To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in

which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat

you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the

And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our

No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 25 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years!

And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in

package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get

of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their

With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other big new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket referral fees of 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 25 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years!

package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for

It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what

package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their

Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in

package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their

Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years!

In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years!

I was the only candidate James Bragg As a result: over 145000 new-car shoppers have used the Fighting Chance 3-step competitive bidding process to get the lowest price possible without walking into a single car store to haggle! With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other big new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket referral fees of 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 25 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our customers’ feedback You’ll have us as your coaches as you go through the process Got a question Call us Want to run the numbers before you sign a lease Call us There’s no such thing as a silly

sticker/MSRP and dealer invoice pricing data for the vehicles you’re considering covering all the trim levels and equipment packages Here’s a current list of model pricing available You’ll also get these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make The Big Bucks And How They Don’t Today Incentives Often Differ From Market To Market Here’s How To Check The Offers Where You Are The Two Big ‘Fake News’ Come-ons To Ignore The Myth Of

package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our customers’ feedback You’ll have us as your coaches as you go through the process Got a question Call us Want to run the numbers before you sign a lease Call us There’s no such thing as a silly

of each month to start the process You’ll receive our signature Big Picture analysis of how the brands and the specific vehicles you’re interested in have been doing in the market Are your model’s sales up or down Does the average dealer sell 2 per month or 22 This piece also reveals the current holdback information for brands that use it several don’t You’ll get the complete current sticker/MSRP and dealer invoice pricing data for the vehicles you’re considering covering all the trim levels and equipment packages Here’s a current list of model pricing available You’ll also get these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make The Big Bucks And How They Don’t Today Incentives Often Differ From Market To Market Here’s How To Check The Offers Where You Are The Two Big ‘Fake News’ Come-ons To Ignore The Myth Of

here on a secure encrypted order form at any time Special Message To Previous Customers The Fighting Chance package is always changing to reflect new knowledge and the best ways to deal with the changing realities in the retail car business Sometimes the changes are dramatic For example the method for getting competitive bids differs substantially from the arms-length/one-step fax or email attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive Fighting Chance information package Important Note: This is a service for NEW VEHICLES ONLY We have no information on used vehicles Also we have NO CANADIAN PRICING DATA Copyright © 2017 Fighting

There are indispensable game-changing facts about the new-car business that the industry and those big auto-info websites have hidden from you for decades – facts that shift the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Someone needed the hunger for the truth the tenacity to uncover it and the guts to reveal it to you I was the only candidate James Bragg As a result: over 145000 new-car shoppers have used the Fighting Chance 3-step competitive bidding process to get the lowest price possible without walking into a single car store to haggle! With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other big new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket referral fees of 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 25 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their

customers’ feedback You’ll have us as your coaches as you go through the process Got a question Call us Want to run the numbers before you sign a lease Call us There’s no such thing as a silly question here In the package’s centerpiece How The PhoneEmail Attack Can Get You The Best Deal Saving You Time Money and Aggravation you’ll learn exactly what to do and say each step of the way as you

these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make The Big Bucks And How They Don’t Today Incentives Often Differ From Market To Market Here’s How To Check The Offers Where You Are The Two Big ‘Fake News’ Come-ons To Ignore The Myth Of Vehicle-Specific Dealer Cash Incentives The Crucial Financial Importance Of A Dealership’s Customer Satisfaction Rating Important Note On The Pricing Of Dealer-Installed Accessories Can You Get The

here on a secure encrypted order form at any time Special Message To Previous Customers The Fighting Chance package is always changing to reflect new knowledge and the best ways to deal with the changing realities in the retail car business Sometimes the changes are dramatic For example the method for getting competitive bids differs substantially from the arms-length/one-step fax or email attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive

How To Buy Or Lease A New Car the Only Smart Way And Get The Best Price In The Market Every TimeWithout Walking Into A Single Car Store To Haggle There are indispensable game-changing facts about the new-car business that the industry and those big auto-info websites have hidden from you for decades – facts that shift the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Someone needed the hunger for the truth the tenacity to uncover it and the guts to reveal it to you I was the only candidate James Bragg As a result: over 145000 new-car shoppers have used the Fighting Chance 3-step competitive bidding process to get the lowest price possible without walking into a single car store to haggle! With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other big new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket referral fees of 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 25 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our customers’ feedback You’ll have us as your coaches as you go through the process Got a question Call us Want to run the numbers before you sign a lease Call us There’s no such thing as a silly question here In the package’s centerpiece How The PhoneEmail Attack Can Get You The Best Deal Saving You Time Money and Aggravation you’ll learn exactly what to do and say each step of the way as you conduct a competitive bidding process from your home or office Ideally you’ll enlist 9 or 10 dealers that you choose to make price proposals and you’ll go with the winner We also tell you the best day of each month to start the process You’ll receive our signature Big Picture analysis of how the brands and the specific vehicles you’re interested in have been doing in the market Are your model’s sales up or down Does the average dealer sell 2 per month or 22 This piece also reveals the current holdback information for brands that use it several don’t You’ll get the complete current

Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make The Big Bucks And How They Don’t Today Incentives Often Differ From Market To Market Here’s How To Check The Offers Where You Are The Two Big ‘Fake News’ Come-ons To Ignore The Myth Of

Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket referral fees of 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 25 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of

Frankie DiVita Rita Wilde Todd Leitz Magic Johnson Bruce Chandler Brother Bill Jay Leno and Ed Lover Judging Amy August 28 2018 Amy Lewis is part of the rich history of morning drive in LARadio Her name surfaced in the news last week when she parted ways with KFBK-Sacramento after 19 years total with the station Creating a morning show is a tough assignment Think George Lopez and Sinbad who unsuccessfully gave it a go In the 90s Amy was partnered with Dave Williams at the Capitol City’s news-talker they were an enormously successful team When Ken Minyard left mornings at KABC after more than three decades the search was on for a replacement KABC had high hopes that the successful 1 team working at KFBK-Sacramento might be the answer Dave and Amy arrived with much expectation to halt the enormous slippage of KABC’s ratings in morning drive How did Dave and Amy first team How did they get the job at KABC What was it like in the new environment Why didn’t it work From early 2002 LARP archives: I met with Amy Lewis shortly before she returned with her family to Sacramento last weekend As she and her 9-year-old daughter Emili slid into the booth at Jerry’s Deli in Woodland Hills I was reminded of the same exuberance and blue-eyed enthusiasm she had when we first met days after her arrival a year before In 1990 Amy had been working in Sacramento radio for over 10 years when she was hired to run the operations of three radio markets for Metro Networks She also did on-air traffic reports for the CBS television affiliate as well as various radio stations including KFBK similar to the role that Jim Thornton plays at KCBS/Channel 2 and KNX In 1993 the management of KFBK wanted to replace Bob Nathan co-host of the popular Dave amp Bob Show Dave recommended that I take his place For three years I was doing traffic for Dave and Bob We always hit it off Great rapport said Amy It was a lot of fun When the gm approached me it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up Amy began working full-time in the KFBK studio with Dave Williams It was a hard transition Here I was four hours a day five days a week with Dave I didn’t think about the constant things we’d be involved in Amy was also unprepared for the backlash from Bob’s firing The audience was very upset that Bob had been fired I didn’t think about the consequences of being despised but I sure was at first She heard it all Working in Sacramento the station didn’t have screeners so she answered the phones and heard the complaints But Dave wanted me and we got through tough moments confessed Amy It was a great chance to work with a legend in Sacramento And so we did for seven years It was great During their time at KFBK the station was 1 A few years into the Dave amp Amy morning show Ken Kohl arrived as pd He and Dave didn’t always hit it off “Ken tends to be a meticulous perfectionist a micro-manager He knew exactly how he wanted the station to sound and sometimes Dave didn’t agree with Ken’s ideas so there was friction Eventually Dave started looking for a new job Amy had no desire to leave Her relationships with nearby family and friends were strongly established She had recently gotten job offers in Portland and Seattle which she had turned down Her three daughters 5 9 12 were in school and they lived in a large home with a horse arena But LA had never come calling before To help Dave’s efforts to find a new job he hired George Hiltzik as his agent “George and KABC pd Erik Braverman were talking at an NAB Conference” according to Amy “Erik apparently said he was looking for a morning show like the kind of show Dave amp Amy did in Sacramento He said he loved that show Erik said: ‘I love the rapport They sound great together’ George told Erik that he represented Dave Williams and the process began” Dave either flew down to KABC or he had several conversations with Braverman “Erik asked Dave if he liked working with me and if I would be interested in coming to LA Dave called me and I said of course I’m interested! Dave and I were flown to LA to meet with Erik and Eric Stanger Bill Sommers KABC gm at the time had a home in Northern California and was familiar with us and wanted us” said Amy The day after the Lewis family finished the new horse arena on their Sacramento property they left for LA and the opportunity of a lifetime – to work mornings in Los Angeles One of the strange aspects of the negotiations is that Dave and Amy didn’t sign contract options for the same length of time Sommers wanted to sign them to an 18-month contract but Dave didn’t want to sign for such a long period He signed for 12 months and Amy for 18 months Amy believes that time was of the essence and Sommers just wanted them down here “There was never a thought it wouldn’t succeed” confided Amy So why didn’t it succeed “I thought the show would be a mirror image of our show at KFBK using Dave and me as hosts In Sacramento we had an editor a producer three morning reporters and everything at our fingertips Any local or regional breaking story we were there – live Nationally within a minute I could get someone on the phone or satellite” The morning show in Sacramento sounded more like a news wheel “I thought it was going to be like that at KABC I thought we would have live reporters We were told the show would evolve The day we started we didn’t have a completed clock and over the year the show kept changing” As Amy related this to me she did so without placing blame It was just different This may be a case of what management thought they had bought was never actually attainable because there was not a similar support staff to make it sound like their success in Sacramento That environment made Dave uncomfortable “I think he never felt the show was truly his” said Amy “In Sacramento we knew where to go minute to minute We had a great deal of input but Ken Kohl had a clear picture of what he wanted to hear This was not the case in Los Angeles Within the first month our relationship was strained Dave Williams is witty smart and intelligent I think he just wasn’t able to relate to management exactly what he wanted or needed and management was not able to figure him out” Eric Stanger was the day-to-day boss during the Dave amp Amy regime “Erik Braverman started to pull away around the sixth month but he was also responsible for KSPN’s launch so he was extremely busy About that time Dave also started to pull away During meetings with our producer Bernard Pendergrass we three would talk but Dave often sat silent Bernard was a saving grace He helped me a great deal and taught me a lot” Amy said Bill Sommers never faltered in his hopes for the possible success of the show However during the late summer Dave was informed his contract would not be renewed About this time the station started trying out possible replacements Brian Whitman paired with Al Rantel “Then we heard Gloria Allred and Mark Taylor might be taking over The rumors were awful There was a constant buzz in the hallways We heard option after option that were always being negated by management They would tell us that everything was fine and that we were doing great They admitted that the ratings were terrible but they had the confidence that they would start to pick up” said Amy The one-year experiment didn’t work resulting in KABC deciding to bring back Ken Minyard to morning drive with Dan Avey The Wednesday before their last show in November Dave was called into John Davison’s new gm office and Erik called in Amy “Dave got the word he was being let go I got word that the show was being replaced but that I was being kept obviously because I had another six months to go on my contract” Amy wasn’t surprised by the decision “Management offered us the opportunity to stop that day or finish out the week I wanted to end the show in an appropriate manner with head held high” Her effusive appreciation for having the opportunity to work at KABC is still evident today “I told Erik that every day I walked into KABC’s building and onto that carpet I was honored It was an honor and a privilege to be there When I was told about Ken Minyard coming back I told Erik I would love to be a part of their new show I really hope the new show works out KABC for me will always be a shining star I did everything I could I put in long hours and every bit of brainpower I had The ‘Mommy Guilt’ kicks in when I think of how much I worked to make the show at KABC succeed while I probably should have concentrated more on my kids but they’re great and we’re looking forward to the next chapter” Amy left Southern California with the same kind of youthful enthusiasm she arrived with just over a year ago She has high praise for the experience and the people with whom she worked What’s next “I know I’ll find something exciting Whether it’s going back to KFBK or trying something different I have heard of an opportunity to run a political campaign in Sacramento which is pretty exciting” “Life not only goes on but it gets better” enthused Amy Somehow you can’t help believing that Amy has the same upbeat attitude as she plots the next step in her journey Watch what Amy

