WANADA dealers help out with the news
[I]Jack Fitzgerald and Vince Sheehy offer TV viewers and radio listeners some insightful commentary[/I]WANADA dealer members were in the news recently speaking for the industry on stories related to the fuel economy of new vehicles and the ins and outs of financing.
Jack Fitzgerald of Fitzgerald Auto Malls was on camera at ABC News with Dianne Sawyer commenting on a story related to yo-yo financing and the consequences it can have for unwary consumers. Said Mr. Fitzgerald, the practice is outrageous and shouldn’t be done,” referring to the deceptive trade practice when a dealer arranges financing on a vehicle purchase with reason to know the financing offered cant be placed.
Closer to home, Vince Sheehy of Sheehy Auto stores weighed in on a WAMU FM program related to Thanksgiving holiday driving, fuel efficient vehicles and the promise of all-electric vehicles.
Acknowledging as a Nissan dealer there were not many Nissan Leaf electric cars available in the area, Sheehy said the car was pretty much sold out for the year, but that buyers don’t have to go electric to save on gas. “Theres been a tremendous improvement in the fuel efficiency in what we call the mainstream vehicles and I think that has really narrowed the gap with the hybrids,” he said.
