" With the -- flex Gleason show."

" Welcome back to -- out of like sleeping jealous when outside -- fan my name is simple some very and I am doing my dating classic games and penny picker. Important phone numbers you need to know new studio new number frank this sundown. 877811053. 877881105. Street -- number direct to the studio you can also send a -- X and 437330. Or you can tell auto -- and those numbers David."

" If you're 17 or 9722341234. Go to our flex dot com on the worldwide web look at all the great -- cars. And -- returns that we have."

" And we have a very smart listener in Carrollton his name as well and well congratulations you're gonna be our first phone call ever in our new studio. Four Q you are -- I don't like pleasing show on 105 feet of sand."

" Okay I -- the concern question I have a trailer all nine routes for. And I call they have wreak harm it. And I call the dealer and they don't know. What they're just not there are aware of their Kurdish fiction anything honor and I certainly have you guys have heard anything about them."

" Well it's a really really good question I'm gonna -- your talking about the accelerator recalled. Our earlier trade gap they they originally came out and said that it was due to formats and formats -- the accelerator pedal down. That didn't make a whole lot of sense and but they did stick with that for awhile -- thought there were going to be. These fine but it they're not but now they're looking at the actual mechanics to the accelerator pedal on those cars. And maybe more than likely the electronics because there's electronic solenoid then actually controls the accelerator on the car when you push down the -- It it increases or decreases voltage -- solenoid then open your clothes your throttled down. And they think that may be the problem but they haven't really announced it yet there is a big recall as you know out. For a four point two million Toyota's. Lexus vehicles but. I don't think -- localized for sure what they need to fix."

" So will what model Toyota do you have are never don't know -- forward. Did you receive your recall notice from Toyota already."

" I don't know I guess -- heard about it on the news the other night I called -- curing. And they've just said what they ever. Do they don't have apart yet and they don't know what restriction on that yet."

" Yeah -- I think get through this story you know law I was with Cadillac in neon. Early eighties and they hand the same kind of problem on their everybody cars there'll brought us. And it was in fact -- The electronic sell annoyed there was beef it up there and it was a strange thing if you. Turned on the radio applied to break internal listen turn signal on and these are arbitrary things -- same but if you get all three things at one time it would send erroneous signal. This little solenoid and tell it to open up accelerator weird he had did and are few cars and now they made some quick changes in and fixed it. Hopefully -- Toyota burial --"

" My daughter graduates will -- Jeep Grand Cherokee and and they know us now aren't Jews. Are -- on the news yeah yeah exactly."

" Well I I guess the safest thing to do would be market for a while until they figured out that. Another thing he can do is -- that 1800 number that's in the owner's manual Toyota and go straight to the source and start asking questions and demanding some you know answers trying to --"

" We're not gonna encourage. Your right right yeah how Long Will the the information -- yeah I got the it's the latest that was out as far as I know as of yesterday instrument. Okay take you very much all right sure there are so all right. I'm -- yeah so Prager should be very acres."

" All those are those cars were great they fell apart before they got all."

" I haven't -- thank you will 8778811053. -- is the Toyota recalling every model or just a couple of."

" No I don't know models are a lot of cars aren't Camry the -- for it and it also includes some cars some other cars as isn't toyotas -- there are some other cars that shared technology with Toyota. The GM bill will talk a little bit about tendon in his."

" I'm just saying okay but now let's talk about some traffic -- so a lot of people are out running errands on a Saturday. It's good now if you get pulled over here's the."

" She did not wanna deal well you know I think most people have some ideas of things -- they've heard of people well I beat this take it here's what I did that kind of thing. And I think it's really important to note that there are things that work and things that don't work at all and -- very first thing I would say is. When the officer says do you know why I pulled you over. Politely saying no war. Because if you goalie I looked down and I was speeding your cooked at that point on this. Did you kill your posts yet it's. So that would be the very very first thing. Armed I think the biggest myth that's out there is if that if the officer ranks any kind of mistake on the -- and all. They you'll be able to beat it is yes that's trail and it's not here's why. On if he makes a mistake according to your hair color. He misspelled your name he writes down though the license number on your car in correctly. That's probably not going to get your ticket dismissed aren't there rules are. Who where and how at all. In usually who where and how will work if they write your name down incorrectly. If they -- right where you were located when you violated the the law down incorrectly. Or if they invite if they wrote down incorrectly what you were doing. Then there's a chance that that might get dismissed it's the duke where and how rule of traffic ticket let's say dismiss spell your name -- won't do it. That the judge is gonna overlook a lot of things his Jewish typographical errors and not so if they're not really key to India since itself. All or if they put unit different place I mean if you're supposed to be in one place and they put you another different street George street or whatever then you've got something to work with -- makes -- typographical air. You take its probably gonna stand."

" It and."