Laura Schlessinger – KFI 6 Tami Heide – KROQ 7 Taylor/Allred – KABC 8 Rush Limbaugh – KFI 9 Heidi Frosty amp Frank – KLSX 10 Lance Ballance – KBIG Big Boy Makes Unwanted News August 27 2018 It was not your typical collision on the busy LA roads Big Boy KRRL REAL 923 / fm was driving his Nissan Armada in Calabasas The morning superstar also known as Kurt Alexander told KABC/tv he was waiting at a red light with a friend when “I heard a screech but not long…and everything from the back of the car went to the front” An unfortunate incident to be sure but something commonplace in Southern California But TMZ learned this was hardly your usual rear-ender Upon exiting his auto to encounter the other driver Big Boy discovered something was truly amiss “He just crashed into me and he’s in the car drinking” said Big Boy talking to police on the phone “He is still in the car still drinking!” Turns out the driver of the other car was Michael Pettersen an LA prosecutor Big Boy was shocked to see what happened next after he approached Pettersen “As we were sitting here talking to him he gets his bottle of vodka and he’s just sitting there Just dazing just drinking” The police arrived at the scene pulling the drunk driver out of his vehicle when his pants dropped to the ground Big was unharmed in the incident “That seatbelt kept me in place and saved my life” Pettersen‘s currently on leave of absence from LA County DA’s Office since January 2017 Photo from TMZ: Big Boy is standing with his phone recording the unfolding situation In other news: Ronn Owens former midday Talker at KABC and KGO-San Francisco had kind words for Senator John McCain who passed away over the weekend “Simply put Senator John McCain was a courageous man of integrity Among other things I admired him for being willing to go against the GOP party line when he felt it was necessary and very much respected him for refusing to leave his POW camp until all members of his unit were released Senator McCain was a welcome guest many times on my show on KGO810 and I was grateful for his endorsement of my book The way he dealt with his illness and pending death is a valuable lesson for all of us We will miss his smarts and his heart The country is indebted to him for his service Rest in peace John I wish there were more public servants like you!” Nostalgia Sunday -12 Years Ago Today Radio People Continually Get Shot Out of a Cannon August 26 2006 Peter Tilden was standing on one leg in the driveway of his summer rental in Montecito near Santa Barbara while balancing his cell phone in order to get reception The rental home had no phone The mobile call came last Thursday from his boss KZLA pd RJ Curtis What What do you mean there is no more Country music Hello And that’s how KZLA morning man Tilden learned that his 5-plus year gig with the Emmis outlet had come to an end “I had no indication it was going to happen but we’ve been hearing for years that it could flip” said Peter Peter appearing on the KTLA/Channel 5 Morning News yesterday “I was saddened when it happened – more for the format than for me” Peter said by a land line phone from his home when he returned from vacation He had just returned from visiting the station to say his hellos and goodbyes “We’re friends We’re close I go out socially with Val gm Maki and her husband and Rick Cummings Emmis exec and his wife I love those people It’s hard when you’re not going to see the people you love and respect a lot every day” When Peter got home there were over 5000 emails He said it took five minutes to scroll to the bottom of his email message list His voicemail messages were at capacity for days “It was insane every time I cleaned out the messages there would be 60 more calls It didn’t stop The phones just ring and ring” “I love the format” insisted Peter “I love the artists Most importantly the listeners are the best because they are so rabid and so aware that it made everything special” Peter likened radio people to circus folk “We can’t help it We’re circus folk 24/7 One of these days your back is going to get injured being shot out of a cannon and falling off the trapeze and you go ‘I just can’t help it’ We should all retire in Sarasota but this is the only way to explain what we do It’s in your blood” Peter with Sam Rubin on yesterday’s KTLA/Channel 5 Morning News “Radio is a wonderful medium” said Peter “It’s a magical medium and it’s an immediate medium I’ll miss it there and maybe somebody will resurrect it The format will make money” Peter is hopeful that the format will be saved “It is too important of a format It is too emotional for too many people Tim McGraw and Faith Hill sold out three days at the Staples Center” Could anything have been done to secure the continuation of the Country format at KZLA Was it the music The promotion The presentation Or was it the changing demographics of the marketplace Peter said he would hate to second guess what had been done with the station during the Country era “They did what they did We were a very successful radio station They made a lot of money and sold out every concert and it was a wonderful group of people Maybe they were doing fine but they were looking at the future They are allowed to project and go ‘this market is tough and what’s it going to be in another year with the ethnicity in this market Maybe they made a prudent decision” Peter pointed to New York and San Francisco being major markets without a Country station “It’s a niche format but it’s a great format You can make a lot of money with it It’s very emotional I don’t have to tell you how connected I am to it It’s my life 24/7 I’m immersed in it with the artists and producing videos It’s not an act It’s my love It is hard in a big metropolitan city to sell a format that’s a niche format that the Arbitron doesn’t help you with The ratings methodology doesn’t help a niche format” As far as another station taking on the format Peter is hopeful He doesn’t care if it is AM or fm “You just don’t want it to go away and be forgotten I don’t want Country radio to be a footnote I cannot believe New York hasn’t launched another Country station” Peter appears with Doug McIntyre for an hour on KABC this morning in the 8 am hour KABC is no stranger to Peter He worked morning drive doing Talk with Ken Minyard in the mid-1990s “I loved Talk radio when I did it but the listeners to a Country music format are something special” What’s next for Peter He’s hopeful about finding another station to take on the format He claims that he is talking to a number of people who might like to invest in the format “I’ve got to make a living and figure out what I’m going to do I’m really sad about the format going away That was my world Hopefully someone will come up with a plan” Even though Peter mentioned a couple of times that the format can make money he philosophized about the changing business climate It is no longer okay to just make a profit it is improvement in year-to-date and month-to-date “That’s just the world we’re living in with a public company That’s unfortunate” lamented Peter At the end of yesterday’s Channel 5 Morning News segment Peter’s son Robert read a promo while Michaela Pereira and Carlos Amezcua listened Peter has no sour grapes “There’s not a negative thing I can say about this I can’t be critical of them For more than 5 years they treated me so well and with such respect and integrity” Earlier this week Peter appeared on the phone with KPWR’s Big Boy They shared the same building both being owned by Emmis Broadcasting “I made Big Boy laugh” said Peter “In radio I always joked that my last job I went in and it was kinda dark and I sat on the guy who replaced me They can’t ease into it They just had to flip the switch” The new “Movin’ 939” Rhythmic Hot AC is now in its 8th day since Country was dropped from the frequency Rick Dees will anchor the new format and he is due to debut once his team is assembled It is expected to launch sometime after the Labor Day weekend Email Saturday 82518 Format Creators “Great great job on your column! Good luck to John Sebastian health-wise and good luck to him with his new format idea Radio desperately needs innovation and new ideas and thinking But you won’t find a ‘bold operator’ in the LA market willing to try something new No way LA radio has seen zero risk-taking or innovation for at least 25 years The problem is most top LA stations are cluster-owned by either iHeart or Entercom formerly CBS Clusters like these are care-taken by local corporate eunuchs Market Managers Regional VP’s and other fancy titles But they have zero decision-making ability or willingness to innovate who won’t even get a cup of coffee let alone try a new format without being told to do it by their corporate management bosses in New York Maybe Cumulus and KLOS if that station continues to just be a mediocre presence in the market may try something But again that kind of risk taking trying a new format would need to be driven by Cumulus corporate Long gone are the days when LA radio stations had multiple different owners with on-site local general managers that actually were willing to and had the power to take risks and innovate” – Bob McKay Hall of Fame “Great to read about your idea for a Southern California Radio Hall of Fame With the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters getting a new president Shotgun Tom Kelly I will urge him to place it on the agenda for consideration Our thanks for all you do” – Don Graham More HOF “Southern California Radio Hall of Fame – damned good idea Don” – Larry Huffman Hall of Fame Precedent “I think having a So Cal Radio Hall of Fame is a great idea actually I thought the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters had one With all the talented forefathers from our area who have laid the foundation of radio as we know it this should be a given I remember in the late 70’s – early 80’s Universal Studios had an exhibit with Grammy winners through the years There were 10 – 15 display cases with gold records and you pressed a button and could hear selections such as the winner of Song of the Year Something like that would be a great exhibit busts of Hall of Fame winners with a recording of their signature bits and will help preserve the memory of the standard bearers I hope there’s interest in this I think new generations of listeners would like to hear whose shoulders the Ryan Seacrests and Frosty Heidi and Franks stand on” Welcome back from your vacation I love your ‘visit’ to the Stones! That’s funny Re the radio you ‘missed’ while you were gone: KNX still runs too many commercials but the additional special reports about Aretha Franklin and Manafort and Cohen’s trials were breaking news at it’s best Also regarding the news about the death of Aretha Franklin KOLA/fm still has some semblance of a news feed and when the morning co-host Donna D was literally handed the news of her passing she started crying Jesse Duran was compassionate enough to say it was okay and gave her time to pull herself together But it reminded me of how important it is for radio stations to have some kind of news presence or link when news breaks – Julie T Byers One-Of-A-Kind “Your readers rightfully named the obvious best LARP’s of all time including the obvious: Robert W best single-person morning show ever Steele the finest example of how compelling high-energy radio could be Mary Turner the ultimate atmosphere-creating AOR talent Bill Handel maybe the best example ever of a topics-based ‘Voice of LA’ Jim Ladd no one is as soulful or as genuine Dr Demento the musicologist who created an entire genre of loony laugh records But my Top Ten would include four others not mentioned Easily the most overlooked of all would be Shadoe Stevens who some said was the father of AOR for what he did at KRLA in 1971 – 73 when he merged album cuts and Top 40 He was the ultimate theater of the mind production genius reference his July 1972 collection of new station KRLA ‘Phase II’ ID’s and on his station ID’s he created for KMET His on-air delivery was both ironic leading to his Fred Rated tv spots and Hollywood Squares persona and truly groovy reference his KRLA interview with Steven Stills for instance His ‘Soup or Star’ contest on KRLA was a brilliant reaction to KHJ’s ‘Jesus Christ Superstar Contest’ on KHJ Also hugely overlooked was the KPPC dj who actually discovered Dr Demento Steven Clean Segal whose air work on KPPC and KMET stands up as the hippest funniest most stimulating air work on fm progressive radio He had fun with both Nixon era politics and the goofiness of his own underground music scene If you ask me he was as trailblazing as Howard Stern while never nearly as famous Bill Ballance was already part of history for being part of the hugely successful KFWB ‘Seven Swinging Gentlemen’ team 1958 – 62 that ruled the Southland until KRLA took over around 1963 But his funny-and-saucy Feminine Forum on KGBS in the early 70s basically wrote the book for reality tv shows and tell-all radio shows that would follow While Bobby Ocean’s on-air work was not always remarkable the station promos he produced for KHJ KFRC and first for KGB in the late 60s were always way too hip for the AM radio room His promos always made the station sound much better hipper and more happening than they ever were Only Morgan Steele and Ballance are no longer with us More reason to launch a So Cal Radio Hall of Fame” – Ken Leighton San Diego Laboe One-of-a-Kind “Thank you so much for including me in your summer series: One-of-a-kind LARP It turned out to be a nice birthday treat!

