculate their payload and towing. I’ll explain why that’s a huge issue!

The auto industry is on fire! This is probably the best year since the collapse economy in 2008/2009. In this segment I tell you when it’s the best time to buy a vehicle.

Big news story about Tesla!  Tesla is going to build their gigafactory in Reno Nevada. The value of this company will be shocking!

Ford is going to change the way they calculate payload which will change how you decide how you will buy your next truck. Tesla has decided in which state they will locate their new giafactory. Plus, find out which car company scheduled a press conference on the same day and almost the same time as Apple's iPhone 6 scheduled announcement. The August 2014 numbers are in for the auto industry, and results are blistering! Also, is this the best time to buy a vehicle and in our mailbag segment how do you divide negative equity as it relates to your automobile.

We're getting a lot of feedback in our mailbag. One listener wants to know why a Subaru dealership would not install high performance Subaru parts that he purchased somewhere else.  Another listener wants to know if GM's recall will devalue her GM vehicle's trade-in value.

Tesla is the icon for the electric car. We cover how some states are trying to block the sale of Teslas through factory own outlets in their respective state, the new somewhat affordable Model X with "Falcon Wings" for the rear doors, and how Tesla is going to open up all of its patents and letting anyone use their technology for free! Toyota announced that it's going to have a market ready fuel cell, but Tesla was not impressed by it at all.

In this segment we talk about GM's new G7 Corvette.

GM annouces 7.6 million more recalls but yet has increased their sales by 13.6%.

Don't miss this episode! GM is still in the news, trying to shake off their recall. Plus, I'm going to share my experience with GM's cool G7 Corvette. Tesla is making several announcements about their future product plans. They intent to share all of their technology with the rest of the world.  Also, we'll talk about a car buyer that was refused when he offered to spend more money than just the purchase of his vehicle at a dealership. And, one listener wants to know what the impact of the GM's recall will be on the trade-in value of her car.

We're going to talk about an industry that's on fire! There was a huge reporting of sales by most automakers. Also we talk about an italian car company and about how China affects what happens to the auto industry here in the States and around the world, the Uber app and the affordable Tesla!

This time we are going to talk about the industry news a little earlier in the show.  For the month of May (2014) auto sales are up with most automakers and we follow the trend of the different vehicle segments. Some are up, some are down and some are stagnant. Alfa Romeo is getting 86 new franchises in the United States. China is going through a bubble...their sales are up 13% and are driving a lot of the demands for vehicles from around the world.

In this segment we talk about a new technology that doesn't get much play...natural gas!

The Uber app! Heard about it? It's the modern day taxi/town car service and it's causing quite a stir. 

Finally, we talk about Tesla as one of our new mailbag topics. Is it worth waiting for an affordable version of a Tesla?

More great topics this week! Google is developing the driverless car, we speak to the truth about rust proofing your car and fabric protection, the auto industry is on the mends and more mailbag topics like test drives: should or shouldn't the salesperson go on a test drive with the customer?

Google has announce that they are working on vehicles that can drive themselves! Hmmmm.

We continue the topic of self driving vehicles from Google and we discuss the issue of rust proofing and fabric protection for your vehicle.

It's mailbag time! This is becoming one of my favorite segments. We answer a question about how to cover your car payment when you are on medical leave and can't afford to pay your car note. The second question is about whether or not you should have a salesperson with you when you test drive a car?

This is the industry news segment where we talk about fun and attention worthy topics. This time around we talk about when an automaker comes to your town vs. going to Mexico. Also we discuss credit, longer loan terms and about people holding on to their cars longer.
