Down to Earth - No Pressure - Car Dealer



October 01, 2012 Billy's Camaro
Listen::: Haus Auto Group treated me right from my very first email. I shop online all the time, I have purchased a few cars online and had troubles with other dealerships that bait and switch cars and prices to sometimes confuse even the most experienced car buyer... But not Haus!!! As an online Car Dealer I found the car I thought I could only dream about... Haus Auto Group made the "DEAL" a reality for me and my family and I drove my Dream car home the very next day. They SELL really cool cars that move quick... I was lucky to find "my car" (2010 Camaro SS/RS) when I did... The sales team is down to earth and super friendly, I felt no pressure at all. The Next Time When I am ready to buy another vehicle, I will definitely shop for a vehicle from Haus Auto Group - Be sure to ask for Steven this guy Rocks!

When i first contacted the dealership i was greeted by a very pleasant young man, Steven, he was very helpful and worked with me till we got the vehicle and payment we were looking for. The finance manager was also very helpful and friendly. The dealership is not at all close to my hometown we just happened to take a drive to see what kind of deal we could work up and with the help of the Haus crew we were able to make a deal and they accommodated my schedule and delivered my vehicle to my house, 4hrs away, just to make the deal work! By far the best dealership i have ever dealt with and plan to return..Thanks so much Haus Auto Group!!!

Hertz pays $2.3B for Dollar Thrifty





Car rental giant Hertz is in the process of purchasing Dollar Thrifty. The deal is said to be for $2.3 billion, according to an Associated Press report. As a result, Dollar Thrifty stock increased by seven percent in trading before the market opened today.

According to the report, Hertz has been eying its rental car rival for two years now. Additionally, Avis Budget Group was also interested in purchasing Dollar Thrifty. Hertz made the move, though, at a price of $87.50 per share, representing an eight-percent premium over Friday's closing price for the stock of $81 per share.

In a statement, Hertz Chairman and CEO Mark P. Frissora said that the buyout will give his company two more well-known brands and make the company more competitive in Europe and other international markets.

While both parties have agreed to the deal, the Federal Trade Commission must approve the acquisition. According to the report, Hertz has maintained an open line of communication with the FTC throughout the process.

Hertz has roughly 8,650 locations of various types in 150 nations throughout the globe. Dollar Thrifty has about 280 locations in the U.S. and Canada and 1,300 franchise locations worldwide. The two corporations when combined fulfills Dollar Thrifty President and CEO Scott Thompson's assertion that the "transaction is not only compelling for stockholders, but also will help broaden its reach." In addition, the deal is also projected to save Hertz $160 million each year.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class being recalled due to possible accelerator entrapment

Mercedes-Benz M-Class being recalled due to possible accelerator entrapment

Floor mats impeding gas pedals are continuing to cause problems for automakers. This time its Mercedes-Benz.

According to The Detroit News, the German automaker is recalling all-season accessory floor mats on 2012 and 2013 M-Class models for fear that the mat could entrap the go-pedal.

Mercedes-Benz filed this recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, possibly effecting 8,675 in the United States. According to a Mercedes-Benz spokesperson, the floor mats "may not conform to the contours of the floor." This could result in the gas pedal being pressed, and not coming back up, resulting in the car continuing to accelerate. Mercedes has recommended that all M-Class owners remove the floor mats for the time being.

The luxury automaker will notify owners of effected vehicles and have dealers replace the mats free of charge. Mercedes-Benz vehicles currently incorporated brake-override systems that nix the gas pedal inputs when both the accelerator and brake are applied simultaneously.