He got his initial radio experience on the campus station while attending Hudson Valley In Albany New York he worked at radio stations WHRL WABY and WSNY In 1975 the lure of Hollywood drew him to Southern California His booming voice enabled him to find work in Los Angeles at KRLA KHTZ and KSRF in Simi Valley at KWNK and in San Bernardino at KMEN He was a proud member of SAG for many years and appeared in many movies most notably Absolute Power Logan’s Run and The Rock And he worked on many tv shows For the last 14 years he was employed at the law office of Richard M Lester John had a heart of gold He was quirky opinionated interesting passionate and lovable always smiling or grinning He was a ‘walking encyclopedia’ with regard to old movies and old tv shows especially Give him a title he knew the actors the director and the year it came out John leaves behind many desolate co-workers good friends close and afar and a family that never got to say goodbye Next time you pass a 99 cent store please salute and recall John’s tips on the good buys you could find there No services A celebration of life will be held at a future date As John would say ‘stay tuned’” – Charlotte Gibbons Parallels “It seems we share some history with some variations I attended college in 1964 read Travels with Charley that year covered the Johnson-Goldwater saga and drank beer over much of America Later I also got suckered into one of those vanity presses It was just as Print on Demand was getting started It cost 1500 for ten paperback books and a listing in Books in Print Additional books cost a whopping 1555 each I think the company must have been started by a group of cemetery lot encyclopedia and used car salesmen I still have three of the ten books none of which ever sold for actual money I now have eight published books: four novels a memoir two cookbooks and a gift book Thanks to an eye-opening education about the publishing business all is going as I hoped it would go when you and I got swindled” – Steve Liddick Fredericks former news director of K-Earth/fm National Radio Day My thanks to Ted Zigenbusch for his kind words I always thought that you earned the legendary label after passing!” – Dave Armstrong HD Making Move “I just took a look at the full July 2018 PPM listing Albeit at the bottom it’s interesting to see an HD2 station – KROQ HD2 – making the survey I can’t remember any HD radio stations making the survey in the past so this may be a first in LA Personally KROQ HD2 is one of my favorites! Yes Either all-automation or simulcasts of local AMs or distant FMs I feel the biggest obstacle toward the growth of HD radio is the seeming lack of receivers If the proliferation of FM receivers back in the 70s and 80s was as non-existent as the growth of HD receivers seems to have been during the past 15 years I believe FM would have fallen flat on its face To a degree I’m sure Satellite radio and Internet radio has stolen HD radio’s thunder But if HD can be a standard accessory in all new vehicles and all home receivers going forward it might have a chance” – George Fair KABC at Bottom “Didn’t there used to be an AM station called KABC AM 790 ‘More Interesting Talk Radio’ 1 for YEARS completely down the toilet! So sad!!” – Alan F Ross Info on Venna Taylor “Just read in Barrett that you were looking for confirmation about your grandmother I subscribe to Newspaperscom The LA Times is one of the papers included I picked 1935 and typed in the name and I found a photo and blurb from September 16 1935 Near as I have been able to ascertain your grandmother’s first program for KRKD was on Monday November 5 1933 The last listing for her in the Times was from Monday January 29th 1945 Because the Times made an editorial decision to drop the KRKD listings beginning February 1st 1945 there is no way to tell how far into 1945 she remained on the air I checked several suburban papers but they did not carry the KRKD listings There was no fanfare in the Times from the day your grandmother started her program KRKD just did not get much love from the Times as the bigger stations received She did well though by being on the air for 11 plus years!” – David Grudt Long Beach National Radio Day A to Ziegenbusch August 24 2018 During our time in Great Britain NationalRadioDay was celebrated with many of you sharing your radio journey Over the next couple of weeks LARadio will feature your Facebook stories This morning Ted Zigenbusch decades-long entertainer at KOST remembers … This marks my 50th consecutive year with a show on the radio sometime somewhere Not bad considering that I made my first tv appearance at age 5 and thought I could never live without a tv camera and a live audience in front of me But radio has been more than a career It has been an incredible journey of love and appreciation for my audience my mentors my managers and co-workers Also I get to wear my favorite T-shirts and shorts to work most days That wouldn’t happen on tv Thank you to all the K/men in San Bernardino for giving me my first on-air job while in high school A special thanks to longtime friend Pat Shaughnessy who turned the programming of that station over to me when I was only 20 Thanks to Jim James for giving me my first morning show that lasted nearly 8 years before I left for San Diego Thanks to John Lynch who believed in me enough to let me run both Mighty 690 and 91X in San Diego during the glory days of Top 40 and Album Rock Thanks to Jim Price for stealing me away to KGB and becoming like a second dad when my own father passed away Jim’s encouragement and radio secrets sent my career into the ozone both on the air and consulting stations nationwide Thanks to Jhani Kaye for allowing me to join the staff at KOST in 1982 and creating a show that kept me from leaving for greener pastures and the two other programming offers in southern California A special thanks to Liz Kiley who undoubtedly was also behind that generous offer that made it impossible for me to leave KOST I am forever grateful for our friendship over the decades Jhani and Liz Thanks to the legendary Dave Armstrong for talking me into doing my first full-time morning show in Los Angeles and Orange Counties despite many decades of subbing on mornings at KOST Thank you to Stella Prado Kuipers for hiring me back over the telephone when it was the right time to finally join the KOST family again You’re the best! Thanks to Greg Ashlock for being almost more excited than me when I returned to KOST Thanks to Andrew Jeffries for teaching me how to prolong my career well beyond my specialty trademark shows Thank you to my best friend since high school Commander Chuck Street who stood by me through the thick and the thin of this crazy business Thanks to my former KOST pd Johnny Chiang for passing along what one program director called The best recommendation that I’ve ever heard! Thanks to my only two morning show co-hosts Robin Benic and Lauren Kitchens Steward who helped me ALWAYS sound like we were having way too much fun while still getting paid And lastly thanks to my current radio family since 1982 at my home base Thank you Mark Wallengren Kari Steele Maggi Mayfield Karen Sharp and all the others who have passed through those illustrious halls I wish I could mention everyone who is responsible for being where I am today but I would need an entire book Lastly thanks to my wife April and my kids for putting up with a radio guy who never dreamed of doing anything but entertaining the people LARadio Was On Holiday 88-823 One-Of-A-Kind LARP August 7 2018 Our summer series recognizing the one-of-a-kind LARP who stand out as a unique personality who not only has withstood the test of time but stands alone as being unduplicable comes to an end This was never meant to be a contest but rather a tribute to those performers who truly left an indelible mark Some readers were not in the Southland when a particular LARP was at his/her best so we asked you provide some insight on why you thought there were unique Some have already been published We leave on holiday later today and thought we would provide all contributions new and old for your perusal We’ll be back in late AugustThanks for taking the time to salute our outstanding unreplicable Los Angeles Radio People artwork from Etsy Rick Sietsema KNX/CBS Radio retired: My knee-jerk reaction was The Real Don Steele Then I thought about it for a bit and it’s not a simple question Rick Dees Casey Kasem Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Corolla used LA Radio to launch national careers across multiple platforms Charlie Tuna probably set a record for most frequencies modulated in a single major market spread across four decades Wolfman Jack is a legend And you can’t ignore Vin Scully But I think the best answer to your question is Art Laboe Art is the face of local radio and connecting to an audience He’s almost as old as radio itself His name his face and his Oldies but Goodies franchise are known around the world I had the privilege of working with Art at KRLA in the mid-1980s long before I became aware of his historic past I can’t imagine that anyone from LA Radio made a bigger difference in pop culture than Art Laboe Mike Hagerty iHeartMedia: LARadio has had several one-of-a-kind personalities There was no Art Laboe clone before or since anywhere in America The sophisticated wit and astonishing vocabulary of Bill Ballance was not going to be found anywhere other than with Bill himself Bob Crane was to radio what Ernie Kovacs was to tv but in his own unique way Find me a jock who was ‘just like Bob Crane’ Johnny Magnus – ain’t nobody better than he a line he once used about Wes Montgomery when it comes to knowing the music and sharing that knowledge which he still does every Saturday and Sunday morning on 881 The Real Don Steele spawned a host of imitators all doomed to fail because as Robert W Morgan arguably another original said if you try to sound like him you just end up sounding like an idiot B Mitchel Reed pioneered the concept of an FM album rock jock and proved you didn’t have to sound or be stoned to do it Jimmy Rabbitt often was or sounded stoned when he did it sometimes on the same station as BMR but he’s an original too There was only one Wolfman Jack Or Frazer Smith for that matter I never heard anybody do radio the way Lee Baby Simms did it Or Bobby Ocean And how about Phil Hendrie I’m sure I’m leaving out names I hope other readers fill the blanks I’m unintentionally leaving Bottom line – the ranks of LARPs includes a whole host of originals which is probably how they made it to – and made it in – Los Angeles Steve Thompson: Jim Hawthorne was voicing another character “Skippy” long before Phil Hendrie gave us Margaret Gray Bobbie Dooley and Bud Dickman Jim Hawthorne was punctuating his programs with drop-ins and sound bites long before Jack Armstrong and Jim Healy started using drop-ins and sound bites Jim Hawthorne was doing “stream of consciousness” long before Robin Williams came along And who but Hawthorne could have invented the Hogan-twanger Julie Byers: I would have to say Dr Demento He combines a love of radio/music history and a truly wacky sense of humor I first discovered him when I was in high school first on KPCC then KMET and excitedly taped some of his show and brought it to school When I played “Vatican Rag” and “Shaving Creme” during lunch my friends loved it He introduced us to old time novelties like “Pico and Sepulveda” and new artists “Weird Al” and “Barnes and Barnes” Even LARP’s like Hudson amp Landry made it into the program’s weekly “Top Ten” later becoming the “Funny Five” There have been imitations but nothing like what we grew up with “Under the Smogberry Trees” and I’m glad Dr Demento is still around on satellite radio Thanks for the remembrance of Anthony Bourdain! Bob Scott: You asked about LARP who were great storytellers While I’m not sure if he qualifies as an LARP I believe that Paul Harvey was certainly a unique personality and could spin a yarn with the best of them I never cared for his political commentary but I thought his “rest of the story” pieces were brilliant First of course was his stilted delivery that made him sound different from everyone else on radio Then he’d get you totally engaged in a character until you were sure you knew where the story was going until he’d hit you with the twist: An ending you never saw coming I remember one about a prisoner who was released from death row because a Broadway producer wanted to use him in a show I was wracking my brain to figure out who it was and then the twist! The producer had gone to a dog kill shelter and rescued the dog who played Sandy in the Broadway show Annie I never would have guessed! Rich Piombino: I was fortunate enough to work at KMET from 1983 – 1986 Having previously worked with some amazing air personalities on previous occasions I was especially proud to share space at The Mighty Met with Cynthia Fox Pat “Paraquat” Kelley Jeff Gonzer and a man who I feel is the best rock dj of all time Jim Ladd Honestly I didn’t meet him for a full three months after I started at KMET on June 6 1983 One Friday night on the way out I stuck my head in the studio said hello he nodded and shook my hand I spent many “late hour” evenings at the station so I was in a position to be an average listener with the distinct advantage of being 15 feet from the studio What I remember most and what makes Jim the “essential” rock jock is based on his overwhelming knowledge of the artists and the music much of it based on personal relationships with many of them Second are the narratives — if you’ve ever seen heard Bruce Springsteen at shows we all know the kind of intros Bruce makes as lead up to the songs Jim is amazing there – I always remember best how he intro’d Panama from Van Halen any number of Pink Floyd and Doors tracks As a matter of fact hearing Jim’s intro of LA Woman sealed my respect for ‘both’ Jim’s the Doors were the second and third concerts I ever saw in the late 60’s at Madison Square Garden and the Felt Forum in NYC Jim Ladd and I did a promotion together when Elektra released Dance On Fire the first Doors video compilation We gathered fans and listeners for a “Dinner with the Doors” including Robbie John and Ray – it’s no coincidence that it was Jim Ladd who rounded out that foursome After I left The Met I went to work for Norm Pattiz Thom Ferro and Brian Heimerl at Westwood One We were assigned to tape one of Roger Waters’ early Radio KAOS shows at Great Woods outside of Boston Roger had handpicked Jim to “narrate’”the dj parts on that record thus capping an amazing era and close-up opportunity to work with one of the all-time greats These memories are sealed forever KM Richards: Without a doubt in my mind the most creative person to ever inhabit Los Angeles’ and later the nation’s airwaves was Stan Freberg Not simply content to do “theatre of the mind” Stan turned the mental pictures his words created on their side inside out backwards on multiple diagonals and any other absurd way one can think of If Stan hadn’t pioneered his kind of comedy would we have had the parodies of Weird Al Yankovic technically also a LARP from his appearances with Dr Demento The absurd one-liners of Gary Owens The “gag commercials” that inhabited countless morning shows over the years And yet even among those who followed in his footsteps no one could quite achieve duplicating Stan completely That’s why he was one of a kind Rich Brother Robbin: NEVER to be duplicated You already know my choices: Robert W Morgan and The Real Don Steele will never be duplicated on OR off-air There were other greats who lasted longer Rick Dees comes immediately to mind but no one will ever do for us old timers what Morgan and Steele did Reason 1: they weren’t copying anyone else As you know I basically got NOWHERE as a jock copying Steele When some record guy touted me to Buzz Bennett I sent a tape from KRUX Buzz ‘heard something’ even in that pukey Steele-copycat demo On that tape was a promo I did for my Sunday night Oldies show up and perky but ‘in my own voice’ which brought Buzz out of his chair saying ‘THAT’s the real you not that pukey Real Don Steele copycat bullshit’ Per his instructions I stopped puking that very night I started using my own voice in its natural state with a big smile on my lips thereby becoming my own man as a jock which obviously worked Not to be immodest but I doubt there’ll never be another one of me either Johnny St Thomas: I would like to add Johnny Hayes who on tracks would sound ‘live’ and when ‘live’ could deliver a great story about the music and artist Gary Lane: Jimmy O’Neil would be my entry Jimmy had that great voice started barely out of his teens great interviewer liked the one with Phil Everly and hosted the tv show Shindig in his early twenties Fascinating dj and person Met him at the Apple Pan for a late lunch with Lee Simms Lee was at KRLA as Ol’ Doc Frail and Jimmy was at KDAY And the Wolfman what can I say Movies that gravelly voice blasting over the radio airwaves at XERB to name one You could hear him just about all over west of the Mississippi Jeffrey Freedman: Jim Healy was not really a story teller in the sense of Ralph Story or Huell H but Lohman amp Barkley did that soap opera spoof it seems every morning I woke up to their program for years After the top of the hour news a song would be played and then they would do their thing until the bottom of the hour News headlines another song and then another dose of them until the hour ended The “Light of my Life” segment seemed prepared but was probably ad libbed for the most part I never got the impression that Lohman prepared for anything How he remembered all those voices and could segue between them was remarkable – Maynard Farmer W Eva Schneider Noel Contendere etc Plus their satire on Sam Yorty aka “Mayor Sam” who worked in the “pointy building” as Mayor of “Los Angle-eez” In “Light of my Life” they described the people “living their span of years’ in Pine City a ‘typical small town’ in Iowa” Alan Oda: I think the LA radio veteran – make that outstanding LA radio veteran – Diane Thompson had it right when she stated “I think anyone who has been hired in the Los Angeles radio market and survived is a superstar” in an LARadiocom column a few weeks ago That being said when Don Barrett asked about who was a one-of-a-kind talent in Los Angeles radio the name of “Sweet” Dick Whittington immediately came to mind His many feats have been well-documented over the years from the marriage of the Queen Mary to the invasion of Catalina Island I could easily write more than a page of the memories I have of Dick Whittington and his inspired folly When he wasn’t sharing what sort of day he was having he was brutally honest if he was having “a day” or if he was feeling good he’d give us something to laugh about Which highlights the uniqueness of the Whittington humor Much of comedy nowadays is about laughing at others Dick had us laughing at him and with him He made fun of himself and could also lso had us laughing at ourselves Dick taught us you don’t have to be viciously insulting to be funny Sweet Dick with his producer preparing for the invasion of Catalina below is the Whittington and producer Douglas McEwan at a recent function Laughter can be a weapon but Dick used it as a way of easing the craziness of what life portends Seventeen years ago in the aftermath of 9/11 so many on the LA radio dial did so much to offer comfort to a hurting community yet I realized that day how much I missed having Dick Whittington on the air He would have had the offered the reassurance to let us know we would get through this and that we would once again find something not someone to laugh about as time started to heal the deep wounds of tragedy And am I the only one that think the current political climate would be a goldmine for Whittington’s “Clean Thoughts on a Dirty Wall” His Sweetness is missed but I’m the richer to have been able to have been part of his loyal listenership Dodger Steve: I’d like toss my vote into the ring of fire and offer Bill Handel as “that one-of-a-kind LARP who is so distinctive that she or he could never be duplicated” He’s quick witted uber intelligent smart “assy” enough to not be insulting and has more corn in his shtick than an Iowa corn field at harvest time He’s also very loyal to the KFI audience by not wanting to go syndicated at least his Mon-Fri morning show He’s an entertainment time bomb that continually goers off and that alone makes him unable to be so and he can’t be duplicated…AND THANK GOD FOR THAT! and Chris Bury: I think Bill Handel should be considered He started with a legal advice show on KABC He moved to KFI He has been talking and giving marginal legal advice for about 24 years Handel on the Law is syndicated Has a website Has been supportive of other newbie KFI hosts He has had to evolve as the pc-osity has evolved Danny Lemos: Three names missing from your list in my view 1 Rick Dees I was employed by Rick for quite a few years and I may be a bit biased but Rick was a powerhouse of LARadio throughout the 1980’s into the 90’s and into the 2000’s To this day when I meet the parents of my graduating students each year at Cal State Long Beach they STILL freak out – 37 years later – that I was Chuy from La Puente on the “Rick Dees in The Morning show” Talk about a legacy! “My grandma grew up with you guys!” is a double-edged compliment but I’ll take it 2 Jay Thomas Jay was a legend a true tv and radio star… and he was a total gentleman We met in person only one time at a promotional parade Jay shook Rick’s hand and walked past him to the “worker bees” who stood around ‘You’re only as good as your team’ Jay boasted about us and introduced himself to all the writers and young producers A real class act 3 Mary “the Burner” Turner She was a rock star and the sultriest voice in LARadio during the 70’s When I started at KMET in 1977 I was elevated to superstar status by my college housemates simply because I worked in the same building as “the Burner” Every night at 6 pm when she kicked off her Candies and curled her feet under her in the chair in front of the turntables remember them she reigned as LA’s rock-and-roll queen of the night She had no equal but lots of imitators Her very nature was her style – easy-going respectful and a lot of fun She knew how to make you feel like you were the only one listening Other contributions: Bill Earl: Emperor Hudson Andrew Schermerhorn: Vin Scully Vin Scully Vin Scully Great story tellers have also included Doug McIntyre Charlie Tuna and Larry King All of them have kept me riveted in appointment listening Margie Cherry: I think that Tim Conway Jr qualifies as a good radio storyteller Chris Taylor: The Real Don Steele Don Graham: Jim Hawthorne Rebecca Davis: My suggestion for best dj’s are Rick Dees Dick Clark Casey Kasem and Tom LeykisMaggie McKay: Shotgun Tom Kelly KBIG Seems to be the

