New Car-Buying State

a)      Check out several of the Web sites shown in Figure 8.19. Evaluate them based on ease of use, relevance of information provided, and other criteria you feel are important. Don’t forget the classic: “Did they make you want to buy?”

b)       Which sites would you use or recommend if you or a friend actually wanted to buy a car? Why?

c)       Check out the Consumer Federation of America’s study on anticompetitive new car-buying state laws or similar studies online. How much does it estimate consumers would save if they could purchase cars directly from manufacturers online?
