The Used Car Industry In the past 30 years, the United States auto industry has gone through many changes. In order to stay competitive with a foreign market, constantly threatening to eat away at profits, the American auto industry has had to respond by being flexible and adapt itself to this new situation.

According to one recent study, nearly three times as many shoppers now want to buy a used, rather than a new, vehicle. (Dalglish)
A Student's Reaction to Used Car Websites Getting a used car instead of a new car is becoming a trend in America today. People do not want to spend money for new cars cause of the fact that cars’ values diminish significantly.

Because Stephanie felt heard and understood by Mary, Stephanie felt comfortable expressing and exploring her feelings and wishes in the positive environment Mary created. Another good skill that Mary used was keeping pace with Stephanie. When Mary asked questions about how Stephanie felt, the tone and speed of Mary’s voice mirrored Stephanie’s. I think that really helped Stephanie to feel comfortable with being herself and expressing her true feelings

The third dealership that I visited was Foreign Motor West, which is an average size dealership that specializes in selling BMWs. Upon arriving

Dwayne Hoover is a fabulously well-to-do car salesman that is on the brink of insanity. They only meet once in their lives, but the entire novel, Breakfast of Champions (1973), is based on this one meeting. The meeting is brief, but that is all the author, Kurt Vonnegut, needs to express his message. In fact, it is quite crucial that the meeting starts
When you're buying a used vehicle, one of the easiest things to look for is rust. Someone without any mechanical knowledge or training can easily crawl under the cab and look for signs of rust--making rust one of the biggest reasons for a used truck sale to fall apart. However, since the products used in road ice and snow removal tend to be the primary cause of most rust cases, it's pretty common to find rust on a used truck that's been on some winter runs. All of this adds up to a confusing purchase
