The Christian Car Guy Radio Show!

You may have heard me quote one of my father’s favorite sayings…”You can’t put too much money in a good car and you can’t put too little in a bad car”. Which leads to the question; how do you know the difference?

1. Prayer… God does know and if you are like me you need all the help you can get.
2. Pedigree… Sure make model all that kind of stuff, but more importantly: Who owned it? How many owners? How was it maintained? How was it used?
3. Probe…Have it checked out by an expert, and look into every nook and cranny. Even the valve stem caps by removing them may reveal flood damage.
4. Poll… Proverbs 24:6″ in a multitude of counselors there is safety” Someone might just know that all 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokees had rear axle problems, or some other clue to problem cars.

These are a few of my tips. Share yours today and call in to 866-348-7884 or post them under comments.

Today on the Christian Car Guy Sam De La Garza, Fiesta Brand Manager.

 The Ford Fiesta sedan/hatchback is the first minicar to earn the Top Safety Pick award since the Institute added a roof strength requirement for rollover protection. The Fiesta is recognized as a Top Safety Pick after earning good ratings for front, side, rollover, and rear crash protection, and for having electronic stability control as standard equipment. No other minicar the Institute has tested has earned top ratings in all four safety evaluations.

 The Fiesta is the eighth Ford model to earn the Institute’s top designation. The others are Ford Fusion/Lincoln MKZ/Mercury Milan, Ford Taurus/Lincoln MKS, and Ford Flex/Lincoln MKT.

 The Fiesta’s award applies to cars built after July 2010 because Ford made design changes to strengthen the outside door handles to minimize the possibility of doors opening in side impact crashes.

My Oldest Daughter Tess’s family came over for dinner the other night and her husband left early, then about 9:30 she goes to leave, drops her keys on the front seat as she goes to strap my grand daughter in her car seat. She straps Lila in her car seat and shuts the door, guess what? Somehow the doors lock and there she is in my driveway with my granddaughter strapped in her car seat locked in the car with no keys. What do you do?

Lessons from the OX

 To me a great car salesman is like this Ox in two ways both in competence and in character.

Proverbs 14:4 (New International Reader’s Version)
 4 Where there are no oxen, the feed box is empty.
      But a strong ox brings in a great harvest.

 A salesman who really knows his product, what model has which features and how those features benefit the customer. He also needs to know financing and leasing and those options as well. He should know his store and how to work things smoothly within it’s systems from handling the transaction to getting the car ready.

Proverbs 10:4 (New International Reader’s Version)
 4 Hands that don’t want to work make you poor.
      But hands that work hard bring wealth to you.

 This has more to do with the salesperson’s character, the salesman that will go the extra mile to get you the most for your car or the lowest interest rate, or sometimes go across the country to find the car you want.

1 Timothy 5:18  

For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”

Lastly consider how hard the salesman worked for you before you go online or something and beat his deal by 50 bucks. Many times customers take advantage of the hard working salesman and forget that part of the transaction has to pay the salesperson.