a Southern California Radio Hall of Fame Every few years we attempt to generate a call to action for a Southern California Radio Hall of Fame The goal of LARadiocom and my three books Los Angeles Radio People that have been published during the past 23 years has been to recognize those who have traveled from city to city as they perfected their craft in order to reach the nirvana of LA broadcasting This project turned out to be an honest full-scale attempt to include all those radio people who’ve spun records reported news covered the sports scene or were talk show hosts But there are some who have excelled It is time to elevate the process and create an organization – the Southern California Radio Hall of Fame – recognizing today’s radio professionals as well as the pioneers who shaped radio in Southern California How can it be that there is no Southern California Radio Hall of Fame In addition to recognition of the excellent talent who entertained us over the decades the facility should be dedicated to the acquisition and preservation of radio artifacts memorabilia audio equipment and written and oral history I visualize the location within a highly trafficked area eg Universal City Walk Getting a storefront donated in turn is a traffic builder for the Hall of Fame Our yearly induction could take place at one of the Universal theatres Is this something the Southern California Broadcasters Association could spearhead Perhaps the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters will step up and help with the process I know our radio leaders are concerned with making budgets and working on the corporate bottom line but Southern California radio is rich vibrant and fascinating and should be recognized The young kids coming along should know where we have been in order to figure out where we are going Does this idea resonate with you Do you have some thoughts on how to take the first step Email Saturday 8418 Dave Zorn Remembered “I only met Dave Zorn a couple of times We had previous market experience in common All I remember is a gracious friendly warm individual who I liked instantly I can only imagine how the people he worked with must feel Safe travels ahead my friend” – Mike Nolan Zorn Special “I met Dave Zorn one time while filming and producing a presentation for The NAB Convention in Los Angeles in the early 80s It was call ‘Radio Across America’ He was such a nice man who took the time between broadcasts to show our crew the famous basement at the CBS Broadcast Center on Sunset Blvd The basement was filled with old sets from many television shows that had been filmed there He was a gentle man who I very much enjoyed listening to Our family of LARadio talent has lost one of the best! Rest in Peace Mr Zorn” –Jim Duncan Owner of Jim Duncan Creative Zorn was Collegial and Funny “Dave Zorn is gone from our world but as long as there are people who remember him fondly he continues to live in a way They say it’s what you do when no one is looking and there is no payoff for you which reveals true character My first day at KNX Ed Pyle news director marched me into the main studio at Columbia Square to show me how it’s done Dave was on the air with Dick Helton and after an hour or two it occurred to me that the REAL show happened in the studio while the spot breaks ran They were so funny and collegial They demonstrated a real respect and love for each other I had done radio and tv for years but news anchoring was a relatively new skill for me Dave was warm helpful in a million ways and this newbie will always be grateful for the humanity and character he showed me That’s what I always thought big time radio was going to be at its best Ed was right THAT’S HOW ITS DONE” – Larry Van Nuys Zorn Style “For years my broadcast buddies here in San Diego – Gabriel Wisdom and Michael Berger – and I would always greet each other ‘Dave Zorn style’ with ‘Good Morning Southern California’ We looked up to Dave as professional dude 1 Dave was a true gentleman and a broadcasting professional! – Jeff Prescott La Jolla Zorn Will Be Missed “That’s such a shame Thanks for letting me know My deepest sympathies to his family and all who held him dear He shall certainly be missed Rest in Peace Dave” – Laura Brodian Freas’Beraha Zorn’s Distinctive Voice “Very sad Dave Zorn had a distinctive voice as I recall” – Christopher A Bury Zorn Good Guy “Dave Zorn was one of the really great guys among a lot of really great people who worked at KNX Newsradio Sorry to see his passing” – Tom Bernstein Zorn a Caring Soul “Twenty-five years ago I was the media spokesperson for LA General Hospital Dave Zorn called me live on air when three of our doctors were shot in the emergency room He allowed me the time to correct some rumors and to provide reassurance that care was being provided during the chaos We developed a nice friendship and when we both retired he visited the beautiful garden in Thousand Oaks where I was volunteering He was a caring gentle soul with a wonderful voice now silenced Rest in Peace dear friend” – Harvey Kern West Los Angeles Great Broadcaster “If you are a longtime listener to KNX Newsradio in Los Angeles you know the name and inimitable voice of Dave Zorn We lost Dave less than two weeks after he was diagnosed with cancer Dave was more than a great broadcaster and newsman he was a gentle and generous mentor to so many of us and a beloved colleague to all He had a great sense of humor and an uncanny way of putting everyone at ease even in the pressure cooker of a newsroom He and Jack Salvatore lwere such a memorable anchor team Here they are circa mid-80’s They stayed very close all these years Jack flew to Michigan this week to join Dave’s family at his bedside The photo of Dave and me marks a little broadcast history: August 2005 Just seconds earlier Dave had finished anchoring the last KNX newscast from Columbia Square the station’s storied home since 1938 The end of an era Dave you are so loved and admired Just the best RIP” – Gail Eichenthal from her Facebook page MAT Remembers Zorn “I was shocked to hear Dave Zorn was so ill and saddened and stunned that he passed so quickly I remember him fondly He was so well liked and regarded!” – Mark Austin Thomas Zorn’s Voice Provided Comfort “So sad to hear this I never had the pleasure of meeting Dave Zorn when I worked at CBS but he was a staple of my radio on KNX One of the familiar confident voices that provides comfort even in the face of bad news He will certainly be missed” – Christian Wheel Zorn’s Son “I come with bad news My father Dave Zorn passed away this afternoon from a short battle with liver cancer Words can’t express how sorry I am for my stepmother Carolynn and her family Keep them in your thoughts He tried to hang around until myself and family got there but it became too much We Facetimed last Friday and it was great to see and talk to him one last time We got a lot out and it was a very good thing Since that time I started to write a blog No one knew that except my wife Nicole I had to get things out of my head and put them somewhere and that was what I came up with It’s a little long so bear with me I had a lot to say I’ll leave for now with this: My dad was a Cleveland Browns fan a die hard I got him a Tim Couch jersey and he wore it with pride If there’s any justice the Browns will have a great season this year and maybe make the playoffs I’ll be rooting for them Enjoy the blog and thank you everyone for your love the past week or so For those who knew him or want to spread the word please share” – David Zorn Zorn Stood Out “I didn’t know Mr Zorn personally but certainly knew him as a broadcaster It takes an extra effort to stand out on an all-News station but he certainly did so Condolences to his family and thank you to Dave for many hours of news over the years Your efforts are most appreciated” – Michael Wick Zorn the Real DealThank you so much for posting these stories about Dave Zorn I knew him from Phoenix and he was the real deal – Valerie Geller Fox Love “George Green put Lonnie Lardner in touch with me many years ago She was and is a terrific person Speaking of love stories my wife Valerie and I celebrated our 65th anniversary a few weeks ago on July 5 Marrying Valerie was the best thing that ever happened to me Nothing is in second place” – Bob Fox KNX Traffic Jam “I agree with Steve Thompson’s comments on KNX’s handling of their own traffic reports They treat listeners like children They put so much importance on telling us the names of their traffic reporters six times per hour Heck the main news anchors only get their names mentioned on the air five times an hourand how many airborne crafts does KNX have I’ve only detected no more than one 1 traffic report from the aircraft when the reporter is introduced as being in ‘Sky 5’ or ‘Sky 4’ etc If they actually have five individual aircraft that’d just maybe justify puffing up their chest to gloat about that investment but I doubt they have the ability to put up more than one at any given time even in fire emergencies and don’t tell me that taped reports from Channel 2 or Channel 9 add to KNX’s fleet Another thing that bothers me: the obvious commercials for Channel 2 and Channel 9 when the KNX anchor introduces one of the tv station’s anchors so that Jeff or Suzie or Pat can promote what we’d see if we tuned in to their evening newscasts AND THEN when we hear the KNX anchor tell the tv anchor that we ‘will be sure to tune in’ the KNX anchor then says ‘and that referring to the tv station promo is all part of our in-depth team coverage!’ Whoop-dee-doo When does a commercial for their sister tv stations somehow make it part of the radio station’s ‘in-depth team coverage’ of the news Hey KNX give us the news without being so pompous and condescending Try listening on line to how WTOP Washington DC’s all-News station handles their news presentation You’d learn a lot about what I’m talking about” – Steve Nieto Yorba Linda More Traffic “I disagree that KNX should lessen its number of traffic reports per hour Assuming I have to get somewhere on time I leave early enough I’m guessing However once on the road I am suddenly sitting in bumper to bumper traffic I WANT to know as frequently as possible how late I can expect to be based on the most current traffic conditions Many might disagree with me but under those conditions I’d wish there would be more not fewer traffic reports” – Laura Brodian Freas’Beraha KRKD Personality “My grandmother used to perform on the radio at KRKD radio during the 1930s Her name was Venna Taylor or maiden name was Hansen I have been looking for confirmation of this for quite some time when I came across your article on radio personalities in the Los Angeles area and wanted to know if you have any information regarding the line-up of performers on KRKD during the 1930 My grandmother had a wonderful voice and sang every chance she got I have heard the stories of her radio days and would love to find some confirmation of those events Thank you for your help” – Richard Taylor Temecula grayglow1gmailcom Anyone Have the Big One “It was great reading the update from Mary Lyon! I seem to recall that in her KRTH days the station and maybe KHJ did a fascinating special simulating how it would cover ‘The Big One’ had it just hit LA Does anyone have an aircheck” – Ethan Harp ethanharpgmailcom Ward Practice “Thanks for the story about my private practice and crisis work I am getting positive feedback from your readers including my family and radio friends” – Cameron Ward cameronwardlawcom AT 40 Memories “Regarding memories of Casey Kasem and American Top 40 I remember both WGAR and WPIX/fm running the show in 1970 but it seemed slightly out-of-place as WGAR was mostly Oldies On December 26 1971 we were treated to a special AT40 Christmas countdown however when Casey got to Snoopy’s Christmas by the Royal Guardsman he said they didn’t have the song available Interestingly at the next station break WPIX/fm did play the song from an LP On the 5th year anniversary of AT40 they replayed its first show boy was Casey’s style much more energetic Also of note AT40 sometimes took liberties with the records they played Convention 72 was a novelty record by the Delegates AT40 did their own edit from the original 5 minutes 7 seconds Still my favorite countdown show was Dan Ingram and his ‘Top 30 Satellite Survey’ which KKHR ran from the Radio Radio syndication service offered by CBS in 1984” – Chime Hart Sherman Oaks Couple of Blasts “First let me send kudos to Rick Dees for obviously donating his voice talents to KQLH Obviously a low-power FM doesn’t have the money to afford someone of Dees’ stature so it has to be a labor of love on his part I also noted that two of the three stations airing Wolfman Jack the Santa Rosa actually Guerneville one is the exception are also LPFMs I hope the syndicator is similarly making allowances for the lack of funds to pay full rate BTW KOPA in San Diego which is owned by the Pala Band of Mission Indians changed its call letters to KPRI in March after the calls were given up by Educational Media Foundation in December on what is now KKLJ According to Wikipedia the tribe says they intend the new calls to stand for ‘Kupa Pala Rez Indians’ Kupa being the name of the ancestral home near Warner Springs of the majority of the Pala tribe Interesting!” – KM Richards Potpourri “I’m glad you had a good time at the concert at the Chumash Casino I haven’t been there in four years but I’ve always loved the place and the people there I hope you got a chance to go into Solvang for some pastries or to Pea Soup Andersen’s for Onion Cheese bread – unforgettable! Thanks for the update / news about Rick Dees I think that is wild about him going to a smaller market but once a dj always a dj And I thought I was one of the few who’ve noticed the lack of any 60’s and most 70’s music on KOLA Except for the Casey Kasem shows on Saturdays you’d think you were listening to KRTH It shows there is a market for every kind of music and Oldies too! I’ve got a new one for you: Have you ever heard of Sirius or one of the other Satellite channels coming in on a regular FM frequency Someone in the north Arcadia / Pasadena area has some very eclectic music tastes that I’ve picked up on 951 normally KFRG once or twice a week Everything from a syndicated Oldies package to a mix of Big Band 50’s and 60’s music I picked it up the first time Christmas before last then last year and now a couple of afternoons a week The radius is from Huntington Drive and Sunset in Arcadia to NW Pasadena and it blocks out KFRG until I leave that area No commercials except for the Oldies package which comes complete with local event calendars from Atlanta and Santa Cruz just one tune after another like someone putting records on It wouldn’t be so mysterious except that I don’t have a satellite receiver!” – Julie Byers Format Mixes KQLH’s LPFM manager Mark Westwood may be mistaken On the one hand he seems happy to put together a station that is reminiscent of the music that K-Earth left behind On the other hand he describes the format as a mix of the 40’s through the 70’s That’s not even close to KOLA or K-SURF Sounds more like The Music for the Rest of Your Life – Vince Daniels Smart-Talk KMET 1490-AM Zorn As a Kid August 3 2018 While preparing stories on Dave Zorn’s amazing life following his passing on July 30 I found this delicious story from when we met for the first time I was conducting interviews for my book Los Angeles Radio People Dave majored in broadcasting in college and began his commercial broadcasting career in 1969 “I can’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t want to be on the radio but I really got the ‘bug’ one rainy summer afternoon in Cleveland in the late ’50s when I ‘played radio’ with a neighborhood electronic genius who built a radio station in his basement We tape recorded our pretend rock ’n roll radio show with ‘your boy DZ on K-R-A-P’ and played it through a miniature transmitter my engineer friend built What a thrill I was on the radio! Imagine our surprise when we read in the newspaper the next morning that the FCC was looking for a pirate radio station that had appeared mysteriously knocking off the air a major Cleveland radio station When we read that the penalties for such a federal crime were multiple years in jail and thousands of dollars in fines we decided to find safer ways to spend our rainy summer afternoons” Tomorrow’s Email Saturday includes lotsa memories of Dave from his friends Photo: Dave was the last voice on KNX when the station physically moved from its home at Columbia Square to the Miracle Mile New Book Delilah is a Hall of Fame broadcaster who has had her syndicated show air on a number of LARadio stations over the years Currently it is heard on KFSH 959 The Fish She is the most listened-to woman on American radio with 9 million listeners On air for 25 years her shows are heartfelt often hilarious and warm Delilah Rene has written One Heart at a Time an uplifting and motivating look at life love and faith She talks about how she has opened her home to 10 adopted children making her a mom to 13 children with an effort underway to adopt a two-year-old baby boy to join the family She is the founder of an NGO called Point Hope created in 2004 to be a voice for forgotten children and their families The book will be available this fall New Format John Sebastian former programmer at KHJ KLOS KTWV and KZLA/KLAC left an ominous message last week about mysterious procedure taking place in a Phoenix Hospital He updated his situation on his Facebook page this week “Fifty years ago today I was hired for my first job in radio part-time at KPAM in Portland Thus began my long strange journey of adventure travel joy momentous challenges and accomplishment that has been the love of my life It’s ironic that I was recovering from back surgery back then even still wearing a body cast when I started this first gig And now on this historic anniversary at least for me I’m again recovering quite successfully from a hospital stay coming back from an Ablation for AFIB a heart rhythm issue” He’s now looking toward the future John is doing voice work but his heart is in programming He has an idea He has a format He’s looking for a bold operator “On a full signal this format has the potential to be 1 6” John said You can reach John at: johnsebvoicegmailcom In other news: Lonnie Lardner and her husband Josh Kaplan senior executive producer of Good Day LA stopped by Avila Beach for a visit on their way from a trip on the Central Coast Two nicer people you will never meet Josh had stories about working with Steve Edwards for a couple of decades He’s a huge fan Lonnie used to be on KFWB and KABC Radio back in the day as well as Channels 2 7 and ll Lonnie comes from a long line of news and entertainment professionals Her father Rex served as head writer for the trailblazing Ernie Kovacs Show in the 1950s her grandfather was national editor of The New York Times in the 1930s Her great uncle Ring Lardner is acknowledged as one of the best sports humorists of all time and his son Ring Jr is a multiple Oscar-winning screenwriter Lonnie serves on the Advisory Board of the LA Art Association … Great love story for 43 years Sandy and Wink Martindale celebrate their wedding anniversary this week Christina Kelley one of our K-EARTH favorites from years past will be anchoring morning newscasts on McIntyre in the Morning on KABC through next week while LeeAnn Tweeden is on vacation … It was 30 years ago this week that Rush Limbaugh began his syndication journey in reshaping Talk Radio While reminiscing this week about the past three decades the five-time Marconi Award winner played audio from his first radio job as a disc jockey at WIXZ in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in 1971 He’s currently heard locally on KEIB 1150AM … Art Bell certainly had a strong mixture of a drug cocktail when he died April 13 The Talk show host had in his system “the opioid Oxycodone the analgesic Hydrocodone Diazepam often marketed as Valium and Carisoprodol a muscle relaxant” according to the Las Vegas Review Journal All four had been legally prescribed He also suffered from COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypertension conditions which contributed to his death … Diane Suter most recently Trust administrator for KFWB until it was sold has been appointed chairman of the FCC’s Advisory Committee on Diversity and Digital Empowerment |

