In some cases, buyers use “direct lending:” they obtain a loan directly from a finance company, bank or credit union. In direct lending, a buyer agrees to pay the amount financed, plus an agreed-upon finance charge, over a period of time. Once a buyer and a vehicle dealership enter into a contract to purchase a vehicle, the buyer uses the loan proceeds from the direct lender to pay the dealership for the vehicle. Consumers also may arrange for a vehicle loan over the Internet. http://www.worcester.bbb.org/article/ftc-understanding-vehicle-financing-4690 Sat, 01 Apr 2006 05:00:00 GMT A new car is second only to a home as the most expensive purchase many consumers make.

In addition to conventional gasoline and diesel fuel, reformulated — cleaner — gasoline and alternative fuels now are sold in many parts of the country. Alternative fuels such as methanol, ethanol, compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and electricity produce fewer tail pipe pollutants than conventional gasoline and diesel fuel. Using them could improve air quality. http://www.worcester.bbb.org/article/ftc-consider-the-alternatives-alternative-fueled-vehicles-and-alternative-vehicle--4387
