Though many people out there have dreams of becoming doctors, there seems to be fewer and fewer considering a career in car sales.  Many people look at us like we are poorly paid, and like our job doesn’t have a lot of prestige, but people are missing the point.

You see, if there were no car salesmen, you probably wouldn’t have anything to drive to work.  How would your son get to little league?  In fact, anytime you go pretty much anywhere, you have a car salesman to thank.

The life of a car salesman also has a lot of perks.  For example, when I sold the most new trucks in Weatherford I was given a new truck as a prize.  It was definitely a great reward for a job well done.

The wages are also a lot higher than you would think.  In fact, many of the sales people at the car dealers in Fort Worth earn more than doctors without having to put in so many hours.  Though the money is nice, it is also very important to spend time with your family which is a luxury that us car salesmen enjoy.

So when you are looking for a new career or just starting out in the working world, I urge you to take a look at being a car sales person.  It can be a lucrative job as well as very rewarding career – at least it has been for me.

If you’ve ever spent any time in the Jacksonville, Florida area, you understand the interesting combination of influences between the two bordering states. That small intrusion of Florida into the surrounding area that makes up Georgia is not only unique from a geographical perspective, but the people and businesses that live and work there.

Once during a long term assignment, I found myself living in Jacksonville. After a series of auto related challenges, I started looking into the used cars in Florida market. The great thing about being so close to the border meant that I also had the chance to research and look for used cars in Georgia as well.

In the end, it was definitely me, the consumer that won. By having the ability to seek out the very best deal on a great quality used vehicle from not one but 2 states really afforded me the most bang for my buck. While not everyone reading this may have the luxury of shopping for a new or used car along the Florida / Georgia border, if you are among the millions of individuals that live at or near the border of the Sunshine state and the Peach State, be sure to look at both sides of the line for the very best deals.

A quick peak at the headlines will let new car shoppers know there are some major changes coming; and those changes are right around the proverbial bend.

In light of the Federal Government beginning to issue bail out money to automotive manufacturers, the edicts of elected officials to auto executives is that they need to trim the fat, or risk the wrath. While only insiders may know what those consequences are, it is clear the auto industry is expected to become much leaner.

The biggest impact on the new car buyer? Most likely they will have fewer competing dealerships to shop at within geographical locales. Have you ever wondered why there were 7 Chevy and 6 Ford dealers in your area, all likely within an hours radius of each other? Free market capitalism. Often the same dealer owns 2, 3 or more of those “outlets” and simply wanted more exposure. Think WalMart in every neighborhood and you’ll have the picture.

With the restructuring of the manufacturers distribution chain, many dealerships will be shutting down. GM has tentative plans to close over 2600 car lots across the U.S. alone!

The biggest impact on the consumer, however, is that instead of driving 10 minutes to get your warranty work completed, you may have to drive to the other side of that hour long radius. That, of course, is better than having no dealer support in sight.

Last month, I had to get Denver car rentals for my wife and I. We were both due for automotive repairs on our vehicles and they found that both of our vehicles needed extensive repair, so we needed to rent something in order to actually get around for a few days. I did not know how easy it was to get the Denver car hire that you need here in town. There are some great places and a few of them have good customer service. In addition to actually getting the vehicles that I needed, I was able to save a good deal of money, too.

Because of where we live, I had to call the Denver airport rental cars location and ask about a vehicle. Since I was calling there, I thought I would look online to see what my options were. Would you believe that I found some of the most affordable pricing anywhere? I found some great discounts happening and because I was booking online I saved myself a whole lot of trouble and expense. I definitely recommend that anyone who is in the market for a rental vehicle due to repairs get involved with these guys.
