This summer I've been pondering whether or not I was ready to take the plunge and buy another car. Have to say, buying a car has
never been my favorite activity. It's something about a woman walking into a dealership that brings the con out in so many car salespeople, and sad but
true, they're not all men. This month I thought I'd share with you pointers on how to deal with buying a car without all the stress and nonesense that has become
all too common when a woman decides to purchase a car.
Negotiating a good deal can be very profitable when you buy a
car.
Being a good negotiator doesn't have to be difficult. And when
you consider that negotiating will almost always get you a
better deal, you'll be more inclined to try it.
When you are trying to negotiate with a car dealer, you're
dealing with an expert. You will need to know how to get
through their "car speak" in order to be successful.
Once you learn to calculate your offer and know what the dealer
paid for it, you should get a copy of the paperwork from a
friend that recently bought a car, so that you can become
familiar with what you will see on your paperwork. They are all
generally the same.
If you've followed these tips, and are pre-approved for a loan,
you must next focus on getting in and out of the dealership as
quickly as possible. Otherwise, the salesman will certainly
find more loopholes to hike up your costs if you stay.
Here are a few tips to successful negotiating.
- Remain positive and confident
- Don't talk down to your opponent
- Show up prepared and ready to counter anything that may come
up
- Bring ads from other dealerships with you
- **Finance your loan before you arrive at the dealership so as
to avoid paying unnecessary extra fees
- Bring a friend with you for extra support

** Regena's broadening of point!Another reason to arrive at the dealership with your own financing is to save your credit rating from a hard licking. Dealerships today usually rates compare with
as few as two to as many as twenty different financial institutions at once. All of these inquiries are not good for your overall credit rating and could hurt your
chances of getting a reasonable interest rate on your auto purchase so be prepared.

Hey There Regena,
Long time no talk . Just read your July newsletter. Congrats on turning 40 next month. I turned 50 in May and wouldn't trade it for anything.
My feeling is "the older I am, the better I am". It's been my motto for years.
Thinking of You,

Today take some time out of the day and treat yourself to a cookie break, you deserve it.
These cookies are my personal favorites. You really do have to
refrigerate them for one hour before cooking. It’s Grandma’s
secret tip for making them turn out right. Also, you need to
sift your flour first and then measure out your three cups.
Ingredients:
3 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup soft butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping:
1/2 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Directions:
1. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (The
easiest way to do this is with your sifter. It doesn’t hurt the
flour to be re-sifted.) Set your dry mixture aside.
2. Combine and bean butter, sugar and eggs until they are light
and fluffy.
3. Blend in the sour cream and vanilla until the mixture is
nice and smooth.
4. Add your dry mixture gradually.
5. Refrigerate your cookie dough for one hour.
6. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
7. Drop tablespoon sized cookie dough mixture onto your greased
cookie sheet, making sure they are about two and 1/2 inches
apart. (Dough will puff up and spread out.)
8. Sprinkle your cookies with topping.
9. Bake the cookies 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops of the
cookies are a light golden brown color.
Makes 3 1/2 to 4 dozen cookies.