You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other big new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket referral fees of 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 25 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of

package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive

For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high!

In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in

copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of

It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years!

Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other big new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket referral fees of 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 25 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our customers’ feedback You’ll have us as your coaches as you go through the process Got a question Call us Want to run the numbers before you sign a lease Call us There’s no such thing as a silly

sales up or down Does the average dealer sell 2 per month or 22 This piece also reveals the current holdback information for brands that use it several don’t You’ll get the complete current sticker/MSRP and dealer invoice pricing data for the vehicles you’re considering covering all the trim levels and equipment packages Here’s a current list of model pricing available You’ll also get these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make The Big Bucks And How They Don’t Today Incentives Often Differ From Market To Market Here’s How To Check The Offers Where You Are The Two Big ‘Fake News’ Come-ons To Ignore The Myth Of Vehicle-Specific Dealer Cash Incentives The Crucial Financial Importance Of A Dealership’s Customer Satisfaction Rating Important Note On The Pricing Of Dealer-Installed Accessories Can You Get The

Lease Numbers With You If you tell us you’re leasing or undecided Our unique package includes all the information you need to negotiate the best price on for any one vehicle You may place an order here on a secure encrypted order form at any time Special Message To Previous Customers The Fighting Chance package is always changing to reflect new knowledge and the best ways to deal with the changing realities in the retail car business Sometimes the changes are dramatic For example the method for getting competitive bids differs substantially from the arms-length/one-step fax or email attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive Fighting Chance information package Important Note: This is a service for NEW VEHICLES ONLY We have no information on used vehicles Also we have NO CANADIAN PRICING DATA Copyright © 2017 Fighting

Someone needed the hunger for the truth the tenacity to uncover it and the guts to reveal it to you I was the only candidate James Bragg As a result: over 145000 new-car shoppers have used the Fighting Chance 3-step competitive bidding process to get the lowest price possible without walking into a single car store to haggle! With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING!

JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our customers’ feedback You’ll have us as your coaches as you go through the process Got a question Call us Want to run the numbers before you sign a lease Call us There’s no such thing as a silly question here In the package’s centerpiece How The PhoneEmail Attack Can Get You The Best Deal Saving You Time Money and Aggravation you’ll learn exactly what to do and say each step of the way as you conduct a competitive bidding process from your home or office Ideally you’ll enlist 9 or 10 dealers that you choose to make price proposals and you’ll go with the winner We also tell you the best day of each month to start the process You’ll receive our signature Big Picture analysis of how the brands and the specific vehicles you’re interested in have been doing in the market Are your model’s sales up or down Does the average dealer sell 2 per month or 22 This piece also reveals the current holdback information for brands that use it several don’t You’ll get the complete current sticker/MSRP and dealer invoice pricing data for the vehicles you’re considering covering all the trim levels and equipment packages Here’s a current list of model pricing available You’ll also get these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make

A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket referral fees of 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 25 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our customers’ feedback You’ll have us as your coaches as you go through the process Got a question Call us Want to run the numbers before you sign a lease Call us There’s no such thing as a silly question here In the package’s centerpiece How The PhoneEmail Attack Can Get You The Best Deal Saving You Time Money and Aggravation you’ll learn exactly what to do and say each step of the way as you conduct a competitive bidding process from your home or office Ideally you’ll enlist 9 or 10 dealers that you choose to make price proposals and you’ll go with the winner We also tell you the best day of each month to start the process You’ll receive our signature Big Picture analysis of how the brands and the specific vehicles you’re interested in have been doing in the market Are your model’s sales up or down Does the average dealer sell 2 per month or 22 This piece also reveals the current holdback information for brands that use it several don’t You’ll get the complete current sticker/MSRP and dealer invoice pricing data for the vehicles you’re considering covering all the trim levels and equipment packages Here’s a current list of model pricing available You’ll also get these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make The Big Bucks And How They Don’t Today Incentives Often Differ From Market To Market Here’s How To Check The Offers Where You Are The Two Big ‘Fake News’ Come-ons To Ignore The Myth Of Vehicle-Specific Dealer Cash Incentives The Crucial Financial Importance Of A Dealership’s Customer Satisfaction Rating Important Note On The Pricing Of Dealer-Installed Accessories Can You Get The Vehicle Configuration You Want Things To Consider About Placing A Factory Order Have You Chosen A Crashworthy Vehicle Thoughts On Buying A Demo Or Last Year’s Leftover Model Should You Buy An Extended Warranty Dealing With A Trade-In If you tell us you have one Leasing 101: The Straight Skinny If you tell us you’re leasing or undecided Here’s The Information We Need To Analyze Your ‘Best-Offer’ Lease Numbers With You If you tell us you’re leasing or undecided Our unique package includes all the information you need to negotiate the best price on for any one vehicle You may place an order here on a secure encrypted order form at any time Special Message To Previous Customers The Fighting Chance package is always changing to reflect new knowledge and the best ways to deal with the changing realities in the retail car business Sometimes the changes are dramatic For example the method for getting competitive bids differs substantially from the arms-length/one-step fax or email attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive Fighting Chance information package Important Note: This is a service for NEW VEHICLES ONLY We have no information on used vehicles Also we have NO CANADIAN PRICING DATA Copyright © 2017 Fighting

James Bragg As a result: over 145000 new-car shoppers have used the Fighting Chance 3-step competitive bidding process to get the lowest price possible without walking into a single car store to haggle! With this empowering guide to buying or leasing a new car you’ll be in total control conducting the process from your home or office among several dealers that you choose The guide teaches you exactly what to say and do and when to do it And unlike every other new-car info site we’ll be here to answer your questions by phone every step of the way eg If you’re leasing we’ll go through the best-offer numbers with you before you sign the papers You Need The Whole Truth About The New-Car Business And This Is The Only Website Where You’ll Find It WARNING! Because I’m opening your eyes to the truth they’ve all been hiding our facts and action recommendations contradict EVERYTHING you’re being told and encouraged to do by TrueCar Edmunds Kelley Blue Book Carscom Consumer Reports and the other big new-car info sites which get all their revenue from the automakers and dealers they send you to For openers no dealer wants you to understand this: Every new car is a commodity the same vehicle with the same price structure at every dealership In the art of the deal the winner is always the one with the leverage And there’s ZERO LEVERAGE in walking into a car store and haggling You’re playing an away game and no one there is rooting for your team That dealer’s competitor isn’t the other brands it’s the other dealers who sell his brand And the winning leverage always comes from having several of them compete for your business Here’s an example: A customer got 9 dealers to compete for a redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V without leaving his home or office and paid 1090 below invoice The eight other bids were 900 below 510 below 410 below 180 below and 300 over invoice 460 over 530 over and 930 over – a 2020 spread from low to high! The winning Sales Manager said This is the only smart way to buy a car But if everyone did it this way we’d be out of business And that store may have been the next month’s high bidder depending on how it was doing then vs its target Question: What should we have told him was a good price for that car Any number we mentioned would have been bone stupid And that’s true for any car you want Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying or else you say something true and it will sound like it’s from Neptune – Noam Chomsky Why aren’t those auto-info old-boy clubs Kelley Blue Book Edmunds TrueCar carscom Consumer Reports etc telling you this Because they pocket referral fees of 300 to 500 when you buy a car from dealers in their networks – money which comes from your pocket They’re in business to help dealers sell cars profitably not to help you get the lowest price If they told you the truth they’d be out of business tomorrow Our customers almost always beat their prices frequently by a lot That’s why over half of our orders come from previous customers and their referrals No Auto-Info Site Can Serve Two Masters He Serves Just One: You The New-Car Buyer Founder James Bragg a Yale and Harvard Business School graduate is a career-long change agent who has always challenged conventional wisdom With 25 years and over 65000 hours focused solely on this subject he’s the country’s most knowledgeable new-car buyers’ consumer advocate And unlike every old-boy club source of new-car info and advice including Consumer Reports he’s never taken a dime from dealers or automakers As a result he’s become the sole source of the long-hidden truth about the dealer invoice price dealer cash incentives and the only smart way to buy a new car in today’s market His Discovery That The Invoice Price Has Nothing To Do WithAny Dealer Cost Shocked Consumer Reports Into Killing ItsNew Car Price Service a major cash cow Since 1983! In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of truthful information and powerful negotiating advice on the Internet We’ve been focused single-mindedly on this subject since before the Dead Sea got sick and much of our knowledge has come from our

these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn

package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive Fighting Chance information package Important Note: This is a service for NEW VEHICLES ONLY We have no information on used vehicles Also we have NO CANADIAN PRICING DATA Copyright © 2017 Fighting