" I onetime vehemently disagreed with the police officer about my speeding tickets and but I just electric I don't know why but I was really passionately. I felt like I was right to hunt them. I probably was speeding later I did little test to see how fast it can get going from making that left turn that you think you'll. Really I couldn't believe it I don't know haves and Richardson -- possibly he had such a passionate argument was passion I think she was ready -- he news Dallas going to end up. -- this -- so -- I did selling entry is this the first one that I bet I only gimme. -- Everybody gets line. Myth number two if the officer doesn't show up in court you automatically when -- heard -- do well it can't happen in many cases but there's nothing automatic about it most judges will drop the case of the officer does not appear in court because defendants do you have a constitutional right to question their accusers. However calm not. In some jurisdiction jurisdictions a case is scheduled at a time when that officer can't be present or the judge will reschedule the case altogether and I would imagine that would. Hold truth they're really trying to make some revenue -- their little area -- I don't just automatically assume that they also doesn't show up that your case just dropped."

" And number three. Race cars get more tickets carry that --"

" They don't think this is simple fact. Really color doesn't have near as much to do with how fast you're going when you run the Red -- views of some of the red may come in the air but. For the most part driving a red -- are bright green car may attract a little bit more attention -- statistically. Doesn't cause you to get more tickets. What about red cars cost more on insurance. Negative -- I not because I balancing your heart -- has nothing to do with the price of insurance when I called the insurance companies to. Give the all new information -- my client's brand new car they never asked what color was. Ever get get details that's not. Not a factor another -- we're getting a lot of takes and now history I guess we are here's one actually when it can't -- Q why pulled you over you're supposed to say. Because you didn't go to college so we'll -- that's actually you know what and most police officers do go to college have gone to college before their police officer you actually have to have some college hours under your belt before you can even start going to the police academy absolutely. So there texture that's right in my anomalous a competent. By -- I think and I used to -- graduates many years ago at an expert okay good advice on. When if it -- celery sticks but the car in neutral. Oh on though a gallon Toyota Algeria and Iran anytime you're gonna card hit the accelerator stage you can put the car in neutral and that way you still have power sharing breaks. But in the engine -- race but at least two cars and racing down the street -- Yeah now turner are off about her own and and a if you turn the car -- don't know what is your power sharing breaks and so that's not really the good solution to putting the car in neutral --"

" Got it -- who can that in mind a myth number four you need a longer to be to take it. Not necessarily might expect most traffic ticket attorneys to say you can't beat your own ticket. But the little time in homework he -- and end I'll tell you this in Richardson if you do our traffic attorney you're not gonna get -- can stick it. Because I did it. Once when I did get the ticket I hired somebody paid them the money in my -- that was just wasted money -- group. So anyway it at the very least first time offenders for minor offenses can usually struck a plea bargain in most jurisdictions. So any attorney Steven definitely outweigh."

" The fines and impacted the first violation of -- So do that deferred adjudication of -- speeding in pride and our defensive driving them that do I've done medicine alone and you can't read them."

" you can't there's there's a number of law firms and actually specialize in traffic tickets and you can hire those guys and in some cases. They can at least get you some sort of of probation and maybe keep it off your record to be."

" I don't mind the fines or having probation are having to take classes or anything like that right now don't. It's not I don't -- know my record I don't my insurance to go up and that's what I'd be good morning to hire the attorney for. Make sure it stays off my record but Cheney came to do that with a defensive driving in the diverted due to total I don't know is that I think that keeps about your record -- All right let's take a call here 8778811053. Stephen Frisco welcome to the -- show."

" And I wait Camry hybrid with 36000 miles all had. I mean they're pretty good equity position in the and I'm really not interest city and buying another car I'd I'd. -- always buy cars every two years some really address that in some options Middle -- saying. And I work here how about half the time. So. You know hybrid is really not going to be a -- for you good to me to buy another one. So I'm kind of interest didn't know what the white need to look for one eight. Totally another card if it doesn't seem to me. To lease an expensive car appeared in attributed that to two years. And not keep it."

" all depends on really what you won't drop it down. The more expensive the car obviously the higher your payments well and if you buy me a car and keeping your tears your depreciation losses substantial. I definitely need to consider releasing data as it for a couple reasons number one you you don't pay all of the depreciation loss which is one thing. -- thing is you're not subject to the market at the time. You've got a very you've got a Toyota Camry hybrid. Which given the price of gasoline is worth either a lot more for a lot less in recent history. So if you actually lease a car and you have an idea but guarantee resell value at least to protect -- from a big swing. Gas goes back to you know about fifty gallon. This fourth a lot less gas there's four bucks a gallon it's solid gold. But you never know which way that's gonna swing so that there -- to resell value would would give you some protection."

" And the big bonus there is if gas is four dollars a gallon and then all of a sudden you have equity in at least you can capture that by using -- is traded on the next car so."

" lose with at least that you definitely wins in the -- is lower or like people with the big talk posts you know when gas was four dollars they were taking the bank -- and --"

" So what about what about. 650 dollar acquisition C. And I says well I've also heard that there. Sometimes you have to pay. -- when you turn the car and like if you have a Honda. Can kind of help me understand."

