Here is a descriptive list of additional online areas supporting automobile information. We have profiled several online areas in this Smart Car Buying feature that are not included in this listing. GO AUTO for a complete menu of these areas and others youll find to assist in your car buying efforts.
CONSUMER REPORTS
The Automobiles section of Consumer Reports covers most popular cars, minivans, and sport/utility vehicles sold in the United States. Information is taken from new-car Ratings, Profiles (for 1994 cars), Summary Judgments (for car models prior to 1992), Frequency-of-Repair Records, and Road Test reports developed by Consumers Union and published in CONSUMER REPORTS magazine. (The five types of articles are described below). The information is organized and presented by vehicle, making it easy to review all of the information currently available for an individual model.
AUTOQUOT-R
AutoQuot-R has been providing the consumer with new and used car pricing since 1987. We are constantly striving to educate the consumer. In 1992 AutoQuot-R merged with Car/Puter International Corp., a 30 year old company. As a result of this merger we have become the nation's leading car pricing service. Our national car buying service has delivered several thousand cars over the past thirty years with substantial savings to our buyers. We also offer leasing and warranty plans. Autoquot-R is pleased to provide to all online users a FREE used car TRADE-IN appraisal service. Make a toll free call to Mr. William DeFalco at 800-645-2960 and he will provide you with the pricing and tips you should know when trading in a car.
AUTO INFO CENTER
The Auto Info Center provides CompuServe users with convenient access to valuable automotive related information. We began simply as an online source of Used Car Prices, and have grown to become a resource for many other services and products such as:
Used Car Prices, New Car Buying Services/Prices, Collector Car Prices, Software, Video Tapes, Used Car Buyer's Guide, and Mileage Reports.
In this store, you can safely browse around without concern that you will accidentally order something. You will NEVER be charged for anything unless we make it VERY CLEAR that you will be charged if you proceed. All orders can be easily canceled before you leave the store.