In November 2012 he proved to that organization and four other auto-info biggies that the dealer invoice price has had no relationship to any vehicle’s cost since 1994 invalidating the core assumption behind their target price advice The effectiveness of that ancient invoice-based negotiating approach is dead as a doornail Embarrassed by its two-decade failure to recognize that obvious fact Consumer Reports dumped its legendary ‘cash cow’ New Car Price Service – the one they claimed would tell you the dealer’s true cost which hasn’t been true for 23 years Can there be any stronger evidence that the way to get the best price has changed forever It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard – George Christoph Lichtenberg WHY IS AUGUST A SPECIAL MONTH TO PUT A NEW CAR IN YOUR GARAGE Because it’s the final month of the March-August peak-demand period when dealers must push most aggressively for sales With vacations over and kids back in school and other priorities occupying most families September sales have averaged 15 lower than August’s over the last 5 years New-car sales slipped 18 last year to 172 million about 300000 units behind 2016 January-July ’18 sales inched up just 11 from year-ago but that tiny gain was based mainly on increased fleet sales to rental car companies and businesses not retail sales July sales were actually down 37 Overall sales might drop below 17 million this year for the first time in three years All of the pent-up demand from the recession has been satisfied and the market is more competitive than ever with automakers spending more on incentives to move the metal That puts you smack-dab in the driver’s seat This is the week to place an order August ends with 5 dead sales weekdays Dealers shy of their August targets will be pricing more aggressively then than they did before that last weekend to try to catch up You’ll be requesting competitive out-the-door price proposals next Monday or Tuesday morning Why am I the only one telling you these facts Because if the big new-car info and buying services did they’d jeopardize their entire revenue stream which comes from dealers and automakers not you For 25 years I’ve been on a mission to unearth and expose the long-hidden truths that Consumer Reports TrueCar Edmunds Carscom Kelley Blue Book and the auto industry don’t want you to know Those facts demolish all their conventional wisdom about how to buy a car and they transfer the negotiating leverage from the dealers to you Isn’t it time you stopped looking at the way to buy a new car through their rear-view mirrors PS Will you visit me when I enter the witness protection program JAMES BRAGG HOW TO ORDER THE PACKAGE AND WHEN AND HOW YOU’LL GET IT To place an order on our secure encrypted order form click on the Ordering link in the upper left column If you’d prefer to place a phone order or if you have questions that aren’t answered on our web site you may call our order desk at 1-562-433-8489 between 9:15AM and 4:00PM Pacific time Monday through Friday To see the vehicles for which we have pricing info click on the Auto Pricing link in that column Normal Delivery Timing: 99 of our customers request email delivery This is a tiny information boutique We usually send email orders by the next business day — with one exception this fall My assistant who sends the orders is a grad school student who’s in class all day Tuesday starting August 28th SO LATE MONDAY ORDERS AND ALL TUESDAY’S WILL USUALLY BE EMAILED TO CUSTOMERS ON WEDNESDAY We’ll be here 562-433-8489 to answer your questions and analyze your best lease offer weekdays between 9:15 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific time For a sneak peek at what you’ll get for 4495 scroll down to What’s In The Fighting Chance Package The Dealer Invoice Price Has Become a Bloated Imposter That Has Had Nothing To Do With Any New Car’s Real Cost For Twenty Three Years! And The Industry Moves It Further From Any Cost As noted above Bragg proved it to senior execs of Consumer Reports Kelley Blue Book Edmunds Carscom and TrueCar in a 11/27/12 USA TODAY Automotive Roundtable discussion of whether online car shopping and information services are believable and are relevant in today’s market To see it click here You could have heard a pin drop Incredibly no one was aware of a game-changing fact that had been in front of their noses for 17 years! It’s their worst nightmare because it exposes their pay what others paid as terrible advice Bragg asked the Consumer Reports person Who’s been running your New Car Price Service for the past 20 years Rip Van Winkle He was not amused To read much of the USA TODAY Don’t Trust That Invoice Price write-up on that meeting in which Bragg was dubbed a peppery contrarian click here To understand how laughable new-car pricing is today check out the tiny percentage differences between the base invoice and retail/sticker prices for each brand: Acura/5-7 Audi/7 BMW/6 Buick/4-5 Cadillac/5 Chevy/5-7 Dodge/3-4 Ford/1-7 Genesis/5-7 GMC/5-7 Honda/3-9 Hyundai/3-7 Infiniti/7 Jeep/2-5 Kia/5-7 Lexus/5-8 Lincoln/4-5 Mazda/3-5 Mercedes/7 Mitsubishi/2-3 Nissan/2-7 Ram/4-9 Subaru/5-7 Toyota/4-9 VW/4-5 Volvo/6 And that’s if you pay the full sticker price! Who does that The guy who thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company Add the fact that dealerships have an overhead expense of 12 to 15 of revenue and you’d have to be brain dead to believe the invoice price is in the same area code as any cost number The auto industry is having a good laugh at how gullible we are It’s even flipping us off now with pricing for the Chrysler Pacific Hybrid minivan: Invoice 44895 Retail 44995! Yet all the info and advice on those big auto-info websites is based on our swallowing – hook line and sinker – the preposterous notion that for decades automakers have been telling everyone what their dealers pay for their cars If that were true dealers would go ballistic But they don’t and they never did even before the Internet arrived Your responsibility as a person is to constantly update your positions on as many things as possible If you don’t contradict yourself regularly you’re not thinking – Malcolm Gladwell The inside story of the discovery of that game-changing fact is told in our book Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag: How The Auto Industry ‘Redesigned’ The Dealer invoice Price When The Internet Arrived available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon To read the back cover copy Preface Table of Contents and the first four chapters click here If you’d like a author-signed copy 1495 including postage you can add that to your order for the Fighting Chance information package Here’s Bragg’s Take On Those Consumer Auto Pricing Sites Those sites are: a pitching the range of what other clueless shoppers have paid as the holy grail of transaction prices b using rebates which everyone gets and a comparison of their prices to the full sticker price which almost no one pays to inflate their claims of savings from using their services and c sending you on a ‘milk run’ to a small number of dealers in their networks who relish the thought of selling you a car at those prices and reward those conduit sites handsomely with the advertising and/or finder’s fees of 300 to 500 that comes out of your pocket Question: When you’re thinking about getting a new car are you sitting there saying Gee I hope I get a price that’s close to what everyone else is paying We don’t get to choose what is trueWe only get to choose what we do about it – Kami Garcia These Are The Facts About How Most Dealer Incentive Programs Work Today It’s 2018 not 1994 and that world isn’t flat anymore it’s round 90 of the bucks spent on dealer cash are in multi-month programs based on total sales targets and subjective issues like customers’ ratings of their selling dealerships NOT on sales of specific vehicles The rewards can be five to six-figure bonuses Some are stair-step promotions in which per-vehicle bonuses increase as dealers reach higher volume thresholds And no one can tell you any dealership’s target or performance level or when these programs start and end So reaching interim monthly goals along the way is crucially important There’s a lot of seasonality in the business and dealers can’t go into the last month 15 behind where they should have been based on that seasonal pattern That keeps steady sales pressure on month after month Dealers trailing their monthly targets near month-end will sell for much less and that’s likely to be different dealers each month WHAT’S IN THE FIGHTING CHANCE PACKAGE You’ll have the only independent unbiased source of

these insightful fact-based articles by Mr Bragg most of them information no other auto-info site will tell you Focus only on those relevant to your purchase or lease How We Abandoned Our Inborn Common Sense About New-Car Pricing How The Industry Has Turned The Invoice Price Into A Bloated ImposterBy Continually Raising It By More Than The MSRP For Over Two Decades How New-Car Dealers Make

changing realities in the retail car business Sometimes the changes are dramatic For example the method for getting competitive bids differs substantially from the arms-length/one-step fax or email attack process we recommended several years ago At other times the changes are small but represent worthwhile improvements The suggested wording in the note you’ll send dealers is fine-tuned often The package you’d receive today will typically include several insightful changes compared to the one you ordered years ago The Cost Of This Unique Package 4495 Includes all the information you need for any one vehicle Additional vehicles: 1500 each More than half of our customers add one or more additional vehicles as fall-back alternatives This could become a small but wise 1500 decision if you find it difficult to deal on your first choice Considering the substantial cost of the new vehicle you’re about to buy or lease isn’t this a relatively small price to pay for the comprehensive