" Yeah sure yeah -- the okay here's the thing. And if the car is in good condition you turn it back in your fine if if it has dings and dents and scratches. If it has cracked windshield as it has worn out tires this same thing happens is when you trade the car into a dealer. The bank looks with the car and goes okay how do we get this car ready for resale we have to fix the -- sedans we have to put -- it -- And you would be liable for all those -- things it's in the police. If you trade your car into a used car tuned car dealer he does the same thing and it cost you the same thing it's sort of -- push. But if it's in great shape when you -- in you're not build. If there is problems you are -- Acquisition fees on the front end of leases. Are pretty well consistent in the business all lenders have an acquisition feel the least. Generally you'll get a very low interest rate on the lease in one of the way is that the lender makes money back is by charging an acquisition -- So that's sports are part of these charges police."

" So why why should I. What goes to waste my car through -- network."

" Well we're gonna offer you a lot more programs and anybody else's for one thing and we have every lender out there that's available. And we should be able to offer you a better deal then you're getting now there are certain times I mean if if a manufacturer is having a lot of trouble getting rid of a certain kind of car they'll put giveaway program on that car just to move the car out. And at that point in time we're gonna DirecTV probably of that program because. It if it beats us we're fine with that will -- we'll see the next time. But most of the time will have a a program that'll be more more beneficial for -- We'll have more -- Ability to rise higher or lower mile lease is different term leases since that's what we do for a living we have everything out there available. And the people that you deal -- with -- flags have all been in the business for years and years we don't have anybody that just joined us it's only been in the business for six months. I would guess the you're doing -- is no -- he's our guest if you deals one of our people. They would have a minimum of ten years in business and more than likely closer to fifteen or twenty years."

" In addition many do go to the dealership of course the first person you meet is yourself person. And healing and you -- the vehicle that you want to in the knees start to negotiation process but he is not the one who decides what your -- for the car there's a manager in the in the Booth kind of behind the curtain since worked in the deal with -- an American fourth. When you finally agree on the price there they needed to go into the finance department and you might see him. And aftermarket person first who wants to sell you all the snake oil I called snake oil Leno paint Palin's and so forth. Which the car has clear -- so the paint is already sealed. And but there are some benefits in -- they -- extended warranties they'll sell accessories and things like that. And always -- little additional profits and you get to meet the finance manager and start that negotiating process. So I think the main reason our clients really liked to work with does is they just work with one person. The person that they call in to visit with because we negotiate the price of the new car for you. There are -- departments. Renegotiate the best deal for you with the bank. If you want any of those aftermarket accessories whether it's an extended warranty your spoiler or -- sensors or. A navigation system aftermarket whatever you might want. We will find the best price for you and we don't have to mark all of that at the bank will pay us a facilitator -- so we just really want your business over and over again. And then when she least that -- from us when you're ready for that next -- years you can call someone that you already know. We have all of your data on file we already kind of know how you like to work a deal. There's -- I think there's a great level of comfort."

" There well and the other thing is if you're driving your camera right now but you decide on the record the next time and may be -- Ford Focus the next time any make -- model you can still feel the same person you don't have to change car dealers or change our people."

" So if you can pay the same or less. They get that kind of service my clients call me for everything that they get a little knickers scratch or -- crack in the windshield I have a source. To get that repaired."

" A little cheaper."

" You know and someone that I thirty know that does great work you know if you walk into a new place. All on your own really sure how well they're gonna do on your you know bumper repair. One of my clients continue to trade in her car -- humans out from her release. And she has scratches on her bumper and somebody came by the office and somebody else is having their stakes so she had nurse takes it looked horrible. -- He called me for all of that stuff I can make sure that looks great so it cost her a couple hundred dollars in the trade in value."

" Because her bumper looked terrible -- we're gonna have to repaint it."

" So you have a little extra customer service I believe when you do with dust you know her -- first this is gonna direct you to the service department."

" How can I find out what might ever -- before."

" A couple of ways we've got a young -- you can actually go to our flex dot com. And and get a blank look appraisal right there on the web site. I funeral reflects dot com and go down to get me a black -- appraisal it'll bring you through some questions and then it gave you a fairly good idea. Given the miles condition and -- agent Clark what the car should be worth."

" But you can also bring it again. And if that car's worth a little bit more to someone else what we do -- look at the vehicle take all the -- down in the Wii shop whenever you're ready to do a deal. We're gonna shop that car around."

" And get the most from whoever will pay the most for you."

" And if that's pretty much whatever deal does."

" No no no US leaders have used -- manager and his job is to get the car for as little money as possible. To put on the lot to make his most and as much money as possible he doesn't get paid anything when you traded and he gets paid when he sells that I'm."

" 822000. -- the hybrid."

" Yeah I as a they'll -- it's a good deal our main motivation is to help you get into a new car. And so we're not going to. We won't put more money in your car we will put so much money in your car that we could not sell it and get out but we'll try to get more money for it then you would normally get a dealer. Because do we don't have used car manager looking your car thinking how cheaply can I get it and how much I get for it. We simply try to get the most for your car when we trade for a and then whatever the high number is we'll check auctions will call dealers will call -- that's. That's the number you get the high number now so that's what you don't get everywhere else."

" I what are they have you made me nicely thank you Eric. I gave you an inch and an 8778811053. Right up against it let's finish up our chest tightening its on the other side this is the I don't like pleasing -- underwent a 53 to say and."

" Will be back with more on the -- pleasing show."
